English Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

I am a NYS certified English teacher. I have taught students of all ages the basics of grammar, reading, and writing. I have help students appreciate and understand literature and poetry. I have a student-centered approach. I tailor instruction to the learner's style and that person's particular needs. My approach is Inquiry-based and Socratic. I use questioning to activate prior knowledge and to elicit correct responses. I believe in guiding students to the correct answers. All too often classroom instruction is one size fits all. This is why many of us struggle. We are individuals, yet education is cookie-cutter. Teaching must be individualistic. I help students adapt their learning style to the methodology employed in their classes. My name is Mike and I want to help you or your child succeed. I have a Master’s Degree from City College (special Education, Children with Disabilities) a

All my work is student-centered. I listen to students and parents to assess needs, then develop a plan to address those needs. I use a variety of materials, from published guides to my own study guides and "cheat sheets." I was an English educator on the college and high school level for over 20 years. In addition, I was responsible for the Writing Across the Curriculum program and I developed and ran Writing Centers at two universities. I have been a professional tutor, helping students from elementary age right on up to graduate school, for over 10 years.

My minor in college was English, and since then I have spent many years teaching and tutoring this subject. I really enjoy working with students on English. Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn. I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.

Use all of the grammar rules and using them in practice. My students enjoy coming to lessons with Ms. Sharon. I make them feel comfortable, and always encourage them to ask me questions. I always ask them if their was something that they had in the classroom that they didn't understand, and they are not inhibited to tell me so. They know I will not judge them on that, I am just inquiring to help them out so that when they go back into the classroom they will understand what is going on. I want to make their classroom experience as pleasant as possbile. So with lots of repetition and encouragement they will not find it so hard in the class.

Published Author&Editor My teaching style is very direct, prompt and honest. I encourage questions so I can address anything a student may have trouble understanding. I am also easy going and open-minded because I want to help you with your actual needs and not cling to any particular approach or method if it's not working for you. Because everyone learns differently,I believe such flexibility encourages the learning process if I adapt my style to best serve my students' actual needs, and not by teaching according to some preconceived formula. I graduated from the University of Colorado with Honors. (BA, History, 1971) (magna cum laude in History; cum laude in General Studies) (Phi Beta Kappa). I earned a law degree at the University of Colorado School of Law (JD, 1974). I have taught at The Literacy Center of the University of New Mexico, located in Taos, New Mexico. I have written
