My comments on tutoring Composition : I have been teaching writing for 30 years at LaGuardia Community College, in NYC. I have helped many students from around the world to become fine writers of the English language. I am patient and understanding.

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that incl ... read more

I love English Language Arts, You Can Too!

I believe teaching is a combination of hands on and direct instruction. Learning should be fun too.

I am also an adjunct professor, part time, at Ocean County Community College. There, I teach two freshmen English courses. I am skilled in reading comprehension techniques and spelling instruction.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Teacher writing is my favorite thing to teach, as it is a chance to see a student's creativity and uniqueness in their work. As a certified Teacher of English (NJ), I am prepared to teach writing composition at any age. I have worked with beginning readers who are just learning to make letters into words and words into sentence. On the other side of the spectrum, I have taught High School English, and thus am familiar with working with the upper levels of writing. I currently am working with an SAT student who needs help with the writing prompt. I am EXTREMELY detailed when checking a student's essay, and have this notion that a writing piece could only get better and better. Please consider this experience when thinking of how your student or yourself would like to fair in writing.

Students best learn by doing, by experiencing, and from a variety of experiences that incorporate their five senses. Students learn with different paces and styles. There is no one way for a student to become well-rounded, it is just a matter of providing experiences where the student can learn from the environment. It is not a matter of one student being better than the other, rather it is a matter of students learning in different ways.
My experience entails a well rounded experience of teaching students from preK to adult. My most important position was acting as Director of Education for Sylvan Learning, where I basically ran the learning center. I supervised teachers and all student programs, conferred with parents from the beginning to the end of their experience with Sylvan, and did so much more to develop a positive experience with all clients and teachers involved.

My comments on tutoring Composition : In order to improve writing compositions one must be taught the principals of writing. I have several years experience and can help a student to improve his/her writing.

I have more than 20 years teaching and tutoring at the junior high and high school level of student. My students have improved their SAT scores and Classwork has allowed them to grasp literature,writing skills, and overall reading skills. A recent student improved 160 points on the SAT verbal test. With my instruction and hard work any student can achieve a higher score.

More About This Tutor...

As a fellow student with a love of learning, I understand that the road to success is often paved with bumps and hardships. I hope to enable other students along their journey to better acquire the knowledge they are pursuing the most comfortable manner for them. I do not have any formal tutoring experience, but I have always helped peers scholastically and am eager to extend this service past the classes I attend.
When learning or teaching a subject, I particularly focus on gaining or providing a solid foundation of the concepts at hand. This will often necessitate breaking down the material into delicate, bite-size pieces or approaching the material from as many angles as necessary for a solid comprehension. I hope to be able to provide this in my tutoring.

A Little Bit About Me...

Writing, reading, and english have always been my passions. I don't have any formal training within the english tutoring or teaching worlds; however, I have always been a "go-to" for friends and classmates whenever they had questions or concerns about their assignments. Next fall I will be heading back to school in order to obtain my teaching credentials, and in the meantime, I thought that I would use my talents to help others.

I combine a variety of teaching styles to accommodate student's learning style. When it comes to GED instruction, I would say that math is my strong suit. I always try to find examples of how certain skills could be applied to real life experiences.
I have experience working with students from Kindergarten through adult education. My earliest teaching experience was with primary grade children (K-2) in an inner-city school district. I taught basic skills to incarcerated men in a NJ Correctional Facility. I have experience working with first generation college students in need of remedial coursework before advancing to college level courses. I'm currently working (part-time) teaching GED writing and math, 2 evenings a week.

At Hofstra University I gained not only the experience necessary to work with a diverse group of children and teachers, but also the understanding of how important reading, writing, comprehension, and grammatical skills are in life. I hold a Bachelors Degree in English Literature as well as Sociology. In the past 3 years I have been given the opportunity to help students to learn and grow in several different fields. I have spent time in several different schools teaching middle school subjects to advanced learners and even children ranging from ages 5-15 who suffer from learning disabilities and lack social skills. I spend my time volunteering for many educational organizations and I am very proud of my education and experience.
My main focus when teaching is to "keep it interesting". Students struggle with relating to their teachers and administrators in a classroom or school set ... read more

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

My teaching style is fair, but firm. I am a strict believer in following directions and organization as a basis for any subject taught, and I strive to help my students understand this process as they go through their educational careers. My role is not just as educator, I am a director in my student's study skills, for it is when they understand this, that they can truly be successful. I believe in designing creative, original ways to present lessons. I am in this career because I love what I do, and I am good at it, which is apparent to my students, their parents, and my direct supervisors.
As an English educator, I firmly believe that the more experience you acquire, the more effective your teaching style becomes. Since I not only teach language arts in a middle school setting, but also accept positions which require me to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college le ... read more
