I'm a recent college graduate with two Bachelors degrees from Salem State University: one in English/Writing and one in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Applied Social Ethics. In college, I have won two essay writing contests within the philosophy department, and placed third in a university creative writing competition. I recently completed an internship that used innovative techniques to teach grammar skills to college freshman. I have presented at two undergraduate philosophy conferences, in Salem, MA and in Forest Grove, Oregon. I have experience teaching large groups and one-on-one students, curriculum planning, editing, and private tutoring. I'm also currently writing an article upon request from the Salem News newspaper on this internship program. In addition to teaching and writing experience, I also served as president of the university's philosophy club and a number of ... read more

College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an accomplishment I am attempting to achieve by transferring credits over from The Community College of Rhode Island. While attending UNH, I wrote for the school's newspaper, The New Hampshire, edited my fellow writer's work, and eventually went on to intern and temporarily work for our local Valley Breeze.
While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I p ... read more

With a little work, you will get there!

Being an undergraduate at WPI and haven taken several Advanced Placement classes in areas outside of math and science, I consider myself a very well rounded student. I was also strongly considered for a MASH program here at the University, or "Math and Science Help", as a Section Leader/Tutor. Going through a lower-middle class urban high school, I was known as that "smart kid" and would often led study groups outside of class to prepare for tests.
I have struggled with the areas I am not proficient in, so I understand what it is to be frustrated and confused. My teaching style is presenting various approaches to the same idea, in hopes that at least one will click, and better yet, each approach with solidify an idea or concept that much more.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have just completed a Master's Program in the Arts of Teaching at Sacred Heart University. I completed 10 weeks of student teaching where I took on all the responsibilities of a full time 7th grade English teacher. Throughout all of high school and college I worked with children ages 3-15 and taught them how to swim in a Massachusetts accredited program in my hometown. Here, I was responsible for creating lessons and implementing them everyday in a 2-month summer program. In college, I was a Staff Editor and writer for our Newspaper. Here, I ran an entire section and was responsible for working with my wroters and tecahing them how to write an effective Perspectives article. I also had my own article entitled, "Amy Says."
I am an excited, passionate, and creative teacher who focuses on unique ways of displaying information. I like to teach content thoroughly but also with a hi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

My teaching style is organically structured, with an emphasis on scaffolding prior knowledge to new concepts. Being sensitive to the diversity of learners, I customize my teaching style to fit each individual’s specific needs. I have high expectations for my students, however, I base my expectations on their ability levels; levels that I am constantly monitoring in order to determine whether I need to ramp up the level of instruction or make accommodations until the theory at hand is fully grasped. Not only do I emphasize the curriculum at hand, I also teach the student that proper organization and study skills can have significant impact on their overall academic success.

If I were to describe my teaching style in three words I would say firm, energetic, and enthusiastic. I have a fun loving personality and have an easy time connecting with children and making them smile. JFK once said, “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” and I feel this is absolutely true. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and should never stop asking questions. I am always refining my craft by discovering new techniques and methods of teaching. I believe teachers are truly life long learners and it is of the utmost importance to never stop reaching for the next wonderful idea. I would be honored to help your child grow and reach his/her potential.
I have had a wide variety of experiences with youths of all ages. I have volunteered my time reading to preschool students, coordinated and implemented an after scho ... read more

My experiences during and after college have been crucial to realizing my skill and joy in tutoring and teaching. I was fortunate enough to attend a small, liberal arts college which allowed me to constantly experience small group learning environments. In addition, my first work experience out of college was an in intensive tutoring job in Boston, MA. I was placed with 5 students in the seventh grade and tutored full time in a middle school. We worked extensively on reading and writing skills. Currently I am a US history teacher in Arizona, but I am in CT for the summers.
I am a younger teacher, and it is important to me to do two things that a lot of instructors sometimes feel are mutually exclusive; develop a personal bond with my students and maintain a set of expectations for academic achievement. I am a witty, empathetic, and goofy person in my private life, and letting ... read more

As a graduate student at the University of Florida, I learned various teaching skills to facilitate learning for diverse students with varying needs. During my in-school teaching assignments, I gained valuable experience planning and delivering lessons in classroom environments. And as an experienced tutor, I’ve individualized instruction in order to address areas of weakness and meet the specific needs of students. I have significant experience tutoring students in English literature and composition, and I love working with English language learners to improve their English language proficiency.
I love working with learners of all ages, and I try to plan my tutoring sessions in order to make them fun and productive for students. When planning lessons, I try to create engaging tasks that are both relevant and interesting to the student. I realize that a degree of flexibility is nee ... read more

I have degrees that require me to do a lot of reading and writing. My career has been composed of teaching, reading and writing, as well as literature, at the Universities of Vermont and Connecticut. The teaching included freshman through graduate students - all levels of writing, in short. Much of it took place during individual conferences.
So my teaching styles are varried. As a tutor, one on one, we would be engaged in a conversation. My part would be to discuss the sublect of concern to the student. The student would ask questions, and we would end the session with a forcast of the next.

As an English major, I have graduated with exceptionally strong skills in written and verbal communications, as well as an analytical mindset. I was in the teaching program at the Feinstein School of Education at Rhode Island College for one year, and even got in-class experience with 4th grade students, and from this experience I realized that my natural passion for language and writing could be instilled in the eager personalities of developing young people. My mastery of language and grammar has been sharpened over the past four years, and therefore I am a viable candidate for tutoring in any area of writing, reading comprehension, and English language arts.
I find that my interactions with children, or even young adults, always involve establishing a personal, familiar connection on which we then build a relationship of mutual growth and education. I possess a calm, patient man ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the classroom, I tried to achieve a comfortable atmosphere in which students might voice their opinions and raise questions about the texts at hand. While professionalism is important, I also firmly believe in maintaining an approachable relationship with my students; communication through email, individual conferencing, and work-shopping of papers are essential in helping struggling students with their writing. I have found that once a student’s ideas and imagination are joined with organizational skills and proper essay structure, anything is possible; however, students often need someone to coax these ideas out onto paper, or aid them in organizing these thoughts in a logical manner.
My passion for literature and writing led me to study English for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. This interest and enthusiasm for reading literary and academic texts transferred into ... read more

My teaching style remains positive and respectful to all students, even in moments of confrontation. I always try to encourage, reinforce efforts with support, remain patient and try to present an example for students to emulate. My style is authorative while being at the same time warm, accepting and approachable with a willingness to help everyone. The subject of English, such as grammar and writing, can often be intimidating to young people who fear failure. It is important to offer a viable, safe and nurturing forum for them.
