I was lucky. My mother was an educator, and I received an excellent public school education through high school. When I entered college, I had earned enough credits (English, Biology, Calculus) to be a sophomore, technically. I used the openings that created to explore some unusual subjects: golf, martial arts, and living in Mexico for a semester. When I continued on to my MS, I had a graduate fellowship with the Political Science department. That gave me my first opportunity to teach, freshman American Government.I am curious by nature. I see learning as an adventure. You never know where it might take you.

I am a graduate of Kent State University with a BA in English and a minor in writing. I've also studied at the University of Pennsylvania. I've always been passionate about teaching since I was a child. "Playing School" was my favorite game to play growing up. So, I became a teacher, but I'm also an editor. My experience teaching has been an adventure because I don't just teach; I learn with my students. My favorite subject to tutor is English, writing, and reading because I've always been a "word nerd," and teaching these subjects leads to other subjects like history, current events, and culture that can add richly to lessons. Outside of teaching, I spend a lot of time reading. I enjoy traveling, too, because there is so much world to see and learn about.

I graduated from Kent State University in 1993 with a B.A in French and English. I then went back to school to complete my B.S in secondary education. I completed my student teaching in spring of 1996 and had a full time teaching job by the following spring of 1997. I really enjoyed subbing, meeting new students every day, learning about different subject matters, but I couldn't wait for a classroom of my own. I began teaching in 1997 and my course load included beginning levels of French as well as all levels of high school Language Arts. I was even able to teach creative writing which has always been a passion of mine. I love literature and the shared experience reading along with students as they create their own meanings from what we have read. My favorites include, but are not limited to: To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, Macbeth, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, Brave New World, Night and Frankenstein. Writing has always been a natural process for me: the planning and brainstorming,the organizing and outlining, creating my first draft, the editing process and of course the final product. During my teaching career, I served as the lead for the Language Arts department and was able to work collaboratively with other teachers, always trying new ideas, sharing and helping to support our students. I was also recognized by my students at a top 10% banquet. It was not long before I returned to Kent to complete my Masters degree in educational leadership and then my principal as well as superintendents license. This level of study in graduate school provided its own challenges, but I embraced them all. I love to be in the classroom in whatever capacity, whether I am a student, a teacher or even as an administrator. The learning process is something that I have studied and will continue to study. Helping students become successful in school, at the university level and as an adult in society is an unbelievable feeling. It's one that I hope to continue here. As a student, I was on the Deans list several times and recruited to be a part of Phi Delta Kappa. As an educator, I taught for 7 years, became an assistant principal for 4 years and then was recruited to be the head principal, first female, for a high school. I held that position for 5 years then transitioned to curriculum work, another passion of mine. As principal, I helped raise student test scores as well as our performance index each school year. I was the curriculum leader for my building and embraced it. I was named educator of the year for the high school as well as district in May of 2013. I am excited now to begin this new opportunity to work with students one on one and help them become successful - at whatever they want to do. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

My interests in the biological sciences lay at the boundary between basic research and application. In other words, I am passionate not only in the discovery of novel information, but also the practical application of that information in the context of human society. I strongly believe in scientists taking an active role in spreading science education and literacy as a part of this process, and this is what drove me to seek a position as a tutor for Varsity Tutors. I graduated with my Masters of Science in Ecology in May 2016, and while I had three years of teaching experience during that time, I felt the need to continue doing this kind of work. My personal goal for each student will be to help them not just learn the material, but learn how to learn better and use their strengths to become self-sufficient scholars in the Biological Sciences. It is my belief that by focusing on the learning processes, students become better critical thinkers. This increases their scientific literacy and, most importantly, allows them to share that knowledge with others.

