Critical thinking, perceptive reading, clear writing

As Academic Advisor at Hunter College, I provided one-on-one tutoring focused on thesis development, essay writing, and critical reading. I am attuned to the craft of writing, particularly helping writers distill ideas and compose how those ideas can best be expressed. Subject-wise, I have received degrees studying history and international relations from elite liberal arts schools. I have also worked as a radio and print journalist. In short, I am well versed in reading comprehension, formal analysis, research, and writing - most strongly in the field of social sciences and humanities.
I prefer one-on-one sessions so I can be attentive to particular needs of the student, especially when it comes to reading and writing. I work collaboratively in the sense that I like to observe how a student best engages with the material and encourage that method for best results. I am both proces ... read more

Lifelong learner wants to help!

Hello All, I am currently a 3rd grade teacher in a ICT classroom in Brooklyn,NY. I truly enjoy educating children and helping them develop a greater understanding of different concepts. I am into my 4th year of teaching. I am highly dedicated and motivated teacher who is willingly to go above and beyond to help children succeed.
Patience is a true virtue! When teaching children, patience has to be presence. I have learned through my experience, a calm environment with a patience and observant teacher who is willing to try to understand how the child learns, goes a long way because all children are not the same; therefore, they do not learn in the same manner.

Environmental Journalist to help with reading and writing

I like to help people learn about English by exploring their interests. For example, if you are a fan of economics we can read The Economist and discuss world politics. If you prefer to talk about animals we can create an entire English lesson plan around that. I can also help with creative writing and essay writing
I am an environmental reporter based in New York. My articles have appeared in New Scientist, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Popular Science, OnEarth Magazine and Smart Planet. I was also a copy editor with a large publishing house for two years where I used my spelling and grammar skills to fact check and proof read manuscripts. I love to travel and learn about people and the world and spent two years living in Paris, France where I was an English tutor to French children and adults. I also co-host a podcast about fairy tales called Tabled Fables. Each month ... read more

My comments on tutoring Literature : I have taught American Literature, World Literature, and Introduction to Literature courses for high school seniors (AP Lit) and college freshmen/sophomores.

I have over ten years of experience writing and editing creative and argumentative work. During and after graduate school, I taught composition, creative writing, American and world literature at liberal arts colleges and junior college throughout the south. When I moved to New York, I continued to write and edit, working with numerous authors in librarianship, international studies, and argumentation theory. I am most qualified to assist motivated high school and college students in any area of writing composition and introductory literature.
I have a laid-back, respectful attitude toward students, with my primary interest being their successful understanding of the subject area. As well as being a valuable tool in the workplace, writing is fun and rewarding; I want students to see the benefits of writing without feeling burdened.

Learning Can be Easy and Fun!

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor.
For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B.

More About This Tutor...

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.
I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosop ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching and tutoring writing in almost every genre -- from the creative prose to business correspondence and memoranda -- since 1998. I started out tutoring students in anthropology at Hunter College and then landed a teaching position at a business school where I taught business English. In 2007 I enrolled in an MFA program at The City College and a year later began teaching freshman composition courses to engineering majors. I have references available from instructors and supervisors as diverse as the former dean of Hebrew Studies at CCNY to the supervisor of the SEEK Department's PAL Center.
I do not have a teaching style as this implies that I or anyone can really teach another how to write. Writing is not taught in a way that science can be taught or grammar can be taught. Writing (and learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary lists are not learning how to write ... read more

Throughout my years of teaching, I have witnessed and helped assist in new and exciting educational program implementation in day-cares and school systems. With my real world and in class learning I have realized the importance children’s primary academic instruction plays in their growth and development. I find it fortunate that I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level, and those who were exceptional. These opportunities have helped build my classroom management abilities and communication skills. My philosophy of education has been centered on differentiated instruction and the importance of individual learning styles and effective evaluative measurements. From March 1st, 2010 till June 30th, 2011 I have had the opportunity to be both a full time grade one and grade four teache ... read more
