Composition is one of my top subjects! I have been teaching students of all ages, from 1st grade through adult and teacher certification programs.

I believe that all students can learn to read and write with an approach individualized for each learner regardless of the age.
For the past three years, I have been teaching Writing at Austin Community College. Prior to that I taught teachers as an online facilitator for PBS. In addition, I have been a special education teacher and coordinator and an English/Language Arts/Reading teacher in Texas, Ohio, Connecticut, and New York.

I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement.
From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, thre ... read more

I've done quite a bit of tutoring in the past couple years. I graduated from Michigan State University in May, 2011, where I studied French and studied abroad in France. I also spent a year in France teaching English, so I speak French at a near-native level. I really enjoy teaching and would love to help anyone out that needs help in French.

A Little Bit About Me...

In order to achieve the knowledge necessary to teach secondary level students reading and writing skills I have been driven to achieve a Masters degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Secondary English. Through extensive research of learning strategies for both English speaking and English Language Learners, I have gained knowledge of the best techniques for learning English Language skills. As a substitute teacher and student teacher, I have gained experience in both tutoring and classroom teaching in order to be able to teach my students the diverse techniques they need to excel in both basic reading and writing skills.
I have found through my most recent teaching and tutoring opportunities that all children have the capability to learn. Some just need that one-on-one assistance in order to succeed. I believe in hands-on learning that provides students of all learning ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings. After a taste in this field, I began teaching in ESL and have taught 9 years in public schools. With one school district I also had a class helping students with the English part of the TAAS test. During the rest of my career I taught Spanish which was also 9 years.
I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of ... read more

As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college.

I believe there are three steps in learning: instruction, practice and review. In the instruction phase, the teacher takes the reins in the class and explains the concept in full. In the practice phase, students try to apply the concept on their own with teacher support. In the final stage, when the concept comes up again, the teacher relies on the students to apply the concept independently. Of course, if the students cannot apply the concept independently, it may be necessary to re-visit step one. As a teacher and tutor, I stress these steps, and make sure the students are encouraged and praised the entire time.

I believe that students learn through doing, especially when learning how to write well. I can examine students' work closely, find areas that need polishing, explain why these areas could use improvement, and show them how to avoid problems in the future.
I am currently working as a part-time instructor at Austin Community College teaching Composition I. About a year ago I moved back to Texas from San Diego, where I earned my MA in English and spent several semesters teaching a variety of writing courses at area community colleges, as well as at San Diego State University. As a graduate student, I taught composition courses and worked twenty hours per week as a writing tutor.
