The Word Doctor

My teaching style is geared to my student's needs and may be altered during the course of the lessons if necessary. Attention is given to priming a student's focus and setting goals. I thoroughly enjoy my students' progress.
My experience has been primarily in editing in various arenas, including medicine, technology, aerospace, and memoirs. I have tutored those whose native language structure hinders learning to use everyday idioms and phrases recently introduced into American English. Emphasis on proper grammar is light but holds to basic principles of good English.

Expert at finding the solution to help you or your child!

Our tutors are trained to be able to relate problems to the real world, making them concrete and simple. For example, a question may ask what is 7 times 25? This problem is abstract and challenging to some people. Thus, I rephrase it to, "If you have 7 quarters in your pocket, how much money do you have?" By making the problem more relatable to the student, the problem suddenly appears easier and less intimidating. Our tutors go through training on how to assess each student's individual learning style, and know how to adapt to each student. Being able to adapt to different learning styles is what sets out tutors about and ensures that the students learns!

Teacher, Tutor, Editor, Study Coach

I love teaching and learning! I have degrees in English and law, and have over ten years' experience teaching and tutoring in many subjects. I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from struggling learners to second language learners to doctoral candidates. My forte is research and writing, and I am familiar with APA, MLA, and Bluebook format. I can take a good paper and make it great! I work as a teacher and tutor at Lynn University's Writing Center.
I tailor my teaching style to individual needs. I like to use Powerpoints, interactive quizzes, and online resources such as quiz flash cards to enhance my tutoring, and if I notice an area of weakness I will find exercises to address the problem. I can also help with study skills.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Work with grades 4+ through adult on Critical Reading, Comprehension, Reader Response, SAT Reading

Most recently I have worked as a reading specialist. I have over 25 years of experience as an English as a Second/Foreign Language educator. I have taught at all levels k-12, as well as University. I have extensive experience teaching at the adult level and enjoy working with adult learners. Currently I am a private consultant with a focus on reading and learning - particularly learners with special needs.
I am a learner-centered instructor. When working with an individual I try to understand his or her learning approaches and needs. I believe that I work well with alternative learners and with young adults who may be disaffected with conventional educational methods. I particularly enjoy working with adults and feel that I often learn so much more from them than what I am able to offer. When working with adult learners I respect that their personal lives and nee ... read more

Dedicated Learner Wishing to Help Others

Because of law school, I teach mostly by asking questions. This enables students to feel proud of figuring things out on their own. Unlike my law school professors, however, I am sweet and nurturing.
I tutored students throughout law school in various subjects including, but not limited to, writing. Since opening my own legal writing, researching and editing business, I have assisted attorneys and lay people develop their own writing skills. I am a clasically trained actress who performed in several off Broadway shows in New York City. Although I majored in theatre performance, I excelled in creative writing, with an emphasis on poetry. In high school, I placed out of college English, enabling me to take nothing but creative writing classes. I am a grammar and punctuation nazi with excellent reading comprehension skills. I excel at testing. As an actress/attorney, I have become ... read more

FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY TUTOR (K-12) mdonasci@fau.edu

I use a Reciprocal/Practice based tutoring style. This an effective method because it allows me to interact with the student and help them grow more efficiently while holding an open discussion environment in each lesson. I then reinforce it with practice based assignments which are followed up with reviews in the beginning of the following class. This makes the student not only memorize definitions, but to also understand the reasoning behind different concepts.
Business student at Florida Atlantic University. I graduated from A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts with honors in the visual arts, specializing in Architecture and Mathematics. I have also tutored for 4 years now while in school by teaching a wide variety of subjects to students from the ages of 5-20.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : See comments on English

I have been teaching many years, and I make sure I keep very much up to date with the teaching styles and ideas in use today, I have bona fide references available from students and their parents, (past and present) to show prospective students. I have worked with students for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language). I have worked very successfully with students who have had a learning disability or physical or emotional or mental problem of some kind. I apply my teaching expertise and ideas to academics as well as music. All my students tell me that they can tell that I love teaching, by the way I work with them.
I am gentle, yet demanding. I am soft, but strict. I use humor to keep my students interested and in focus. I teach, but I also listen and watch for signals from my students in order to know if they understand or need more explanation. I develop ... read more

I adapt my teaching style to the personalities and learning styles of my clients. There is no universal way for everyone to learn. I have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and, as an anthropologist, am easily able to adapt my lessons to different cultural styles as well.
I began tutoring my classmates when I was in kindergarten. Throughout elementary and high school, I frequently tutored classmates and students in other grades. I began tutoring more frequently when I was working on my Master's degree several years ago because tutoring is generally very flexible, therefore allowing me adequate time to devote to my studies. Today, five terms into my PhD,I continue to tutor. I have also been working as a professional writing consultant at Florida Atlantic University since 2009, helping college students with any and every part of the writing process.
