Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brooklyn, NY

I like to teach students one on one. It helps with their focus and it gives them my 100% attention. I take my study skills and implement them when I teach the student. I am currently an afterschool tutor with The B.E.L.L. Foundation. (www.experiencebell.org) Professionally, I've been tutoring for about 2 months. I truly enjoy teaching and inspiring students to do better and BE better. I love what I do and hope I can make a difference in a child's life. It all starts with a thought and the teacher.

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry. I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I

Providing individuals with learning experiences that promote their cognitive, social and emotional development are aspects that relate expressly to the educational mission, as is the possibility to develop professionally as a teacher, whether through continuing education or the application of innovative strategies. I am fervently interested in teaching and learning; that is, educating students while continuing my own education. Enthusiasm and perseverance have allowed me to receive New York State Education Department Certification (NYSED) in Elementary Education and to graduate with a Master of Science in Education from St. John's University along with a Middle School Extension. At present, I am tutoring and continuing my studies in the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program and will begin a Doctoral sequence in Instructional Leadership, with an emphasis on Ex

I have tutored writing at Rutgers for the past three years. During my time as a writing tutor, I worked one-on-one with students on research and analytic papers. This entailed offering support with grammar and punctuation, organization and paper structure, and development of connections between assigned texts. I enjoyed my time as a tutor at Rutgers and always got along very well with the students I tutored. I think it is most effective to identify areas of weakness and work on fixing the underlying issues there before looking at work from a broader perspective. I also think it's important to have a comfortable relationship with the tutee and gear the sessions towards their goals and weaknesses.

My earliest teaching experience was with primary grade children (K-2) in an inner-city school district. I taught basic skills to incarcerated men in a NJ Correctional Facility.
