Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Surry, VA

I vary it the best I can to accommodate the student, though I believe that the most important factor is that the student be guided through the process and never just given the answer or denied explanation. As a graduate of university level education from the English field, I have written a great deal and have been extensively exposed to the writing process. A great deal of my education was focused on Education/Teaching in the event I decided to apply my degree in such a manner. I have some experience with students in the formal classroom environment as well as the one-on-one setting.

I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to pick out something from the myth that is relevant to today (like from "The Iliad," the character Ajax is known as being stronger than Greece, and the soap brand Ajax has the slogan of being "stronger than grease"). I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature. I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections. As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was

I am a very patient person, and I like to help. It may take a session or two, but I'm confident that I can adapt my teaching style to meet your needs. I am a 2011 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science. During my education, I was exposed to many subjects, ranging from Electrical Engineering to European Literature. The most important things I learned during my time there were time management and study skills, because without a strong foundation in those subjects, one can not excel in others.

While attending Mary Baldwin College, I not only majored in English, but also worked as a tutor in the school writing center. As a tutor, I worked with students (freshmen-seniors) on basic editorial skills, correct punctuation, and the overall writing process (brainstorming, rough drafts, final copies, etc). However, my experience does not only tend to the college level - I have also worked with children in middle and high school for SAT prep, reading comprehension, and grammar. I usually like to meet with a person and understand their basic needs, before I decide which was to approach their tutoring - not every person learns the same way, so I approach each situation differently.

I only really have experience from this from high school, and some personal experience in college. I am currently an English major, specifying in creative writing, at Virginia Tech. In high school, I took both of the offered AP English courses and passed with a 4 on both. In college, almost every class I have taken has been English-oriented, with regards to either literature or writing. When it comes to helping others, I have been editing friends' papers some in high school and multiple times weekly in college. I am able to find what they are doing wrong and constructively advise ways to fix their problems with writing. I like to see examples of what the person is having difficulty with in order to pinpoint problems and then work on them from there.
