I have taught in the public school system for over 7 years at all grade levels from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I have had multiple stories featured in various publications

Hands-on/in the field
I have been a professional print/broadcast journalist for roughly 15 years. I am a perpetual student and am currently finishing my bachelors in communications online at the University of Tampa and have been accepted in their Master of Fine Arts program for Film Studies. An MFA is a terminal degree, so I will be qualified to teach on a collegiate level upon graduation. As reality often transcends policy, I currently take interns from a local SUNY institution and mentor young broadcasters, so as technology evolves, I will as well. My main body of work is primarily broadcast, but I regularly produce print articles for both online and print publications. From developing concepts for solid stories to completed final products, I am adept at producing both broadcast and print work.

More About This Tutor...

I am a big believer in stationed teaching concepts. A student must first, learn through audio and visual styles of learning through teacher-student interactions. I work on vocabulary strategies and skills next. The proper vocabulary background for any subject area should be clear and concise to the student. We next work on concept mapping, and linking common themes. There is a process to every step of learning. I will review often to look for missing concepts. Finally, independent learning is another station that is vital important. Assessing how a student can complete tasks on their own gives me an idea how well the instruction is going. I will learn and adapt from my own mistakes in instruction when needed.
As a former Principal, Teacher, and Social Worker, I bring 23 years of experience when working with students. My success includes working with children with multiple levels of ... read more

I love teaching and helping kids. I have been around a lot of kids all my life, and maybe I am not a people person, but kids seem to love me. I am a very patient person, and I would love to tutor your student. I also believe that kids can excel as long as they get proper help when needed. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Everyone goes through a hard time when they are teenagers, and I believe I can help. I have an older brother who was struggling through high school, and I helped him to graduate. My younger sister is now in high school, and I help her anytime she needs it.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and believe that all students can be successful and learn. I consider it my responsibility to reach each and every student, to present material in a relevant manner, and to involve students in their own discovery and learning processes. I use a variety of techniques and methods, including activities, projects, and discussions to engage students in learning. One of my greatest strengths as a teacher is my positive rapport with students; I respect them as young learners, believe in them and their abilities, and genuinely enjoy working with them each day. I have found that they respond positively to that energy and enthusiasm and their successes reflect that.
I have fifteen years of classroom teaching experience, including eight years of teaching Advanced Placement English. Additionally, I have served as a Reader for the Advanced Placement English Langu ... read more

I have won writing contest and have published many letters to the editor. During the last 6 years I have tutored students seeking to obtain their GED, in all subject areas.
Learning and teaching is my passion. In high school it ws teachers with the same passion that made learning fun and encouraged me to achieve academic success. Most any subject can be made interesting if approached the right way. Mostly it is about patience and good respectful communication. I especially cherish working with young children who are usually starving ... read more

Once I am assigned a child I initally spend time going over a typical homework assignment to see where they are having some trouble. I get them to read out loud to me to see what their level of reading is. Some kids have problems sounding out the words or with simple rules of grammar. Once I see where they are at then I start bringing in some workbooks to help them in that particular area and apply that to their homework.

I talk; I listen. I let students take the lead and articulate their informed opinions so they can cultivate better critical thinking skills. As a tutor, I ask the tutee what s/he wants/needs to work on and we focus first on those aspects of the writing. I like students and I think it shows in both my teaching and tutoring style. I especially like tutoring because I can work one on one with the same student(s) over and over.
I have thirteen years experience teaching writing from remedial to advanced levels. I was a tutor at Idaho State University throughout my masters and doctoral degrees and have tutored face to face and online. I have an extensive background in teaching and tutoring methodologies and practices. I have tutored students from the high school level to the masters level. In addition, I have a background in reading instruction from my undergraduate degree in ed ... read more

I began teaching in fifth grade when my science teacher conceded that I knew more about sharks than he did, so when we got to that lesson, I took over for two days. In tenth grade, I had an internship at my high school teaching ninth grade Global Studies. When I graduated college, I began substitute teaching while I wrote my first few novels. I have substituted in every major subject at the high school level. I have also been an adjunct professor teaching study skills and business english at a local college.
I tend to prefer lectures combined with textbook assignments as opposed to teaching either using films, powerpoint presentations or computers. I work best with motivated students, even those with lower abilities, though I teach exclusively at the high school level and above. I am patient and one of my greatest assets is in analology; I have a profound ability to take comp ... read more
