My comments on tutoring Literature : Encouraging instruction from a quality tutor can help students realize the full extent of their talent and ability. As evinced by my professional and scholarly background, I maintain a sincere enthusiasm for the development of reading and writing proficiencies. After earning a juris doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law — during which time I worked as a staff writer for a legal news publication — I subsequently established a freelance writing and editing business. Collectively, these experiences involved extensive practice in advanced English composition, journalism, legal writing, scholarly research, news media, proofreading, and editing. With experienced instruction, there is no doubt your student can achieve great literary success.

Environmental Journalist to help with reading and 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 we discuss a different tale to find out what the story means, how it's evolved and what makes it stick.
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 crea ... read more

Lifelong learner wants to help!

Hello All, I am currently a 3rd grade teacher in a ICT classroom in Brooklyn,NY. I truly enjoy educating children and helping them develop a greater understanding of different concepts. I am into my 4th year of teaching. I am highly dedicated and motivated teacher who is willingly to go above and beyond to help children succeed.
Patience is a true virtue! When teaching children, patience has to be presence. I have learned through my experience, a calm environment with a patience and observant teacher who is willing to try to understand how the child learns, goes a long way because all children are not the same; therefore, they do not learn in the same manner.

My comments on tutoring Literature : I have taught American Literature, World Literature, and Introduction to Literature courses for high school seniors (AP Lit) and college freshmen/sophomores.

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.
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.

Learning Can be Easy and Fun!

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor.
For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my years of teaching, I have witnessed and helped assist in new and exciting educational program implementation in day-cares and school systems. With my real world and in class learning I have realized the importance children’s primary academic instruction plays in their growth and development. I find it fortunate that I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level, and those who were exceptional. These opportunities have helped build my classroom management abilities and communication skills. My philosophy of education has been centered on differentiated instruction and the importance of individual learning styles and effective evaluative measurements. From March 1st, 2010 till June 30th, 2011 I have had the opportunity to be both a full time grade one and grade four teache ... read more
