Tutoring for: Writing, Reading, PSAT/SAT, ACT, GRE

I have worked at the Salem State University writing center for the last two years. At the writing center, I work with students on papers in all subjects, from math to English. My experience at the center has helped me develop methods for helping students plan and organize papers, and also for addressing grammar and style issues. I also have a lot of experience working with ESL students.
I consider myself a very laid back person and am flexible in terms of addressing the student's concerns. I primarily work in subjects related to writing. My training is in philosophy, so I tend to focus on helping students develop strong reasoning/arguing skills and a precise voice. I find that these skills, which are heavily emphasized in philosophical writing, carry over well into all forms of academic writing.

Compassionate Tutor with Legal Experience and Much More!

I am a graduate of Harvard Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. I have a diverse set of personal and professional experiences that make me a compassionate yet firm teacher. I have taught French to children and Legislation to law students at Northeastern University School of Law. Practicing as a corporate lawyer, family counselor and non-profit/in-house lawyer gives me a broad platform from which to tutor. Plus, I am more than a lawyer, I have a passion for all things food, and have recently rekindled my love for the stage as an actor. I am most proud of being a mother to a mostly well-adjusted fifteen-year-old daughter. We live in Somerville with three adopted animals, two cats and one dog.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and have had 11 short stories published. I also edited the award-winning children's book Lucas the Traveling Crab by David Rawding.

I try to empower students to learn how to improve their writing. I start by showing what works well, the strengths of the piece itself. I then show them what can be improved in the work with further revision. I often will use examples of first drafts of famous and acclaimed authors, and sometimes use my own work as an example of poor first drafts and how a work can improve with revision. I have a passion for writing and literature that is usually contagious.
I have over 15 years experience in a writing, editing, and reporting capacity covering news and publishing industries, and higher education. I also have formal training and education on how to edit, write and give formal, positive feedback for improving manuscripts and texts. My work has appeared in numerous publications and periodicals. I have written and edited internal medical and high-tech documentation, sports articles, l ... read more

As an instructor, my style is usually to help a writer discover what they are trying to say, even if they aren't sure of it. From there, we can tackle the point and purpose of their story, which will help all of the other aspects click together. I can recommend short stories or novels by writers who seem to have the same style as the writer I'm working with, and will work with them to examine the methods and techniques that these writers use how they may be beneficial to my own students work. Ultimately, my goal is to make sure that the writer creates exactly what he set out to create. Not my vision, not the vision of any other writer, but their own piece, something that is unique to their skills and could not have been created by anyone else.
I attended an arts specific high school where I completed an intensive 4 year creative writing program. During that time I was published sev ... read more

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I took a variety of creative writing courses both in high school and college, and have a strong passion for the subject. I am experienced in both storyline, plotline, and the various aspects of the creative writing process, such as character development or exposition.

I am currently a Sophomore at Northeastern University's College of Engineering, where I plan to receive a B.S and M.S in civil and environmental engineering with a minor in mathematics. My father is a teacher, and has taught me tutoring protocol. I have volunteered with families in my hometown to tutor elementary school and middle school students in a variety of subjects including mathematics and english/language arts. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with kids in educational settings, including tutoring elementary school students, participating in storybook readings at my local library, or introducing Boston public school students to the field of engineering at my current university. I have also worked with kids in the robotics field, and taught them basic computer programming.
My teaching style is mostly up to the client! I am very easy going and flexible, and can work with stud ... read more

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : Several published works in independent fiction publications. Two years experience as manuscript reviewer.

I graduated from Fitchburg State University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science in English and Professional Writing. I went on to become a staff writer for the Lowell Sun, a daily print publication in Lowell, Massachusetts. When I was laid off due to budget cuts, I wrote freelance for several entertainment and political publications. I also worked for an independent publishing company as a manuscript reviewer for a year. After deciding to move into education, I passed the Reading, Writing, and English Secondary Education M.T.E.Ls and received my Preliminary Teaching License. I have now completed my S.E.I certification course and have been working as a writing coach in Boston while finishing my Masters.I have also been writing and publishing works of fiction for the last three years.

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello! I am a young tutor that enjoys helping kids. I get straight As in school and I enjoy writing and math. I have a passion for writing and when it comes to writing, I go all out and become very creative. Math is also my passion. If I do not understand a problem, then I think of all possible ways to solve it until I know I got it correct.
I tend to analyze a question and do I answer them myself. Then I explain how I got my answer.

Any student willingly to learn, deserves a chance.

I am very patient and always help my students understand not just how to do it, but why we do it. I do not give up on students who struggle with work and I understand their needs. I am very smart and willingly to help any student in need.
I have tutored students before in the elementary and middle school grade levels. I have young siblings who I help out also. I do not have a degree in teaching but I feel that I provide the same amount of experience. I haven't had a lot of experience so I would like to gain more through teaching my new students.
