Grammar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Montgomery Creek, CA

I am very good in grammar. I got very good grades in this subject and can teach it to any student easily with no problem. I have eight years experience tutoring subjects like Basic Math, Basic Reading, Grammar, English 250, English 260, and English 270 at Shasta College. I also tutored subjects such as Keyboarding I and Keyboarding II, which is Typing I and Typing II on a computer; Machine Calculations, Business English, Business Communications, English as a Second Language, and Excel. In the eight years I tutored at Shasta College, these are the subjects I tutored and loved to see the success of my students after I helped them. I teach everyone slowly and by going over the subject over and over again until it is understood. I am a very patient tutor and am good at what I do. I try to think of ways that would be easy for my students to understand. I can even work with Special Educat

In addition to writing countless essays during my time as an English literature student, I worked as a residence hall tutor for my last two years of university, helping other students revise and edit their academic papers for grammar, structure, flow and ideas. Since university I've received a certificate in teaching English as a Foreign Language through Cambridge's CELTA program. I have utilized this certificate to teach English for Academic purposes at a Turkish university, and most recently, general English and English for business at two institutes in Argentina. I was also able to refresh and improve upon my Spanish language skills while there. Having been in a variety of different learning situations myself and further exposed to them as a teacher, I have a keen appreciation for different learning styles. As such, I strive to adapt my style and resources to both the needs and le

First and foremost I love to write, and I'm more than happy to extend a helping hand no matter the subject. I encourage my students to write about subjects that interest them, all the while teaching the organizational tools to become effective and influential academic and creative writers. Because I have experience teaching a variety of writing courses I have a wide knowledge of form vs function techniques. Ultimately, I enjoy teaching students to find their own voice and to feel confident writing on any suject for a variety of venues and genres. I've always been drawn to the creativity and knowledge needed to use writing in very powerful and effective ways. I earned my bachelor's degree, taking classes that focused on writing for both stage and screen as well as a multitude of writing and reading comprehension classes in a wide range of subjects both academic and creative: theatre,

Working as a High School English teacher for seven years, in Alternative Education, has greatly honed my skills in assisting students to excel. Teaching critical thinking skills to those struggling to grasp concepts, provides great benefit in every subject area. I have used my expertise in reading and writing to open doors for others as they begin to learn, in confidence, and strengthen their own skills. Aside from substitute teaching--whereby I have taught every subject area, I have, as a full-time teacher, taught a variety of English classes (literature and writing) and a psychology elective. I believe that every person has a specific set of gifts, talents and abilities that is unique to each of us. Education, through its varied forms, is vital in the process of equipping children with the ability to grow and walk in their fullness so that they are confident in contributing their p

I have always loved to teach children because it excites me to see them really grasp a concept, and overcome a hurdle they thought was beyond their reach. Each child has so much potential-far greater than any of us give them credit for when we first meet them! I love to tap into the unique learning styles of each child, and really draw on what motivates him/her and makes him/her excited to learn. When this connection is made, the possibilities are endless for what they can learn, and how far they can go. I have always been passionate about receiving and giving the best education. As a graduate of a top-level liberal arts college I was able to hone my skills in English writing and composition. I received a certificate in Elementary Education both in New York and California, and have taught in elementary schools for three years in grades 3, and a 1st/2nd grade combo class, respectively. I

In 2009, I was a professional tutor(as opposed to a peer-tutor) for the Biology Department of Ulster County Community College, NY, for students struggling with: Bio 100 for non-science majors, Bio 101—an intro course for those planning to continue but lacking a strong background, Bio 105—General Bio required by all biology-related programs, and Bio 109—Human Bio for non-science majors. I noted that if students needed Biology assistance, they often needed Chemistry assistance also, so the basics of that had to be included in order for topics like macromolecules and cellular respiration to make any true sense at all. I have substitute taught for the past four years, and conducted two graduate field studies. I strive to make connections to real life by using real specimens when possible, familiar situations, manipulatives, current events, and such to facilitate comprehension. I fo

I think that it is important to make sure that the student understands the concepts being learned in each subject rather than learning how to do one particular problem. Too often students forget the basics that they learned before because they thought that they were finished only to find that it comes up again in a more advanced subject. My goal is to get students to understand and apply the concepts to different situations other than the ones that are directly in front of them at the moment. I tend to push students to work hard and challenge them to think about the process instead of just giving answers. During High School I taught at a science camp for 3 years. After college I went and lived in China and taught university level ESL for 3 years. I have worked for a few local tutoring organizations in the last 2 years as well as doing private tutoring. I have worked with ages 8-24
