Poetry is one of my top subjects! I plan to be a english teacher in the coming years after completing my MAT and poetry will be at the fore front of my curriculum. Not only is it a powerful tool of personal visualization using techniques like alliteration to personification it is a powerful tool of expression. With a semi-confined space people often pack a good deal of emotion into each stanza and choose every word carefully.

Graduate of The University of Vermont in May of 2015 - Double Major Degree; English and Classical Civilizations. Before that I have taught poetry at a School for underprivileged in Freeport L.I. I am Applying to the Brown University Education program with a plan to graduate with my Masters of the Arts in Teaching. I want to be the teacher that opens the door of wonder that is the literary world.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I am an Ivy League English major undergrad and enjoy teaching.

Business executive looking to assist elementary and high school children with their studies. I am a voracious reader and a life-long learner. I like children, have had exposure to tutoring before, enjoyed it immensely, was very good at it (in the sense that the children enjoyed my friendly manner and enjoyed the learning experience) and would like to help children remedy deficiencies and perhaps even learn how to enjoy learning as much as I do.
Friendly, non-threatening, clear and accomplishment-oriented.

More About This Tutor...

Having had pursued a BA in English, not only did I focus on the course material within each class, but even more importantly, I managed to greatly enhance my understanding and knowledge of the English language and its grammatical effects. This has proven more helpful than anything else learned throughout my education, as the ability to accurately compose an idea is simply invaluable. Initially an English Education major for two years, I chose to shift solely towards language arts, though I still am delighted by children and love to interact with enthused students. I have two years of classroom observation activity, as well as several other experiences tutoring students from the ages of middle school all the way through the college level.
I have always enjoyed working with children and understanding their perceptions of the given subject matter. This often results in a personal, in- ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

One of the things I take pride in is my ability to adapt to the many different learning styles of students. I believe strongly in educating the whole child and making his or her learning relevant to increase interest and retention levels. I also believe firmly that as educators, it is our job to help students realize the importance of education and achieving one's personal best, whatever that may be.
