Composition is one of my top subjects!

I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature. I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections. As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was born deaf. Because of that, I started learning simple signs before I could talk. I am by no means an interpreter, but I can carry on full conversations and aid in the tutoring of students who want to learn.
I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I vary it the best I can to accommodate the student, though I believe that the most important factor is that the student be guided through the process and never just given the answer or denied explanation.
As a graduate of university level education from the English field, I have written a great deal and have been extensively exposed to the writing process. A great deal of my education was focused on Education/Teaching in the event I decided to apply my degree in such a manner. I have some experience with students in the formal classroom environment as well as the one-on-one setting.

Composition is one of my top subjects!

As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.
My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is tailored to the individual. The first thing I do when I'm trying to teach someone something is determine their learning style. If they don't know it I help them figure it out. I do find that most people learn best by diving in and doing it themselves first, while I serve as a "safety net". Whenever I was teaching new helmsmen or junior officers how to steer survey lines, I would direct them how to do it the first few times, and then when they felt ready to try it themselves, I stood back and let them, not stepping in until the absolute last second. Letting them make and try to correct their own mistakes seemed to be the best teaching tool I had.
As a NOAA Corps Officer, I helped teach new personnel many facets of our day-to-day operations, from instructing new officers on getting their Officer of the Deck qualifications to preparing new survey techs for their h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have extensive experience tutoring in reading, wring and listening in the fundamentals of the English Language. While in college I also assisted fellow students professionally, but the concentration of my experience comes from student-teaching in the United States and teaching independently overseas.
I tailor my teaching style to the needs of the particular student. Typically I will give traditional lessons, but will break up the curriculum into practical applications and I love to play games to enhance learning.

In preparation for completing my BS degree in Education I participated in Student Teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school and university student, I regularly tutored other students in Spanish and other subjects, both professionally and on a volunteer basis. While I was earning my bachelor's and my master's in Spanish, I gained the skills required to help other students reach their foreign language goals. I was paid by George Mason University to tutor college athletes in Spanish. I have tutored elementary age students in every subject from math to literature and English to Social Studies. Through my experience with my universities' literary magazines, I have also achieved an extensive knowledge of grammar and writing and would be qualified to help students with their writing.
I know that learning a foreign language is a challenge for many people and takes a lot of commitment for everyone. I know what it takes to get from the point where you are struggling with a subject to the poi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very enthusiastic teacher and tutor. I love to see a student's eyes light up because he/she has had an "aha!" moment and finally understands a concept with which he/she had been struggling. I understand that all students have different learning styles, and I believe it is the teacher's job to tap into those styles and present lessons in a way which will appeal to the student. It is important to me to show students how reading and writing skills apply to their lives and how they will use these tools in their future careers. My goal is to motivate all my students to reach their full potential and to give them confidence that they can and will succeed in reading and writing.
I graduated with honors from Old Dominion University, was a member of the National English Honor Society, and possess a bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in secondary education. My profes ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I presently teach at a K-12 private school for students with learning differences. I have taught students in all grades, K-12. This year, I have been a remediation teacher in reading (decoding), math, and writing. In math, I am comfortable teaching through geometry. I have 10 plus years teaching students with dyslexia and other reading deficits with their decoding and spelling skills. Through programs that implement Orton-Gillingham approaches, I have found great success.
Teaching is not a job for me, it is what defines me. I have been teaching for over 13 years and still desire to do nothing else. I love my job and find great joy in making a difference in the lives of my students. I have high expectations and believe students can reach their potential given the right support. I believe I also have the skills to teach those students who struggle most. I seem to have the k ... read more
