Writing tutor and Grammar instruction

I have more than twenty years experience in tutoring and teaching writing and grammar at both the college and high school levels. I am also a Latin and Chess tutor with many years experience in these subjects. I believe the best way to tutor is with patience, care and directness. I am clear, precise and challenging and can engage a group or one to one.

More About This Tutor...

When I teach, I try my best to be open minded, and to give choices to the student, rather than follow a closed-box cookie cutter curriculum. I've found it's important to find a personal way of learning for a specific student. Variety is important, because every child learns a little differently. Some kids learn by listening, others by seeing. Some kids learn only when they're making things. Encouragement and recognition when progress is attained by the student is a great incentive.
I'm currently a student in school who has had a wide range of experience in various different subjects, specifically working best with mathematics, science and language arts in the elementary and middle school level. I'm familiar with I've been doing my best to educate myself in as best as I can, not simply for the sole purpose of filling a resume, but for the sake of learning.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! I have written and self published two novels. Example of skills and proficiency are conveniently available; 20% of both books are viewable on Amazon.com and Smashwords.com. I publish a blog, which can be found at either www.celiakennedy.weebly.com or www.womanreinventsself.blogspot.com.

Dependent on student.
I spent thirteen years in college, and participated in many study groups. Every group has a person who leads, I have generally taken that role. I have also chosen professions where working in groups is the norm. I enjoy active problem solving, looking at all potential solutions, and digging for the best. I think these skills have lead me to being an exemplary employee. Officially I have only served as a tutor on a volunteer basis; for the last six years I have primarily dealt with elementary school aged children. However, I believe that I have more than sufficient skills to deal with all students.

Shakespeare tutor! Let me introduce you to the Bard.

I understand that there are many learning styles and there is no correct or right way to learn. I try to approach a subject from every angle. I have a passion for these subjects. If I have the knowledge and the ability to explain it then I want to. I want to open the doors for someone else to love them too. And if that is not possible then at least for them to understand what they are trying to learn. I have taught students with a variety of learning challenges and special needs.

The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just as a baseball player, regardless of inherent talent, will fail if they do not know how to hold a bat correctly, so will an English student fail, regardless of the inherent quality of their thought processes, if they do not understand how to properly structure an essay. Practice must thus be accompanied with structured guidance in order to ensure that a strong foundation is in place.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work environment and are pushed to be their best. This involves teaching through the Socratic method, of forcing individuals to answer their own questions. I believe that tutors and teachers should be providing students with the tools and skills they need to be productive students instead of giving away answers.
I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and b ... read more
