Creative Writing is one of my top subjects!

During my four years at Binghamton University, I’ve taken many opportunities as a graphic designer. I’ve had a lot of experience using programs such as InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. In my four years I’ve learned the importance of typography and strong typographic layout skills. I’ve helped several campus clubs in designing posters for events, meetings, and advertising for spring fling activities. I’ve also worked with the local chapter of the Sierra Club and designed shirts and brochures for one of their campaigns. In the classroom I learned how to work with Adobe’s Creative Suite. My assigned projects included a wide range of work including: brochures, logos for community businesses, advertisement campaigns, posters, and business identity manuals. My experience in the field has taught me good time management skills, communication skills and the importance of teamwork.

More About This Tutor...

I am patient and encouraging. I have a talent for identifying how people learn. It is important to know what works with people in order to dail into the proper approach. Some people can read and immediately understand. Others need the repetition of hands-on experience. Some need memory tricks like "Mickey Mouse" for spelling "accoMModate" or "seize the weird sheik at your Leisure" for remembering exceptions to the "i-before-e" rule. On writing, I have had reporters mired in a fact-filled story actually write single sentences, each containing one fact. Then, I've had them order the facts. I am patient in helping people organize thoughts. I help people collect and organize information and to present it

More About This Tutor...

I am very passionate and knowledgeable about the field of English. In my opinion, writing well and reading critically comprise the foundation of educational success. Both my BA and MA degrees are in English. I also hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Education with a specialization in College Teaching. This certificate provided me with both knowledge about the best methods for educating college students and practice utilizing these methods as a Teaching Assistant. Beyond formal schooling, I was employed as a high school Language Arts Intern and worked as a college English Intern who provided help and instruction regarding writing skills. Currently, I am a certified Adult Literacy Tutor; I tutor my student weekly.
My teaching style has two main tenets. First, I believe that students should be the focus of instruction. I facilitate learning best when I discover how students p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a "late in life" graduate of Fordham University, I received permanent Teaching Certification and continued to teach in a public school district for 5 years. I was then offered an amazing opportunity to bring a non-profit pre-school and daycare back to fruition which I accomplished in under a year. Having left the pre-school after an ownership change, I have found myself desiring to go back to my real passion - teaching. I also have over 20 years of Business and marketing experience working as a Communications and marketing Director in Mid-town Manhattan.
I am an energetic, enthusiastic teacher who loves to teach children and adults of all ages. I enjoy challenging my students with fun projects and activities that get creative juices flowing and make learning fun!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have recently graduated from Purchase College with an Undergraduate degree in Music with a minor in English. During School I tutored students in English composition and edited students essays and papers during the entirety of my undergraduate education. I have also taught voice and music theory to students privately. In High-school I scored a 97 percent out of 100 on the English regents exam. I recently received a full scholarship to complete my masters at the University of Maryland.
I will fit my teaching to the client. If a student learns with visuals, I will use visuals. If a student is an aural learner, I will cater to that side. I am very flexible and take direction very well. I have taken a year or more of each language I am qualified to tutor. The languages are Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. I also lived in Italy for a couple of months, in the Northe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for teaching people things that I love to do. I love to write, to analyze literature, and to solve problems. I bring energy and patience to the learning experience, and I am able to explain concepts in more than one way. All people, children and adults, learn in unique ways. The best thing I can do for people that I tutor will be to help them understand the ways that they learn. When people understand themselves better, they can learn more efficiently in the future without the help of a tutor! My goal is for all the people I teach to learn on their own and to one day be able to teach others.
I completed my bachelor degree in English in three and a half years at Bucknell University, and this has trained me in writing, literary analysis, and oral communication. While at Bucknell, I spent four months tutoring children at a local elementary school in grades 3-5 in mat ... read more

My most recent experience was as apreschool teacher. Despite the fact that the children were all the same age, whatever developmental or cognitive delays a child might have, is not being addressed, therefore making the teaching environment, very stressful. Prior to the preschool classes, I taught as a substitute in the school district where I attended college. To this day, I am involved in my newphews schoolwork, and help him to write book reports and research papers. That is my specialty area. I have scored perfectly in the grammar section of my college writing exam and also have experience editing works for private papers.
It is very important to let children know that there is no wrong or right way of doing their work, as long as it is done correctly. They also need to know that their methods are their own. Children needs reassurance. When A childs' work is not done to ... read more
