Composition is one of my top subjects! As a writer, speaker, White House correspondent, consultant, and freelance journalist, I am highly experienced in composing engaging and effective content on a wide variety of subjects. I write two articles of 800 to 1,200 words apiece for thediplomat.com, reaching an international audience of up to 800,000 readers with each piece. I would love to teach that skill, and its associated fundamentals, to your student.

As a journalist, I have had the privilege of reporting from the White House Briefing Room many times during last few years. Since the 1990's, I have researched, consulted, and designed numerous international business and government-related projects. For the last 4 years my articles on China have been published by "The Diplomat", www.TheDiplomat.com. Having lived in China for many years, I am qualified to tutor in Mandarin Chinese. In my early career years, I tutored international students in English. As a small business owner, I know how to market and build brands. I look forward to being useful to you and your student.
Personalized, sensitive to the student's needs, fun, and encouraging. At the same time, disciplined and goal-oriented throughout.

30+ years teaching experience. Raise grades and confidence!

Because everybody learns differently, I tailor my teaching style to the learning style of the individual student.
I have been a public school special education teacher for 33 years. My specialties are Middle School Math, Algebra I, Geometry, and, Algebra II. However, I can also help you with English skills, especially writing and grammar. Although my Master's Degree is in Special Education, I have many years of experience teaching non-handicapped and even gifted students. I can help you raise your grades and your confidence. You will do MUCH better on tests, including the standardized state test! I offer tutoring anytime, including over the summer to help you retain skills and enter the new school year with confidence.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I only really have experience from this from high school, and some personal experience in college.

I like to see examples of what the person is having difficulty with in order to pinpoint problems and then work on them from there.
I am currently an English major, specifying in creative writing, at Virginia Tech. In high school, I took both of the offered AP English courses and passed with a 4 on both. In college, almost every class I have taken has been English-oriented, with regards to either literature or writing. When it comes to helping others, I have been editing friends' papers some in high school and multiple times weekly in college. I am able to find what they are doing wrong and constructively advise ways to fix their problems with writing.

All Things Writing!!!

In Writing... I generally give my students a mild assessment to see how I can best help them. I also conduct all of my own lesson planning. However, I am certainly accustomed to helping students with current academic work they may already have from their current classes. The first thing that I typically help students do is get pass the creativity block (if needed). Even I, like all writers have suffered from the inability to start my essay because I didn't know what to write about or how to collect ideas for my topic. So the first thing I do for my student writers is help them employ a couple brainstorming techniques to get their ideas going. The second thing I show my writers is what I call the Order of an Essay. This involves arranging and writing the ideas in the order that constructs a well-written essay. This is usually the biggest thing that most student writers strug ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects!

As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.
My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees.

A Little Bit About Me...

I vary it the best I can to accommodate the student, though I believe that the most important factor is that the student be guided through the process and never just given the answer or denied explanation.
As a graduate of university level education from the English field, I have written a great deal and have been extensively exposed to the writing process. A great deal of my education was focused on Education/Teaching in the event I decided to apply my degree in such a manner. I have some experience with students in the formal classroom environment as well as the one-on-one setting.
