Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

My teaching style with students of all ages is to facilitate their learning as opposed to simply feeding them what I feel is the best response. Students learning is maximized when they can take ownership of and pride in their work. I am very patient. Recognizing that all students learn differently, I seek to ascertain their learning styles and then adjust my tutoring style to that learning style. I taught and tutored ESL two years before entering law school. I hae taught college classes as an adjunct and later FT professor at Penn College for 25 years. I currently serve as Career Outreach Coordinator for HACC-Lebanon Campus. I have tutored many students, particularly in areas such as writing essays. I also served as a reader for the SAT Writing section, so I am familiar with what they are seeking. I am very proficient in grammar and structure.

Being an active reader and also a teacher of language arts, I can help you with any literary problems you might have. We'll talk. I prefer online tutoring, but in the classroom, I usually use project-based learning, which encompasses everything from reading to listening to creating until the subject is mastered. I like to use fun, learner-friendly examples to spark interest and imagination. Imagination is very important to me. It's built bridges and cities in the past. Imagination and application is king. I am a published freelancer (Complex Magazine, cinemablend.com, Weightwatchers.com, The Source, etc), and a middle school Language Arts teacher for the past 5 years. I also graduated Rutgers University with a BA in journalism, and I minored in English, so I cover a lot of bases. I can help you with both reading and writing. I have the experience to take you far.

A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

I feel a great deal of satisfaction in assisting children to fulfill their educational potentials. I believe that a solid foundation in arithmetical and writing/reading basics is essential for further educational success. I therefore prefer to tutor elementary school children. I believe that a prime goal of a tutor is to prepare material that the students can enjoy while they are learning and developing study skills. This will foster a desire to learn and a love for learning. I currently tutor privately 2 days a week for a 2nd Grader diagnosed with ADHD in reading comprehension, writing, and math. As Tutor at Hodge Road Elementary School, Knightdale NC I conducted Pre-and-Post-Tutorial Assessment Testing; prepared individualized lesson plans for K-5th Grade students in Language Arts and Mathematics; guided students in developing educational skills; assisted students in understanding l

I have been teaching biology at the college level for around 8 years, including small and large groups, laboratories, and lectures. My teaching certificate experience has helped me to understand how students think and learn, and how best to help them improve in their coursework. While I specialize in biology, I also tutor in literature and general writing. I provide online and in-person editing services for any subject. Please see my business site, www.anderson-tutoring.org, for more details. I'm enthusiastic about learning and helping my students to learn. My primary goal is to teach students to learn on their own, rather than simply giving them answers. I think of myself as a leargning guide, not just an instructor. I like to help students figure out how to answer their own questions, so they eventually no longer need a tutor!

I have been tutoring students privately since 2004 in a variety of subjects for grade levels ranging from elementary to graduate level university coursework and Ph.D. dissertations. I mostly tutor students in Mathematics, Literature/Humanities, and Business courses. However, I have also tutored many students from grades 1-12, but I am also experienced tutoring traditional and non-traditional college students. I also tutored and graded for the John Carroll University Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for five years. In addition, I have two years of Statistical Consulting experience in a variety of different fields, whereby I use mostly SAS and SPSS, as well as STATA. Currently, I am pursuing a MA in Criminal Justice and Criminology, and looking forward to attending Law School in the distant future. My teaching style tends to depend on the learning preferences of the stud

Students want to succeed. I offer the personalized curricula and individual attention that build the confidence and skills students need to turn their academic lives around. I’ve helped C students become academic stars and failing students discover their inner scholar and bring home grades that make their parents smile. I bring over fifteen years of teaching experience in language arts and math to my students. After retiring from full-time teaching, I began tutoring students ranging from first graders to students prepping for the SAT, ACT, and GRE exams. I've tutored both individuals and small groups and have seen students improve their academic careers dramatically.

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

Literature was a concentration within my major, and I have taught most genres of literature to students for over 10 years. My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. Additionally, I was an active club sponsor and peer mediator. It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the needs of all of my learners in order to ensure the highest level of success for each child. When I began my teaching career, my passion for English propelled me to initiate and nurture the same love of literature and writing in young people. However, although the aforementioned mantra remains in tact, another overarching mission evolved––to devote myself to the betterment of children’s lives using all of the knowledge, exp

I am familiar with teaching a wide variety of literature. I enjoy and have worked with middle school novels and more complex college level texts (and theoretical works). My teaching style and my hours are flexible and accommodating to the individual needs of each student. I like to cover all the bases, and keep things interesting. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. 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,

The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation. JWVG Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner. I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines.
