I help writers to feel confident and able to make progress

I'm a writing tutor with more than two years of experience tutoring college-level writing of all sorts, mainly papers but also essays and applications. I've also attended various training workshops about academic writing and helping English-language learners. My tutoring skill-set is robust. In addition to my skills and experience, I also bring kindness and patience to the tutoring table. Writing is a process, so we must try and try again in order to proceed.

My comments on tutoring Grammar : Everyone has trouble figuring out where the comma goes sometimes.

I've taken courses in tutoring, grammar, Shakespeare, and writing composition, as well as worked in the University Writing Center at my university as a writing consultant. I currently tutor three Middle Eastern students in writing composition, conventions of English grammar, and health. I do freelance proofreading and editing.
Because English and literature is subjective, I use a nondirective approach to ensure that the student is exercising their creative problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. Basically, I ask them about their interpretation of the text or their own writing. With grammar, I typically model the correct use for the student two or three times, and then have them finish finding patterns and correcting mistakes themselves.

Earning an Elementary Education Degree from Central Washington University has prepared me to be the best teacher I can possibly be. After graduating in the middle of the school year I went straight into substitute teaching. This experience has impacted my teaching in a profound way.I was able to have extensive practice with many different elementary grade levels and different styles of learners in a relatively short amount of time. During the past year the experience I had while student teaching and while substitute teaching has given me a foundation to teach all areas of Elementary Education including reading, writing, math, social studies and science.
I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life other than teaching elementary children. I love helping children discover new concepts and seeing them accomplish things they never knew they were capable of. I am extremely patient, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with children. I love English. I love seeing the expression in the eye of a student who finally understands the concepts. I know what it is like to struggle and get frustrated. In Jr high I was tutored in English and math. Once I understood the concepts there was no stopping me. I would love to help your student the way someone helped me once. I am a patient, kind and loving mother. I believe English is the corner stone of education, and the key to future success. Many times a loving teacher, who takes the time necessary, is all a student needs to succeed.
As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class. I changed my major in college because I knew English was my calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Warner Pacific. I enjoyed my classes and did extremely ... read more

My teaching style is to help make student's successful by understanding their learning style. I have had the good fortune of working with myriad learning styles in a special needs environment, (in the home and classroom) which runs from autistic spectrum disorder to talented and gifted. Working with this huge array of kids has really opened my eyes to a variety of learning tools to ensure success. I am also very enthusiastic and children always find me to be relatable, despite where they are coming from in their academic process.
I began working in the school setting in February, 2002. Initially I worked as a teacher's aide in the special education (K-5) classroom environment. Shortly after, I began to tutor after-school hours for one of the special needs students. The "parent network" took off and soon I was tutoring five students per week. In 2004, I returned to school for ... read more

I believe it is important to get to know my students by discovering their likes and dislikes about reading and writing, what their interests are, and assessing their confidence levels. While there is no substitute for understanding the "rules" of composition, I believe that learning to enjoy the subject is priority one. By reducing the student's fears or concerns and making it fun, understanding and fluency will eventually follow. Adapting to the needs of the person and adjusting to his or her best learning style is also important. By teaching the skills of invention, in whatever mode best suits the individual, the student can become an independent learner and a self-starter.
After several years working as an administrator in the health care field, I decided to make a drastic career change and begin post-graduate study in English Literature, something I had always wanted to do. ... read more

Each student has different ways to learn. Some students require a more visual approach while ohers prefer repetion through listening and writing. I try to find the best way to help students learn and retain information. I believe that with the right help, every student has the potential to achieve academic success.
I have an extensive experience in the field of tutoring. For the past eight years, I have work with students from age kindergarten to highschool. From one-on-one tutoring, small groups, to helping a class of more than 60 students. Therefore, I can recognize each student's ability and devised a studying plan to help them improve their weaknesses. With a Bachelor degree in Biology and Chemistry, I have a strong background in science and mathematics. Furthermore, I have taken many courses in Writing, English, and grammar.

As an American kid who grew up outside of the US, I am a lifelong student of language and culture. Because of my studies in French and since I lived 14 years in France, I have near-native mastery of the language and understand the culture intimately. I have taught Middle School and High School level French for 5 years in an international school in Germany. I also have strong English skills, having earned a BA in English, which included classes to prepare me specifically to tutor students in English. I have helped students learn to write papers and essays for other classes when I worked as a classroom teacher.
I greatly enjoy helping students come to the “Aha” moments of understanding. Almost nothing gives me greater joy than seeing a student’s eyes light up as he or she makes connections between new and old information. I am very empathetic when a student feels blocked in his ... read more

I thoroughly enjoying working with children in an educational setting, especially seeing the gleam in their eyes when they actually "get it". I believe that all children learn differently,and it is up to us as teachers and tutors to be able to recognize which style of learning works best for each child. I also believe in learning through experience and a hands-on approach to education. Lastly, I like to remember that everyone is always in a constant state of learning, including me. If I don't also take away a fresh perspective from my interaction with a student, then I have not done my job to the best of my ability. My goal is to provide an enjoyable rewarding learning experience to every child.
