My comments on tutoring Writing : I was hired by the Lutheran Church to write devotional materials..I had to take certain Bible passages & develop meditations of less than 100 words for a 2 week period.

I taught for 9 yrs at the 1159 US Army Reserve Forces School. I helped soldiers get promoted to SSG, SFC, & MSG by providing them with skills in writing correspondence, public speaking, lesson planning & class preparation for delivery in both a classroom & tactical (field) environment. I also provided remedial training for soldiers needing additional work in writing,lesson planning & class presentation.
I told my students there was no "wrong" way to present class material. They were told they would be videotaped & critiqued by their class members..BUT their presentation would be on their military specialty (eg. a Motor Pool SGT would do a class on vehicle maintenance)..thereby increasing the "comfort level" of the presenter & enhancing the knowledge of the class. The students would be taught to affirm each other & give each other positive "feed-back".

Writing is one of my top subjects! My approach, which focuses on each student's unique abilities and skills, translates to a high level of success for students writing at a college level

Taught undergraduate and graduate English at St. Bonaventure University, Allegany NY Taught Professional Writing and Freshman English at St. John Fisher College. Rochester NY Taught Business Writing at the State University of New York at Brockport, Brockport NY Founded and presided over Interactive Training Labs, providing computer-based training programs for major corporations
The key to my tutoring approach is that every student is unique. After we discuss what each student wants to focus on, I ask them to write a paper about a subject that we agree on. Then I take them through several revisions, with each revision focusing on key things they need to work on. I often recommend that students practice creating sentences and paragraphs that focus on each separate concept or skill they need to become proficient in. I follow that procedure over several appointments in which t ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : Award winning writing throughout high school and exceptional scores throughout college. I can help you outline your thoughts, build better sentences and create more dynamic prose.

1 1/2 years experience teaching English as a Second Language to teens through professionals in Ningbo, China. Bachelors Degree requiring proficiency in drawing techniques including free-hand and drafting; 6 years practical experience as well. 10 years of experience creating resumes for students, young professionals and intermediate level professionals. Writing continuously recognized throughout 4 years of high school and 3 years of college. 4 years college prep honors courses, 3 years of liberal arts college and 4 years of art college have given me a variety of fool-hardy study practices and skills. Studying doesn't have to be difficult or boring.
Varies according to temperment and learning style of student. Always interactive.

Experienced Teacher Available

After teaching for 12 years, I decided to step away from the classroom in order to spend more time with my own two kids. I taught in both Rochester City and Brighton, with kids in grades 7-12. Many of my students struggled in school for all different reasons. I would love the opportunity to work with you. School can be really frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. I know a few tricks to help it go more smoothly, and I'd love to share them with you!
I believe in meeting students right where they are, and letting them progress at their own rate. I make learning as relevant as possible and incorporate many hands-on learning opportunities. I present information in a multitude of ways, using modifications and graphic organizers. School should be fun, and most importantly, it should make sense!!

Let me help you make a tough subject likeable

The most important thing when working one-on-one with a student is to find out the best ways that student learns. Patience is important, as is humor.
In 20 years of teaching experience I have tutored students of all ages, different socio-economic backgrounds and intellectual abilities, as well as in a wide variety of subjects. I have tutored in four public school systems, in private practice with with adults who needed help to prepare for tests and for adults who either wanted to study for their own enrichment or to advance in the corporate world.

Tutoring for YOU with compassion and excellence

I work with students on their level, and then assist students to build skills at the next level. I work to match my instructional style so that it corresponds to the student's learning style and comfort level. Moreover, it is important to relate new information to something that is familiar to the student; this is also how I help students to learn.
I have taught a variety of subjects, and I have worked individuals from elementary school through college. I am currently working with Rochester Educational Opportunity Center as a part time instructor. In addition to this, I teach as a volunteer math tutor to adults who are preparing to their GED and TABE exams.

Every man and woman must learn from cradle to grave.

I have years of excellent experience with analyzing, writing, and assisting others in academic as well as professional settings. I have done extensive research on various topics in Political Science and my experiences have taught time that there is never an end to learning, and there is no one single perfect answer to questions about natural or man-made phenomena.
Socratic, and lecture. It really depends on subjects. For example, case analysis in a political science or philosophy course can be more constructively learned through the Socratic method - that is, an open and inclusive discussion in the form of question and answer. Other subjects, such as psychology or geology may be best taught in the form of direct lectures with the opportunity to ask questions.

A Little Bit About Me...

After finishing Graduate School, I immediately began working as a 7th Grade Summer School English Teacher. Along with a one month Long-Term Substitute position teaching 9th and 11th grade English and Advanced English, I was prepared to take on a full-time role. Now as a full-time English Language Arts Support Study Teacher, I work closely with small groups of students to help improve their ELA skills and their general study skills to help improve their overall educational performance.
I believe that each student has a unique learning style and therefore, teachers must develop a unique approach to each an every student. By providing a comfortable learning environment, students feel more open to share and learn. Trust and respect between teacher and student is essential for the best learning to take place. With a student-centered approach, each individual can gain the most from t ... read more
