Depends on the student. I'm very adaptable. To say I am or am not alone thing here would be to exclude those who don't like that style.
I've had years of experience due to my love of English. I'd help my friends and underclassmen to understand a novel or get ideas to write a paper. I'd check their grammar and spelling, and offer advice about the overall style of the paper. Now, I'm studying to become a college professor of English and perhaps French. I'm willing to work with students at middle school and high school age who need help either writing or understanding English or grammar, or need help with an assigned book that they can't understand (ergo, Shakespeare).

A Little Bit About Me...

I've been writing and thinking about writing since I learned to read. I have, in the past decade or so, finally gotten serious enough to start publishing and teaching, while establishing my post-graduate education in order to increase my capabilities. For the past two years I have taught varying levels of freshman English at EKU after working two years as a writing tutor at EKU's new Noel Studio for Academic Creativity.

I have a lot of experience in teaching and tutoring. I have tutored for about 10 years now, starting with my fellow classmates while still in school and now tutoring one-on-one, mostly for elementary-aged children. I also teach - I conduct a teenage choir, taught at a Ukrainian school for 7 years (grammar, writing, reading, vocabulary), and give individual piano lessons. I've received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education and have had some experience teaching all grades K-5. I am currently working on my Master's as a Teacher Leader, with an endorsement in ESL.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : If one can read and understand Shakespeare, that is the hardest poetry to comprehend. I taught this subject almost every year I was in education.

I am a teacher that makes sure her students understand the basics, then we build on that. No one is a great writer unless he/she doesn't have an appropriate grasp of the fundamentals. It's like trying to master shooting a three point shot in basketball without knowing how to hold the ball or dribble. I have always been told by students that I am the best teacher they ever had because I don't assume they know anything. I evaluate exactly their proficiency in the subject, and tailor lessons to where they are in their understanding. Also, even though my students may be older, they still want our sessions to be fun! There's a way to make anything "fun," and I know how to do just that. A former gifted and talented instructor as well, I am very creative, so there is no "sleeping" in my sessions!

While in college, I tutored in French for three years. I also provided assistance to numerous classmates with the editing of papers, both in English and French. I am widely read and am in the process of obtaining my Masters in Literature. I am currently in the process of editing a military manuscript.
I like to encourage students to be actively engaged in the subject. Using positive reinforcement, I enable children to enjoy the learning experience and to feel as though they are a success.

I am not much a tutor, but I like helping other people. I enjoy making people happy and teaching them things that will help them later on and I try to make learning fun and relevant to everyone. I am good with arts and enjoy movies and music and stuff like that which is an added bonus, so I can be more than just a teacher.

I really like the Sanskrit word, “Namaste,” which I consciously use as a point of guidance in encountering people. One interpretation or meaning of this word is: The Light in me sees the Light in you. I want to honor others so that I can be of better service to them. If I am asked to tutor anyone, young or old, I hope that this can be the foundation of our meeting so that the learning process is a joyous one. I have the tools to help assist in this learning, both academically and intuitively. I am also willing to learn and glean what is valuable and helpful for my own experience. The journey to Wisdom is interactive.

I try as hard as possible to interest and engage the student in science by finding good learning opportunities in the lab, in the field and in the daily news. I am convinced that the natural world is a wonderful place that should be interesting to anyone. Once the student can find something of interest out there,we can use that as an entrance to other aspects of the science.
As a student at MIT I earned my BS and MS degrees simultaneously in a five-year period. I worked primarily in the oil industry with major geological responsibilities on the Alaska North Slope and the North Sea. I have published over 50 technical articles and papers in my field. After my oil industry work I taught high school physical science in Kentucky for 10 years, including earth and space science, physics, and chemistry. I founded and coached the Berea Community High School Academic Team, to district a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my two years attending graduate school at Ohio University, I was responsible for teaching an introductory college course. Aside from the mandated textbook, I developed and distributed all course materials, including in-class lectures, classroom exercises, course examinations, and other various learning materials. I assisted the students in properly parsing and formulating an appropriate answer to each assignment, as well as clarifying their own conceptual understanding of the course material. This heavy emphasized one-on-one instruction with individual students who found the material exceptionally challenging, and was done multiple times per week.
I love to learn and love to share that joy with others. I try to be clear and precise as possible in my explanation of course content, but I try to avoid blatantly giving a student an answer to a question. I feel the best way to le ... read more
