More About This Tutor...

I prefer an interactive approach to teaching. My goal is to help students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills by themselves, limiting their dependence on tutoring or other guidance. For younger children, I have experience teaching grammar in an innovative game-setting.

In college, I have won two essay writing contests within the philosophy department, and placed third in a university creative writing competition.

There is nothing more rewarding to me than helping children learn to read. The method I use is tried and true and I have many successful students who have gone on to be very strong readers.Reading is the basis of all learning, therefore helping a young child learn to read is essential for future success.The Orton gillingham method is very specific and teaches all the basics of phonics and uses a unique audio visual and kinetic approach

I have been tutoring for the past 10 years, And it is truly my joy to watch students succeed with this method I use.I Specialize in the Orton gillingham method of teaching phonics and reading..I tutor in person and online as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

Happy to help you excel am patient and diligent

I usually allow the person to come to me with questions and ask me what they are struggling on and help them from their or review the basic concepts and say them out loud to the person I am tutoring. I help students go through their books and synthesize material and help students write papers and come up with proper conclusions and introductions to his or her paper.
I tutored in my last semester of college at Westfield State University. I have taken 122 credits in psychology. My psychology G.P.A. average is 3.74 and my overall average is 3.551. I have helped students excel at college-level classes where some students were failing. I am part of the international honor society in psychology. I love helping other people. Although I only have a bachelor's degree, I have helped many students at college excel at their classes and achieve A's when they were struggling.

My comments on tutoring English : I have over four years of experience tutoring in college level English courses including on-line teaching in literature.

I have been tutoring at the community college level for over four years helping students improve their college writing and critical thinking skills. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds including ESL students and remedial students. I tutor writing in a several disciplines including English courses,anthropology, social sciences, and biological sciences. Research papers, essays, and college admission essays are my specialities.
I provide resources for the students I work with to give them the tools they need to become independent learners. I encourage discussion and asking questions to open new avenues of thinking and to develop clear, organized writing. Education is only education when students participate and create!

Using one's strengths is the key to overcoming any weakness.

Is it difficult to maintain focus while studying? Do you need additional, individualized time to master a concept?

Everyone deserves to feel proud and confident about their hard work, and every person can thrive from learning if they have the right tools to help them along. Thanks to my graduate training in clinical psychology, I have the unique ability to coach kids in emotion management, motivation, self-esteem, creative problem solving, and organization while strengthening their academic skills.
