Writing is hard. For everyone. But it can be easier.

As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for the school newspaper. I also did a lot of moonlighting outside of the writing center as a personal tutor for undergrads, high school, and elementary students, all with various experience in English as a language. I have produced over a thousand pages of academic writing during my time at school concerning a wide variety of subjects, which is a reflection of the broad English curriculum for the University at Albany and my minor of sociology. As an employee for the writing center I worked with students in such areas as the pre-writing stage, study habits, reading comprehension, properly citing work, grammar, letters of intent, creative writing, theses, and general academic writing. A good percentage of students I worked with who were serious ab ... read more

"A writer is a reader moved to emulation." - Saul Bellow

I've never really tutored before outside of helping my classmates, but even still I excel when it comes to teaching others tactics for reading and writing. I am extremely patient and studious when it comes to helping others learn, especially children. I graduated a year earlier than I should have due to skipping a grade because of my reading and writing skills. I took two years of AP English (Rhetoric and Literature) in high school and scored a 4 (out of a maximum score of 5) on my AP exam. I also scored around a 1700 on my SAT, mainly excelling in the Reading and Writing portion.

A Little Bit About Me...

When I teach I want to engage the student or students. I want to grab their interest and keep it. This requires two main things of the teacher: he must know the subject well and he must have enthusiasm for the subject. This almost ensures that the student will enjoy being taught. I like an informal style, especially as classes get smaller.

While in law practice I made a constant effort to stay connected to people--not just to work at a desk all day.

I am a very hands on teacher and my preferred method is to have the student read their work aloud while I follow along and edit. It's remarkable how much they begin to catch on their own. This is followed through with my own take on their work, pointing out the errors they missed and suggesting improvements, always in an encouraging manner.
I have over three years of professional writing experience. After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with my degree in Creative Writing I went on to serve as the President of the Houston Writers Guild for a full year and now serve on the Board of Directors at the Gulf Coast Federation of Writers. I have performed Freelance Editing since my graduation and led numerous Critique Circles for each organization I’ve worked with, learning to balance criticism with encouragement for optimal improvement.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I enjoy the analysis of poetry and literature have assisted a number of students with this type of assignment. I also enjoy writing poetry and regularly practice that craft.

I have worked with children, teens and adults in a variety of capacities over the course of many years providing many personal care and personalized tutoring services. I have an interest in languages and lived abroad as a child and young adult, an experience that continues to inform my view of the interesting and diverse perspectives I have encountered among those in my circle. It has contributed to a passion for advocacy and a desire to build community that is meaningful, sustainable and equitable. My passion for research and for solving problems of all kinds has enabled me to work in more settings and in more varied capacities than might otherwise be the case and I believe that learning, so far from being a task that exists in isolation, is actually the process of challenging and changing the self, hopefully for the better.
I am a warm, compassionate and supportive tutor who h ... read more

Let me Guide Your Child

I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.
Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure. I already knew I liked them because I started babysitting when I was 11 and couldn't stop! Then in ninth grade, a neighbor failed kindergarten and asked if I would starting coming over several days a week to help him understand what was being taught. Needless to say, he made it to the first grade! I now have a 17 year old sister who is constantly asking for my assistance in her homework and it is with great pleasure that I assist her.
I have a background in Psychology, so I am extremely intuitive with what a person needs regarding their learning style. I am able to adapt my teaching style to their needs ... read more
