My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten.

Holding active NYS certifications in both English and Literacy has had a tremendous impact on the way I teach. I find myself much better able to engage struggling students. Quite often, particularly when it comes to reading, it is the lack of basic comprehension skills that prevent students from being able to fully engage with a text and to perform critical thinking tasks. My experience in diagnosing and instructing students at various stages and abilities of literacy acquisition has helped me garner a talent for overcoming this challenge, and propelling students into higher order thinking.
As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will serve students not only in the classroom, but throughout their lives. In my experience, I have become well-versed in student-centered curriculum develo ... read more

Writing Skills is one of my top subjects! Encouraging instruction from a quality tutor can help students realize the full extent of their talent and ability. As evinced by my professional and scholarly background, I maintain a sincere enthusiasm for the development of reading and writing proficiencies. After earning a juris doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law — during which time I worked as a staff writer for a legal news publication — I subsequently established a freelance writing and editing business. Collectively, these experiences involved extensive practice in advanced English composition, journalism, legal writing, scholarly research, news media, proofreading, and editing. With experienced instruction, there is no doubt your student can achieve great literary success.

I am patient, confident and intent on building confidence. We all have the ability to learn; that some subjects come easier to others has nothing to do with our individual abilities. When teaching essay writing, the most difficulty students have is forming a narrow thesis statement. Their next challenge is to write 3 or 4 statements following their thesis, which is what they will prove in essay form. I use simplicity in approach. I build confidence. I also use my own modified Socratic method of teaching students how to narrow down the thesis statement. I have met with success every time.
I have written curricula and taught/tutored students of all ages and backgrounds for twenty-five years. As an English high school teacher in Harlem, NYC, I taught students how to write essays, concentrating on the research paper. I have tutored ESL. I have taught verbal SAT prep.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style has two main tenets. First, I believe that students should be the focus of instruction. I facilitate learning best when I discover how students process information, for I am able to present information in uniquely meaningful ways. Therefore, I encourage discussions and ask questions regularly, and change teaching strategies promptly as needed. Second, I believe that students learn best from actively engaging the material. When students comprehend and utilize new information according to their own perspectives (versus memorizing), they increase the likelihood that the information will become permanent knowledge. Therefore, I alternate between presenting information and providing time for students to create examples.
I am very passionate and knowledgeable about the field of English. In my opinion, writing well and reading critically comprise the foundation of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because of my profession, I have developed a talent for simplifying and explaining complex ideas. I have also learned over the years that math is a language, and should be taught as one. So it is my approach to first understand a student’s way of thinking and processing problems. I can then help them merge new mathematical concepts into their point of view. It is a matter of patience and flexibility, of which I have acquired from my years of experience. I have yet to face a student I could not help.
I have always had a love for math and science. In college I shared that enthusiasm by tutoring classmates in calculus, physics and chemistry while earning a BS in Industrial Engineering. I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer in the pilot of the now nationally acclaimed “The Algebra Project.” This program introduced a new approach to teaching kids algebra. I have since applied my tech ... read more
