Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cherry Valley, NY

I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring students in creative writing and composition arenas. As lead teaching assistant for entry-level undergraduate Creative Writing courses at Oberlin College, I facilitated small group workshops, provided students with feedback on their writing, and wrote lesson plans designed to help each individual improve technically as a writer. I met weekly with individual students to provide stream-lined, individualized feedback. Last summer I worked in Harare, Zimbabwe as a teacher of Creative Writing. I lead workshops in poetry and prose. I have experience editing and teaching advanced topics in writing. I would love to work with you. I am a friendly, out going person who is very invested in my students work. I believe that to write well one must have a relationship with the content that matters to him or her. I enjoy learning about a person and taki

Patient and kind...I like to set specific goals but always encourage creative and imaginative ideas and ways of expression. I can be firm when needed but also like to bring a sense of humor into play, so to speak.

My teaching style is very structured and organized. I teach with the style that every child is unique and learns at their own style and pace. I do not believe in rushing learning nor that every skill, style, environment or learning setting works for every student. My teaching style also mirrors the idea that children learn through hands on, interactive, tactile, and motivating experiences, resources and materials. Most of all, my style of teaching is based upon tapping into each child's own interest or interests that academics can be related and taught through. over 5 years experience teaching, tutoring, mentoring and providing academics to children ages 2 through 12th grade. over 5 years experience working with, teaching, caring for and providing assistance to special needs children and adults experience working with students and adults of all abilities and disabilities including

I firmly believe that teaching and learning is inextricably tied to subjective factors, and that students learn best when the material is presented to them in a way that is both accessible and interesting. I believe that meaningful learning takes place when students are actively engaged in the material, through activities and experiences that immerse them directly in the concepts that they are expected to understand. I design learning experiences that are logical and meaningful to students, and encourage them to develop the self-regulation skills that will aid them far into their academic careers. I am trained in modern pedagogical techniques, and have experience applying these techniques with success. Through my own academic experience, I have a well-developed understanding of the skills and techniques necessary to achieve a high level of scholastic excellence. I am a trained educator,

I graduated magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College, where I received a BA degree in English and a minor in Creative Writing. I have also been the recipient of several prestigious English awards, for both academic and creative writing. The rigorous courses I took have honed my critical thinking, communication, and writing skills. I also worked as a faculty-nominated tutor in my college's writing center. In this position, I read and revised undergraduates’ work, talked with them about their writing skills, set them writing exercises to complete and provided feedback, and submitted succinct and prompt tutor reports. In addition, I provided dedicated writing mentorship to one freshman student and one senior thesis-writer each year. Through my years as a tutor, I have come to believe in the ability of each student to improve his or her writing skills. I have worked with students at many level

I believe all students can learn and that it is up to the educator to discover the students' learning styles and then meet their needs. Foremost learning should be fun and meaningful.I create a safe environment, where students are inviited to learn, and have experience with mixed ability levels. I teach to the top, and differentiate instruction with intervention strategies to accomplish these goals. Students in my classrooms are empowered to learn and set personal goals for achieving growth.I use a constructivist approach: reflection response journals, reciprocal teaching strategies, and varying assesments to measure growth.

Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's degree, I have been exposed to a wide variety of curriculum. I excel in teaching the required level of High School and College level mathematics and also have an aptitude for academic, technical, and narrative writing. I have tutored for the past year at the Center for Academic Support and Excellence at SUNY Cobleskill. We provide academic support to students with learning disabilities and emotional challenges, but it is also open to students just needing a little extra help. I try to highlight a students strengths and build solid study habits and work patterns. For instance, if a student has trouble focusing on his/her work, I try to push them for short periods of intense study, and then reward them with a break. Since my first degree was completed through an integrated, online program, I stress organizational skills. If I feel that a student
