My comments on tutoring Composition : I am a Cerftified High School English teacher.

I have a basic approach to tutoring and teaching students: - Identify what the student knows and still needs to learn to get where we need to bo. - Identify the strengths and weaknesses...and review the strengths and work at a rigoris pace to get where we know the child's skill level needs to be. - Celebrate the students successes to build thier confidence and increase their willingness to learn more and utlimately do better. _ Building a relationship with the student that we are partners in their education and we both will work to reach our set goals.

I started tutoring in 2009 through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. I tutor my "Little" for an hour once a week. I help with whatever subject they need. My specialty is Language Arts, but if you need help with basic math, I can do that too. I have observed many elementary, middle school, and high school classes. I know what works best, especially since I'm going to become a high school language arts teacher in a few years.
I'm patient. I'll try and make my lessons easy to understand. I know how frustrating language arts can be, but I also know how rewarding it can be as well. I can relate very easily to high school students, because I just graduated from high school 5 years ago.

While I am still a university student, I have spent many countless hours studying German. I have studied it in an American classroom and a German classroom. I lived in Germany for 15 months, studying and living the language. I really love the German language and culture, and I'm really interested in helping others to love it as much as I do! Hopefully, my passion for it will transmit onto others who are interested in Germany as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

While I have made a living as a technical writer in the software industry for sixteen years, part of making a life has been through my creative writing. I have written eighteen screenplays, three adult fiction manuscripts, three nonfiction manuscripts, two YA manuscripts, and now I hope to have found my niche as a middle grade novelist. I am repped by Joy Tutela of the David Black Agency who is trying to sell my first MG as I finish working on my second.
Pick out what's good and encourage that. It is too easy to focus on the negative. As a writer who understands rejection very well, it has humbled me. Another set of eyes always helps during the editing process. Sometimes a writer just needs to be set on the correct path, and they can do much of the rest from there. Being a parent has also taught me patience, which is something any teacher needs. Also, reading helps you become a bet ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects! I've written dozens of award-winning stories for various publications.

With a degree in English and 20 years in journalism, I have a thorough understanding of the principles required to read and write at a high level. I can teach a student how to write clearly, concisely and, if he/she has the desire, even compellingly. I can also help a student better comprehend what he/she reads and, moreover, appreciate and enjoy it.
Patient. Encouraging. Funny. I believe learning should be a joy, not a chore.

Have fun while learning!

- I am patient with the student and make sure that he/she knows and understand that I am here to help and to provide opportunities to him/her to use the available resources at his/her disposal. Example: how to use the internet efficiently. It is a powerful tool if you know how to use it. - I let the student define and explain clearly what is it that he/she does not understand. This encourages the student to organize his/her thinking process and help me (the tutor) identify problem areas. -I try to keep explanations simple, logical, clear and to the point. -I encourage students to email or call me with any questions or concerns prior to sessions.
-Worked with students in small groups of 3 to 4 to help develop their basic reading and writing skills. -Helped individual students prepare for exams like the SAT, ACT, and basic test preparation strategies. -Filled out evaluation ... read more

Every student, no matter race, religion, gender, age, social status, political leanings, or sexual preference, deserves equality in education. No conduct jeopardizing equality will be tolerated in a didactic or practicum setting. A successful classroom depends on the success of three relationships: the instructor must respect the student, the student must respect the instructor, and students must respect one another. Failure concerning any of these relationships results in failure in the classroom. The importance of the idea of primacy learning will be upheld in every teaching scenario. Students that are learning a new skill must be taught correctly the first time, as primacy in teaching is paramount to the student’s success. Student must know and clearly understand what is expected of them in a course for confidence and rapport to be attained in their relationship to the instructor. In ... read more

I love teaching and training along with working with children and adults. Everyone has the potential to excel in a particular area. Working as an substitute teacher gives me the opportunity to assist in the teaching and instruction of students and at the same time assist the classroom teacher. I have working one on one with students especially in the foreign language field of Spanish. Patience is a virtue especially when training young minds. A few extra hours in a day learning can make a huge difference later in life for children and adults.
As a Webster University graduate, I pursued advanced degrees (Master of Arts) in the fields of HR Management and HR Training and Development. I also attained a BS in Business Administration at Spalding University. I have used the Training and Development degree to a large extent. This comes with tutoring adults to young children in the ... read more
