Writing is one of my top subjects! I have been teaching writing for 30 years at LaGuardia Community College, in NYC. I have helped many students from around the world to become fine writers of the English language. I have many of my own materials (free) to facilitate learning about the writing process. I am patient and understanding.

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

My goal is to meet your child's needs and help them succeed

I am a flexible tutor and am able to switch up my teaching styles based on the strengths, preferences, interests and needs (what I like to call their SPINs). I try to meet each individual student's needs using a variety of teaching strategies and techniques based on their learning style(s).
I have been tutoring individually for over 8 years for multiple families and children. I have been in child care as a nanny for the past 3 years. Before becoming a nanny I worked as a preschool teacher for about 2 years. My knowledge gained through my experiences in teaching and child care have given me useful tools to help meet the needs of my students and help them to be successful in school and in life.

Writing is one of my top subjects! Writing is my passion. I love telling stories, sharing my views and making people think about issues they normally wouldn't. My love for writing is what made me major in Communication-Journalism. I don't want to say I am an "expert" in writing because there's always MORE to achieve in writing, always more to discover about your personal writing style.

I have been writing since I was 10 years old. I have written for school papers, organized and contributed to yearbooks, performed and won oratorical writing contest. While in college I was nominated by my Creative Writing professor to become the Editor of the student literary magazine "Pegasus" at Delaware County Community College. Once I graduated from DCCC with my Associates in Communication, I transferred to Shippensburg University where I majored in Communication-Journalism and double minored in English and Women & Gender Studies. While at Ship I had a weekly column for the student newspaper, "The Slate," and I also was asked to contribute two articles for the 2009-2010 student yearbook, "The Cumberland Yearbook." During my time at Ship I also tutored a few college students, and edited research papers. While at Ship I also received the Betty Shabazz Leadership Award for my role as Pr ... read more
