A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated with my Masters in Secondary English Education from Rivier University. I taught literacy to adults with special needs for two years, and I've been working as a substitute teacher at a high school since January. With an undergraduate and graduate background in English, I have developed a proficient grasp of the English language. I am an avid reader and writer, and I love to help others discover that they can become strong readers and writers.

Belief in the capability of every writer and reader.

Because of the unique style of education I have received, my idea of a great teacher is one who functions more as a mentor, working with the student through socratic dialogue and experiential exersizes. A tutor should not only help the student to progress academically in the subject area of focus, but to ignite the students passion for the subject so they will thrive independently after the sessions are over. A combination of activities geared specifically toward meeting academic goals, working through past educational blocks to develop problem-solving strategies for the student, and an ongoing exposure to culturally relevant/current happenings in the field of writing, will provide a multilayered and well rounded immersion into writing and poetics. Resect for the student and a belief in the capability of all learners are what truly set my educational practices apart.

I'm patient, soft-spoken and fair, but enjoy pushing my students to challenge themselves.

More About This Tutor...

I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.
I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.

My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them on track with their school's requirements, but also introduce them to better study habits that could help them excel in the classroom when they do return to school.

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a degree in English. I take pride in my ability to properly spell and use grammar efficiently. My experience writing reports and technical writing (grants and proposals) helped me come to the conclusion that people have a hard time expressing themselves. Thus, I decided to help people in their writing so they could explain how they were feeling, or just to get the great ideas they had in their minds down on paper. Using my creativity and skill for writing I have been able to use my knowledge and persuasion to write eloquently and convincingly.
Working with people has developed as a passion in my life. From an early age I have found myself looking for ways to improve the lives of people around me. I believe that everyone should have an equal chance to reach their academic potential no matter how far aw ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent material in as many different ways as are ultimately needed to ensure comprehension and success.

While attending Brown University, I volunteered as a tutor at Providence Summerbridge, an enrichment program for inner-city middle school students. I realized that teaching was my passion and became a full-time ESL teacher at an elementary school in Washington, DC while earning masters degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from American University. During the past three years I have been the 5th grade reading teacher at a school, which is part of the highest performing school system in DC. I raised my students' reading test scores from the 14th percentile to the 38th percentile in just one year.

I very much have a "hands-on" teaching style. I am a visual learner myself, so my teaching style reflects that methodology. I explain the concept, demonstrate the process, reintroduce the steps and then allow my students to practice, practice, practice while offering guidance, suggestions, and positive reinforcement. I am very aware that all students are different. What I have come to learn is that with patience and the desire to truly want each child to succeed, all students can learn. I am a veteran so I pride myself on being organized and disciplined. I am also a volunteer in nursing homes so I consider myself to be compassionate, patient and understanding.
I have been in Education for over 20 years. Most recently I have been a substitute teacher in all subject areas and grade levels. I have a strong Science background and I am a published author so I am proficient in Reading/ ... read more

While at Vassar during my senior year, I was employed by the music department as the music history intern. In this position, I was expected to instruct students enrolled in the current music history course once a week in new material as dictated by the professor. In order to prepare for this, I met with the professor prior, but often I was given freedom to design the lesson on my own. I also completed a correlate sequence in medieval/Renaissance studies, and took an array of history, art history, religion, gender studies, and English classes in addition to my required music courses. Being able to write well was crucial to succeeding in these, and I was able to develop confidence and aptitude in writing recognized by my professors.
I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with students so that we can start a dialogue of questions and suggestions that is beneficial to the student's unde ... read more
