Award-Winning Tutors from East Carolina University

While earning my bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature, I have had the opportunity to give students a number of tools to develop their literary craft, and I have helped students increase their reading comprehension by introducing them to a multitude of written works. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students, especially after teaching freshman English and working in the writing center as a graduate assistant at Middle Tennessee State University. My particular areas of expertise are assisting students with writing projects at any stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, researching, writing rough drafts, and editing. I also enjoy working with ESL students as they develop their conversational skills, reading comprehension, and writing. Furthermore, I assist with test preparation for both the GRE and the GMAT. Personally, I love all genres of literature, and I maintain a broad range of interests in composition, rhetoric, critical theory, the Renaissance, Romanticism, and Modernism.

I am a graduate of Lenoir Community College. I graduated as a student of the Early College with an Associates in Science in Teacher Prep. I've known I've wanted to teach since I was in Kindergarten. I absolutely love math and want to teach High School/Community College Math and tutoring is the first step! Math is fun when you know what you're doing and I want to help work towards a world where every student understands what they're doing.

I am passionate to help students of all types and situations, to be more successful in a challenging topic like chemistry to accomplish their aspirational goals. Too many students are not given a proper opportunity by not having an instructor who is interested in them and wants the best for them.I have a Bachelor's (BS) in Biochemistry, and a Masters' (M.S.) and Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Chemistry. I have been teaching and tutoring for almost 20 years as an undergraduate student, graduate student, and now a full-time chemistry instructor and have tutored and taught High School students, University-level students, Community College students, military, returning adult learners, you name it, I've probably have taught it.I most enjoy General, Organic, and Biochemistry topics. I teach in a "I do, We do, You do" philosophy where we work through a problem together and then you attempt it. Chemistry, as most math and science courses, is best learned by doing rather than watching and having a professor tell you instead of discussing it with you.

Learning about the world through language is a beautiful thing! Book me to begin your journey!

I am a graduate of East Carolina University, where I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with a Concentration in Statistics. I have tutored many subjects, including Biology, English, and accounting, but the bulk of my experience over the last six years has been tutoring middle school through college level mathematics and statistics. I have spent the last two years working on an M.S. degree in Statistics at The Ohio State University. At OSU I have taught undergraduate students through the leading of recitations, tutoring students in the statistics tutoring lab, as well as teaching a lecture section to over 200 students.In my many years of working with students in math and statistics, what I have learned is that everyone can be successful if they have the right teacher. Not everyone learns the same way, so it is important for a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in several different ways in order to find the method that works best for the student.I truly love helping others learn and grow. My favorite subjects are Statistics (of any level), Algebra I and II, Calculus I, Pre-Algebra, and Pre-Calculus, but I enjoy any opportunity to work with a student. Nothing is more satisfying than having a student who I've worked with tell me that they feel confident in their abilities. I hope to have the opportunity to help you gain confidence and subject mastery as well.

Working in the field of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is my passion. I began pursuing my EMT certification in 1995 and have since advanced to the paramedic level.

Currently, I serve as a full-time instructor in EMS, focusing on both continuing education and curriculum development. I have been tutoring students in EMS since the beginning of my career and have been an instructor for EMS programs for approximately 20 years. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Homeland Security and Emergency Management and recently earned a Master's degree in Public Administration from East Carolina University in 2022. Tutoring is an essential tool I use to support individuals interested in the EMS field. I am dedicated to advancing the profession of EMS and find it a great honor to help others achieve their EMT or higher-level certifications. In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf and traveling as much as possible.

Twentieth-century author Flannery O'Connor left behind two novels, thirty-two short stories, numerous essays, and one frequently-quoted observation: "I write so that I know what I'm thinking." In a similarly self-reflective spirit, I have come to believe that I teach so that I know what I have learned, and how I have learned it. During my first semester as a graduate student, my concentration within the English major was creative writing. In my second semester, I migrated to technical writing. My exposure to both disciplines has given me a great appreciation for all phases of the writing process, from the beautiful chaos of creation to the process of imposing order on what you have created: proofreading, header style definition, and everything else that makes a document look as though it had been as easy to write as it is to read. I've heard many students state plainly that they did not know how to write. I believe the first duty of a composition instructor is to prove two things to students: that they do know how to write, and that writing can be a rewarding means of self-expression, as opposed to the exercise in drudgery that students so often think it is. What I have found, in teaching both English and math, is that assignments should not simply be explained and repeated until the students catch on. Rather, the instructor should look for engaging illustrations of the concepts that underlie those assignments, so that they are easier to understand and more enjoyable to complete.

Even when I was a student, I knew I wanted to help others learn. I love to see students understand a new concept and to grasp new skills. I teach with compassion and patience, and with the belief every student is capable of improvement.

Hi! One of the amazing things about learning a new language is that it's a process. Students who tutor with me gain the confidence to embrace that process and progressively exceed their expectations. Learning a new language in the classroom can be a difficult task, but with the right guidance, students strive beyond what they believed was possible. By assessing their strengths and weaknesses, we are able to construct a plan together that will guide your student to success, no matter where they are in their language journey. Patience and repetition is the key to growth!
