I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

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 accomplishment I am attempting to achieve by transferring credits over from The Community College of Rhode Island. While attending UNH, I wrote for the school's newspaper, The New Hampshire, edited my fellow writer's work, and eventually went on to intern and temporarily work for our local Valley Breeze.
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 p ... read more

Being a mother of three adult children and a new grandmother, I adore children. Teaching Sunday School over many years has also brought me great joy. I also personally relate to a child's individual method of learning because I truly believe we all learn differently. There are no stupid or dumb children, only unique minds. Being patient, kind, and encouraging are only a few of my strengths, and I believe I can help any child reach their potential, even when they do not.
I have two adult children who have had learning disabilities while growing up, and fully understand a parent's frustration in encouraging their child over these particular hurdles. I have a BS in Business Administration and achieved my degree over the period of nine years while working and raising my family. In addition, I have volunteered as a Sunday School teacher over a thirty year period, teaching ages 2-12 ... read more

I have a Bachelor Degree of Science with a triple concentration in Library/Literature/Sociology.

I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' from Eastern CT State University with a BS in Business Administration. My primary experiences has been in with high school and college students tutoring in more difficult subjects such as, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics, Geometry, Calculus, etc. However, I have worked with students of all ages.
My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participan ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an English instructor, I help students create a self-reflective dialogue with a variety of texts in order to improve their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. All of the essential components of college-level reading and writing depend on and follow from a dialogic model. The essential components of college-level writing such as developing a thesis statement, organization, paragraph structure, and grammar can be taught by harnessing the knowledge that the student already has and building on those skills in a way that recognizes their individuality and enables them to develop their own voice. I challenge students without presenting them with overwhelming obstacles and work hard for the appropriate balance among a combination of instructional methods that I believe accommodate different student-learning styles. I teach individual students rather than just courses. I am always ... read more

My love for reading and writing from a young age followed me through high school and college. By excelling in various courses, I had the opportunity to tutor a myriad of subjects in high school (particularly Science and Writing), and serve as a Writing Consultant at Bryant University since Freshman year. Outside of school, I have also assisted my friends and peers who have asked for my help in their individual writing assignments or projects. Having a diverse background in fields such as Finance, Accounting, and Cultural courses, as well as in languages such as Gujarati and Hindi, has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills with others.
I have always felt the need and want to help others, whether educationally or socially. As an immigrant who had to learn a new educational system, language, and lifestyle, I know first-hand how difficult a true and successful lear ... read more

I have recently graduated from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. While attending university, I studied various courses- natural science, social science, criminal justice, biology- but my true passion lies in foreign language. French and Portuguese were my primary languages studied. I am pleased to say that I was lucky enough to have studied abroad for a semester in Paris, France. Throughout my life, I have tutored colleagues (though in a non-professional setting) in foreign language.
My philosophy is that education should be as individualized as possible because people do not learn in the same manner. For instance, some people are visual learners while others, like myself, are auditory learners. I strongly believe that educators should expose their students to as many fields and ideas as possible. For instance, when I am teaching, I prefer to instruct students on ... read more

I am a recent graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BA in History and Social Sciences and a total GPA of 3.57. This plan of study exposed me to a wide variety of courses aside from history including psychology, English, computer skills, and sociology. Additionally, I have worked for more than 2.5 years as a teacher's aide. I began at LEARN and I currently work for Waterford Public Schools. My most recent position was in the high school; however, this next school year I will be located at Clark Lane Middle School.
I believe that children have different learning styles but they all benefit from positive encouragement from their teachers. I am patient and easy going and I enjoy helping a student reach their fullest potential. It is rewarding for both myself and the child and I feel such positive interactions can make a difference in their learning experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 employment in this field. I have worked in higher education for many years in the adult degree completion program assisting students with learning how to study, research, write papers and prepare to petition for life experience credit through their papers. I presently work for the State of CT in the Department of Mental Health and Addiction as a Client Rights officer and Advocate.
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. ... read more
