My comments on tutoring Literature : Literature is a broad subject with many niches, so it is easier to just mention the areas I am most proficient, and leave out the ones I am not. I know quite a bit about British Romanticism, of the poets Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and I know about the cultural and intellectual changes that these poets were concerned with. I also know a lot about modernism, which is the early 20th century movement, involving James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and the poets Eliot, Pound and others. Walt Whitman is a paticular favorite poet of mine, on whom I can elaborate a great deal. Literature of course is so broad that I have a lot of experience in other places, but I am not expert enough in all of those places to feel confortable tutoring them, though those mentioned above, I am okay with.

My name is Eric Fisher Stone and I graduated with B.A. from Texas Christian University in the summer of 2008. I attended graduate school directly after, and acquired 20 graduate hours and the University of Idaho’s MFA in Creative Writing Program where I taught freshmen composition. I currently live in Fort Worth, Texas in the zip code of 76133. My main areas of expertise are creative writing, and poetry. I can also teach fiction writing because I have some experience in that as well, having a fiction publication in Descant, Fort Worth’s Journal of Fiction and Poetry. I maintained, in my English major, a GPA of 3.7. My knowledge of literature overall is pretty solid and it is strongest in British Romanticism and American Transcendentalism (meaning American poets like Whitman and thinkers such as Emerson and Thoreau.) With Shakespeare, the plays I am most knowledgeable in are, “A Midsummer ... read more

Everyone needs help now and again!

I have worked with children ages 5 and up for a few years now. I have 3 siblings all 8 years or more younger than me, and have had lots of experience with children in elementary school. I have tutored middle school students after hours, and have worked with Special Needs children throughout my summers and within my school.
I find most children at young ages are visual learners, but I am easily adjustable to many teaching styles to fit the students needs.

Literature is one of my top subjects!

I taught freshman composition at Texas A&M Commerce and Paris Junior College. My primary focus in graduate school was literature. Much of my studies related to children's and adolescent literature. The study of composition and compositional theory made up a secondary focus of my studies. After graduating, I worked in the sales and management fields and assisted students in the community in writing speeches for competition and personal statements for college applications.
I prefer working one on one with students and in group situations I utilize a collaborative learning approach.

Read More About Regina W...

I am convinced that for students to succeed in their education and in life they must have a firm foundation in reading and writing. Without mastering these basics it is nearly impossible for them to move on to a higher learning level. It is my desire to not just improve test scores, but to inculcate a passion for literature, reading and history. I believe that learning should be fun and that a teacher's enthusiasm and energy and excitement with the curriculum are critical to motivating students to learn. Additionally, as a teacher, I am committed to remaining current with any new, progressive learning strategies, teaching methods and resources, and the latest technologies, that would advance the learning experience.
I am that highly qualified professional who is prepared to take on the challenging and yet rewarding position as a teacher of English or Social Studies. I am a mature ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for language and rhetoric. Words, truth, knowledge, and exploration have marked my academic career. I studied with two colleges during my Associate years in order to obtain lessons in Japanese. I took my passion for language into history with pursuits in Latin and Greek while attending the College of Saint Thomas More. I have offered consistent and helpful tutoring to youth and classmates over the past four years. I have specific experience with Theology, Philosophy, Literature, Rhetoric, Latin, Greek, Japanese, and Anatomy.
I enjoy the wonders of discovery and assisting others with master concepts and practical logic that helps them in every aspect of their lives. Tutoring is not so simply as to aid a child in finding the answer or getting a college student to pass the examine. It is truly the disciplined approach to knowledge and truth that allows one to branch i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BS from LeTourneau University in Business Management, and have more 48 college hours in Science, English and History. I have been accepted in an Alternative Path to Certification program with A+ Texas Teachers. I have completed the 80 hours training required by Texas and passed the NCLB tests: TExES Science 116 (4 -8), TExES Special Education 161 (EC-12), and the Arizona Biology 07 (9-12). My classroom experience was acquired during 3 1/2 years of teaching science in a high risk high school in Phoenix, AZ. At the school I help enrich the science department with movies, flash cards, outside actives, and plays. I tutored reading, and writing for the state of Arizona. I was also approved to teach math in Arizona.
I have learned most people achieve best in a fun and interactive environment. Learning games, role modeling, flash cards, art, and music are a few tools that are ... read more
