Graduate student looking to help students achieve their goals!

I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel like he or she is an active and capable participant in learning the material. I also believe in leading by example and allowing the student to use me as a resource for reviewing their work.
I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the ... read more

During my years teaching English literature, at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada, I quickly discovered that the most rewarding and effective moments between student and instructor occur in one-to-one meetings. The tutoring environment is the ideal classroom, where a single student’s learning needs, academic desires and questions can be fully catered to, fulfilled and explored. I have worked with first-year university students, middle school students, all levels of high school students, and older adults. My advanced education, extensive experience, sincere respect for my students, and genuine love and enthusiasm for literature and learning make me ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have substitute taught for 2 years in all grades. I must be flexible, creative and outgoing while constantly adapting to new surroundings. I excel at drawing, writing and reading. I have my BA in art. I studied printmaking at Pacific Northwest College of Art and finished my degree at PSU. I have my master's degree in early childhood and elementary education. If you or your child needs help in any of these areas, please call! I look forward to hearing from you.
Everyone learns in different ways so it's important to me that I get to know the students first. That way I can differentiate the lessons for each student. I have also learned that students are more engaged when it's a subject matter that they care about. Of course it's not realistic that this will always be the case. Sometimes you have to learn things that you are not interested in, but approaching these subjects from the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always loved to write, and I've been writing since I was little. In high school, I was a writer and editor for the high school newspaper. I studied journalism at the University of Oregon for two years; and, I received a 3.5 GPA. Thereafter, I transferred to Portland State University, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (3.8 GPA). I believe psychology and communications are the perfect fit; in order to communicate to a wide range of individuals, you need to understand your audience. The more you understand people, the greater the ability you'll have to communicate.

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : My favorite subject!

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.

More About This Tutor...

Building rapport with my students is key; if they know I'm dedicated to their success, they'll be more confident in asking questions and trying new approaches, taking an active role in their learning. I keep a stress-free atmosphere of empathy, patience, encouragement and understanding. To match my students' methods of learning I often draw and write my own examples while using other media to spark creativity. I guide students as they work and provide immediate feedback and solutions. In this way, they can build upon their lessons and continually sharpen their skills for success. It is extremely rewarding to see my students improve--I am wholeheartedly invested in making it happen.
