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 an eff

My motto: Shakespeare is easy! I have a determined passion for inspiring anyone and everyone with an understanding, and therefore love, of Shakespeare's works, life and times. As a teacher I have taught many classes, camps, and workshops to students ranging from beginner children to professional adult actors. As an actress I have performed in 29 of his plays, playing over 50 different characters. For the past ten years I have been tutoring students mostly in the following subjects: Literature, Poetry, Folklore, Mythology, Theatre Arts, Shakespeare, and Public Speaking. I have been a professional teacher in schools for five years teaching Theatre and Folklore/Mythology in Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. I also teach Shakespeare classes, camps, and workshops to students ranging from 6 to adults of all ages and experience. I love tutoring because I love inspiring students with a love

I've taken several courses in Shakespeare, but since graduating college the only thing my anthology has been good for is standing on to reach things on high shelves. I'd love to put it to good use again! 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. 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 t

I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success. I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge.

I am enthusiastic and encouraging and I believe that a positive attitude and self-confidence can get you anywhere. When working with students and children I try to create a positive, encouraging, relaxed learning environment that allows students to believe in themselves and their ability to learn. I am laidback and patient and believe every child can be successful if encouraged to work hard and believe in their own abilities. My four years at Willamette University taught me to think critically and communicate well. I was expected to have an outstanding level of written communication skills and I honed these skills throughout my education, especially while researching and writing my senior thesis. I have excellent grammatical and verbal skills and a deep love of language and all things foreign. My International Studies major allowed to me to study a broad range of subjects including histo

As a tutor, my goal will be to improve understanding of and appreciation for the subject matter, in addition to providing tools for effective self-study. I believe strongly in personal accountability, and will strive to give my students a feeling of empowerment with regard to their studies. Students interested in counseling regarding preparation for a professional school would also be welcome. After spending 20 years in school, I have learned how to study for just about anything. My undergraduate experience was weighted equally between the science classes necessary for entry into veterinary school, and my passion for the written word, which I pursued through the Oregon State University Honor's college. Veterinary school reinforced my knowledge in all the life sciences, in addition to honing my study skills.

Teaching has been my focus for the past 25 years, resulting in a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Classical Archaeology and Art. I was an Assistant Curator of Ancient Art, teaching the university's Honors courses in Classical Studies and giving numerous lectures. By writing various papers and a master's thesis, I am experienced in research, writing and presentation. I have taught history to high school students for six years, taught Girl Scout leaders and girls in my own troop for ten years, tutored Native American college students in all subjects and taught vocal lessons. I love to teach people of all ages, developing great relationships. I am an interactive teacher, in that I believe in hands-on activities directed to that person's style of learning, determined through my experience in psychology and counseling. Thinking of learning as an adventure, I utilize disc

My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad. My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging.

My advanced skills are in the language and language arts areas, but I am qualified to tutor students in all required areas of study. I have some prior tutoring experience, and have assisted many trainees in my previous career, but my natural ability with languages is my forte. I am enrolled in a teacher certification program, and have passed all my prerequisite exams, including TESL. My easy rapport with children gives me a natural gift as an instructor.

After graduating from the University of Washington with a BA in English, the English language has been my passion. I understand the ins and outs of essay writing, from formulating a draft to polishing a written work to its final form. Though critical reading and writing is my concentration, I've worked on many different projects including presentations, debates, research reports, and short stories. In Korea, I was an English teacher for nearly two and a half years. For six months I taught general reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I then worked as a head instructor, concentrating on preparing students for the TOEFL test along with high school and university entrance evaluations. 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 learn

As an American kid who grew up outside of the US, I am a lifelong student of language and culture. Because of my studies in French and since I lived 14 years in France, I have near-native mastery of the language and understand the culture intimately. I have taught Middle School and High School level French for 5 years in an international school in Germany. I also have strong English skills, having earned a BA in English, which included classes to prepare me specifically to tutor students in English. I have helped students learn to write papers and essays for other classes when I worked as a classroom teacher. 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 he
