English and Writing CAN be Fun!

Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.
The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them.

More About This Tutor...

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

Genuine and patient!

I have been working in non-profit management (fundraising) for the past several years. I have an MBA and my undergraduate degree is in Business Management. I am a native of Maryland and just moved to Michigan in the past few months. I have personal interest in helping others, as I myself needed help with my assignments and study habits as a working adult/parent/student. I am also proud to be a Veteran of the United States Navy.

High School Student looking for a way to give back.

I admittedly have little experience, but I have helped Friends with school work in the past. I've proofread for friends and helped them study for tests in lower level classes. I'm a above average student who loves kids, with hopes to be a teacher some point in the future. I'm hoping this way I can help some younger kids get ahead in school.

Let me, a journalist for NCAA football, help you write!

Creative and dynamic articles as a journalist is very important. I also am a great writer for long term papers in courses that require research and all the basic elements that put together A+ work. I can help you learn and create a style of your own to make writing enjoyable and not a chore. It is very important to learn young, in school and throughout college.
I am currently a writer for the MAC football conference on football.com. I just graduated from Michigan State University in Kinesiology, while I was a teaching assistant and tutor for writers and other athletic and medical fields. In college, I took many writing courses including writing research and creative writing, all while earning perfect scores and helping my peers. My senior year, without even graduating, I started writing for NCAA football on football.com, where I have grown as a writer and journalist. I also write a ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects!

I have taught in Dearborn Public Schools for 34 + years, 32 of which were in grades 9-12. I truly enjoy the process of teaching and watching students improve. Lack of confidence is often the cause of low achievement. I concentrate not only on self-image and confidence, but on ACTUALLY IMPROVING SKILLS so the student's confidence will come from within, not from mere positive re-inforcement, but from actually experiencing their own growth. I love to teach writing skills, reading improvement/comprehension, grammar, and all aspects of English language arts. Teaching for me is more than a job; it's a calling.
I know how important English communication skills are to success in ALL subjects, and my approach helps students to realize the connection between English and all academic areas.

Easy-going and very easy to relate to/understand

Casual, but very effective.
Employed at Oakland Community College 2010-2011. I have been a tutor at OCC since 2010, but have had a lot of private experience prior. My methods are very effective, yet unconventional. This serves both you and me very well because I like what I do and you get the knowledge you're seeking. I can always understand a student's individual needs because I have been around such a large variety of learning styles. Also, I believe that a "set" lesson plan is worthless for English because who's to say that everyone with a specific problem is not understanding it for the same reason? One person may not understand the use of paragraph formation for a completely different reason than the next.

Share your knowledge to someone else.

Critical thinking skills and untraditional ways are what I focus on. However the way someone learns, I will try to set the individual up to show how they learn and work with them. I will implement practices and materials I think will fit the student's profile. I feel a teacher wears many hats and you must be prepared to wear a different one any day.
I have been a tutor for 23 years and I have taught Adult Basic Education for 12 years. I am still continuing my education to receive a Masters degree and plan to get my PhD. I work for a community college and have done advising, enrollment, testing, phone directory, and student sevices. I have attended many professional development workshops on education.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I have experience working with students through college level.

My teaching style is very interactive. I like to begin a tutoring session by helping the student set a goal for the session. We then begin work on the material. During the session I encourage the student's learning by asking open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking. With writing assignments, the pen is always in the student's hand and, with guidance, the student makes choices about his or her writing. I use a method I call guided discovery, which encourages students to think in depth about their subject, discovering new methods and information with guidance from me.
In addition to having a Master of Arts in English Literature, I have extensive experience teaching English at the college level. I have spent the last three years as the Writing Corner Director at a Kansas community college, administering all of the writing tutoring for the college. This has provided me with ... read more

I am a seasoned teacher with a vast knowledge base.

I believe in on-hand materials, using all the modalities of hearing, seeing, & tactile.
I have taught for over (23) years from Kindergarten to college Anatomy. I have raised MEAP scores significantly with Math, Reading, & Writing. I also played @ EMU with college football, from 1972-1975. See current resume for experience. The most important part of any passion is attitude & work ethic. I possess both. I have made a difference in many students lives, & I hope I can make a difference in your son/daughter's life.
