My comments on tutoring Composition : I have always done well with composition, and have received training during my education and job experience as a secretary. I have also written, but not published many essays, which have been received well.

Relaxed, personal, but concentrate on learning, making progress at student's pace and level of achievement. I will try to make learning fun and interesting.

Composition is one of my top subjects! As a writer, speaker, White House correspondent, consultant, and freelance journalist, I am highly experienced in composing engaging and effective content on a wide variety of subjects. I write two articles of 800 to 1,200 words apiece for thediplomat.com, reaching an international audience of up to 800,000 readers with each piece. I would love to teach that skill, and its associated fundamentals, to your student.

As a journalist, I have had the privilege of reporting from the White House Briefing Room many times during last few years. Since the 1990's, I have researched, consulted, and designed numerous international business and government-related projects. For the last 4 years my articles on China have been published by "The Diplomat", www.TheDiplomat.com. Having lived in China for many years, I am qualified to tutor in Mandarin Chinese. In my early career years, I tutored international students in English. As a small business owner, I know how to market and build brands. I look forward to being useful to you and your student.
Personalized, sensitive to the student's needs, fun, and encouraging. At the same time, disciplined and goal-oriented throughout.

More About This Tutor...

Community Service professional with years of private industry experience. Excellent oral and written communication skills, demonstrated interpersonal skills, and proven community outreach expertise. Skilled in educating individuals, coordinating resources and taking initiative in projects. An integral member of any staff, able to effectively serve organizational needs in building alliances and achieving stated goals.
In my experience as a teacher in the church,I have worked with a variety of students from young to old, from very intelligent to the mentally challenged. Thus I have learned to be flexible. One style does not suit all. With one on one or a small group, the ability to change to fit the student population is extremely important. Especially with composition, it is important to help students be able to write about what they see and feel. I think I can do that,

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching the writing process.I love working with all children, and I firmly believe that all children can learn to become great writers when they find out what the discipline expects of them. I am very patient and considerate of childrens needs; as some are hands on learners, some are visual learners, some need a scaffolding approach to writing, or simply need to know organizational approaches to writing...so I attempt to meet the student where they are in the learning process and provide them the nurturing approach, and healthy environment. I seek to enable them to be confident in their abilities, and help them achieve their writing targets.
I have been teaching four years. I am a highly driven person and expect a lot of myself as well as my students. I earned a BA degree in English Literature, and a Master of Arts degree in English/Creative writing from Wayne State ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Education has always been one of my greatest facinations. I achieved a BA in English grammars, a MLA in creative writing, and fifteen credits towards a PhD in literature and literary criticism. I discovered the writing center at my undergraduate university and became a tutor immediately. I found that I was in a position to learn just as much at the students I tutored. Over the past twelve years, I have continued that facination with learning in voluntary tutoring sessions.
I believe in the program of teaching across the curriculum. As a teacher to be, I believe that students are much more willing to participate in writing goood papers when it is in a subject that has meaning for them. If this is not possile, I take an approach to the topic in order to make it more interesting, especially when there are such good internet resources today. I am a fun educator who takes great joy in h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the last seven years, I have taught and tutored English to adults who speak other languages. In the last two years, I have added tutoring students in grades 3-12. While teaching English as a Second Language at a local college, I was a lead lab instructor for two years. Students work with me on pronunciation, reading, writing and grammar. They also work on improving their test taking skills. I have a Masters Degree in the area of Child Development and Family Life, and a Bachelors Degree in the areas of History and English.
We do not all learn to speak, read and write languages in the same way. Some of us learn by mostly hearing or saying; some of us learn by mostly seeing and looking; and some of us learn by mostly doing, using touch and moving parts of our bodies or things. I use all three ways to learn when helping others improve their English. I use hearing, seeing and doing ... read more
