I worked as an elementary school librarian for ten years. This was a teaching position -- I developed and taught lessons in library skills and assigned grades. I have also worked as a classroom teacher and substitute teacher. Recently, I volunteered for a local immigrant-services organization, tutoring an immigrant from Myanmar in English. My approach is fairly structured, with heavy emphasis on the "nuts and bolts" of content and on moving smoothly and logically from one step to the next. However, I also like to balance this with use of stories, field trips, and conversations so that my lessons have a well-rounded and user-friendly feel.

I have limited experience in tutoring. The experiences include tutoring student nurses in the clinical facilities and in the Fundamentals of Nursing. When I worked with the students in the facilities, I would always demonstrate an organized way of assessing a patient from head-to-toe. I would ask a patient to agree to this procedure. I explained exactly what I would be doing. I emphasized that all the clinical students (males and females) would be watching and asking me questions. I would then type up (document) the findings and give each student a copy. However best the student learns. I believe in "hands-on" whenever this is feasible.

I tutor in technical writing, professional writing, and creative writing. Because English and literature is subjective, I use a nondirective approach to ensure that the student is exercising their creative problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. Basically, I ask them about their interpretation of the text or their own writing. With grammar, I typically model the correct use for the student two or three times, and then have them finish finding patterns and correcting mistakes themselves. I've taken courses in tutoring, grammar, Shakespeare, and writing composition, as well as worked in the University Writing Center at my university as a writing consultant. I currently tutor three Middle Eastern students in writing composition, conventions of English grammar, and health. I do freelance proofreading and editing.
