My comments on tutoring Composition : I am very good at helping write papers.

I have for many years helped friends and family when they have needed help with history papers, literature and writing homework, etc. I would love to assist others to achieve success in school as well. I can help with research papers or just regular homework. I am a history buff and enjoy reading history in my spare time so I can offer insight into history homework as well.
I am very patient when it comes to my teaching style. I try to use techniques that are compatible with my student's learning style. I never get angry.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I have previous experience writing for newspapers and magazines. Here is an example of my writing: http://www.hybridmagazine.com/music/0807/lollapalooza.shtml

Hello! My name is Dan, and I am an intermediate-level chess player who has four years of experience teaching chess to beginning students, and also an English teacher with six-plus years of experience teaching ESL in Taiwan. I am very passionate about my teaching and love to share what I've learned with my students! I have been playing chess for about six years, and have studied the game seriously for most of that time. I have raised my skill level to roughly 1500, and am very confident teaching the basics of the game to beginning players. I play regularly in chess tournaments and am very passionate about learning and growing, as a teacher as well as a player. I have had experience as a writer and editor, and am qualified to teach various aspects of writing, reading, and English.

I am not young enough to know everything

I agree with the concept that each person learns a bit differently, and even more so that as a tutor, I should try and find the most effective style for my tutee. My academic career also taught me the importance of setting time limits for each action item; and switching tasks to keep the mind sharp.
You will see from my resume below that I have strong experience in math, science, engineering and computers. It is worth mentioning that I am also skilled in english (5 on my AP World Lit exam) and art (voted most artistic in my senior high school class). I have also tutored at least 4 students in the past, and found it to be a successful and rewarding experience. Katharine P.

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied.
I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Often helped people with their papers and helped a student get into Medical School by helping them with their personal statement.

Science Tutor: General Biology (I & II) General Chemistry (I & II), Organic Chemistry (I) and Intro to Physical Science Creative Writing: Often reading and editing screenplays. I have written several novels, two feature length screenplays (working on my third) a 1-hour television pilot and the second episode to that television series.
My styles is based on open trust, open dialogue and discussion. I have found that the best way to teach is to promote an active learning environment where students have to participate and they can learn from their mistakes in a safe environment. Using my sense of humor, I create a fun place to learn.

My comments on tutoring Composition : In both school and work I have relied on advanced skill levels in writing. As a substitute teacher and tutor, I have been able to enhance students' ability to express themselves. Additionally I have received training for instruction in this area in my pursuit of a K-8 teaching license.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and adaptability to ensure a good fit between teaching and learning styles. Equal emphasis is placed on learning current material and the confidence for future learning. Teaching methods will vary depending on the skills, interests, and temperaments of each student.
Experience overview: 5-years experience as a substitute teacher, worked as a tutor for one year, volunteered to assist teachers in the classroom, and is in studying to become a licensed elementary teacher. Details I am currently in my fifth year of substitute teaching. The students have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and with varying degree of academic skills. I have had taught in all subject areas. In the classroom I strive to be well-prepared, organized, engaging, and accessible. I am on the preferred substitute list of many teachers and often I am cont ... read more

I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothersome phenomenon, children instinctively enjoy my company, which is ironic, because I try my hardest to keep them away from my physical person at all times. I know, also, that 'applicants', or whate ... read more
