More About This Tutor...

Communicating with others is such an essential part of the real world, and so many people do not understand how to use this skill correctly. I strive to teach others how to read better, write stronger, and gather their ideas to make convincing arguments. I believe that with the right knowledge, students can become better writers. I also think that my experience as a student, a tutor and a writer will make a difference to kids who haven't had the same opportunities.
Coming from a Hungarian background, I have always been in tune to language and I have been influenced in many ways by my mother, a native of Hungary, and teachers throughout the years.

More About This Tutor...

Striving to make the student feel comfortable is part of my basic repertoire of teaching strategies. I know that when a student does not succeed in a typical classroom environment it is easy for the student to feel negative about learning. Our society is based on the 'cookie cutter' ideology one size fits all. So when I tutor I strive for the student to feel comfortable first. Then I observe the students way of learning and I tailor my style to fit the student. Each student has one to two modalities that they excel in when learning something new - my job is to discover which modalities best serves the student's style of learning.
Tutoring students is a big part of teaching. I have always tutored students in my classes and anyone who has asked for my help. I have tutored students on their writing, reading and basic math skills. Being a Special Education teacher has afforded ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a son who was born with neurofibromatosis is accompanied by a learning disability. My son is now 18 and in his last year of High School. He has been in special education courses since 2nd grade once being diagnosed with his learning challenges. He has had an active IEP since that time and I have worked very closedly with him throughout his school years. I have worked with him on every subject, every project, and encouraged him along the way. Due to his learning and physical disabilities, he has very low self esteem and this causes him to rebel during most homework sessions. It has been a true challenge, but very rewarding when I see him succeed, passing a test, knowing new words, etc..
My son, as I stated earlier can be rebellious, so I have to be very patient with him and always stay positive. I constantly tell him how smart he is, how well he is doing, and I always ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math. During the past seven years, I have been a community mentor who tutored school age students in English, the arts as well as adults with GED prep.
My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learni ... read more

After earning a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in English at Oberlin Colege, I taught for a year as a substitute within the Cleveland Municipal School District. After that, I worked for two years as a tutor with the Tutoring Club in Westlake. I primarily assisted high school students with SAT and ACT prep courses. My specialties were writing and English. I've also worked with helping middle school and high school students develop effective study skills and coming up with a good strategies for tackling homework.
To me, the most important thing is to be a good listener. I usually like to spend the first 5 to 10 minutes with a new student just chatting about their academic life and their study habits. That gives me a good sense of where they are, what areas they will likely be strong in and what areas where they will likely need further development. It also helps the student feel mor ... read more

As a communication major, to go along with my secondary major in history, my strengths lie in the ability to effectively engage with the student to give them a better understanding of history by speaking to them in an easy to understand manner. Technically, my degree is in communication, but only because I did not complete another round of general education requirements for a full bachelors degree in History. I completed all coursework, including courses on US, European, and non-western History. I have a diverse writing portfolio, which includes knowing MLA, APA, and Chicago manual writing styles for research papers. I have served as a copy editor for high school students, as well as, taught them research techniques.
I believe that an often overlooked quality in teaching is the ability to communicate. As a communication major, with training in associating with all types of people, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every child has the ability to be academically great given the right amount of individual time and guidance. An individual's potential has no limits and is always attainable if hard work is present. I believe in firm, but positive reinforcement as children learn the skills they need to prosper in school. One of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced is knowing that I have helped changed a child's life as she found her school work becoming easier and more enjoyable. I love having the ability to teach and mentor and create a turning point in the lives of children.
In May of 2009, I graduate from Kent State University with a BA in English and The Writing Minor certification. As a college student, I took many courses highlighting grammar structure and the writing styles of APA and MLA. As a student, I held part time jobs as a nanny for three children and a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having taught mostly college freshmen who took my class just to fulfill a requirement, I am empathetic to the fact that all students have a subject that they do not enjoy. Therefore, I try to be as encouraging and patient as possible, making it clear that I am supportive and willing to help. When working individually with students, I always make a point of drawing attention to what they are doing correctly or even very well before moving into points of constructive criticism. I've had many students tell me in the past that they were never able to do well in English classes, but now have an appreciation for how each of them can use language to achieve goals.
I am a writer of both fiction and nonfiction and have pursued my passion for English by spending the last eight years in higher education. I hold a B.A. in professional writing and creative writing, as well as an M.F.A. in c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an English tutor for the Kent State Writing Commons for four years, I was able to work with a wide variety of students. I enjoyed working with everyone from new entering freshmen to doctoral students. I also worked people in different educational backgrounds and people who were culturally diverse. English as a Second Language (ESL) students were also apart of my daily tutoring regimen. I also have a background which involves working with children ages 6-15. As a childcare provider I taught small classes of children basic reading and writing skills.
My teaching style is a “hands on” approach. I like to find out what the student already knows about the subject. I then like to fill in the missing links for the student in a fun, and interactive manner. I discuss any questions that the student has about the material after the initial information is given. I complete the process by go ... read more
