Composition is one of my top subjects!

I believe strongly in adapting to the students style of learning. There is no "one size fits all" in learning. I think it is important to go beyond teaching the facts by exploring the bigger picture. Development of critical thinking skills should go hand in hand with teaching the test materials.
I have a degree in English Literature and graduated with a 3.66 GPA in 2012. I have written hundreds of college level essay and research papers. I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and I am currently attending Southern New Hampshire University to obtain a Master's Degree in Education. I work as an educator and specialize in Language Arts.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Exceptional essay development and composition skills. Can instruct how to approach compare and contrast, personal narrative, persuasive essay, evaluative essay, critical analysis, annotated bibliography, and more.

I recently graduated from Gordon College with a degree in English Literature and a concentration in Creative Writing. I manage two personal blogs, which include my non-fiction stories, poetry, and artwork, and I have published 5 different articles for various Gordon journals. In high school, I took all Honors English courses, and received college credit for my English AP Exam. At Gordon College, my essay writing abilities, as well as my breadth of creative writing, rapidly developed as I typically had 3-4 writing assignments a week. Writing has become a hobby and a career path for me, and I help others write, edit, and consolidate their ideas. Courses taken include: Intro to Creative Writing Advanced Creative Writing Journalism 1: News Writing Journalism 2: Feature Writing The Literary Journal World Literature British Literarute 1&2 American Contemporary Literature 1945-Present ... read more

Any student willingly to learn, deserves a chance.

I have tutored students before in the elementary and middle school grade levels. I have young siblings who I help out also. I do not have a degree in teaching but I feel that I provide the same amount of experience. I haven't had a lot of experience so I would like to gain more through teaching my new students.
I am very patient and always help my students understand not just how to do it, but why we do it. I do not give up on students who struggle with work and I understand their needs. I am very smart and willingly to help any student in need.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Worked as a writing coach for three years.

I believe in identifying where a student lies on the subject he/she is studying before going further. The advantage of one on one tutoring compared to classroom is that the lesson can be based around where the student’s strengths and weaknesses are rather than a blanket method. I also believe that the skills used in English can be best practiced and analyzed through writing rather than worksheets and tests. Therefore, I believe in having the student write on a variety of subjects and working through these pieces to show where they can improve.
I graduated from Fitchburg State University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science in English and Professional Writing. I went on to become a staff writer for the Lowell Sun, a daily print publication in Lowell, Massachusetts. When I was laid off due to budget cuts, I wrote freelance for several entertainment and political publications. I a ... read more

Tutoring for: Writing, Reading, PSAT/SAT, ACT, GRE

I consider myself a very laid back person and am flexible in terms of addressing the student's concerns. I primarily work in subjects related to writing. My training is in philosophy, so I tend to focus on helping students develop strong reasoning/arguing skills and a precise voice. I find that these skills, which are heavily emphasized in philosophical writing, carry over well into all forms of academic writing.
I have worked at the Salem State University writing center for the last two years. At the writing center, I work with students on papers in all subjects, from math to English. My experience at the center has helped me develop methods for helping students plan and organize papers, and also for addressing grammar and style issues. I also have a lot of experience working with ESL students.

More About This Tutor...

I try to empower students to learn how to improve their writing. I start by showing what works well, the strengths of the piece itself. I then show them what can be improved in the work with further revision. I often will use examples of first drafts of famous and acclaimed authors, and sometimes use my own work as an example of poor first drafts and how a work can improve with revision. I have a passion for writing and literature that is usually contagious.
I have over 15 years experience in a writing, editing, and reporting capacity covering news and publishing industries, and higher education. I also have formal training and education on how to edit, write and give formal, positive feedback for improving manuscripts and texts. My work has appeared in numerous publications and periodicals. I have written and edited internal medical and high-tech documentation, sports articles, l ... read more

Compassionate Tutor with Legal Experience and Much More!

I am a graduate of Harvard Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. I have a diverse set of personal and professional experiences that make me a compassionate yet firm teacher. I have taught French to children and Legislation to law students at Northeastern University School of Law. Practicing as a corporate lawyer, family counselor and non-profit/in-house lawyer gives me a broad platform from which to tutor. Plus, I am more than a lawyer, I have a passion for all things food, and have recently rekindled my love for the stage as an actor. I am most proud of being a mother to a mostly well-adjusted fifteen-year-old daughter. We live in Somerville with three adopted animals, two cats and one dog.

Reading, math and study skills tutoring

I am a 2012 college graduate with extensive experience working with grade school and middle school students. As a summer trip leader and Outward Bound instructor I have gained skills in incenting students to learn and succeed. My education at Millton Academy and Gettysburg College ingrained knowledge of essential reading, math and social science subjects, and I enjoy helping children learn.
I provide a structured yet friendly learning environment. I believe that students can learn when clear, reasonable expectations are set and incremental achievements acknowledged.
