My comments on tutoring Writing : Writing in English as a second lanuage for Spanish speakers only.

I have been composing creative, casual and professional communications on a daily basis for over 25 years. My primary employment is as the Executive Assitant to the President of a company in the finance industry. I represent her and this company in numerous communications each day. I also have taken several English communication college courses including writing, oral presentation and persuasive speaking.
I feel the environment most conducive to learning is one that is relaxed, positive, patient and fun.

Pittsburgh Tutor/Teacher

I prefer to incorporate student participation as much as possible instead of giving lecture-style instruction to learn their unique learning styles and to understand more about my students. With this understanding, I will be able to understand how I can better instruct them and test them on the material being taught.
I have studied the indicated fields for over two years at high school and university levels. Also, I have taught English as a Second Language as an intern while studying abroad in London for one semester. For this position, I taught from self-made exercises, lesson plans, and individualised activities focusing on English comprehension, writing, communication, grammar, and literature.

My comments on tutoring Writing : I have several works of my own that are in the process of being published. I can teach research methods, and different writing skills.

I am a Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from an NCATE accredited university that has a rigorous education program. In that program, I was required to teach elementary students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and adult classes. I have been teaching for three years and tutoring for five years. I have taught multiple types of learners in multiple subjects with a significant amount of success.
I am a great speaker, and I can easily relate to my students. I push my students thoroughly to reach their objectives, because I do not believe there is anyone who cannot learn a subject. I have never had a student fail on my watch, and I do not intend to ever have that happen if a student is trying. If you have the will to learn, I will see to it that you increase your grade.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught Nonfiction Writing, Composition and Professional Writing at the University of Pittsburgh for three years. My essays have been published in the New York Times and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, broadcast on National Public Radio, and anthologized in *Operation Homecoming* and in The Best of the New York Times "Modern Love" Column. My undergraduate degrees were in Studio Arts and English, with a minor in Art History and I encourage my students to incorporate multimedia in their work. I also encourage study of historical context for individual narratives and journalism.
Patient, friendly, supportive but rigorous feedback on narratives, essays and research papers with close attention to quality of research, craftsmanship, grammar, analysis and structure.
