English Tutor: Critical reading and writing skills

I tend to have a hands-on approach to all of my tutoring methods, regardless of the subject. I want to make learning fun and take the stress out of tackling a challenging subject. I attempt to make any subject relatable to the student I am tutoring, and to provide multiple examples that are easy to understand. I break down seemingly complicated processes into simple and easy to remember steps.
My name is Jessica Grilli and I am currently a student of the University of California at Davis. I am majoring in English and minoring in Sociology and Education, as my future goal is to become a high school English teacher. I have seven years of experience tutoring students of all ages from elementary school to college level. I am great with kids, having grown up with seven brothers and sisters, and I have a passion for education. My areas of expertise are tutoring in critical reading and wr ... read more

My comments on tutoring SAT - Verbal : Let's work together to increase your chances!

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

Make school work.

Not all students are successful and the trick is to identify the reasons behind the lack of success. The issues that students have with school are diverse; procrastination, lack of organization, failure to plan, lack of awareness, ineffective habits, learning disabilities, and differences are all possible explanations for school failure. I work with students one on one to help them pinpoint where things break down for them and then work with them to find strategies to help them manage the skills and material they are asked to learn and master. I am there to guide, not just instruct.
I have been in education for 16 years. I specialize in working with students with ADD/ADHD, specific learning disabilities as well as students who underachieve. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and have successfully worked with students all over the Bay Area to help them realize their ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go ... read more

USC Graduate Offering SAT/ACT/College App/K-12 Tutoring

I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many ... read more

I started Bucknell as an Education Major, and then switched to English Literature. I spent one semester as a teaching assistant, and worked as a student literary journal editor. I won two poetry prizes, one given by my student peers, and one by the English faculty. Post-college I entered law school at Tulane. I practiced law for 20 some years. In those years I taught CLE classes for attorneys, as well as in-house sessions for employees of a firm for whom I was General Counsel. After Katrina my legal career was greatly attenuated, and I supplemented my income by tutoring LSAT preparation, and by writing and editing for an SEO company. I am adept at standardized test taking, scoring in the 98th percentile on the LSAT. Due to the economic climate in New Orleans, I moved to California in December of 2008, and am currently working as a substitute teacher.

After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts.

I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching.
I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence w ... read more

I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time.
I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.

As an engineer and mathematician I have experience in all areas of Aerospace engineering,including management and mentoring of engineers over much of my 44 year career at Lockheed Martin. I have also tutored math, phyics, and other related subjects.
My approach to teaching math and science is to thoroughly prepare a student by first emphasizing the fundamentals. Too many students get "lost" if advanced concepts are taught too soon. Then, once a student is ready, the studies should emphasize the students strengths and interests to the utmost possible.