My teaching philosophy is that the student usually knows what they need in order to learn. While it is very important to have control in the classroom as a teacher in order to direct learning activities efficiently, the student needs to be encouraged to interrupt the flow occasionally and ask questions. Learning styles vary greatly between students, and catering only to what one considers the "norm" allows people to slip through the cracks. I have found that I am not the most effective teacher unless I coax students to revisit material that did not make sense to them in class. My experience has been primarily with freshmen scientists and non-majors in general science courses, so the majority of them have not developed a comfort with the material and do not feel welcome asking questions for clarity at the beginning of the semester, but after the first few weeks of class I see students becoming much more adept at approaching the material.I have a progressive attitude about participation in classes. I believe there are circumstances where the curriculum needs to be adjusted because the lifestyle of the students cannot adapt to it. I am willing to give exams or quizzes during an office hour if a students has a rotating work schedule, or allow a student with a learning disability to request services in my class after a deadline has passed. I have an interest in universal design and other modifications to curriculum that help make higher education accessible to a broader subset of people. With that said, I am serious about maintaining order and consistency with my students. I do not like vague expectations or double-standards, and I work hard to make the course requirements very transparent for my students. I do expect students to care about their attendance to class and the quality of their work, and I emphasize participation and self-directed study as the key to succeeding in my classes. I always aim to create an environment that feels fair, safe and predictable because developing trust early on in the semester has been crucial for me to reach students, especially those that struggle.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference. You just have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Jane GoodallI want to make a positive, world changing difference! I believe teachers are given the opportunity to build on foundations laid by parents for a prosperous future, not only for individual children, but for our society as a whole. Although this is a huge responsibility for the adults, I believe that through the education of children, we are able to deliver children the opportunity to find a future which they enjoy. I believe in the reward of seeing children flourish and it is worth the effort and dedication required. I am a strong advocate for partnership with the parents/guardians of students I work with.While classroom/large group and small group settings are both important, I find particular value in the opportunity to meet 1:1 with students. Meeting a student where they are and helping them grow is very life-giving and rewarding to me!I have both my bachelor's and master's degrees in the field of education. I have over 10 years of classroom experience in the "brick and mortar" school. Since 2020, I have been teaching and tutoring on-line.

I believe the purpose of education is to help individuals reach a level of self-actualization - the achievement of one's highest potential. At its most foundational level, education means learning to read, write, and do arithmetic. I am passionate about helping learners build confidence and skills, with a particular focus on elementary reading and conversational ESL. I believe learning should be inspiring and fun. When students are engaged and motivated, they are more likely to develop a genuine desire to keep learning. I strive to teach in a way that builds on strengths and interests, while developing areas where students need additional support. As a visual learner myself, I understand that students learn in different ways and are often motivated as much by a supportive, encouraging teacher as by the method itself. By tailoring my instruction to the individual, I hope to build trust, rapport, confidence, and most importantly...a genuine enjoyment of learning.

I enjoy both teaching and tutoring, since I found that teaching others is only possible if you truly understand something yourself. I have also found that most students fear math because they have convinced themselves they are incapable of ever understanding it: convincing them that it is possible to learn the math seems to be almost more important than actually teaching the math. I always struggled with math myself: I like to say if I could learn it, anyone can.When not otherwise engaged, I like to walk, occasionally ride my bike, and try to keep up with reading.

I'm Kathleen, a veteran high school teacher and academic tutor. As an undergraduate, I attended Kent State University and majored in English with a minor called The Writing Certificate Program. After graduating, I earned an assistantship to the University of Toledo where I was able to teach Composition 1 and 2. I then transferred into the education department to earn my Masters in Secondary Education with a concentration in English. After graduate school, I began teaching middle school English and then moved on to high school English, where I have been teaching for twenty-three years. In 2012, I returned to graduate school to earn the Tesol license endorsement to facilitate educational services for English Learners. I also tutor students who are newer to the English language needing basic interpersonal communication or who need to advance beyond achieving an intermediate proficiency level. I have also worked as a professional learning coach for a private organization and specialized in the administration of the CAT test. My favorite part about working one to one with students is being able to focus entirely on assisting that one person to make progress. As a tutor, I have been able to help many students go from struggling in the subject matter to excelling at school beyond the target subject. As a veteran teacher who has taught at both the high school and college levels, I have a close familiarity with the skills and knowledge vital to succeed on the verbal sides of standardized testing such as ACT, SAT, state testing, and more . I would love to work with you or your child to assist with short or long term goals you may have related to language arts. I work hard to respond to inquiries within 24 hours. Please reach out to schedule a session soon!
