As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I am a casual yet intense tutor who demands of a lot of her students. I know how to balance a need to teach to the test and also find personal and lasting internal motivation in my students toward improving their own academic performance. I have years of experience in helping people learn how to write better through my editing and coaching skills in a variety of settings. As a current doctoral student, my study and time management skills are excellent and I can show you or your son or daughter how to study more effectively. As a psychologist in training, I am particularly adept at addressing the psycho-emotional issues that often accompany learning struggles. I have experience coaching students on resumes, admissions essays and recommendation letter solicitations based on my own experience with top-tier educational institutions such as Harvard and Vanderbilt.

Highly qualified k-8. Professional writer for 35 years. Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based. For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.

I believe strongly in all students developing their writing skills as part of what it takes to suceed in school, work, and life. My students at Vanderbilt Divinity School where I am a Teaching Fellow and PhD student in Religion, Psychology, and Culture, write in evaluations that I give the most attention and valuable feedback on their writing in terms of composition, the technical aspects of writing, and organization that they have received at the school. I have been writing and editing professionally since I was in high school when I wrote for The Oregonian, Oregon's major newspaper, and was asked to review high school capstone projects at the school district level. I love working with students on their writing. My background in pastoral counseling means I am particularly trained to be an empathetic listener who can pretty quickly analyze fears and anxieties which may be affecting schoo

It's all about you, the students. We all learn differently, so I like to tailor my style to the person I'm teaching. Let me know what you want to learn, and I'll work with you to get the best result. The only requirement I have is that I want you to care. If you come to me, you have to work. I'm not a ogre, but I won't let you come to me and not try to learn. I've been an informal tutor for as long as I can remember. I've tutored my peers and my juniors in English grammar, spelling, vocabulary, writing, composition, essay, formal reports, reading comprehension, and anything else involved in English. I also have formally studied Japanese and tutored in that. Formally, I have worked as an ESL teacher for The Salvation Army. I've been both a classroom teacher and a one-on-one teacher with my students.

I love helping the students reach their full understanding of the topic in easy ways. I have a five year experience over which I learned different students' techniques of learning and understanding the curriculum. I have developed better methods of explaining things to students who couldn't understand the topic. Through God's help and my tutoring, my tutees' grades have nearly doubled and reached over a 100.

I am currently completing my final year at Vanderbilt Law School. Over the past three years, I have taught a class and provided one-on-one tutoring for students preparing to take the LSAT. I also taught an upper level course while in grad school (it was in radio production). While I was in undergrad, I spent time tutoring elementary and middle school aged children over the internet. All together, I have helped dozens of individual students in a private setting and nearly a hundred students in the classroom. Personally, I love numbers and have always been very comfortable with math. But my grades and test scores have always been just as strong in other subjects, and I am confident that I can help you or your child in any of the areas listed below.

I have four+ years experience writing articles and essays over a variety of topics. Not only did I write while earning my degree in English, I have continued to write after graduation. I have experience in all things English. From the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to focus on this subject in my studies in college. I received a BA in English and am currently earning my Masters in Secondary Education to be an English teacher. My interest in English goes beyond the classroom. I have always been an avid reader and writer, pointing out themes and connecting stories to real life. Since graduating college, not only have I gone back to school to be a teacher, but I have also written articles and edited for websites, blogs, and newspapers. i believe English is as important as any other subject in school. You must have English in order to know how to read and write. Having pr
