My comments on tutoring Composition : 22 years teaching experience at the high school, college, and graduate levels.

I taught high school and college students for twenty-two years. Many of these students have become successful lawyers, engineers, teachers, professors, and business people. I know how to help you learn, and I know how to make your learning enjoyable. If you'll do what I show you, you'll move to the next level and have fun doing it.

Tutor for the summer

I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills. I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history.
I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation.

More About This Tutor...

In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writing a middle school age novel. Prior to this, I wrote a newspaper column for two years in California. I also score state proficiency tests for Pearson Educational Measurement, K-12.
It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human cir ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years.
I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.

I enjoy teaching and working with all age groups. My teaching style is to listen carefully to the student to find out where he or she is having difficulty understanding. I evaluate how the student best learns and try to integrate this is my tutoring. I focus on the reasoning and logic that lead to answers so the student is equipped to reason out answers. Finally, if required I may help the student develop a strategy for tests and exams.

More About This Tutor...

My first experience instructing young people took place while I was in college, coaching elementary girl’s basketball. This job, which turned out to be amazing and inspiring encouraged me to find a career that would incorporate helping others and furthering my own learning experience. Today, I study secondary education so that I can earn my Master’s degree and go on to teach young people. I spend time in the classroom at the local high school assisting students with their work, and also just interacting with them and showing them that I care. I love the fact that these young people are willing to open up to me and allow me help them in their learning journey.
Teaching is about relationships, and the bonds that they build that provide trust. I believe that if a student doesn’t trust my intentions and know that I am working towards helping them in a truly genuine manner, they cannot ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I first began tutoring reading and writing in 1996 and continue. I wanted to become an English teacher but couldn't finish college because my parents could not afford it. I love to read and also to read to others. Teaching has always been my passion. I would like to do it more.
I love to teach children of all ages, especially when they are eager to learn. I am always excited when I see the success children achieve. I have never met a student that couldn't learn. I always bond with my students and really care about them. I believe my success is seeing them succeed. Each student is a fresh experience and sometime a wonderful challenge.

I teach so I can empower the individule to create a goal that can be attained. I have a stregth based approach, which gives the one I am teaching a positive outlook at what they can achieve. My focus is to empower the student to achieve their goals and to make the choice to further their education with enformed guidelines.
As a Social Worker I came in contact with young adults who have dropped out of school because of becoming young parents, drug use, and or a lack of support from parents. My initial contact was to address child abuse and or neglect but I quickly recognized the bigger picture included their inability to process information because of a lack of education. I started a parenting class to give them a safe place to start looking at these issues.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that every student has potential awaiting discovery, and that reaching that potential is largely a matter of recognizing individual learning styles and providing appropriately matched environments. I am patient, encouraging, and motivational. I believe in the constructivist paradigm of learning, motivating the student to become actively involved in their own process, emphasizing the process, and acting as a facilitator who prompts, mediates, and encourages the student to speculate, discover, and identify their own milestones and manners in learning, creating a fluid, dynamic foundation for future education, not one set of information to be discarded when done.
