I am a Speech and Theatre educator with a strong background in English. I have worked with young people over the past twenty years and have been privileged to see many of them benefit from the Speech, Theatre and English training they received in my programs or by tutoring. In this era of instant communication, many of my former students have reached out to me to let me know how meaningful the work was for them and how it motivated them in their lives and helped them to find their true callings. For this, I am profoundly grateful. Committed, engaging, appropriately direct, friendly but professional, caring, insightful, compassionate, skilled, motivating. I use appropriate humor and candor to motivate. I do have a behavior policy of mutual respect which sets a protocol and from which all parties mutually benefit.

I can help you create more targeted compositions. Either I can edit your work or guide you putting spoken words and thoughts onto the page. Mainly I will help you keep your writing goals in mind. My style is to give you time to work both in front of me and alongside me so I can assess what makes you a strong learner, meaning what best helps you remember a learning experience, and then we can use those skills wherever you have room for improvement. I have experience working in math and science as I do for work in a healthcare lab position. In all my schooling through college I tutored and studied in peer organizations, whether a French club in high school, biology society in college, or discussion of the material at hand. I have had some recent successful experiences tutoring in the community where I grew up (Hudson and Bergen County, NJ). Then my work in the spring with Reading Par

I am gracious to say that I have accumulated nearly fifteen years of impassioned decorated reading and writing where I was the honored recipient of the Proficiency With Distinction Award for critical thinking, literature, as well as reading comprehension in 2012. I have two short stories published by a high profile Vermont newspaper (Vermont Journal), both of which were published in 2014 and were the recipients of statewide acclaim and accolades. I hold the ability to read comprehensively and to write critically with a flaring imagination and analytical wit at the utmost highest regard. The power of the written word is unparalleled and is a passion of mine beyond description.

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 als

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 have been teaching and tutoring writing in almost every genre -- from the creative prose to business correspondence and memoranda -- since 1998. I started out tutoring students in anthropology at Hunter College and then landed a teaching position at a business school where I taught business English. In 2007 I enrolled in an MFA program at The City College and a year later began teaching freshman composition courses to engineering majors. I have references available from instructors and supervisors as diverse as the former dean of Hebrew Studies at CCNY to the supervisor of the SEEK Department's PAL Center. I do not have a teaching style as this implies that I or anyone can really teach another how to write. Writing is not taught in a way that science can be taught or grammar can be taught. Writing (and learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary lists are not learning how to write) is l

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 entire English lesson plan around that. I can also help with creative writing and essay writing 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 dis
