Enthusiastic and Patient English/WritingTutor

I hold a Master's degree in English; my studies focused predominantly on Medieval English Literature and the Arthurian Legends. Creative writing was a much-loved concentration throughout my undergraduate and graduate work. A particular strength of mine is writing for academic needs or personal exploration.

Teaching is something that has arisen from my passions: whether it's English, martial arts, or piano, I truly enjoy trying to make the subject as interesting as possible for the student(s).

I also appreciate everyone's individualism and realize that not everyone learns the same way. This is a wonderful challenge for me to impart to the student what is relevant to him/her while simultaneously presenting it in the way the student best needs to in order to learn.

The majority of my teaching experience in recent years has been in martial arts; earlier years were in substitute teaching and in graduate school. My profession allows me daily opportunities to educate and teach in the medical field.

I look forward to hearing what you need to learn, and how I can best help you.

Piano

I took piano lessons for 9 years in my youth. I am a classically trained pianist; I didn't focus on jazz, improv, or music theory. I was the church pianist for four years (every Sunday morning, evening, and Wednesday evenings) and continue to play for enjoyment. I have taught my 4 children how to play the piano. I am currently studying violin.

Bible Studies

My proficiency with the Bible arises from both academic and personal interaction. I took Biblical Studies in college and have used the Bible as subject material throughout my education.

My personal experience is extensive: I grew up in a faith-based religious environment where Bible verse memorization and knowledge of the Old and New Testaments contents were expected. I have read the Bible in its entirety once (once is enough in a lifetime), but have re-read books multiple times. I... Read More

Martial Arts

I hold a black belt in Tatsu-do martial arts, which is a blend of karate, aiki-jitsu, and kobudo (weapons). I am testing for my 2nd degree black belt next month.

I am a martial arts instructor, and aside from general classes, I focus on children's, women's, and self- defense classes. I also routinely run self-defense demonstrations and teaching sessions at the requests of organizations.

Public Speaking

For 17 years, on a daily basis I have addressed medical providers in individual and group settings, presenting clinical data. I don't like to keep the subject content too dry, and therefore bring a personable approach when presenting information.

I also address mixed medical audiences with a variety of personalities, learning styles, and educational level.

The largest audience I've addressed was 500 people.
