I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the

I believe in constructive criticism and positive reinforcement, steering students to find their own voice and style. I recommend simplicity in writing and the importance of making arguments in a clear, concise manner. For many students, writing is deeply personal, and I'll always respect their choices while guiding them to improve their presentation. In addition to working for many years as a writer and editor for newspapers, Harvard Law School, and as a freelancer, I have volunteered as a writing tutor and ESL classroom tutor. I have worked with students on a wide range of skills, from bolstering the English-language ability of students from other countries to helping advanced students craft sophisticated academic analysis and college essays.
