Experience

I am a tutor with extensive experience studying and teaching English and history. I have a master's degree in music from Houghton College. I also have a second master's degree in library science from the University of Missouri. During my time in college, I was able to gain experience tutoring both my fellow classmates and high school students in diction, writing, and reading. I am comfortable tutoring students in a variety of subjects, including reading, writing, literature, grammar and mechanics, American history, European history, English, United States government and politics, social studies, voice, music, and technology and computer science. I am also able to help students prepare for standardized tests. While I can tutor students in many different subjects, I prefer to teach writing. I enjoy teaching writing because it is something that incorporates all of the other English skills. My philosophy as a tutor emphasizes focusing on small goals because they allow students to gain confidence as they progress. Goals need to be more concise because when they are too broad in scope, they can seem overwhelming. This may cause the student to lose their confidence. In my free time, I like to garden, spend time with my dogs, listen to music, read, and participate in cosplay.
