My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have already written hundreds of poem/ prose so I know how to incorporate the elements of poetry. Would have to talk to the individual to see what they wanted me to teach however to be able to tell if I would be the right teacher for the individual.

I focus on concepts and foundations compared to facts/dates/lines of moves.
Chess- played 10 years, u1700 chess champion, tied for first for three years for top high school female player at State. Taught classes to groups (k-5) for 3 years as well as individuals for many. History- I plan to be a high school or college world history teacher. experience is a minor in history after next semester and my lifelong passion for history.

Social Studies and Creative Writing (English)

I am currently a Sociology student at Augsburg College. I am also pursuing a minor in Psychology. This year will be my last, so I will graduate in 2014. Also, I have taken several creative writing courses at the Loft Literary center, as well as at my College. I received a 4.0 in my courses. Also, in high school, I was always a level above in all English and composition classes.
I like to challenge people to think outside of the box. Although I know it is important to know how to take tests and write papers appropriately, I also know that showing skills that go above and beyond, is what makes a student stand out. I will challenge your mind but in a way that will help to see the bigger picture out of the details, and will also help to shape you into a well-rounded, thoughtful individual.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have experience in writing poetry, namely slam. I also have studied poetry in classes and on my own.

I work hands-on, using examples. However, I am readily able to adjust to new learning styles!
I have taken creative writing and journalism courses. I have experience in the journalism field, and won an award for one of my stories. I have also done much writing on my own, including writing a full-length novel (in the works of being edited with hopes of publication). I am an avid reader and my reading comprehension/writing scores on tests have always been well above average.

A true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination

I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word.
I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application.

I'll explain it the way you need me to - gchang327@gmail.com

I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.
I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe teaching is not just about imparting the content knowledge, but also about inspiring values and principles like honesty, integrity, reliability and mutual respect amongst students to help them evolve as good and responsible human beings. My professional philosophy is that each student sitting in front of me is a unique individual with their own abilities and goals in life and need to be respected and cared for what they are.
Having thoroughly studied various subjects like English Language & Literature, Psychology and Media Studies at the university, I’m very keen on applying my theoretical skills in a teaching position that contributes to my professional growth and development. Working with Charlton College in rural Australia and both my school placements in Melbourne gave me enough opportunities to learn invaluable skills from my supervising teachers like effectively ma ... read more

While working on my Bachelors, I volunteered in eight schools working one on one with students, small groups, and classroom settings for language arts. I also student taught junior high language arts. I received numerous teacher of the week recognition when I taught after school art classes. Since graduation, I have been a substitute for all grade levels and subject matter.

I also have a daughter that graduated kindergarten at age 5, that I work with on a daily basis to keep her caught up on milestones.

My teaching style is personalized to the student. Each student has their own strengths and challenges and a good teacher will build on the former and mitigate the latter. I work with students to help them identify their areas of frustration and build confidence by setting achievable goals.
