Composition is one of my top subjects!

I have a degree in English Literature and graduated with a 3.66 GPA in 2012. I have written hundreds of college level essay and research papers. I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and I am currently attending Southern New Hampshire University to obtain a Master's Degree in Education. I work as an educator and specialize in Language Arts.
I believe strongly in adapting to the students style of learning. There is no "one size fits all" in learning. I think it is important to go beyond teaching the facts by exploring the bigger picture. Development of critical thinking skills should go hand in hand with teaching the test materials.

I teach with the learning style of the student. I am able to change things up when I see the student losing interest. My manner is calm and patient.

Casual and empathetic. I struggled with writing in high school and overcame my problems to become an editor at the top level of the book publishing industry and a college instructor on writing. I use my struggle to show my students how they too can achieve their goals.

Tutoring for: Writing, Reading, PSAT/SAT, ACT, GRE

I consider myself a very laid back person and am flexible in terms of addressing the student's concerns. I primarily work in subjects related to writing. My training is in philosophy, so I tend to focus on helping students develop strong reasoning/arguing skills and a precise voice. I find that these skills, which are heavily emphasized in philosophical writing, carry over well into all forms of academic writing.
I have worked at the Salem State University writing center for the last two years. At the writing center, I work with students on papers in all subjects, from math to English. My experience at the center has helped me develop methods for helping students plan and organize papers, and also for addressing grammar and style issues. I also have a lot of experience working with ESL students.

I will be graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in May 2010. I also have a minor in teaching and will continue in the teaching field through a Masters Degree program at UNH this coming fall. I have some experience tutoring students. In the spring of 2008 I was involved in a program called Seacoast Reads through the University of New Hampshire. In the program I tutored a second grade student in reading. Additionally I have been a teaching assistant in Environmental Chemistry at Dartmouth College and a teaching assistant in Plant Systematics at the University of New Hampshire.
I am very enthusiastic about teaching and about science. I believe that all students can learn if they are supported and if they are shown how the information they are learning is relevant to their lives. With high expectations and a strong support syst ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated in 2009 with my BA in English and am currently pursuing my masters in writing. While at the undergraduate level I learned about all manner of skill in writing from research papers to poetry. I am currently finishing up a Teaching Writing course at the graduate level at the University of New Hampshire. Taking this course has certainly broadened my understanding of writing and more importantly how to teach it. For the spring semester I am continuing on with a Teaching Secondary English course, also at the graduate level. I have certainly helped guide many of my peers and friends with countless papers which along with my own experience has provided me with an expansive knowledge of how to write and how to teach writing.
I love being able to help a student or peer develop and implement new knowledge. I like to take the approach of teaching skill not just content. I am pati ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics modeling and emotional intelligence. Because I am looking to keep my teaching skills current to eventually gain a tenured professorship, I would love to tutor you.
Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very honest, laid back teacher. I ask a lot of my students, but I do not do so in an intimidating manner. I like to have conversations with my students about things which they don't even realize are related to the topic we are working on. My extensive experience with special needs students has taught me how to get through to students who may not necessarily want to do the work they are being asked to do. I believe this is my strongest asset as a potential tutor in your program. I have worked with students who are eager, yet want to learn, and I have worked with students who want nothing to do with school as well. I believe that all children respond to somebody who is honest and outgoing with them - someone who is willing to give of themselves, rather than simply asking the student to do all of the giving. The greatest compliment I have ever received was when a special education ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is entirely individualized to meet the needs of the child. As a special educator, my instruction has most often been diagnostic, targeted to meet specific goals and objectives. I relate activities to real life, so that lessons are interesting and students can apply and generalize learned skills. I use a multisensory approach. My lessons often include a combination of visuals, formula guides, manipulatives and other materials carefully selected to support and engage the individual student.
As a fourth year special education teacher, I have an extensive repertoire of strategies to help students learn. Having worked with both disabled and nondisabled children, primarily in small group and 1:1 settings, I have developed an acute sense of each of my students' learning styles, strengths and needs. Previously, I have tutored in math, social studies and study skills at th ... read more
