I became an assistant preschool teacher after making a career change. I have previous experience as a published writer, document specialist, publishing specialist, copy editor, and proofreader. These previous positions required strong skills in reading, writing, and grammar. I enjoy combining my language and teaching skills by tutoring school aged children in Language Arts or English. I especially enjoy watching them learn and improve their skills and grades over time.

In addition to my listed subjects, I can provide other assistance. I can help your child with research papers on any subject. When I was in college, my research papers on all subjects were excellent. I can also provide guidance on good study habits. Does your child tend to procrastinate when given long-term assignments? I used to procrastinate but developed strategies to overcome it. I can share these strategies with your child.

I have a university degree and completed some graduate coursework. I have a B.A. degree in psychology from Hood College in Frederick, MD. I also took three years of graduate courses at the University of Florida in Mass Communications: journalism: reporting and editing. I got high marks on the GACE teacher certification exams for Basic Skills, Language Arts for middle grades, and English I and II.

Please see my latest blog posting for availability. I look forward to working with you and your child!

Vocabulary

To be a better reader, writer, and even listener requires having a sufficiently large vocabulary. Sometimes adults make the mistake of not using "big" words in front of children, fearing that they might not understand. However, using normal adult language, and occasionally stopping to explain what certain words mean, can greatly improve a child's vocabulary.

Another activity that improves vocabulary is reading. It's important to encourage your child to read as much as possible. By... Read More

Grammar

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

'Well, I'm a panda,' he says, at the door.
'Look it up.'

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda... Read More

Reading

Reading can refer to literacy or to reading comprehension. If you have a child who has trouble reading (a literacy problem), my approach would be to use phonics. Phonics helps children understand the sounds that letters make and how to put them together in order to decode words. The advantage to this is that new words are more easily learned and spelling tends to improve. Some critics argue that focusing on the basics can take the joy out of reading, but that can be prevented by combining phonics... Read More

Writing

The ability to write clearly is very important for academic success in nearly all subjects. Almost every profession involves writing of some kind. Even highly technical fields require written reports and instructions that other people must be able to understand. Fortunately, the ability to write well can be learned, and writing can be fun!

What I can provide for your child is the benefit of my experience as someone who has worked in the publishing field. I have written articles that... Read More

English

For many years, I have used English in my professional life as a published writer, document specialist, publishing specialist, copy editor, and proofreader. I can help your child improve his or her skills in English, including reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary, grammar and more. Part of the tutoring process will include making sure your child develops good habits that lead to success. This includes reading on a regular basis, as well as practicing good study habits. Be sure to read my... Read More

Proofreading

Proofreading is an important part of the writing process. How much better would your child's grade on each paper be without any points deducted for "little" mistakes? Points deducted for errors in grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation can really add up and affect your child's grade in most subjects. Viewed this way, those mistakes don't seem so little!

I have been a professional proofreader and copy editor. My job was to find mistakes other people made, but finding your... Read More

GED

If you did not finish high school, you'll want a GED, or General Equivalency Degree. The job market is still tough right now, and a GED will make it much easier to either get a job or get a better job. A tutor can help you prepare for the GED test so that you get a good score.

To get a GED in Georgia, you need to pass five different sections of the test. The entire test takes about seven hours, although you don't have to take all sections in one day. The sections on social studies,... Read More

SAT Reading

The reading portion of the SAT test has two parts: sentence completion and reading comprehension. Sentence completion tests the student's ability to choose the correct word. Prepartion for this part of the reading test would focus on broadening the student's vocabulary. In addition, just in case the student still discovers an unfamiliar word on the test, the use of root words and context clues can help.

The reading comprehension portion includes test questions on both short and long... Read More

SAT Writing

The SAT has changed to make the writing portion longer. Although this makes some students nervous, the ability to write well is very important for both academic and professional success. Even students going into highly technical fields need to be able to write reports and instructions that are clear to readers. The good news is that it is possible to improve one's writing skills.

What I can provide is the benefit of my experience as someone who has worked in the publishing field. I... Read More
