Elementary School Writing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in River Edge, NJ

I strive to understand the nature of my clients, and use that understanding to help create a teaching structure. I am a patient motivator, and attempt to use different methodologies if better suited to my client's understanding of the material. I look to incorporate learning with the real world. I am a mother of a child whom I successfully homeschooled in a variety of subjects prior to starting school (our situation changed and I was not able to continue full-time homeschooling). However, I continued to supplement learning and exploration outside of school. At her interest, she began reading at age 3 and was already fluently reading books to her classmates in Kindergarten. • I have taught as both teacher and assistant at Sunday Schools and have worked as a camp counselor during my high school years. Post high school, I volunteered at a special needs clinic with developmentally delayed

When helping a child, I show interest in the child and the child's immediate situation. I express warmth, responsiveness and appreciation. I nicely encourage a child for a given activity or one that I create. I am always upbeat, positive, and enthusiastic In the educational process, I form an idea of what the student is ready to learn, and form an idea of a learning task (discussion or practice) and of how I might introduce it. I am open to suggestions from the learner for this (or at any moment). Learning should be enjoyable.If a task proves not to be intrinsically stimulating, I present accomplishing it as a challenge. I praise efforts and seek to minimize frustration--I have a technique for this, to be used when necessary. Finally, the majority of time during any session is time during which the student is learning, with a minimum of my instructing. John Andrew Sonneborn, D.Min. (21

I am probably the one tutor on these pages who is internationally published with a major, front-line house. Here I refer to the biography I wrote of an ambassador named Bullitt, who worked for Roosevelt against Stalin. This means, simply, that I have tons of experience in writing fast, in rewriting much, and under deadline. Note too that this often requires research. That I have done for some time... My experiences are perhaps too wide for this enclosure. I have 5 degrees, in American history and world history and French and Spanish, plus experience in writing and publishing. But my best experience involves my being able to take an overworked, frazzled student under deadline and teaching him or her how to pause, focus, and then get caught up and then get ahead. As Ben Franklin would say, we have to learn how to "make haste slowly." I teach a student to be calm, take a breath, a

Ahoy! My name is Julia, and I am a Junior at Yale. I grew up in NYC, prancing around in coffee shops, studying with my friends at 6am the day of a big test. Many students, myself included, learn best when they wade through complexity with other people. I am here to help! I (not so fondly) remember hours of SAT, SAT2, ACT, and AP practice, and am very familiar with the format of standardized tests. I specialize in test prep, as well as Literature/Language, Social Studies/History, and Math (through pre-calculus). As a Humanities major, reading and writing is my food and water! I would be happy to help proofread your papers, brainstorm ideas, or work on structuring effective college essays. I have taught in many different settings - public schools, 3rd grade LD classrooms, journalism workshops for high schoolers, after-school tutoring for middle schoolers, to name a few! I have also

My teaching style is engaging. It is interactive communication where I try to draw on what the student already knows. I am unfailingly patient and polite and have experience with all kinds of learners. I have over 7 years experience tutoring students online for top online tutoring companies such as tutor.com. I have been officially approved to tutor over 80% of the courses in my tutor profile for these companies and have been told that I am an excellent tutor. I am routinely selected as a trial tutor to demonstrate these companies services to prospective clients.

I have worked as a reading tutor, helping children enhance their reading abilities, and I have worked as a general tutor, helping children with both reading, and enhancing their writing abilities,and helping expand their knowledge on the subject matter. I work better one on one, as I am able to give the student my full attention, which can also benefit the student as they will be learning the material at their own pace.

I am an environmental reporter based in New York. My articles have appeared in New Scientist, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Popular Science, OnEarth Magazine and Smart Planet. I was also a copy editor with a large publishing house for two years where I used my spelling and grammar skills to fact check and proof read manuscripts. I love to travel and learn about people and the world and spent two years living in Paris, France where I was an English tutor to French children and adults. I also co-host a podcast about fairy tales called Tabled Fables. Each month we discuss a different tale to find out what the story means, how it's evolved and what makes it stick. I like to help people learn about English by exploring their interests. For example, if you are a fan of economics we can read The Economist and discuss world politics. If you prefer to talk about animals we can create an

Throughout my undergraduate career, I have tutored fellow students in my major, designing tools to help them succeed on exams and assignments. In addition, students taking various courses have asked me to edit their papers and guide their studying. Outside the realm of college, I have previously been an assistant teacher for early intervention and preschool children. I am currently an assistant teacher for elementary school students. I enjoy working with people, and I enjoy using my strong academic abilities to help others succeed in school. I consider myself a friendly and down-to-earth person, eager to give over my positivity, dedication and support to those that I work with. I look forward to giving over these ideals to my future students.

I prefer one-on-one sessions so I can be attentive to particular needs of the student, especially when it comes to reading and writing. I work collaboratively in the sense that I like to observe how a student best engages with the material and encourage that method for best results. I am both process- and result-oriented. I can assist rote memorization of facts. I can shepherd critical thinking, perceptive reading, and clear writing. As Academic Advisor at Hunter College, I provided one-on-one tutoring focused on thesis development, essay writing, and critical reading. I am attuned to the craft of writing, particularly helping writers distill ideas and compose how those ideas can best be expressed. Subject-wise, I have received degrees studying history and international relations from elite liberal arts schools. I have also worked as a radio and print journalist. In short, I am well vers
