My comments on tutoring Composition : Qualified by WyzAnt in this subject.

In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education.
For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna ... read more

Effective learning via clear goals and proven study habits

Career work in fields of public policy and data analysis, human resource supervision, training, survey research and computer applications.

Public service background in fields of church mission, senior technical literacy, college preparatory to post graduate education, community public interest groups, neighborhood and taxpayer organizations.
Tutoring in general is a cooperative teaching approach to help a student sort information or options toward successful knowledge, understanding or application of material. Helping a student adopt appropriate objectives in mastering learning material relies on good listening, exhange and study routines. Clearly stating questions or problem areas can be the key to effective and successful learning.

I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.
I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

If it can be fun, make it fun. If not, make it short.

My motto is if at all possible, I want to make learning fun. When that's impossible, let's get it over with quickly, so we can get back to the fun part. I'm a lifelong learner, so I practice what I preach.
Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent thro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Every student has strengths and weaknesses, and these should be determined for efficient tutoring. I believe in helping the student to learn and making sure they have the knowledge and help to understand the material themselves.
I have eight years of tutoring experience for students ranging from second grade to high school seniors. This tutoring has been in a variety of topics, from elementary phonics to high school geometry to handwriting. I have also had experience in tutoring for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and FCAT.

To Help Your Child Succeed At Advancing In English Studies

Hands-on. We all learn more when we experience new things, and get to try them ourselves. Children are more engaged when there is something for the them to do to interact with the materials provided.
I was an elementary education major for 2.5 years before following my specific passion to writing and literature in my Junior year to finish up school. I graduated with a 3.35 QPA from Slippery Rock University in May of 2015! I have completed reading instructional courses in K-6th elementary education as well as courses in literature and reading assessment. I also have experience working with many high-and-low-incidence disabilities such as children who are deaf or blind, have Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, or Aspberger's disorders as well.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught K-3rd grade in reading, math, writing and speech skills for 5 years as a teacher's assistant. I have also taught English as a second language to adults who were incarcerated for 5 years. My English and communications are excellent and I am very creative when teaching the above subjects. I use a number of materials to compensate for books that sometimes children do not comprehend. I have also tutored grade school students when I lived in North Carolina.
I have developed many creative materials to accomodate all children to be able to understand what they are learning. I have a compassion for all children as I do believe they want to learn but sometimes have fear of learning. I have always believed that children can learn in many ways and it takes a creative, intelligent mind to accomplish their learning needs. I have always put the child or adult first in the le ... read more

I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the rest of their lives. I treat each student with patience, respect and kindness. I believe specific praise will help students accomplish their goals and conquer their fears. Together we can make a difference.

More About This Tutor...

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment!
Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

There is not one teaching style that works for everyone. Making the subjects fun and exciting is a great way to get the students engaged. Everyone has different ways of learning and finding that niche will enable that student to be confident when it comes to learning anything. A student's outlook dictates how they relate to a certain subject. Breaking the mindset that it is too difficult or overwhelming are all mental. Breaking through those barriers will enable students to excell. I will help to facilitate those tools to overcome those obstacles.
As a young college graduate, I am still in the mind set of studying. My main focus is in administration and training for health systems. Out of my many classes and interests in education I excelled at undergraduate seminars which is taking a block of time and teaching a specific subject to my peers. My bachelor's degree has strong focus o ... read more
