Hello, My first name is David--but I go by Mike, my middle name. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Morehead State University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I taught Upward Bound classes to high school students at Morehead State University, and I have worked as an instructor in the Adult Ed Department at Bluegrass Community and Technical College. My primary focus has been teaching English as a second language classes to students from other countries, but I also have a good grasp of math, economics, writing, and more general subjects, too. I have worked as a tutor at Morehead State, helping college students with various subjects, and I have assisted many students in writing papers, including their theses for master's degrees. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system.
I have found that with almost any subject, if the student will show me the part of the textbook that deals with the subject in question, I can quickly help the student to understand the material and master it. In most cases, when a student is struggling, it is due to an inability to grasp some concept, very often a simple one; I am good at looking at things in different ways and helping students find the way that works for their own learning style.
I have attended a number of colleges and universities and graduated Magna cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Morehead State University in 2004. In addition to business classes, I have taken humanities, creative writing, technical writing, plus classes in philosophy and the arts. I have taken over 20 semester hours of photography at the university level, and I am a professional photographer who has had numerous solo shows as well as entries in a large number of group shows, including many juried shows.
During my time as an instructor with Bluegrass Community and Technical College, I participated as one of 20 educators statewide in a year-long pilot program to study the effects of reading on students' langua
