Environmental Journalist to help with reading and writing

I like to help people learn about English by exploring their interests. For example, if you are a fan of economics we can read The Economist and discuss world politics. If you prefer to talk about animals we can create an entire English lesson plan around that. I can also help with creative writing and essay writing
I am an environmental reporter based in New York. My articles have appeared in New Scientist, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Popular Science, OnEarth Magazine and Smart Planet. I was also a copy editor with a large publishing house for two years where I used my spelling and grammar skills to fact check and proof read manuscripts. I love to travel and learn about people and the world and spent two years living in Paris, France where I was an English tutor to French children and adults. I also co-host a podcast about fairy tales called Tabled Fables. Each month ... read more

Assistant Teacher; Dedicated and Supportive Tutor

Throughout my undergraduate career, I have tutored fellow students in my major, designing tools to help them succeed on exams and assignments. In addition, students taking various courses have asked me to edit their papers and guide their studying. Outside the realm of college, I have previously been an assistant teacher for early intervention and preschool children. I am currently an assistant teacher for elementary school students. I enjoy working with people, and I enjoy using my strong academic abilities to help others succeed in school. I consider myself a friendly and down-to-earth person, eager to give over my positivity, dedication and support to those that I work with. I look forward to giving over these ideals to my future students.

Writing is simple when you allow it to flow from your heart.

In addition, I have taught English as a Second Language and held private classes in writing.
I have a very basic philosophy on writing. It's about developing your own voice. Everything flows from that.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Have taught composition courses to college freshmen for 5 years.

I have over ten years of experience writing and editing creative and argumentative work. During and after graduate school, I taught composition, creative writing, American and world literature at liberal arts colleges and junior college throughout the south. When I moved to New York, I continued to write and edit, working with numerous authors in librarianship, international studies, and argumentation theory. I am most qualified to assist motivated high school and college students in any area of writing composition and introductory literature.
I have a laid-back, respectful attitude toward students, with my primary interest being their successful understanding of the subject area. As well as being a valuable tool in the workplace, writing is fun and rewarding; I want students to see the benefits of writing without feeling burdened.

More About This Tutor...

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.
I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosop ... read more

I do not have a teaching style as this implies that I or anyone can really teach another how to write. Writing is not taught in a way that science can be taught or grammar can be taught. Writing (and learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary lists are not learning how to write) is learned and my job -- as tutor or college composition instructor -- is to help students at all levels find their voice and style and indentify the challenges they face whenever they write.
I have been teaching and tutoring writing in almost every genre -- from the creative prose to business correspondence and memoranda -- since 1998. I started out tutoring students in anthropology at Hunter College and then landed a teaching position at a business school where I taught business English. In 2007 I enrolled in an MFA program at The City College and a year later began teaching freshman composition courses t ... read more

All children can learn,

My style adapts to student's needs. There are multiple points of entry for undertanding.
I have taught Language Arts in Middle School, 7th and 8th grade. In addition, I taught all major subjects in Grades 3, 4, 5. I have worked with students in regular education classes, and also have had previous experience with special needs children ( behavior and academics). My students have been successful with city and state assessments, and in the recently developed ratings in NYC I am "effective", very close to "highly effective", in their newly developing rating system.

Reading and writing are both passions, not parlor tricks.

I am gracious to say that I have accumulated nearly fifteen years of impassioned decorated reading and writing where I was the honored recipient of the Proficiency With Distinction Award for critical thinking, literature, as well as reading comprehension in 2012. I have two short stories published by a high profile Vermont newspaper (Vermont Journal), both of which were published in 2014 and were the recipients of statewide acclaim and accolades. I hold the ability to read comprehensively and to write critically with a flaring imagination and analytical wit at the utmost highest regard. The power of the written word is unparalleled and is a passion of mine beyond description.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I can help you create more targeted compositions. Either I can edit your work or guide you putting spoken words and thoughts onto the page. Mainly I will help you keep your writing goals in mind.

My style is to give you time to work both in front of me and alongside me so I can assess what makes you a strong learner, meaning what best helps you remember a learning experience, and then we can use those skills wherever you have room for improvement.
I have experience working in math and science as I do for work in a healthcare lab position. In all my schooling through college I tutored and studied in peer organizations, whether a French club in high school, biology society in college, or discussion of the material at hand. I have had some recent successful experiences tutoring in the community where I grew up (Hudson and Bergen County, NJ). Then my work in the spring with Reading Partners meant refocusing and awakening an eight year old student to her potential and how much she could enjoy reading.
