My comments on tutoring Composition : I have always done well with composition, and have received training during my education and job experience as a secretary. I have also written, but not published many essays, which have been received well.

Relaxed, personal, but concentrate on learning, making progress at student's pace and level of achievement. I will try to make learning fun and interesting.

Let me help you bring your words to life.

My teaching style is very hands on and unique. I focus on the writer's voice above all because without that, they are only writing words with no soul behind them.
In college I was a "student instructor" in my university's writing lab, which is just another way of saying that I was a tutor. Post graduation, I now have experience with journalism as I've written articles for The Style Vibe and Green Label, both highly respected online magazines. Also as a creative writer I have published numerous short stories as well as a few poems. I currently have two novellas under review for publication.

In my experience as a teacher in the church,I have worked with a variety of students from young to old, from very intelligent to the mentally challenged. Thus I have learned to be flexible. One style does not suit all. With one on one or a small group, the ability to change to fit the student population is extremely important. Especially with composition, it is important to help students be able to write about what they see and feel. I think I can do that,

More About This Tutor...

As children learn in different ways and at different paces, many have difficulty adapting to the standardized teaching of institutional education. I believe that children learn best from a personal approach that meets their needs and draws on their strengths. I begin the teaching process by building rapport, encouraging ideas, and instilling confidence. I then determine a starting point by measuring the child’s aptitude. Following initial sessions, I develop an individualized plan that ensures appropriate and effective teaching methods. My style is flexible, patient, and engaging. The child is not a passive listener but an active part of the process, and he or she will feel more confident and independent with each session.

A Little Bit About Me...

I've always believed that children learn by doing. I would rather have my students get real hands-on experience because concepts can be better attained and understood if children get real experience with it. I also believe that children learn differently from one another and a teacher should be able to accommodate the different learning styles of her or his students. One method may not work for a student, so I feel that it is the teacher's responsibility to make sure each student reaches their full potential by finding ways that will work for her/his students and then incorporate these differences in the classroom.
After watching a documentary on teachers teaching in the inner city, I decided to switch my major from Pre-Law to Elementary Education. I've always loved learning and I wanted to be able to convey that same message to my students. In college, I majored in Elementary Educ ... read more

I am a William and Mary graduate with a BS in Chemistry, with several years of programming experience from developing my own computer games. In addition I performed laboratory research at the College of William and Mary for a thesis and have 2 years of experience tutoring in Elementary Spanish, Computer Science, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry.
My teaching style is very simple, but effective. I merely talk to the student to find out where he or she is having difficulty, and work to find ways to remedy the problem. We will go over the concepts and do some exercises that will help to answer questions and deepen understanding of the source material.
