Writing Doesn't Have to Hurt!

I lead students in the direction they desire by encouraging voice within their writing. Voice gives way to ownership of each individual's writing; one feels directly connected to the writing process by engaging with their voice. I support all writing styles and offer direction in relieving writer's block. I am open to the individual's choices within the writing process and provide support and the means for the student to succeed. I can help you with grammar, spelling, fluency, thesis preparation and development.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I can work with all levels of writers, and help you to discover ways to make writing interesting and fun.

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 effective and valuable educator. I possess both a Master's degree and a BA in English literature, with a minor degree in History; and as the only member of my immediate family to have earned a college degree, I ... read more

Lauren -- Tutor Extroadinaire

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 them finish finding patterns and correcting mistakes themselves.
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.

I'm looking to create readers and writers!

My approach is fairly structured, with heavy emphasis on the "nuts and bolts" of content and on moving smoothly and logically from one step to the next. However, I also like to balance this with use of stories, field trips, and conversations so that my lessons have a well-rounded and user-friendly feel.
I worked as an elementary school librarian for ten years. This was a teaching position -- I developed and taught lessons in library skills and assigned grades. I have also worked as a classroom teacher and substitute teacher. Recently, I volunteered for a local immigrant-services organization, tutoring an immigrant from Myanmar in English.

Let's start working together to reach your goals of success!

My teaching style is fun: relaxed and engaging for my students and for me too. I am serious about giving my clients the best and richest learning situation as possible. I use a modality designed just for that student and perhaps not offered at school. Since I am in a one on one setting I can ideally focus on just that one student's personal needs. I communicate clearly with all stake holders to ensure I am meeting the learner's needs and expectations. I know some of our relationships will be short term to get past an academic challenge and others may be longer to meet your needs. Whatever the length or circumstances I want it to be the best, positively memorable and educationally worthwhile experience for my student.
Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of ... read more

However best the student learns. I believe in "hands-on" whenever this is feasible.
I have limited experience in tutoring. The experiences include tutoring student nurses in the clinical facilities and in the Fundamentals of Nursing. When I worked with the students in the facilities, I would always demonstrate an organized way of assessing a patient from head-to-toe. I would ask a patient to agree to this procedure. I explained exactly what I would be doing. I emphasized that all the clinical students (males and females) would be watching and asking me questions. I would then type up (document) the findings and give each student a copy.
