My comments on tutoring Writing : please provide special attention items that need to be tutored eg: MLA format etc.This will help me better prepare and assist you.

I am very proficient with teaching my students to understand rather than just finish the activity or problem. I pay very close attention to the learning style of my students. I make sure they are focusing and learning rather than copying my teachings.
I continously tutor ages k-12, college students and international students. I have been tutoring for five years and enjoy sifting out the difficulties. Many students have trouble absorbing the material and many students read the curriculum abstractly. I help my students with processing the material easier so that we can progress efficiently.

My comments on tutoring Writing : I have worked for many years with classes and individuals to help them learn the writing process and to master the kinds of expository writing . This applies to grades 4- college as is grade level appropriate.

I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement.
I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish.

I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range o ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : One of the main ways to memorize and master the language is to keep practice on writing any thing comes up through the material study of the language.it will be the results of all what we've done through the learning process, motivating the students to write a real or imaginary situation, motivating their brain to go beyond the writing matter it self

You can do this; you do it already by being who you are.

Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.

I am patient yet firm. I expect students to be accountable for their own success; I want my students to become self-sufficient. With proper guidance and encouragement most students will succeed if not excel.

My students consistently showed improvement in their standardized test scores and over 95% of my students passed the course. Also, Over 95% of my sophomore passed the CAHSEE. In addition to my high school experience, I have been tutoring adult learners for the past three years, becoming the program manager two years ago.

Trained in common core and collaboration techniques, including "close reading". Was private tutor in mid 1990's while teaching at a Christian school.

Its Elementary Tutoring

My experience stems from working in the general education classroom while assisting not only students with typical development but also students with special needs in their ability to access the general education curriculum. I have experience working with students who have autism, emotionally disturbed diagnosis, and ADHD. However, my primary experience lies in working with students with autism. Finally, I also have experience tutoring high school students in writing but also enjoy tutoring reading for all grades.
