My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I am a published journalist with over four years of experience. I also worked for a lecturer as a writing assistant.

I enjoy making lessons fun, creative and applicable.

I also research and incorporate 'real world' supplemental material in conjunction with the Interchange and Headway language textbook series. I have also pitched elective courses and customized/lead a mandatory professional development workshop on the topic of integrating technology in the classroom.

Down to Earth tutor more worried about the academics than $

Tutored (recommended by school) fellow classmates elementary though college and various friends and family. Was the type of student that would teach myself and help others that were behind. I work hard to learn about others and help them in the way they need to be helped. Education is a journey and having the right tour guide is the most important part.
Anything K-12 and some college math, science, physics, psychology, and pre-med.

Greensburg Tutor Seeking New Students!

I cater to the tutoring methods that I believe will be most effective for each student. I adjust my pace to fit what they comprehend and spend as much time as needed on a topic so that both I and the student are confident in their ability to accomplish their goals in a classroom setting.
I have over two years of professional tutoring experience both in classroom under professor supervision and one on one. My specialties includes subjects such as mathematics and Spanish, but I have assisted students in other subjects such as composition, grammar, and history as well. So far I have found great success while working with my students, even improving grades from F's to high B's.

Pittsburgh Tutor/Teacher

I prefer to incorporate student participation as much as possible instead of giving lecture-style instruction to learn their unique learning styles and to understand more about my students. With this understanding, I will be able to understand how I can better instruct them and test them on the material being taught.
I have studied the indicated fields for over two years at high school and university levels. Also, I have taught English as a Second Language as an intern while studying abroad in London for one semester. For this position, I taught from self-made exercises, lesson plans, and individualised activities focusing on English comprehension, writing, communication, grammar, and literature.

I hold a bachelor's degree in English writing and possess extensive teaching experience as I have taught every summer since I was an undergraduate. Most recently, I instructed creative writing with the Western Pennsylvania Writing Project through the Young Writers Institute where I taught creative writing workshops at the Cathedral of Learning to middle school students. I have also taught art and writing classes through the Community Arts Center of Cambria County and the Greater Johnstown school district for after-school and summer-school programming. I have been working as a private writing tutor for about two years and primarily teach essay writing, creative writing and reading comprehension. As an instructor of writing, my primary goal is to motivate students to uncover the benefits and the value of the practice. I believe that every student is able to be inspired by the act of wr ... read more

I feel very comfortable dealing with the technical side of the English language--that is, the grammatical side. I am also quite comfortable discussing theme, characters, and various plot devices in novels. During high school, I excelled in the Advanced Placement English programs, and in my time at Penn State University, I have taken a number of honors courses to further my education, focusing my studies on writing; additionally, I have completed an editorial internship, writing and editing numerous articles for both magazines and newspapers in the State College area. My degree from Penn State is a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis on publishing.
As a person who is both respectful and fond of the English language, I feel that I have an advantage in opening lines of communication with students. Because my area of expertise is language, I find it easy to express myself in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I work with others on writing papers, I always make sure to tell them why I suggest the changes I do. Making sure that they understand why I suggest a change is important. Reinforcing those rules while also pointing to an example on their own work always helps to show the students how to improve their own writing. I believe that showing them rather than telling them is a productive strategy to teaching composition and reinforcing the etiquette involved in essay writing. Pointing out these areas of improvement to the student on a one-on-one basis allows the student to learn and implement changes in the future.
During college, I spent many hours perfecting papers by revising, editing, and proofreading. This helped me to master the art of english composition and essay writing. By studying writing, I have learned creative and technical tactics to add to my style of writing. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest subjects. Additionally, I have college graduate level skills in English/grammar, science, and social studies. Although theses were not part of my major, I do have above high school skills to share with those who need help in those subjects. Out of those three, my English skills are above average from writing many research papers on business subjects.
This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math ... read more
