My comments on tutoring Composition : I am very good at helping write papers.

I have for many years helped friends and family when they have needed help with history papers, literature and writing homework, etc. I would love to assist others to achieve success in school as well. I can help with research papers or just regular homework. I am a history buff and enjoy reading history in my spare time so I can offer insight into history homework as well.
I am very patient when it comes to my teaching style. I try to use techniques that are compatible with my student's learning style. I never get angry.

Im a wonderful person with an excellent need to be better.

I am a very smart individual and I am very helpful. I love to read and write. I am very creative with everything that I do. I am a motivator and a very hard worker. I struggled for the longest time in math but once I teamed up with a great tutor, everything went well. I have a passion to do well in school because I want to prove something to myself. I want to be the best person that I can be so I have to strive to get my education first.
I listen to the person to figure out what they need to build strength in. I help them make their weaknesses stronger by showing care and support.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Professional editor and former writing teacher

I have fifteen years of experience as a professional writer. I have published a children's book of poetry, written for literary magazines and had my work featured on NPR. I also have over a decade of experience as an editor for an educational publisher, which makes me well-qualified to review all types of written work.
I have done workshops for elementary school children and college students so I am comfortable with students of all ages.

Finding Your Inner Writer Effortlessly: Starts Here.

I am direct. I like to help the student find what is inside of them and write it. I am compassionate and challenging. There is an inner writer in all of us and I like to guide and help the student discover their true abilitiy effortlessly.
I began my college journey as an English major. I decided to switch to Elementary Education to be able to reach future writers before they lost the love for it. I have worked with all ages from toddlers to seniors in high school. I have been published in world wide devotional for women along with a world wide magazine. I have taught writing in schools to children who were struggling as well. Writing is who I am. My passion has been there since I first learned how to write in Kindergarten.

My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.
I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.

Being a psychology minor, I have learned in depth the importance of teaching to multiple intelligences. I know that some students respond to lecture while others can only respond to more hands-on activities. Incorporating a variety of teaching methods, along with relevant materials is the best way to engage students of a wide range of skills. In addition to finding the perfect teaching style for your child, I am patient, compassionate, and easy going. I am extremely enthusiastic about learning in general. I am here to help your child with whatever he or she is struggling with but also to show them that learning is a lifelong process.
As a graduate from Illinois State University, I completed 100+ clinical hours of observing, tutoring, and teaching lessons in the classroom. I have worked with students from ages 3-18, giving myself a wide variety of experiences. I student taught in a ... read more

My recent training through the nationally ranked Illinois State University English Education Program required me to work with a wide range of learners (from advanced placement students to those with learning disabilities). Therefore, my ability to differentiate instruction has certainly been polished. Prior to this training, I completed a teaching internship in which I assisted, tutored, and created lessons for young learners. Most recently I have gone through a literacy tutor training program, which provided me with extensive knowledge on how to better help students succeed in reading, writing, and math. Such preparation has allowed me to become even more enthusiastic about passing on to others my passion for academic success.
I would describe my teaching style as innovative, flexible, and passionate. After observing and working with countless students, I have realized that every ... read more

As a very creative person myself, I strive to bring that creativity to my teaching. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present a lesson to my students. I believe students should be fully engaged in what they are learning as often as possible, and not just passively listening to a lecture. I bring an energetic approach to teaching that is often filled with humor, though I am never condescending to a student. I always look at each student as an individual and try to discover the best way of teaching that person.
The majority of my tutoring experience took place at Northern Illinois University from 2007 to 2008. There I worked in the NIU Writers’ Workshop, tutoring freshman students with assignments from their English classes. I worked with the same students each week (usually one or two at a time for 50 minutes) on both personal narratives and research papers. Since thi ... read more
