My comments on tutoring Poetry : In undergraduate school, I took a variety of Poetry classes.

Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remember how they improved their writing the previous time.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles.

Classical violin training, I believe, is more effective than Suzuki. In language acquisition, I can work with a student to simulate immersion in a foreign language, or create building blocks towards thinking like a fluent/native speaker.
Linguist, historian,violinist, and polyglot. I speak English, Vietnamese,French, German, and Turkish. Out of these languages I feel I can teach English, German, and Turkish. I am currently learning Arabic and Portuguese. I have experience with language acquisition and would love to work with you on whatever your language learning block is, no matter the language you are learning. As a professional violinist, I have studied for over 10 years and perform regularly with different groups throughout the area.

I am a junior English major and Religious Studies minor at Rhodes College. I graduated from Harding Academy ('09), a school well known for its strong English department. The past two summers I have worked at Harding's summer camp as a counselor for first and second graders, so patience is definitely a trait that I have come to learn and appreciate. Being an English major, I am strong in areas concerning reading, writing, and grammar. Also, I play football for Rhodes College, and I try to display the work ethic I have learned on the field in all that I do.
Reading and writing are, and have always been, enjoyable for me. However, I know that a lot of people do not feel the same way. My goal is to show students that if he or she can get past the miring details that oftentimes come with English, it can be pretty dang interesting. Since revealing the fun parts of English is my go ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping students reach their full potential & feeling a sense of accomplishment. I received a Liberal Arts education because my parents thought as did my teachers, professors, & I that a Liberal Arts education teaches creativity, flexibility, sound, logical reasoning, & good judgment. It is these ideas which I want to impart to my students. My philosophy of education includes utilizing the student's background in order to help the student discover & create meaning so that he or she can learn & better understand the material they must learn in order to become successful. I love to read; I always carry a book with me, & I share this love with my students. Every successful person in life that I know of reads; reads well, & reads often.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have mostly worked with college students, teaching writing and introduction to literature courses. As a college instructor, I stressed the importance of grammatically correct writing for the person’s career inside and outside college. It is also important to understand that writing is a skill that requires constant practice. Like membership in a gym, taking a writing class does not guarantee immediate success without persistent and regular practice. Finally, I encourage my students to be as thorough as possible in their analyses and writing. It is through attention to detail that we come to understand how language works and use this understanding to communicate effectively.
As an English graduate, I have always been interested in reading and interpretation of texts. Be it a poem, an essay, or a novel, I find it immensely satisfying to examine the laws and cultural contexts of the ... read more
