Experience

I teach mainly university level material but also help people who want to improve their writing, reading, and thinking. In a one to one or group environment, I get to know students personally and academically to better understand how they learn. I can gauge what teaching approach to use and keep an open and friendly learning environment where students feel respected, engaged, and heard. I can spark their interest in many ways and ensure students complete assignments.Also, I retrace steps to understanding so the student can approach future difficulties the same way. As an educator, I also help students realize the problems with their work so they have the right tools to build their skill set for the future. Many people don't learn how to read and write well, but I help develop reading, comprehension, and memorization skills and how to properly write, edit, and revise essays. I've helped students challenged in English eventually enjoy it.I attended the University of Southern Indiana, where I earned my B.A. in English, and the University of Pittsburgh where I completed an M.F.A. in Poetry, and master's certificates in Composition, Literacy, etc. and Women's Studies. Reading, cooking, and writing are favorite hobbies.
