Shannon W.
Private tutor in Center Line, MI
Education
I have earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Oakland University - 3.7 Cum Laude. Major: English | Minor: Teaching English as a Second Language Certified in Secondary Education
Experience
I am an English teacher with experience in raising reading comprehension skills, correct grammar usage, and writing fluency. I teach using a gradual release approach - I demonstrate the topic, we practice it together, and then you get to practice it on your own. I love answering questions and working with others to help them better understand topics. I am constantly researching best practices and ways to further subject understanding. I am very familiar with assessments, standardized tests (such as ACT and SAT), and other forms of assessment. I studied English (reading and writing) and teaching for 5 years in college. My resume and any relevant information can be found on my E-portfolio here: www.shannonwaite.weebly.com I am also a published writer and have published books with my students as well. I'm always looking to make learning authentic. If you're interested in working with someone who's engaging, passionate, and understanding of teaching methods, I'm your tutor!
