Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cleveland, OH

I believe that it is most important to use materials and topics that are relevant and interesting to my students.

I utilize techniques and tools in the education field as well as creating materials that fit each individual child. I am a licensed educator with tutoring and teaching experience. -I have worked with at-risk 11th and 12th graders in an Ohio high school teaching Language Arts, English, Grammar and Reading and Comprehension including classical and young adult literature and researcher paper/essay writing. - I have tutored several young adults for the Ohio Graduation Test in reading and writing as well as general test taking preparation. - I spent over two years tutoring elementary school students in reading and comprehension through AmericaReads.

To me, the most important thing is to be a good listener. I usually like to spend the first 5 to 10 minutes with a new student just chatting about their academic life and their study habits. That gives me a good sense of where they are, what areas they will likely be strong in and what areas where they will likely need further development. It also helps the student feel more comfortable. After earning a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in English at Oberlin Colege, I taught for a year as a substitute within the Cleveland Municipal School District. After that, I worked for two years as a tutor with the Tutoring Club in Westlake. I primarily assisted high school students with SAT and ACT prep courses. My specialties were writing and English. I've also worked with helping middle school and high school students develop effective study skills and coming up with a good strategies for tackling h

My teaching style is a “hands on” approach. I like to find out what the student already knows about the subject. I then like to fill in the missing links for the student in a fun, and interactive manner. I discuss any questions that the student has about the material after the initial information is given. I complete the process by going over examples and looking at work that they have completed in the past to show he student how to employ the skills that I taught during the lesson. As an English tutor for the Kent State Writing Commons for four years, I was able to work with a wide variety of students. I enjoyed working with everyone from new entering freshmen to doctoral students. I also worked people in different educational backgrounds and people who were culturally diverse. English as a Second Language (ESL) students were also apart of my daily tutoring regimen. I also have a backgr

Having received my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from San Diego State University, I have been very much interested and enthusiastic about working with students who have deficiencies in writing and reading. Since 2005, I have worked as a tutor of writing, reading and grammar as well as an instructor in the areas of literature and composition. I also have extensive experience working with students who have physical and learning disabilities. I love teaching and working with students. I feel that there is a way to educate and student, no mare how severe his/her problems, so long as I, the tutor, am willing to adjust my teaching style to his/her personality and/or learning problem. All struggling students can fulfill their educational goals so long as they are willing to put for the effort required and I as their tutor am there to guide them. Seeing this transition occur, fro

I am a firm believer in the dignity and potential of every child. It is my goal to make the educational experience tailored to a particular child's needs in order to address the specific learning style of the individual and to spark a real interest in the learning process. It is my belief that we can all make a difference one on one. As the mother of four children and manager of a staff of 20, I have had a significant amount of experience in teaching and training. Specifically, as the author of various US EPA approved papers, as well as extensive research opportunities, my grammatical and comprehensive skills are highly developed. I also completed 20 hours of post-graduate study in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. I have tutored students both in reading and writing English as well as working with volunteer groups dedicated to the understanding of the arts in general.

Communicating with others is such an essential part of the real world, and so many people do not understand how to use this skill correctly. I strive to teach others how to read better, write stronger, and gather their ideas to make convincing arguments. I believe that with the right knowledge, students can become better writers. I also think that my experience as a student, a tutor and a writer will make a difference to kids who haven't had the same opportunities. Coming from a Hungarian background, I have always been in tune to language and I have been influenced in many ways by my mother, a native of Hungary, and teachers throughout the years. I have had access to the best reading and writing education, leading me to feel a strong connection to the mechanics of speech and teaching others those principles.

My style of teaching is one based on the importance of engaging the student in learning. I like to present them with examples of good craft, be it writing or sleight of hand, and then helping them come to the conclusion that a given piece of work needs improvement on their own. Furthermore, I feel it is important to have them fully understand and internalize why the improved version is superior. A light approach, with lots of humor and gentle guidance, has served me well both as an entertainer and teacher. My passion for reading and the craft of writing drove me to pursue the study of English language and literature throughout my career at Yale and CWRU. As a graduate student at CWRU, I taught freshman English courses for a year. After graduation, I taught introductory English and composition for about a year at the community college level. Since then I have been an entertainer, an
