A mix of hands on and hands off learning. Highly fond of the socratic method of teaching by guiding the pupil in the direction they need to go and letting them discover the solution organically. Direction and help are given directly when needed. I have a degree in English an Communications which makes me proficient in understanding literature, and how it is received by the public. I was a writing tutor for three years in college tutoring people of many different backgrounds, many of which achieved success to a point of no longer needing to be tutored.

robin c. - Hamburg, NY 14075 (33.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Teach multiple strategies and techniques for successful learning! My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills. Consult teaching in done during whole group instruction and two teachers team up to help advance stuggeling learners or learners with disabilities. I en

Justin K. - Buffalo, NY 14224 (41.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $110.00/hr.
Recently graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in English (creative writing) and film. Enjoy teaching students and assisting in their development academically through hands on interaction. Worked as a tutor for two years in high school and one in college within Americore’s CYFC program, with a cumulative focus on reading, grammar, and comprehension. The education of children is of paramount interest to me, and during my work as a tutor at the Audubon School in South Central, Los Angeles, I realized the importance of making education personal. Many students do not have access to the one on one aspect of instruction that can prove paramount to the development of individuated talents. For this reason, I consider the position of tutor to be of utmost importance. My love for art, and my compassion for learning, comes across in the way I work and the way I te

Stephen C. - Buffalo, NY 14222 (43.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Studied English and Philosophy in College, spent much time with writing and composition Laid back, approachable with a sense of humor. I received my B.A. in humanities with a minor in Spanish from Buffalo State College in 2009. I studied English, Philosophy and Spanish mostly. I have a lot of experience in writing, critical analysis of literature and basic Spanish. I also hold a TESOL certification from Oxford Seminars. A TESOL certification is an international certification which certifies you to teach English as a second or other language. I have over a year in experience teaching ESL both here in the United States and in South America. I believe I have a good understanding of the technicalities of the English Language and would be ideal for a student struggling with grammar and writing.

Peter S. - Buffalo, NY 14225 (46.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $22.50/hr.
Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

Amber M - Jamestown, NY 14712 (8.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I have a passion for teaching all ages. I am patient, caring and understanding. My goal is to do whatever I can to get the answers children/adults need. I feel that students learn best if they see/hear the information given in multiple ways. I feel that if the material is presented in a variety of ways it will help students learn the material better as opposed to just memorizing. I graduated a year early from high school which then led me to the local community college.At the community college, I found myself being president of a local club known as Earth Awareness.I then graduated with my Associates Degree in Biology with honors.Cornell University was the next stage in my life where I became part of a local honors group known as Alpha Zeta Fraternity.Although attending Cornell University was a great honor; I felt that it was too large of a school for me(300+ in some courses) which then

Rory P - Jamestown, NY 14701 (10.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $47.00/hr.
As an Academic All-American and SUNY Chancellor Award winner, I've always valued education. I tutored writing and englisg-related topics in college. I also was a state certified hunter safety instructor for two years. I spent 8 years teaching life and social skills to developmentally disabled adults and even was able to get one to craft his own poetry,which we both found very rewarding. I believe the best teaching involves personal attention to that in which the student's interests lie. Helping a student to see how a topic can have impact on his life will make the course relevent and help engage the youngster. I also believe in encouragement at each step and making a "big deal" about each success. I see myself as a mentor who wants the next generation to be better than my generation - pay it forward.

James M - Fredonia, NY 14063 (11.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $52.00/hr.
The single most important thing about being a teacher or mentor is to be respectful, socially aware, and sensitive. Okay, that's three things, but they kind of go together.
The second most important thing about being a mentor is to create understanding about the underlying principle of whatever it is he or she is learning about. Once you understand the underlying principle, the "how to" stuff becomes a *lot* easier to understand and remember. On the other hand, a person who's trying to learn the "how to" stuff without understanding the underlying principles is likely to forget key things, to be tripped up when an unexpected question arises, and to get into other trouble. I've always been driven to help others understand subjects on a deep level. When I was in high school, I taught my brother basic algebra. (He was ten years old at the time.)
