Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Yonkers, NY

I have been teaching and tutoring writing in almost every genre -- from the creative prose to business correspondence and memoranda -- since 1998. I started out tutoring students in anthropology at Hunter College and then landed a teaching position at a business school where I taught business English. In 2007 I enrolled in an MFA program at The City College and a year later began teaching freshman composition courses to engineering majors. I have references available from instructors and supervisors as diverse as the former dean of Hebrew Studies at CCNY to the supervisor of the SEEK Department's PAL Center. I do not have a teaching style as this implies that I or anyone can really teach another how to write. Writing is not taught in a way that science can be taught or grammar can be taught. Writing (and learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary lists are not learning how to write) is l

My teaching style is engaging. It is interactive communication where I try to draw on what the student already knows. I am unfailingly patient and polite and have experience with all kinds of learners. I have over 7 years experience tutoring students online for top online tutoring companies such as tutor.com. I have been officially approved to tutor over 80% of the courses in my tutor profile for these companies and have been told that I am an excellent tutor. I am routinely selected as a trial tutor to demonstrate these companies services to prospective clients.

I have been helping with other students in my past and I helped them get to a B and higher and with all the subjects I teach them they will be prepared for the state test. I like to make kids into bright adults that can make them a high class job. With all the information that I learned I think that I could use a little money for some materials to help other kids with there work and to help me get a good job using this as a part to help me on how im teaching the kids.

She is a brilliant writer, editor and human being, and I am proud to be her friend. Pretty good story, right? So, those emails worked.

The power of the written word is unparalleled and is a passion of mine beyond description.

Love to teach composition and writing. I have taught every student I have ever had, how to write argument papers, essays and stories. The first strategy that I use is building a relationship with the student by getting to know who they are, what there favorite things are, subjects, goals etc... This helps me discover what strategies I can use to help them learn. I also try to discover which learning method works best. Are they visual or auditory learner? Do they learn by having things taught step by step, or do they learn through visual or read aloud examples? I believe that every student has the ability to learn and to succeed; it is about finding the best strategy and providing that extra support. Being that advocate for students is the reason I went into school counseling. I have worked in both counseling positions as well as teaching in many different settings and with students rangi

I can help you create more targeted compositions. Either I can edit your work or guide you putting spoken words and thoughts onto the page. Mainly I will help you keep your writing goals in mind. My style is to give you time to work both in front of me and alongside me so I can assess what makes you a strong learner, meaning what best helps you remember a learning experience, and then we can use those skills wherever you have room for improvement. I have experience working in math and science as I do for work in a healthcare lab position. In all my schooling through college I tutored and studied in peer organizations, whether a French club in high school, biology society in college, or discussion of the material at hand. I have had some recent successful experiences tutoring in the community where I grew up (Hudson and Bergen County, NJ). Then my work in the spring with Reading Par
