Education
I have a Master's Degree in Teaching and Curriculum from Michigan State University and a double-major in English and Spanish from Western Michigan University. I have also accumulated 30 additional hours of graduate credit and attended several workshops, particularly writing conferences. I have attended the University of Iowa writing conference twice and am currently at work on a manuscript in which an editor is interested. I specialize in language, writing, linguistics, culture,essay editing, literature and mostly developing an appreciation and passion for life-long learning.
Experience
I tutor adults as well as students. I am currently helping a professor from Switzerland prepare his book for publication. English writing is my specialty, not just the mechanics, but ensuring that the meaning, especially for people for whom English is a second language, comes through with clarity and that nothing is lost in translation. I edit manuscripts, teach ESOL and Spanish. I taught high school for 30 years, and although I do miss it, I have found that being able to work one-on-one with individuals is extremely rewarding. For younger students I develop individualized learning plans which include Howard Gardner's "Multiple Intelligences" and incorporate emotional intelligence as well to create an holistic learning experience; this includes real-world connections, personal experiences and perspectives which are key to an organic learning experience. I also believe that the natural personal relationship that develops between the tutor, the client, and the parents (if applicable) enhances the experience; the atmosphere of trust creates a tone in which students feel comfortable and inspired.
