Journalism is one of my top subjects!

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 accomplishment I am attempting to achieve by transferring credits over from The Community College of Rhode Island. While attending UNH, I wrote for the school's newspaper, The New Hampshire, edited my fellow writer's work, and eventually went on to intern and temporarily work for our local Valley Breeze.
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 p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

Education is fundamental for our youth as they are the foundation of the future. Teaching is a passion for me because it is adventurous. I believe that every lesson must be creative and interesting. Fact of the matter is that learning can be difficult from and therefore approaching tutoring from a hands-on perspective may be more productive for the student as well as the instructor.
Upon graduating with my bachelors degree in criminal justice, I earned a significant amount of education and experience needed to write research and literature papers. I am currently finishing my masters degree while completing my thesis. I have an extensive understanding of literature works and reading. Additionally, I have teaching experience as an adjunct professor for college seniors.

More About This Tutor...

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I excel at developing a rapport with my students. They realize that I am the tutor/teacher but they also know they can talk to me and feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I find that appropriate types of praise seem to help a lot. I also exercise a great deal of patience and try to interject humor when appropriate. I am patient and non-judgmental and try to determine each student's learning style. I try to encourage my students to think about the context of the subject matter.
I have tutored an adult non-native English speaker in English composition and other language arts related subject matter. I also tutored a third grade student in writing and he finished the Connecticut Mastery Test in writing with the highest possible score after my work with him. I am currently tutoring a non-native English speaking fifth grader in language arts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I held a job as a substitute teacher in the towns of Waterford and New London. I also taught english in South Korea and english to Hispanic speakers with Impact, a school located in New London, CT. I was a tutor to a 12 year old, while a student at Georgetown University and have strong written and oral skills which led to a career in journalism.
As a teacher, I like engaging my students in conversation where we not only discuss the curriculum, but goals, hopes and dreams. I love sharing with kids my experiences as a student, a traveler, as a teacher, and as a leader. Children, teenagers, and young adults should be encouraged to perform their best, to strive for excellence, to be patient.

As the oldest of five children I not only love children, but I have a life-time long experience with them. I have babysat for years in my spare time- I am great at communicating and connecting with children. The connection factor is what I believe to be most important. My tutoring style is relaxed yet at the same time driven towards helping the 'student' to understand the topic or idea at hand. It is your job to not only help them by assisting the student with information you already have, but to allow them to feel comfortable and confident enough to arrive at the answer along their own path.
My experience in the field of tutoring is personal. I do not have formal previous experience with a formal institution that provides me with students to tutor- instead- my love and passion for reading, writing and literature in general has driven me to tutor friends and family concerning this ... read more

So my teaching styles are varried. As a tutor, one on one, we would be engaged in a conversation. My part would be to discuss the sublect of concern to the student. The student would ask questions, and we would end the session with a forcast of the next.
I have degrees that require me to do a lot of reading and writing. My career has been composed of teaching, reading and writing, as well as literature, at the Universities of Vermont and Connecticut. The teaching included freshman through graduate students - all levels of writing, in short. Much of it took place during individual conferences.

Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and how to teach it to meet a student's specific needs and learning style.
In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor. Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three ye ... read more

I have been a one-on -one paraprofessional at the elementary school level, teaching all subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for eight years in prek-eight grade taching all subjects. I enjoy teaching all ages. I have found the most satisfying experience in helping a student reach his/her potential and see their self-esteem grow immensely as their academic achievements grew. Every student is unique and deserves to have the best education possible. This sometimes means teaching differently to one student than to another. There is no cookie-cutter approach.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life. I have taught gifted and special needs students and find both to be exciting and satisfying. I raise to the challenges set for me and work diligently to ach ... read more

I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run ... read more
