More About This Tutor...

I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

Today is a great day to learn something new!

I am a full-time high school teacher with over 12 years of experience in education. I specialize in Science, but have experience teaching and tutoring most levels and subjects. Throughout my 12 years in public education I have developed many skills to accommodate various student needs. I have a love for learning and inspiring my students to be life-long learners by making content meaningful. Teaching and learning is successful when students not only "know content" but are able to create connections and demonstrate real-world applications.
I foster development of the whole student by encouraging critical thinking. My methods are adjusted to meet the students needs with an individualized approach. My goal is to promote self learning and help students develop necessary critical thinking skills.

Happy to help you excel am patient and diligent

I tutored in my last semester of college at Westfield State University. I have taken 122 credits in psychology. My psychology G.P.A. average is 3.74 and my overall average is 3.551. I have helped students excel at college-level classes where some students were failing. I am part of the international honor society in psychology. I love helping other people. Although I only have a bachelor's degree, I have helped many students at college excel at their classes and achieve A's when they were struggling.
I usually allow the person to come to me with questions and ask me what they are struggling on and help them from their or review the basic concepts and say them out loud to the person I am tutoring. I help students go through their books and synthesize material and help students write papers and come up with proper conclusions and introductions to his or her paper.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I have over four years of experience helping students to learn critical reading skills that will enable them to better comprehend and retain what they are reading.

I provide resources for the students I work with to give them the tools they need to become independent learners. I encourage discussion and asking questions to open new avenues of thinking and to develop clear, organized writing. Education is only education when students participate and create!
I have been tutoring at the community college level for over four years helping students improve their college writing and critical thinking skills. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds including ESL students and remedial students. I tutor writing in a several disciplines including English courses,anthropology, social sciences, and biological sciences. Research papers, essays, and college admission essays are my specialities.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Wilson Reading Program - Level I Certified

Hello parents and potential students. My name is Wendy. I am a Certified Wilson Reading Program Instructor and mom of two wonderful elementary aged students. I began my journey into the Wilson Program with a desire and dedication to help my oldest child, who is dyslexic, with his academic struggles, specifically with reading and spelling. Fascinated by the process (a very systematic and specifically structured program) and excited by my son's progress, I decided to work toward becoming Wilson Certified and tutoring other children who need help with reading. I believe that all children can learn to read and with patience, practice, and even some fun I can help them reach their full potential. The progressive successes they will achieve with this program will build their self-confidence and self-esteem; I look forward to watching that happen for them! I can provide a letter of recom ... read more

Individualized instruction

I taught for seven years in public education. My experience spans from grades 5-8. In that time, I worked with a diverse population with varying needs. My classroom was inclusionary which required modification of instruction, and learning about a variety of learning disabilities. Many of my students were ESL, as well.
Brain based instruction focusing on individual learning styles.

More About This Tutor...

My style of teaching really depends on the student and his/her learning style. Different students learn in different ways. I believe it is my responsibility to find which style works best for the student(s).
First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the pas ... read more

College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I prefer to work one-on-one with the student whose work I am editing. That way, I am able to explain my revisions and help them understand my reasoning behind making certain edits. I'm not, by any means, a hard-nosed individual, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure that the student learns something.
Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an acco ... read more
