College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I prefer to work one-on-one with the student whose work I am editing. That way, I am able to explain my revisions and help them understand my reasoning behind making certain edits. I'm not, by any means, a hard-nosed individual, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure that the student learns something.
Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an acco ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a Visual Arts Teacher and Special Educator, I am a resourceful, energetic person with a commitment to fostering lifelong learning in students. I am positive, outgoing, and approachable, with a talent for drawing out young people and putting them at ease. My philosophy in education is that all children are capable of being successful in school and life and their experiences and accomplishments should feel both enjoyable and rewarding through their own desires and perseverances. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I have come to realize that students can access much of the information needed to be successful in life. With this in mind and given the ever changing classroom philosophies around methods and instruction, I believe teachers’ curriculum and lesson plans can also include ways to support their roles as facilitators in a classroom where the teacher then guides student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

If I were to describe my teaching style in three words I would say firm, energetic, and enthusiastic. I have a fun loving personality and have an easy time connecting with children and making them smile. JFK once said, “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” and I feel this is absolutely true. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and should never stop asking questions. I am always refining my craft by discovering new techniques and methods of teaching. I believe teachers are truly life long learners and it is of the utmost importance to never stop reaching for the next wonderful idea. I would be honored to help your child grow and reach his/her potential.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with learners of all ages, and I try to plan my tutoring sessions in order to make them fun and productive for students. When planning lessons, I try to create engaging tasks that are both relevant and interesting to the student. I realize that a degree of flexibility is needed to keep students interested, so I am comfortable improvising and adapting my plans to meet student needs. Every person's learning style is different, and I enjoy guiding working with students to help find the method that best fits them.

I love teaching and have indeed taught everything from basic reading to dance class. I have tutored people that range in age from five to age sixty-two. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn if he or she is taught in a way that makes sense to that individual. Although I do not hold a teaching degree, I believe that my BA in psychology enables me to understand the learning process (and learning disabilities) in a way that is very beneficial to a variety of learners. I am patient, energetic, and kind. I work hard with all the individuals I work for because I firmly believe that a good education can make a world of difference in someone's life.
