A Little Bit About Me...

I have a B.A. in Film from CSU-Long Beach with an emphasis in writing and critical studies. I also completed two years of full coursework as an English and Classical Studies major. In 2006 I was awarded the grand prize in the CSULB Film Department's annual critical essay contest. I have served as a staff writer for the online culture periodical Bandoppler.com. I have been a writer since my earliest school days and I continue to pursue creative writing and literature studies in my own time. As a junior high and high school student I excelled in spelling and was the county runner-up in the Nevada spelling bee while in seventh grade.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Please see my abilities listed in the 'literature section above.

My teaching style and my hours are flexible and accommodating to the individual needs of each student. I like to cover all the bases, and keep things interesting. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
During my years teaching English literature, at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada, I quickly discovered that the most rewarding and effective moments between student and instructor occur in one-to-one meetings. The tutoring environment is the ideal classroom, where a single student’s learning needs, academic desires and questions can be fully catered to, fulfilled and explored. I have worked with first-year university students, middle school students, all levels of high school students, and older adults. My advanced education, extensive experience, sincere respect for my students, and genuine love and enthusiasm for literature and learning make me ... read more

Lauren -- Tutor Extroadinaire

Because English and literature is subjective, I use a nondirective approach to ensure that the student is exercising their creative problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. Basically, I ask them about their interpretation of the text or their own writing. With grammar, I typically model the correct use for the student two or three times, and then have them finish finding patterns and correcting mistakes themselves.
I've taken courses in tutoring, grammar, Shakespeare, and writing composition, as well as worked in the University Writing Center at my university as a writing consultant. I currently tutor three Middle Eastern students in writing composition, conventions of English grammar, and health. I do freelance proofreading and editing.

More About This Tutor...

I began working in the school setting in February, 2002. Initially I worked as a teacher's aide in the special education (K-5) classroom environment. Shortly after, I began to tutor after-school hours for one of the special needs students. The "parent network" took off and soon I was tutoring five students per week. In 2004, I returned to school for my masters/teacher credential program. Upon graduation, I worked for two years as a program director at a before-and-after school program and two years as a creative movement/dance instructor in the Vancouver School District.
My teaching style is to help make student's successful by understanding their learning style. I have had the good fortune of working with myriad learning styles in a special needs environment, (in the home and classroom) which runs from autistic spectrum disorder to talented and gifted.

I greatly enjoy helping students come to the “Aha” moments of understanding. Almost nothing gives me greater joy than seeing a student’s eyes light up as he or she makes connections between new and old information. I am very empathetic when a student feels blocked in his or her progress and work hard to find the element that will unblock the learning process. I am easy going and have a good sense of humor, while at the same time I am able to see educational objectives and focus on getting there. I think that every student can learn if they are given the right encouragement and skills. I do my best to do that for my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Building rapport with my students is key; if they know I'm dedicated to their success, they'll be more confident in asking questions and trying new approaches, taking an active role in their learning. I keep a stress-free atmosphere of empathy, patience, encouragement and understanding. To match my students' methods of learning I often draw and write my own examples while using other media to spark creativity. I guide students as they work and provide immediate feedback and solutions. In this way, they can build upon their lessons and continually sharpen their skills for success. It is extremely rewarding to see my students improve--I am wholeheartedly invested in making it happen.
