Writing is one of my top subjects! As a writer and editor with over 15 years experience writing for online and offline platforms, I expanded my reach to include one-on-one tutoring because of my additional background as a teacher. As a tutor, I work with undergraduate, graduate and international students on all aspects of the writing process. This encompasses brainstorming, outlining, drafting, formatting, topic sentence work, grammar and ESL concerns. My tutees come from all majors including Psychology, Literature, History, and the sciences. I assist with personal statements and research papers, college essays, high school projects, to name a few. Additionally, as a Magna Cum Laude graduate student with a Master's in Organizational Psychology, I am well-versed in AP, Chicago and APA writing styles. Imparting my knowledge to others is tremendously rewarding but watching tutees develop their own writing skills is even more gratifying.

My tutoring style is serious yet fun, and I bring a lot of patience and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. Students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL, have benefited from my services. My approach to teaching is tailored to each student's needs because I believe everyone is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. With a background in psychology, I bring the added skill of communicating effectively with my students and quickly understanding their needs. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships with my students. My role is to help the student express their thoughts in a clear, concise manner, use English correctly, and help expand his or her knowledge base. My students come from all majors including psychology, literature, history, and the ... read more

Writing is one of my top subjects! I have in depth experience assisting students with their writing calamities on the middle school, high school and college levels. The ultimate goal for the students and I is that we end with a polished final draft that contains good grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and flow.

I grasped the importance of education at a very young age and excelled throughout school. Early in my youth I also developed a sincere passion for helping fellow classmates who I saw were having difficulties comprehending course material. I had a knack for connecting with students, identifying the point of confusion, and creating different avenues to reach full comprehension of a subject matter. I have since went on to develop tutoring groups on all educational levels. I co-founded a youth group T.U.F.F. (Teach Us First Foundation) where we attend local elementary schools offering tutoring services in Math, English, Sciences and Social Studies. During high school I developed a teen study group entitled Let's Rap where we would meet (with professional tutors on site), assist each other with homework and discuss any material that was causing confusion in class. During my time at Albany ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : I am very secure in my writing skills and I have received high scores on all of my competency exams.

I have been teaching and tutoring students for more than 20 years. I currently provide online as well as in person tutoring to students in the areas of phonics and reading. I am an ESL teacher for a couple of online companies in China. I work as a substitute teacher for the public school system where I live and I am also pursuing a degree in Spanish at Arizona State University. I previously taught in a small private school that I founded. The school served students in grades kindergarten through second grade and it was founded with the idea of promoting literacy through the encouragement of world language learning. I teach beginning and emergent literacy skills in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. I have also taught in two charter schools over a period of 15 years. During that time I served as a teacher in various areas, such as Kindergarten, First Grade, PreK, and Arabic. ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : Will check your paper for MLA and APA (graduate school) writing formats.

I have been tutoring independently since 2009 but have always liked helping others learn. I am good with math and numbers. Will go the extra mile to make sure the student/client understands that material. I like to provide as much feedback as possible to the student/client and build their confidence while tutoring them. I have worked with students as young as 5 years old teaching them how to count, numbers, etc to working adults in college and graduate school.

My comments on tutoring Writing : K-5 Organization/Structure

I believe that most elementary students benefit from hands on learning and visuals to make connections with learning. These may be implemented through technology or conventional methods. I also recognize that children have different learning styles, and getting to know your child and their learning style is an integral part of developing an individual learning program for them.
I have eleven years experience as an elementary special education teacher with Fulton County Schools, at the same school in Alpharetta. I have extensive experience with elementary children with a variety of disabilities, including ADD/ADHD, Autism, and Specific Learning Disabilities.I am familiar with Fulton County's curriculum and content. I am available daytime, after school, and during school vacations. Prior to teaching I was a general education paraprofessional for three years, a special education ass ... read more

Passionate teacher who loves to see others succeed.

I have a hybrid/blended style type of teaching. I assess my student's needs as I work with them and set up a plan and style specifically for them. Since I work with younger school aged students I am always teaching with hands on activities that allows the students to become interactive with their learning. They are able to learn through exploration and through discovery, however, I make sure they are also retaining knowledge and learning facts.
I am currently a Para professional that assists in teaching pre-k students in a competitive environment that is preparing them to excel as they begin grade school. My main focus is teaching reading, reading comprehension, phonics, basic kindergarten math and writing skills. I have a history of teaching elementary students how to read and become better in spelling and reading comprehension. I also have experience with assisting in homewor ... read more

Writing is one of my top subjects!

I start out with discussing the area of weakness with the student and then try to investigate why this might be the area of weakness. Once this is discovered, I teach the student (through examples) until they understand the topic with which they need help. Then, I observe how they perform without my guidance and see if they have learned to complete problems solo.
Most of my experience is informal with tutoring family members/church members/friends in whatever areas they were struggling. Nearly everyone was pleased with what I was able to teach them and they showed improvement. In addition to tutoring, I have also mentored. In particular, at Emory University, I have for three years served as a mentor to incoming freshmen. I have helped them become acclimated to Emory and have also helped them create plans for courses and future plans. Therefore, I am confident in my tutoring and men ... read more

I have teaching experience with both general education and special education on the middle school level as well as the elementary level through my private school experience. I am currently a general education reading teacher who has high expectation of all of my students. My teaching experience includes working with general education and team taught settings with students who have various IEP’s goals and objectives for the past 6 years.

Learning never ceases; so, why should you?

My teaching style is a mixture of strict and lenient. I try to form a connection with students and apply that to my teaching method (i.e. incorporating a similar hobby in a question in order for the student to understand the material better). I expect my students to give me and the other students respect- never speaking while others are speaking, no disruptions, ect. This method of teaching has shown effective and a fun learning environment. I base my curriculum around the importance of reading. Reading is the easiest and most effective way of obtaining knowledge and using it in the world.
I have had the honor of working with many kids in regards to a variety of fields. My experiences taught me responsibility, patience, the importance of learning and education, and much more. The various teaching opportunities I have been fortunate to have have impacted my social and educational li ... read more

I have spent fourteen years teaching first through eighth grades. I enjoy using real life situations to model subject matter to be learned. I stress the reinforcement of skills learned, and enjoy outings where the children can be exposed to the arts and sciences in a natural setting. I love teaching to the different intelligences. This provides a more enriching experience or the learner.
