More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure. I already knew I liked them because I started babysitting when I was 11 and couldn't stop! Then in ninth grade, a neighbor failed kindergarten and asked if I would starting coming over several days a week to help him understand what was being taught. Needless to say, he made it to the first grade! I now have a 17 year old sister who is constantly asking for my assistance in her homework and it is with great pleasure that I assist her.
I have a background in Psychology, so I am extremely intuitive with what a person needs regarding their learning style. I am able to adapt my teaching style to their needs ... read more

"A writer is a reader moved to emulation." - Saul Bellow

I've never really tutored before outside of helping my classmates, but even still I excel when it comes to teaching others tactics for reading and writing. I am extremely patient and studious when it comes to helping others learn, especially children. I graduated a year earlier than I should have due to skipping a grade because of my reading and writing skills. I took two years of AP English (Rhetoric and Literature) in high school and scored a 4 (out of a maximum score of 5) on my AP exam. I also scored around a 1700 on my SAT, mainly excelling in the Reading and Writing portion.

My comments on tutoring Literature : American

I have a Masters of Library Science. I've been a Library Branch Manager and librarian in a public library for over 14 years, and have experience helping people from diverse backgrounds. I have successfully helped people with citizenship, resume writing, filling out job applications, interview skills, basic computer classes, database research, assembling bibliographic sources, writing, school reading lists, locating literary criticisms and helping with preparation of science fair projects. Published author under pseudonym.
I prefer the student to have a hands-on experience so that they can learn how to do the subject for themselves. I provide guidance, suggestions and best practices. I am patient, try to put the person at ease, and treat all people with respect.

Literature is one of my top subjects! Experience in World, American and British Literature. The tie-in to history and literature can be achieved through research and story telling. I am great with projects, essays and more.

I have taught at both the middle and high school level in the subject of English. Within that broad subject I have taught World Literature, British Literature, Creative Writing, Rhetoric, Composition and more. I am currently a Professor at San Jacinto College where I teach collegiate level Composition.
I have a hands-on approach to teaching. It is my desire to facilitate a student's own ability to self-teach, to solve and understand new problems as they occur. This type of teaching will not only improve whatever English and reading skills needing improvement, but will also translate into all other aspects of their education and life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very hands on teacher and my preferred method is to have the student read their work aloud while I follow along and edit. It's remarkable how much they begin to catch on their own. This is followed through with my own take on their work, pointing out the errors they missed and suggesting improvements, always in an encouraging manner.
I have over three years of professional writing experience. After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with my degree in Creative Writing I went on to serve as the President of the Houston Writers Guild for a full year and now serve on the Board of Directors at the Gulf Coast Federation of Writers. I have performed Freelance Editing since my graduation and led numerous Critique Circles for each organization I’ve worked with, learning to balance criticism with encouragement for optimal improvement.

Let me Guide Your Child

Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based.
I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.
