Specializing in Out-of-the-Box Thinking for All Learners

Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged birth to twelve. I am now in my second year as a Special Education Teacher at a private school in DC that specializes in working with children who have Learning and Emotional Disabilities. I hold my M.Ed.HD in Special Education from GWU and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During the summer, I serve as the Behavior Intervention Specialist for Fairfax County Park Authority in Inclusion camps. Even in high school and college, I tutored peers and proofread papers. Currently, I tutor clients in Clinton, MD twice a week, and in Alexandria twice a week, so I m able to take on clients in/near those locations. In addition to tutoring, I am ... read more

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I have taught several sections of creative writing; in addition I am a published poet and have several writing projects underway.

My instructional experience includes over 230 credit hours of composition and language arts instruction, including creative writing, literary analysis and Shakespeare. However, most of the instruction has been focused on composition. I developed a bachelor level English course for Pearson Education, working as a writer on a team of three; the course was deployed nationally at over 100 campuses.
Interactive! Students need to apply what they have learned, to reinforce the learning cycle.

I studied Languages for four years at University. I was about to get a degree in English and Portuguese when I moved to the US. I taught for one year. I worked in 3 different schools, in all of them, the subject was English. I have no experience teaching Portuguese outside of college, but I am planning to find students to change that. I have good grammar and comprehension knowlege and also, I'm brazilian, so, in case of pronunciation and the rest, I'm good.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! I took a creative writing class for two years in high school. I feel that I have a very creative mind and I have good writing composition. I received an A in the class both years.

I am now a sophomore at Germanna Community College. I have taken Algebra, Biology, English, Contemporary Mathematics, and various psychology courses. I am continuing to take more math and science classes. As a high school student I took Algebra I and II, Biology, Duel Enrollment English, and various other courses. I have received high grades in the classes I have mentioned. I feel that the college courses are my strongest points, but high school English and Algebra are strong points for me as well. I have tutored various friends, mostly in Algebra. I have a college GPA of 3.8 and I am in an honor society. I feel that I could help many struggling students with various courses with my experience in these subjects.
What I try to do first is get the student to work out the problem, and as they are doing that I will work the problem as well. We will go over our answers together so I hav ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring experience has included working for Advanced Learners LLC, and working in a Middle School tutoring students during their study hall. The main group of students that I have worked with include Middle School aged students, but I also have experience working with Elementary aged students as well.

one on one
With more than 3 years of experience in French and English tutoring, I have developed effective teaching strategies to make students fully benefit from my lessons. Those strategies consist of explaining complex grammar concepts using real-life contexts, arousing students' interest in the material at hand, and encouraging students to continually practice the language. I have been tutoring college freshmen and sophomores at the Northern Virginia Community College since 2011. Concurrently, I have also taught elementary and high school students. I currently work as a language lab assistant at NVCC. In that capacity, I review and edit students’ French and English oral assignments. P.S. I prefer one-on-one settings. As always, I pledge to make my students' learning experience as smooth and fruitful as possible. Nils K

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I am previous book author and am well-published. Therefore, I am a considered expert in creative writing.

I believe in tutoring so that the child receives feedback and fully understands his/her own limitations and how to overcome obstacles in class. Many children lack positivity in the methodology! I also believe that using art instruction helps children to learn in a more creative manner.
I have over of 30 years of progressive experience in tutoring young children in the elementary years of education in all subject matter areas. My specialty is literacy and reading, but I am also adept in teaching all of the math curricula as well. I also firmly believe that teaching organizational skills and proper research methodologies are very important for the classroom today--and every child needs these skills in order to excel in the classroom and survive. I am also a qualified art teacher in the NOVA area.

QUALIFIED TEACHER & EXPERIENCED TUTOR CELL: 5713159833

I have been tutoring for nearly two decades; having lived and taught both in the U. S. and abroad. I am a highly qualified teacher in Elementary & Middle School & also in Special Education. I have had all successful experiences working one to one to teach, review, and reinforce skills in all subject areas in K.G. to 7th grade. I am patient and kind and can keep a student focused for each lesson by breaking down concepts using time frames to maintain attention.
I not only help my students understand the subjects in which they are being tutored, but I also teach them important study skills and help them build confidence in their own abilities. One is never too young or old to enjoy the benefits from tutoring, and it is often a question of just a few months or even weeks before students are back on track.

My instructional approach emphasizes interactivity, use of new technologies, and a positive, "we can do it" philosophy that acknowledges writing s a process that starts with the creation of ideas, moves to refinement and revision, and ends with emphasis on correctness. In this approach, students who find writing challenging often discover that an emphasis on writing freely and creatively along with a focus on critical thinking skills, is the fastest way to improved written content and technique.
I offer 16 years of English writing instructional experience. I have taught a diverse range of students, both in terms of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Instructional areas include English as a second language, developmental concerns, creative writing and poetry (I am a published poet), professional and technical writing. I have also provided SAT and AP preparation tutoring.

More About This Tutor...

I taught in the Wright City RII School District for 26 years, at both high school and middle school level. During that time I taught everything from English and American literature to basic grammar and writing skills. I also taught some reading classes. I have extensive experience in writing research papers and strong skills in grammar and punctuation. I was an assistant principal for two years, and helped develop a reading program for the middle school. As a professional teacher tutoring students was an essential part of ensuring success for many of my students.
I believe all children can learn. A good teacher tries to find each child's individual learning style and accomodate lessons to match it. I also think learning should be fun, so I use a lot of games and other incentives. I am patient, have a good sense of humor, and have age and the experience of being the mother o ... read more
