Literature is one of my top subjects!

I prefer an interactive approach to teaching. My goal is to help students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills by themselves, limiting their dependence on tutoring or other guidance. For younger children, I have experience teaching grammar in an innovative game-setting.
I'm a recent college graduate with two Bachelors degrees from Salem State University: one in English/Writing and one in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Applied Social Ethics. In college, I have won two essay writing contests within the philosophy department, and placed third in a university creative writing competition. I recently completed an internship that used innovative techniques to teach grammar skills to college freshman.

College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I prefer to work one-on-one with the student whose work I am editing. That way, I am able to explain my revisions and help them understand my reasoning behind making certain edits. I'm not, by any means, a hard-nosed individual, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure that the student learns something.
Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an acco ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.
I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you!

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a younger teacher, and it is important to me to do two things that a lot of instructors sometimes feel are mutually exclusive; develop a personal bond with my students and maintain a set of expectations for academic achievement. I am a witty, empathetic, and goofy person in my private life, and letting students glimpse that has been crucial to my success in teaching. I make sure to provide positive feedback and I prefer to frame mistakes in a positive way, while praising effort, in order to help students feel comfortable taking risks. Lastly, tutoring has taught me that holding your students to high standards can help them to feel great about themselves when they achieve what they might have thought impossible without help.
My experiences during and after college have been crucial to realizing my skill and joy in tutoring and teaching. I was fortunate enough to attend a sm ... read more

So my teaching styles are varried. As a tutor, one on one, we would be engaged in a conversation. My part would be to discuss the sublect of concern to the student. The student would ask questions, and we would end the session with a forcast of the next.
I have degrees that require me to do a lot of reading and writing. My career has been composed of teaching, reading and writing, as well as literature, at the Universities of Vermont and Connecticut. The teaching included freshman through graduate students - all levels of writing, in short. Much of it took place during individual conferences.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with those that want to learn and may be struggling or are trying to complete their tasks to be able to move forward. I am always looking for creative new ways to teach to all learning styles and to make learning fun and practical. I have worked with the disabled and elderly for years along with children so I have vast experience with different age groups. I am very friendly and approachable and an excellent researcher and networker so I if I don't know a way to solve a request I know how to find someone or someway to complete the task. I find all small steps as important as the large accomplishments.
As a social worker and advocate for many years I have always used my skills as an instructor and mentor. Most recently I completed my Master's in Teaching and State of Connecticut Elementary education certification which has allowed me to pursue employ ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor. Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three years and participating in the Just Read and Junior Achievement programs.
Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After earning my B.F.A. from V.C.U. (magna cum laude) with double minors in art history and Italian, I moved to New York and worked in the creative, behind-the-scenes world of theatre and television. After six years of production work my husband and I moved to Rhode Island, whereupon I fell in love with teaching. For the past two years I have attended Providence College, working towards a post-baccalaureate degree in English Language Arts and secondary education certification. During my studies at P.C. I have maintained the same level of academic excellence as demonstrated in my undergraduate coursework. In addition to student-teaching full time in Woonsocket, RI, I also teach adult education classes in academic writing and college prep.
My teaching style is organically structured, with an emphasis on scaffolding prior knowledge to new concepts. Being sensitive to the diversity of ... read more
