Helping students learn and learn how to grow

My teaching experience is broad across subjects and age levels. Learning and teaching excite me and I like to think that attitude rubs off on my students. It can be fun to learn, and even those subjects a student does not find enjoyable, can prove satisfying. I've taught middle school and high school, as well as at Bellevue College, Renton technical College, and North Seattle Community College. My own experiences include not just teaching, but also professional broadcasting, journalism (both broadcast and print newswriting, creative writing, editing, and reporting), writing a book, supervising employees as well as students, and poetry awards.
I like students to be comfortable, enjoy their experiences with me as much as possible, and learn not only the material they need to study, but also habits and practices that will help them with future studies.

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.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is usually a one-on-one approach beginning with material that is proven to be relatively easier for the student so that that we can establish an enjoyable,interactive approach. We will progress to the level that will take more "thinking" on the student's part. Challenges are also necessary. I have a quiet manner and recognize the importance of the student knowing what is being asked of him/her. My goal is to enhance "independent" thinking in my students. I understand the importance of each individual student's strengths and weaknesses and help the student to thrive on their strengths and continue to improve their weaknesseses. My goal is for all children to reach their potential.I love children, I love teaching!!!!!

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I spent most of my high school and college career honing my writing and reading ability, and through four years of English classes I have developed excellent writing skills. Additionally, my computer and internet knowledge has grown through my studies and professional work. I feel comfortable with all styles of writing, and enjoy discussing writing and reading with all age groups. I also enjoy studying chemistry and science, and I excelled at both in high school and in college. I have been working with students for a year and a half as an after school specialist with the YMCA and a tutor in the Issaquah area.
I like to instill in students a desire to learn. It makes it easier for them to have fun learning and easier for me to teach them new subjects. My first goal as a tutor, especially in reading and writing, is to connect with the student and find a topic that interests them. On ... read more

Read More About Lauren S...

I worked as a writing tutor at my college, Concordia University, for three of the years that I attended. During that time, I honed my teaching style and studied English composition to best explain grammar rules, style, and syntax to students. I also had the opportunity to train other tutors, which helped me understand every aspect of tutoring composition. It is easy to blur the line between tutoring composition and editing. I have learned to refuse to edit in favor of teaching students to recognize, correct and in the future avoid errors in their writing. My work in Concordia’s writing center inspired me to focus my senior thesis, In a Nutshell: A Guide to College Essay Writing, on teaching the writing process to incoming college freshmen.
Each tutoring experience should be tailored to the unique learning style of the student in order to ensure that the student gleans the maximum a ... read more
