I have three degrees in education - I earned my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education from Oglethorpe University, a masters in Instructional Technology from the University of Georgia, and a PhD in Instructional Technology from Utah State University. I have taught students from Kindergarten - Senior PhD students. I love teaching and helping you, or your student, to work through challenging material. Learning is hard, and in moments of frustration I will be not only a teacher, but also a cheerleader. I will work as hard as I need to to help you succeed. In my spare time I enjoy working on my home, gardening, kayaking, volunteering in my community, traveling abroad to visit family, and spending time with my friends and my cats.

No two clients are the same. My priority as a tutor is to get a sense of each person I'm working with as an individual; I focus on the client's specific strengths, learning styles, and areas desiring improvement, and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. It is in this way that I ensure that the client is heard, comfortable, and getting the most out of our sessions.With 1) ten years of writing experience at the college, graduate, and professional levels, and 2) a practiced background in teaching undergraduate university courses, I look forward to meeting all of your expectations of a superb tutor.A little more about me: In 2009, I earned my BA with honors at a Liberal Arts institution. Currently, I am a PhD Candidate working on my dissertation. When I am not writing in an academic capacity, I enjoy creating poetry and short stories, exploring and playing music, and, above all, helping students.I am excited to meet you, and to work with you to enhance your writing and academic abilities.

My name is John Britton Buttrill, and I am an educator working in a global context. I have worked as an English Literature teacher for the past five years and will spend this year traveling throughout France & West Africa. I hold two graduate degrees, an MFA in creative writing and an MA in English education. I believe that the study of English allows us to garner the communication skills, while gaining a larger understanding of how our lives fit in to a diverse world.

I taught 9th grade English at a Title-1 high-school, serving high-needs BIPOC students, where I took on leadership and teaching roles. I was a team leader for the 9th grade English department, created department wide unit plans for a variety of texts, and taught both honors-level and special-needs students. I was a member of our school's Equity Committee and co-creator of a mentorship group for male-identifying students of color.

Lastly, I had the highest student-attendance rate in our high-school.As a teacher of literature and literacy, I employ a Critical Pedagogy using the Socratic method. My practice is grounded in equity and social justice, and thus I challenge my students to interrogate the world around them. I believe that effective ELA instruction should be tailored to students' cultural contexts, while maintaining rigor and college preparedness. To achieve these goals, I strive for an authentic, relationship-based classroom culture.

Learning is easier and more fun when you are engaged with the topic and having meaningful conversations with an enthusiastic tutor. I put a premium on conversation between myself and the student because I believe that in this kind of environment the kind of learning that will out-last a session will flourish. I am an out-going person who would love to talk about your reading list and identify ways for you to present your ideas clearly and forcefully. I love to travel and bring many of the experiences I have had with other cultures to sessions to help students broaden their perspectives.
