My comments on tutoring Poetry : I am an Ivy League English major undergrad and enjoy teaching.

Friendly, non-threatening, clear and accomplishment-oriented.
Business executive looking to assist elementary and high school children with their studies. I am a voracious reader and a life-long learner. I like children, have had exposure to tutoring before, enjoyed it immensely, was very good at it (in the sense that the children enjoyed my friendly manner and enjoyed the learning experience) and would like to help children remedy deficiencies and perhaps even learn how to enjoy learning as much as I do.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : My students are introduced to the elements of poetry, poetry appreciation, various genres of poetry and their impact on readers. They are also given the tools of critical analysis, research, and written response.

Poetry is one of my top subjects! I plan to be a english teacher in the coming years after completing my MAT and poetry will be at the fore front of my curriculum. Not only is it a powerful tool of personal visualization using techniques like alliteration to personification it is a powerful tool of expression. With a semi-confined space people often pack a good deal of emotion into each stanza and choose every word carefully.

Graduate of The University of Vermont in May of 2015 - Double Major Degree; English and Classical Civilizations. Before that I have taught poetry at a School for underprivileged in Freeport L.I. I am Applying to the Brown University Education program with a plan to graduate with my Masters of the Arts in Teaching. I want to be the teacher that opens the door of wonder that is the literary world.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based around differentiating instruction to meet student's individual learning style. I enjoy teaching and once I am invovled with a student I dedicate myself to learning which, teaching, studying and learning strategies are best for each individual student. I am also a believer that a tutor/teacher need to constantly research to keep up with strategies and new scientific findings thst can be introduced into lesson plans and tutoring sessions. A teacher should be dedicated and knowledgeable and should teach with a caring touch and unbiased opinions. I strive to help students during these formidable years of adolescent growth so that they can learn how to learn and carry it into a successful academic career.
