My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Coach, Critique, Edit

I am a professional technical writer, published author (www.TheOtherWorlds.net), and produced playwright, with a passion for writing and drama. I have several decades of experience as a writer, professionally and at an amateur level. The primary focus of my career has been in providing solid dependable technical writing and documentation for a number of industries, including: robotics, electronics, video, film, special effects, and government (DoD). Creatively, I write long and shot fiction, have published a novel and had a play produced by the American Southwest Theatre Company. My experience in drama also goes back for several decades. I have directed and performed in dozens of plays, mostly at the community and college level, but some at the semi-professional level. I also have years of experience in the motion picture industry in Hollywood (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm037848 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees.
As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this.
My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

More About This Tutor...

Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.
Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an Account Executive with Epitome Networks, a Richmond tech firm. I have more than 20 years of experience in business development and journalism, and I have worked at companies of all sizes -- from start-up firms to Fortune 100 companies. I have an MS in Mass Communications and a BA in English. I have tutored children and adults in English and French for about four years in my spare time. I love sharing my knowledge and helping others as a tutor, and I am fortunate now that my flexible work schedule allows me to continue this kind of teaching.
I am a patient, friendly, and fun individual. Like I tell my own children, I believe that teaching and learning is a two-way street. It's important for teachers to engage students, to help them discover, to guide them in their learning. There's a good deal of back-and-forth initially to determine a good learning program, and it takes con ... read more
