My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I have taken many creative writing courses and I write as one of my hobbies.

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.

As a teacher, one of the most important things I can do is create a community of learners, which helps me determine how to assess my students. Creating a community of learners allows me to open up the door of connection between my students and myself.I have earned a degree in Journalism and finishing up with my degree and certification in English and Secondary Education. During the last eight years, I have been tutoring inner city students in English, writing,math, and reading.
One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing each one of my students grow as an individual and academically.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I wanted to give back to my students what was given to me. "A chance to to learn and grow". For me, it seemed only natural to obtain a career in the area of my first love "TEACHING". I teach because it's who I am and what I do. When I see my ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate from Illinois State University, I completed 100+ clinical hours of observing, tutoring, and teaching lessons in the classroom. I have worked with students from ages 3-18, giving myself a wide variety of experiences. I student taught in an urban high school setting over a period of four months. In addition to my own classroom work as a college student and teaching literature and composition while student teaching, I am an avid reader and writer. My strengths are literature, composition, and grammar, but I can also help with psychology studies, as I was a psychology minor.
Being a psychology minor, I have learned in depth the importance of teaching to multiple intelligences. I know that some students respond to lecture while others can only respond to more hands-on activities. Incorporating a variety of teaching methods, along with relevant materials is the best way to ... read more

My recent training through the nationally ranked Illinois State University English Education Program required me to work with a wide range of learners (from advanced placement students to those with learning disabilities). Therefore, my ability to differentiate instruction has certainly been polished. Prior to this training, I completed a teaching internship in which I assisted, tutored, and created lessons for young learners. Most recently I have gone through a literacy tutor training program, which provided me with extensive knowledge on how to better help students succeed in reading, writing, and math. Such preparation has allowed me to become even more enthusiastic about passing on to others my passion for academic success.
I would describe my teaching style as innovative, flexible, and passionate. After observing and working with countless students, I have realized that every ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BS in journalism, and a specialization in advertising/integrated marketing communications. I also have minors in English and psychology. As a result of studying both journalism and English, I have an extensive background in writing. I have tutored ESL students to learn to read and write in English.
My teaching style involves demonstrating how to understand a problem or perform a task before I ask the student to do so. By facilitating students in such a way, I believe they have a more one-on-one learning experience, as opposed to a strict lecture setting. With guidance and demonstration, I believe it is easier for students to learn without pressure.

More About This Tutor...

As a very creative person myself, I strive to bring that creativity to my teaching. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present a lesson to my students. I believe students should be fully engaged in what they are learning as often as possible, and not just passively listening to a lecture. I bring an energetic approach to teaching that is often filled with humor, though I am never condescending to a student. I always look at each student as an individual and try to discover the best way of teaching that person.
The majority of my tutoring experience took place at Northern Illinois University from 2007 to 2008. There I worked in the NIU Writers’ Workshop, tutoring freshman students with assignments from their English classes. I worked with the same students each week (usually one or two at a time for 50 minutes) on both personal narratives and research papers. Since thi ... read more
