Composition is one of my top subjects!

I prefer a style that empowers the students to take ownership of their work so they will become better thinkers and writers. I prefer discussion-based learning opposed to "lecture-style" teaching where I can interact freely with the student as a peer-tutor. More specifically, I like to use white boards and visual aids in sessions.
I have worked in Cedarville University's Writing Center as a tutor for two years. As a tutor, I conducted one-on-one sessions with college-age students to help them improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I also led several workshops on various skills required for college-level writing, such as "How to write a historical/biographical analysis" and "How to write a Marxist analysis." In addition, in training for my tutorship, I wrote a research paper on how to tutor various types of LD students, focusing on students with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and ... read more

I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a BA in English-Writing. Throughout my classes, I have honed the skills of writing and communicating effectively, whether it be creatively or analytically, as well as expanded my knowledge of literature by taking classes such as Shakespeare and 20th Century British Literature. I am a very well-read person who has a leaning toward classic authors such as Bronte, Dumas,and Hemingway. I completed a senior honors thesis, which was 70 pages of analyzing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and continuing my own creative project, a novel in the making. This honors thesis received the Marsha Daigle-Williamson Award in English in May 2011. To go along with my English degree, I acquired a minor in History while at Spring Arbor University, which led to me tutoring an American History course. Along with this, I have published short storied and poems in smal ... read more

AMERICAN TOEFL TEACHER IN CHENGDU CHINA

I like to get down to the assigned task and mix the class up with serious teaching and also humor to help break up the lesson.
I have been living in China for 8 years and have taught every age group from 2 to 60 and every skill level from basic to TOEFL and business English. I enjoy the diversity of students and helping them improve their English abilities. Teaching one on one is the most beneficial as I can really target the students weaknesses and help them excel.

More About This Tutor...

I have a Writing Minor, and I am well- trained in not only creative writing, but writing non-fiction work and journalism styled writing. I have also written several short scripts, some of which have been performed by a small group of students for an audience. I have a great love of words, language, and imagery through both words and language. I wish to work with other potential writers to help them sculpt their own writing craft.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I love writing... I always have. I've spent 5.5 professional years helping students brainstorm, outline, draft, organize, structure, revise, and polish their papers. The goal of my tutoring is long-term, seeking to create better writers, not just better papers.

I absolutely love to write. I've been a professional tutor throughout the entirety of my collegiate marathon--a lengthy 5.5 years--and have worked with a variety of different students on thousands of diverse papers. From poetry to journalism, research to flash-fiction, there isn't anything I don't love to work on. A lot of students ask, 'Where do I begin?' For most of them this is the scariest question--the resistance that keeps them from getting started. For me, this is the most exciting question, the stage where the possibilities are endless and opportunities are waiting to unfold. Conversations, mind-mapping, outlining, and drawing are a few ways I like to get started. It's all a breeze from there. Let's write!

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice. I originally majored in English, as that is where most of my talent lies. I wrote several articles for my high school newspaper, have published poetry pieces, and edit reports and resumes regularly for a number of people.
I adapt my teaching style to the student. Every person learns differently; I generally try to find an entertaining way of teaching the material.

More About This Tutor...

I have a very hands-on teaching approach. In order for a child to truly grasp a concept or show their understanding, they must demonstrate the skill. It would be a disservice to them if it was a "listen only" style.
I recently graduated from a private college in Illinois. I was attending in hopes of receiving my Bachelors in Secondary English Education. Due to life events I had to graduate early without the full completion of this degree. I have been helping in 6-12 English, theater, Language Arts, and Reading classes for 4 years and I plan on starting my Master's Degree in School Counseling next fall.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy interacting and teaching others through interactive discussions, presentations, and hands-on exercises. I have worked with many people from various academic and cultural backgrounds during my academic and professional career, and can adapt to training individuals with a variable learning preference. I mostly have experience in lecture format, open discussion, and hands-on applications. Much of my work with others involved showing how to perform a physical act, such as a laboratory experiment, however, I supplemented the examples with details focusing on theory. I am patient and considerate when it comes to other learning styles and I recognize that everyone interprets and processes information differently.
I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science from Grand Valley State University in 2008, and has equipped me with the knowledge of many appl ... read more
