Composition is one of my top subjects!

I believe strongly in adapting to the students style of learning. There is no "one size fits all" in learning. I think it is important to go beyond teaching the facts by exploring the bigger picture. Development of critical thinking skills should go hand in hand with teaching the test materials.
I have a degree in English Literature and graduated with a 3.66 GPA in 2012. I have written hundreds of college level essay and research papers. I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and I am currently attending Southern New Hampshire University to obtain a Master's Degree in Education. I work as an educator and specialize in Language Arts.

Casual and empathetic. I struggled with writing in high school and overcame my problems to become an editor at the top level of the book publishing industry and a college instructor on writing. I use my struggle to show my students how they too can achieve their goals.

Tutoring for: Writing, Reading, PSAT/SAT, ACT, GRE

I have worked at the Salem State University writing center for the last two years. At the writing center, I work with students on papers in all subjects, from math to English. My experience at the center has helped me develop methods for helping students plan and organize papers, and also for addressing grammar and style issues. I also have a lot of experience working with ESL students.
I consider myself a very laid back person and am flexible in terms of addressing the student's concerns. I primarily work in subjects related to writing. My training is in philosophy, so I tend to focus on helping students develop strong reasoning/arguing skills and a precise voice. I find that these skills, which are heavily emphasized in philosophical writing, carry over well into all forms of academic writing.

I will be graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in May 2010. I also have a minor in teaching and will continue in the teaching field through a Masters Degree program at UNH this coming fall. I have some experience tutoring students.

Additionally I have been a teaching assistant in Environmental Chemistry at Dartmouth College and a teaching assistant in Plant Systematics at the University of New Hampshire.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been involved with education for seven years now. I started by working as a paraprofessional in the special education program at Oyster River High School. This job was essentially daily tutoring of students within the school setting. In addition to this valuable experience I recently recieved my Masters Degree in Secondary English Teaching from the University of New Hampshire (in fact, Graduation was two days ago). The final step in reaching that goal was my year long internship, during which I taught a freshman English class and a Journalism 1 class, as well as helping to co-teach several other classes. Although my expertise is in the realm of English, I have tutored students in Math as high as geometry, and in Physical Science and Biology, as well as History, World Cultures, and Civics.
I am a very honest, laid back teacher. I ask a lot of my students, but I do not do so i ... read more

My teaching style is entirely individualized to meet the needs of the child. As a special educator, my instruction has most often been diagnostic, targeted to meet specific goals and objectives. I relate activities to real life, so that lessons are interesting and students can apply and generalize learned skills. I use a multisensory approach. My lessons often include a combination of visuals, formula guides, manipulatives and other materials carefully selected to support and engage the individual student.
As a fourth year special education teacher, I have an extensive repertoire of strategies to help students learn. Having worked with both disabled and nondisabled children, primarily in small group and 1:1 settings, I have developed an acute sense of each of my students' learning styles, strengths and needs. Previously, I have tutored in math, social studies and study skills at th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love being able to help a student or peer develop and implement new knowledge. I like to take the approach of teaching skill not just content. I am patient and easy going and will try my hardest to ensure that each individual student be treated as such. I thrive in the one on one teaching style and I hope to help each student reach his or her top potential. I would love to help other young writers find their way through the endless maze of grammar, spelling, and help them generate intriguing writing, not just correct writing. I like to think of grammar and spelling as certain tools to use and teach but I like to help a student get to a point where they can be proud and confident in their writing.
I graduated in 2009 with my BA in English and am currently pursuing my masters in writing. While at the undergraduate level I learned about all manner of skill in writing from research p ... read more
