About Me

I am a graduate of Wright State University. I received my Bachelor of Integrated Language Arts and my Master of Education. Throughout much of my program, I have had many opportunities to tutor students from a variety of different backgrounds. The vast bulk of my experience tutoring has been with middle and high school students in "at-risk" school districts and students who speak English as a second language in Dayton, Ohio. Ever since my days in the public school system, English class was the one place where I felt free to be myself and fully embrace what I was being taught. My wonderful instructors showed me that writing especially was a gateway to self-expression, and whenever I tutor students for writing, I try to teach the subject with all the opportunities in the world for the student to write about themselves and give them a platform to express what really matters to them. It's that chance to inject themselves into their studies that allows a student to form deeper connections with the subject. In my spare time, I'm an avid reader, a long-time player of table-top Role Playing Games, and a bicyclist.

Q&A with Tyler

At its core, my teaching philosophy revolves around a simple idea: if you give your student(s) a little control over their learning, and put it into a context he/she/they can relate to, they will become more invested in their learning. I believe that many of today's students have a hard time in English class specifically because what they're asked to read and write about don't relate to them or their lived experiences. Whenever I see a chance to contour my lessons in a way that allows my students to express (and further develop) their opinions or express themselves somehow, I always take it, and it's been my experience that the students will work harder, contribute more, and will have an overall deeper understanding of the topic.
