My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : This is one of my top skills.

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Well versed in the five step writing process.

California public school teacher for 19 years, and private school teacher for 4 years. Have lived in Bay area since 1994. Trained in common core and collaboration techniques, including "close reading". Was private tutor in mid 1990's while teaching at a Christian school. Sometimes a small group setting hinders, rather than helps a child's success at school. Open to one on one or group setting, depending on the needs of the child.
