My comments on tutoring Reading : See comments on English

I have been teaching many years, and I make sure I keep very much up to date with the teaching styles and ideas in use today, I have bona fide references available from students and their parents, (past and present) to show prospective students. I have worked with students for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language). I have worked very successfully with students who have had a learning disability or physical or emotional or mental problem of some kind. I apply my teaching expertise and ideas to academics as well as music. All my students tell me that they can tell that I love teaching, by the way I work with them.
I am gentle, yet demanding. I am soft, but strict. I use humor to keep my students interested and in focus. I teach, but I also listen and watch for signals from my students in order to know if they understand or need more explanation. I develop ... read more

Reading is one of my top subjects! Reading and Learning Specialist - Focus on struggling readers. Trained in Wilson and other Orton-Gillingham approaches Specialize in individualized attention to students with alternative learning styles and learning challenges

I am a learner-centered instructor. When working with an individual I try to understand his or her learning approaches and needs. I believe that I work well with alternative learners and with young adults who may be disaffected with conventional educational methods. I particularly enjoy working with adults and feel that I often learn so much more from them than what I am able to offer. When working with adult learners I respect that their personal lives and needs may intersect with our instructional time. Frequently I will incorporate whatever is going on in their lives into our current "curriculum."
Most recently I have worked as a reading specialist. I have over 25 years of experience as an English as a Second/Foreign Language educator. I have taught at all levels k-12, as well as University. I have extensive experience teaching at the adult level and enjoy working ... read more

Dedicated Learner Wishing to Help Others

Because of law school, I teach mostly by asking questions. This enables students to feel proud of figuring things out on their own. Unlike my law school professors, however, I am sweet and nurturing.
I tutored students throughout law school in various subjects including, but not limited to, writing. Since opening my own legal writing, researching and editing business, I have assisted attorneys and lay people develop their own writing skills. I am a clasically trained actress who performed in several off Broadway shows in New York City. Although I majored in theatre performance, I excelled in creative writing, with an emphasis on poetry. In high school, I placed out of college English, enabling me to take nothing but creative writing classes. I am a grammar and punctuation nazi with excellent reading comprehension skills. I excel at testing. As an actress/attorney, I have become ... read more

Expert at finding the solution to help you or your child!

Our tutors are trained to be able to relate problems to the real world, making them concrete and simple. For example, a question may ask what is 7 times 25? This problem is abstract and challenging to some people. Thus, I rephrase it to, "If you have 7 quarters in your pocket, how much money do you have?" By making the problem more relatable to the student, the problem suddenly appears easier and less intimidating. Our tutors go through training on how to assess each student's individual learning style, and know how to adapt to each student. Being able to adapt to different learning styles is what sets out tutors about and ensures that the students learns!

Teacher, Tutor, Editor, Study Coach

I love teaching and learning! I have degrees in English and law, and have over ten years' experience teaching and tutoring in many subjects. I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from struggling learners to second language learners to doctoral candidates. My forte is research and writing, and I am familiar with APA, MLA, and Bluebook format. I can take a good paper and make it great! I work as a teacher and tutor at Lynn University's Writing Center.
I tailor my teaching style to individual needs. I like to use Powerpoints, interactive quizzes, and online resources such as quiz flash cards to enhance my tutoring, and if I notice an area of weakness I will find exercises to address the problem. I can also help with study skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught privately for most of my years of experience. My teaching experience was primarily English one on one and Piano. My tutoring experience has been with learning centers and some private tutoring. This was over a period of more than 10 years. I started with Huntington Learning Center and continued with several other on line tutoring services.
I am patient with children and think they can learn more in a tutoring atmosphere. In the classroom, they do not get the individual attention they may need, so tutoring gives them the time to ask questions and get the attention not provided in the classroom.

The Word Doctor

My experience has been primarily in editing in various arenas, including medicine, technology, aerospace, and memoirs. I have tutored those whose native language structure hinders learning to use everyday idioms and phrases recently introduced into American English. Emphasis on proper grammar is light but holds to basic principles of good English.
My teaching style is geared to my student's needs and may be altered during the course of the lessons if necessary. Attention is given to priming a student's focus and setting goals. I thoroughly enjoy my students' progress.

ESL, SPANISH, ENGLISH, GENERAL STUDIES, TESTING: 6 years exp

Hello! My name is Rachel and I have over 6 years of experience tutoring. I started teaching students ESL when they came from Korea and quickly began teaching all ages from 3-83 in all subjects from elementary studies to ESL and even Spanish. I now call myself "Cheshire Language Consulting" and I make myself available to help all sorts of students understand the complexities of language, how to be confident in school, how to speak another language for work, or even just how to "learn to learn". Tutoring is my passion and I'd love to tutor you!
I am a very personable, relationship-built sort of tutor. I am no-nonsense when need be, but I try to focus on building nurturing relationships with my students, especially with children. I also work to build the confidence of students that score poorly on grades in school and love a challenge!
