Experienced, Friendly Writing Tutor

My style involves asking key/critical/opened-ended questions to guide the tutee towards ways of improving his or her writing skills, grammar, and arguments/critical thinking content so that (s)he can write at his or her optimal level.
I intensively studied English Literature at the University of California, Berkeley (whose Literature Program is rated 2nd in the U.S., only behind Yale) and graduated with honors, summa cum laude in 2003. In my final year earning a Bachelor's degree, I completed an honors thesis (entitled "Erotism and Death in Italian Postmodern Literature and Film") for which I received an "A." Throughout my studies, I took a broad range of classes and, consequently, have experience writing for a wide range of subjects (including Art History, Shakespeare, Literature of the 15th Century, Philosophy, Ethnic Studies, Post-Modern Literature, Film, Sociology of Law, etc.) ... read more

I make use of and and all available tools to help teach. I am easily adaptive and can find field expedient methods useful and successful when necessary. I am generously patient and prefer to teach from the ground up, disallowing missed information or misunderstanding. I like to put my students at ease and make the atmosphere enjoyable, interesting, and comfortable. Through my experiences I never heard complaint from any student. Many sought me out personally, preferring my methods. Treating others as humans, not as cattle or dollar signs. I enjoy teaching and sharing what I have to offer.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer a relaxed relaltionship with students regardless of their age. I do not try to force anything, rather comfortably explain things on a level that can be understood by the student. I try to have fun with the subject, and make it interesting on the student's level of understanding/experience. I realize some students may not be comfortable in a remedial situation, and try to encourage participation in a non-threatening manner.
Earned degree 1966-Have traveled multiple times in Europe where I have successfully used the French language in French speaking and non-French speaking areas. Have tutored for two years through two different services. I very much enjoy helping others to learn another language, and have fun with it. I am also qualified to tutor basic math and reading.

Throughout all of my academic career, I have never been paid for helping other students-my friends-with their homework. Yet, I have still done it when they asked. In high school, I usually helped the struggling athletes, even though I too was an athlete; this continued in college. In sophomore year of college, I was the peer teacher in Stephens Success class, where I helped students with various issues. In speaking of Academics/Subjects I have personally not gotten below a A- since I was in second grade and can tutor in a variety of subjects including English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. In the summer of 2008, I also taught autistic children.
I understand that all children can learn, but they also learn at different paces, in different ways, and at different times of the day. As I learn through audio, visual, and tactile, I can teach to those strengths as well. I am patien ... read more

As soon as it was a possibility, I integrated more advanced math courses into my schoolwork. I recently completed my BS in Mathematical Sciences at Westminster College. Since 7th grade, friends ordinarily looked to me for assistance with homework in the math subjects in which they struggled and I often excelled. In addition to helping my fellow students, I completed the high school A+ program, requiring 50 hours of unpaid tutoring. I reached this goal spending one year tutoring a 2nd grade class in their general studies and the other year with a 4th grade class. Now that I have graduated college and no longer have to focus as much on my own studies, I am ready to fully devote myself to the academics of others.
Nothing brings me more happiness that accomplishing a difficult task. I really enjoy seeing what I have overcome and the finished product of hard work and fortitude. Through ... read more

During my musical career, I have had multiple professional experiences as a teacher and performer. This summer will be my fourth summer teaching at the New York Summer Music Festival, in Oneonta, New York. For this festival I am responsible for organizing and coaching chamber groups, teaching private lessons, giving reed classes and master classes, and coaching sectionals. During the last three years, I have been the theory teacher at Clavier Werke School of Music in Austin, TX, where I have prepared students for exams, and have taught them the fundamentals of theory, and ear training. I have also taught in the Austin public schools for the past three years, where I have oboe and other woodwind instruments.

My teaching career has been devoted to helping individual students achieve their potential. I have taught struggling students at all grade levels. As a reading teacher, I diagnosed each student’s strengths and weaknesses. I then tailored instruction to meet each student’s needs. I have also been a Learning Disabilities teacher in a small community. This gave me the experience of teaching a wide variety of subjects to students in elementary through high school. My teaching experience includes teaching English to students who came to school speaking another language. I have many years of tutoring experience which includes teaching young children, teenagers, and adults in the areas of reading, math, and English as a second language.
My teaching style is to discover what each student needs to learn in order to be successful. I teach in a way that is most effective with that studen ... read more

My approach depends on what level of students you are dealing with; and I am good at it. I always have some tactics on how boring subjects catch the student's interest. Teaching your kid doesn't need a genius one but first it does need somebody who has the heart to make them feel that they are special and making them feel that we, parents have confidence with our kids. We only need and want the best for our kids. A Tutor like me has some fun style for them to absorb lessons step by step.
I worked as Library Assistant in the University where I earned my Accounting Degree. At first it was just a voluntary when some students needed a help especially mathematics subjects. As time went on, I became passionate about it and start coaching my friend's kids, helping them with their homework. I love doing it, it made me feel I am alive. It was on my Second year in college where I started my ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned by BA in Psychology in 2010, and I consider myself a very well-rounded student. My main interest lies in Mathematics and Statistics, having completed undergraduate and graduate courses in both subjects. Along with my interest in Math and Statistics is a strong grounding in English and grammar. Along with my Bachelor’s, I received a minor in English and Sociology, both of which required hours of writing-intensive coursework. My senior year of high school I tutored underclassmen in Algebra, and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. This experience, and my psychology education, helped me understand the process of helping to learn, not to mention the great enjoyment I gained from helping a fellow student.
My teaching style is modeled after the great teachers and professors I have had during my four years of secondary and post-secondary education. I strive for patience and unde ... read more
