My education and experience with writing, editing, literature and grammar allow me to relate to most language arts situations, and working with 7th graders, working with alternative school students, and assisting graduate students with editing essays gives me a broad spectrum to draw from as a tutor. I believe that education is the key to individual success in life. Education brings out our strengths and weaknesses and forces us to address both. One on...

...Learning and teaching are dynamic activities which have a natural reciprocity. In addition to helping students learn the material; teachers should create an environment of support so students discover their own best learning style and strengths.

Students not only master the subject matter, but they learn how to...

I hope to share my expertise with my students, helping to prepare them for a real world of work.

...well. In addition to writing, I'm also qualified to tutor test prep, particularly ACT, SAT, and PSAT. In test prep sessions, I like to begin with one or more diagnostic tests and then create a plan for the remainder of our time together. It's always my goal to make the best use of your time, so I encourage students to tell me what they'd like to work on. This not only ensures that the lesson...

...recesses of my mind for a while. I entered college thinking I'd be a doctor; after a few semesters of biology and chemistry classes, I changed tack to pursue a career in counseling.

Then, when the time came to decide on a profession, I finally listened to my heart to become a teacher. In the three years...

I also worked at an orphanage during a semester study abroad experience in Ghana, West Africa where I provided both one-on-one and classroom instruction to students from 3-15 years of age. I am currently a teaching assistant for a law school professor where I provide incoming law students academic support including study skills, time management and basic legal analysis skills. For me, tutoring is about unlocking one's unique path to...

...their individual abilities so that I can help them think critically about math and encourage them to get excited and more interested in mathematics. At the beginning of each school year, each student takes a survey to discover what type of learner they are. As the students are more aware of their own learning style, they can adapt themselves accordingly. I also use the information to adapt my lessons accordingly. I often have the students...

Teaching is one thing, but learning is another.

...years I have worked in the adult education department of our local community college. My students choose from the HSE or HiSet exam. I teach all four subjects needed to pass those exams. Four years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle. But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw...

...my BA in English from the University of Southern California, and my MFA in Poetry from Washington University of St. Louis, where I also taught undergraduate poetry workshops for two years.
