My comments on tutoring Composition : Professional editor and former writing teacher

I have fifteen years of experience as a professional writer. I have published a children's book of poetry, written for literary magazines and had my work featured on NPR. I also have over a decade of experience as an editor for an educational publisher, which makes me well-qualified to review all types of written work.
I have done workshops for elementary school children and college students so I am comfortable with students of all ages.

Finding Your Inner Writer Effortlessly: Starts Here.

I am direct. I like to help the student find what is inside of them and write it. I am compassionate and challenging. There is an inner writer in all of us and I like to guide and help the student discover their true abilitiy effortlessly.
I began my college journey as an English major. I decided to switch to Elementary Education to be able to reach future writers before they lost the love for it. I have worked with all ages from toddlers to seniors in high school. I have been published in world wide devotional for women along with a world wide magazine. I have taught writing in schools to children who were struggling as well. Writing is who I am. My passion has been there since I first learned how to write in Kindergarten.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I am very good at helping write papers.

I have for many years helped friends and family when they have needed help with history papers, literature and writing homework, etc. I would love to assist others to achieve success in school as well. I can help with research papers or just regular homework. I am a history buff and enjoy reading history in my spare time so I can offer insight into history homework as well.
I am very patient when it comes to my teaching style. I try to use techniques that are compatible with my student's learning style. I never get angry.

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved my M.Ed. from American Intercontinental University where I held a 4.0 GPA. The classroom and hands-on experience gave me the knowledge and experience needed to face the demands of educators today. During the last four years, I worked mostly with adult learners, but a few high school students. I worked mostly in corporate training and development, but the high school students afforded me the opportunity to tutor in research, reading comprehension and composition. I have helped adult learners refine their sills in executive level composition for email, public speaking and reporting.
While I like students to know that I am an expert in my subject field, I also want them to take the opportunity to learn critical thinking skills. I want them to gather information, ask questions and break things down to a level that makes sense for them. With that being said, I believe ... read more

Every student is different, therefore every student has different needs. Every student also can learn differently, whether it be by incorporating more or less visual learning strategies, auditory learning strategies, or using more of the "hands on" approach. Learning can be and should be fun! I love teaching a student to success and when they enjoy what they are doing they are much more likely to succeed!
As an active member of my community, in the form of pageantry, volunteering, and leadership, I have always enjoyed instructing others. Currently, I love my job at Midwest Generation as an Instructional Designer of Training. I get to train Engineers and Office Managers on subjects I knew little about, and have grown in responsibility and development. I love kids, since my summer camp instruction job I held all throughout High School as well as an active instructor at my church. I j ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a very creative person myself, I strive to bring that creativity to my teaching. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present a lesson to my students. I believe students should be fully engaged in what they are learning as often as possible, and not just passively listening to a lecture. I bring an energetic approach to teaching that is often filled with humor, though I am never condescending to a student. I always look at each student as an individual and try to discover the best way of teaching that person.
The majority of my tutoring experience took place at Northern Illinois University from 2007 to 2008. There I worked in the NIU Writers’ Workshop, tutoring freshman students with assignments from their English classes. I worked with the same students each week (usually one or two at a time for 50 minutes) on both personal narratives and research papers. Since thi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.
I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.

I would describe my teaching style as innovative, flexible, and passionate. After observing and working with countless students, I have realized that every individual has their own style of learning. Therefore, as an instructor, it is my duty to differentiate my instruction so that I can appropriately teach to those specific styles. My instruction is infused with passion, which is exemplified in my insistent creation, reflection, and re-creation of teaching materials (based on how well the student grasps the material and in what manner they do so). I have a strong belief that, given the right instruction, each and every student can learn, succeed, and even excel academically.
My recent training through the nationally ranked Illinois State University English Education Program required me to work with a wide range of learners (from advanced placement students to those with learning d ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate from Illinois State University, I completed 100+ clinical hours of observing, tutoring, and teaching lessons in the classroom. I have worked with students from ages 3-18, giving myself a wide variety of experiences. I student taught in an urban high school setting over a period of four months. In addition to my own classroom work as a college student and teaching literature and composition while student teaching, I am an avid reader and writer. My strengths are literature, composition, and grammar, but I can also help with psychology studies, as I was a psychology minor.
Being a psychology minor, I have learned in depth the importance of teaching to multiple intelligences. I know that some students respond to lecture while others can only respond to more hands-on activities. Incorporating a variety of teaching methods, along with relevant materials is the best way to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Based on my degree which is BS in Finance and MS in Management Information Systems I have been able to touch so many learning experiences from this. The nature of my studies has helped me to gain more understanding in both the business aspect and sciences. It has also helped to improve my way of writing in presenting reports and research based work. In the past, I have tutored elementary candidate in Math, English and Sciences.
One of the most favorable things that I love to do is helping children to gain more understanding in their academics. I have worked with different children in the past, and I have helped so many of them to understand that they can be the best in whatever they set out to do. I am very patient, tolerant and can help your child improve and get the best experience in learning.
