My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Helping students develop, organize, and draft written works using "chunking" strategies and goal setting.

I have two years of experience working in public schools with children across a wide spectrum of ability. My role as school psychologist intern has prepared me to work individually with children in both regular and special education settings. I have also spent the past two years working with undergraduate college students at Tufts University to help them better their time management and study strategies. Working with students to assess barriers to learning and helping them overcome those obstacles is my passion.
I take a brief, solution-focused, strengths-based approach to working with children. I believe that there is much more to be gained from positivity, mutual understanding, and compassion than from mere drilling exercises or behavioral principle. I also believe that building a constructive and meaningful relationship with each individual student is crucial to the success of a ... read more

Ashley Frankian- Special Educator, Ell instructor

I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the ... read more

Typing and Writing Skills

I have not taught professionally, but I am more than capable of teaching someone. I am currently helping my mom with computers and typing, since she needs the skill for work. I am a very patient and understanding person that will do my absolute best. Ive also helped teach some of my co workers at my old job as a security officer. My supervisors would almost always assign me to train the newcomers.
I've taken writing classes at Northern Essex College. My typing has been about 30-35 wpm when i was younger, now I've increased my skill to 45-50 wpm and my wpm continues to increase. My typing and writing skills are high enough for me to teach them. I love seeing someone's skill improve over time. To when they first start as beginners until they reach that point of experts.

Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the improvment of self esteem and knowledge when people become heard and are understood in a positive environment. The miracle of comprehension is akin to nurturing, encouraging and challenging an individual to blossom and bear fruit that can be enjoyed and savored by many.
I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passio ... read more

I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By reaching out to the student and engaging with them as an individual, I am able to help them develop and understanding of the content which works best for them. If my student can walk away knowing not just more about their subject, but more about how they function as a learner, then I've done my job.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspect of teaching is next to assisting children develop their social, communication, developmental and learning skills. Creativity in this job is a must and I feel you need to be on the same level as your students to engage them in what you want to teach them. Not all students learn in the same fashion so I feel teaching the same facts but in different ways to target your audience is very key in education. From reading, to visual arts and verbal communication, I feel that they are all just as important as the next one and I would encompass them all into my style of teaching.
My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity ... read more
