Creative Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ

I am a Speech and Theatre educator with a strong background in English. I have worked with young people over the past twenty years and have been privileged to see many of them benefit from the Speech, Theatre and English training they received in my programs or by tutoring. In this era of instant communication, many of my former students have reached out to me to let me know how meaningful the work was for them and how it motivated them in their lives and helped them to find their true callings. For this, I am profoundly grateful. Committed, engaging, appropriately direct, friendly but professional, caring, insightful, compassionate, skilled, motivating. I use appropriate humor and candor to motivate. I do have a behavior policy of mutual respect which sets a protocol and from which all parties mutually benefit.

As a published writer, I have experience with everything from setting, to creating characters, to crafting a manageable plot. I can help you with all of these things. I am a published freelancer (Complex Magazine, cinemablend.com, Weightwatchers.com, The Source, etc), and a middle school Language Arts teacher for the past 5 years. I also graduated Rutgers University with a BA in journalism, and I minored in English, so I cover a lot of bases. I can help you with both reading and writing. I have the experience to take you far. I prefer online tutoring, but in the classroom, I usually use project-based learning, which encompasses everything from reading to listening to creating until the subject is mastered. I like to use fun, learner-friendly examples to spark interest and imagination. Imagination is very important to me. It's built bridges and cities in the past. Imagination and applicat

I prefer one-on-one only because that's how I personally learn best, and in a one-on-one atmosphere it's easier to pinpoint what one particular child is having problems with. As far as experience goes, I've just spent four years as a professional writing major at Kutztown University. I don't have a teaching degree, but I do have experience working with children at Over the Rainbow Nursery School. I would be in classrooms of different age groups ranging from new-borns to 5-year-olds.

I prefer to teach no more than two children at the same time. Focusing on the child's academic needs and flaws and an important keys to correcting them and creating a more successful learning environment. When I first meet a child I like to first assess their knowledge and understand their particular way of learning. Then, I proceed to teach and reinforce what they need to know in a certain subject. I have been tutoring children ages 5- 10 for 4 years. I mostly tutor children that need to improve their academic performance in the areas of English and Math. With all my utmost satisfaction, I can say that all of the amazing children I have tutored greatly improved their knowledge and confidence.

Ahoy! My name is Julia, and I am a Junior at Yale. I grew up in NYC, prancing around in coffee shops, studying with my friends at 6am the day of a big test. Many students, myself included, learn best when they wade through complexity with other people. I am here to help! I (not so fondly) remember hours of SAT, SAT2, ACT, and AP practice, and am very familiar with the format of standardized tests. I specialize in test prep, as well as Literature/Language, Social Studies/History, and Math (through pre-calculus). As a Humanities major, reading and writing is my food and water! I would be happy to help proofread your papers, brainstorm ideas, or work on structuring effective college essays. I have taught in many different settings - public schools, 3rd grade LD classrooms, journalism workshops for high schoolers, after-school tutoring for middle schoolers, to name a few! I have also
