Composition is one of my top subjects! I have taught composition on the college level for over 20 years.

My instructional experience includes over 230 credit hours of composition and language arts instruction, including creative writing, literary analysis and Shakespeare. However, most of the instruction has been focused on composition. I developed a bachelor level English course for Pearson Education, working as a writer on a team of three; the course was deployed nationally at over 100 campuses.
Interactive! Students need to apply what they have learned, to reinforce the learning cycle.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Writing, along with art, is my strongest skill. I know how to write the perfect paper. It is a simple formula, and a clever approach.

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities.
I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

Hardworking, Efficient, and Productive Tutor

Strategic and fun
I'm a young student who enjoys teaching. It's the responsibility of the teacher, to cause the subject to come alive for each student, and that is what I love to do. Only through that, can the student fully grasp what the teacher is offering to them. Both the teacher and student or students can greatly benefit from each other, when things are done in the right fashion. The teacher perfects his or her skills and the student also gains whatever it is that he or she wants to learn.

Creative, Outgoing, Compassionate, New English Teacher

I firmly believe that the most vital ingredient for student success is passion. I am aware that most students do not walk into a classroom with this; which is why it is my objective to spark an appetite for the written word by focusing on the practice of reading and writing for the real world. Students must realize the purpose and real-life application of content objectives to construct their own meaning and develop autonomy. Through my studies and student teaching experience, I feel this is best achieved through a combination of fervor for the material, conferencing, reader and writers’ workshop, inquiry-guided instruction, critical literacy skills and a collaborative environment. As an instructor, it is my greatest goal to facilitate student learning in the most effective means possible. It is my opinion that a nurturing environment, apprenticeship and accessibility of content ar ... read more

QUALIFIED TEACHER & EXPERIENCED TUTOR CELL: 5713159833

I have been tutoring for nearly two decades; having lived and taught both in the U. S. and abroad. I am a highly qualified teacher in Elementary & Middle School & also in Special Education. I have had all successful experiences working one to one to teach, review, and reinforce skills in all subject areas in K.G. to 7th grade. I am patient and kind and can keep a student focused for each lesson by breaking down concepts using time frames to maintain attention.
I not only help my students understand the subjects in which they are being tutored, but I also teach them important study skills and help them build confidence in their own abilities. One is never too young or old to enjoy the benefits from tutoring, and it is often a question of just a few months or even weeks before students are back on track.

Recent graduate focused in English and Lit.

I am 23 year old recent graduate from George Mason University. I have a major in English Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing, and a minor in Secondary Education. During my Senior year I taught full time at Edgar Allen Poe Middle School as one of two teachers in an English classroom. I have tutored elementary students in reading and writing during a nanny job. I attended Langley High School, and performed strongly in all of my English coursework.
I believe in allowing the student to work most of the problems out for themselves. While explaining the rules of a particular word problem or paper topic is important, the student will only learn if he or she is able to come to the right conclusion through dedicating the time and effort into the project that they are working on. I also believe that every student is capable of creating something unique to his or her own style ... read more
