Tutor with experience
Compassion and patience are two components that need to be integrated into any teacher’s repertoire. Having both and the professional and educational proficiency to accompany them, I hope to exercise my tutoring abilities for hopeful college attendees. I graduated in 2013 from the University of Michigan from their selective Creative Writing Program (14 selected annually). While completing my degree, I assisted fellow students with proofreading, editing and essay formulation. I also tutore... Read more
Scott
Reading, Writing, Public Speaking
I have a PhD in behavioral psychology and spent several years training students to work in educational settings. Behavioral psychology is the study of learning and how our environment and interactions with others influences our approach. I spent years as a professor working with students using techniques based on these principles and designing activities and lessons to train people in their use. As such, the lessons I design involve lots of practice and lots of feedback. To teach reading ... Read more

Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads (Doc Brown)
I have been a college instructor for five years. I've mainly taught introductory college composition courses; however, I have a strong background in literature. I like to think of my teaching philosophy as a mixture between the Socratic Method and avant-garde theater. I say this because I like to continually question the students until they arrive at the answer I am looking for, rather than directly tell them the answer I’m looking for. At the same time, I like to make analogies through cu... Read more
