Depends on student. Use visual as well as hard copy. Will to work with the student to determine the best way they learn. Will sit down with student and determine the best style of teaching for them.

English is one of my top subjects! I have taught over 200 credit hours of English on the college level.

Interactive! Students need to apply what they have learned, to reinforce the learning cycle.
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.

I have a highly customized teaching style. Typically, I assess a learner's strengths and limitations then we work together to create a learning plan that guarantees improvement. I strive to empower learners to take charge of their educational success by helping them set and achieve their goals.
I am an experienced tutor with intensive concentration on writing support. I have a Master's degree in Educational Psychology and I have worked as a teaching assistant at the university level.

All Things Writing!!!

In Writing... I generally give my students a mild assessment to see how I can best help them. I also conduct all of my own lesson planning. However, I am certainly accustomed to helping students with current academic work they may already have from their current classes. The first thing that I typically help students do is get pass the creativity block (if needed). Even I, like all writers have suffered from the inability to start my essay because I didn't know what to write about or how to collect ideas for my topic. So the first thing I do for my student writers is help them employ a couple brainstorming techniques to get their ideas going. The second thing I show my writers is what I call the Order of an Essay. This involves arranging and writing the ideas in the order that constructs a well-written essay. This is usually the biggest thing that most student writers strug ... read more

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

I love to incorporate art and sensory experiences into everything I do to really activate the brain. The "Drill and Kill" is very rarely appropriate, so I tailor every approach individually. What works for one student may not work with another. My formal training includes many intervention types and experience with multiple programs and curricula, so I have a large pool from which to draw...then we get creative! My style REALLY aims for those over-arching foundational skills like critical thinking, thought organization, and problem solving. I will also track and provide data to monitor progress and hold myself accountable for effectiveness.
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 ... read more

Read More About Nils K...

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

English is one of my top subjects! I majored in English at UVA.

I have a Bachelor's Degree from UVA in English Language and Literature as well as French Language and Literature. During my time at UVA, I studied abroad in France during one semester. I also was an English Teaching Assistant in French Public Primary Schools for 8 months this past year. As it was a limited contract, I am currently back in the States looking for ways to help others succeed in the academic subjects that I love.
