My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : Coach, Critique, Edit (Short Stories, Plays, Novels, etc.)

I prefer to coach people - identifying and polishing their strengths while focusing on improving their weaknesses. The key is being a willing, disciplined, teachable pupil. Experience is good, eagerness is better. In time, your efforts will pay off.
I am a professional technical writer, published author (www.TheOtherWorlds.net), and produced playwright, with a passion for writing and drama. I have several decades of experience as a writer, professionally and at an amateur level. The primary focus of my career has been in providing solid dependable technical writing and documentation for a number of industries, including: robotics, electronics, video, film, special effects, and government (DoD). Creatively, I write long and shot fiction, have published a novel and had a play produced by the American Southwest Theatre Company. My experience in drama also goes back for seve ... read more

I went to a Magnet Middle School which taught me accerlated Math and Science. I then went on to take all Honors courses, and some Advanced Placement courses, in High school. I graduated with Honors with an Advanced Diploma. I am now a third year student at Old Dominion University where I am studying Elementary Education. I currently work as a Program Leader at the Children's Learning and Research Center on campus. My all time easiest and favorite subject is Math, but I am well versed in many other subjects.
I have been tutoring for about 5 years ranging in ages from elementary school to adults who are trying to further their education. I try my hardest to break things down to the simpliest form to better help students understand. If I have tried absolutely everything and the concept is still not grasped, I will find someone who is more knowledgeable than me and seek their guidance. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to pick out something from the myth that is relevant to today (like from "The Iliad," the character Ajax is known as being stronger than Greece, and the soap brand Ajax has the slogan of being "stronger than grease").
I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature. I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections. As for Sign Language, I have an aunt w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I went through the "Basic Mass Communication Specialist Course" at the DoD institute known as the Defense Information School". I have several articles published, from hard news to features. I am experienced in all aspects of writing/journalism, public affairs, photography and videography.

I'm here to help!

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it.
I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elem ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in teaching with love, enthusiasm, compassion, understanding, excitement, and discipline. You must keep an open mind, open heart, and open arms to be truly successful. I employ a variety of educational styles in an attempt to engage all types of learners, with a heavy emphacis on hands-on activites. I am not afraid to try new whings, nor am I afraid to try again if something doesn't work out as well as planned. I try also to treat each student as an individual while still adhering to basic group rules of conduct and respect.
I have been teaching 3rd grade Sunday School for two years. I have been assisting my children in an educational capacity for over 7 years. I have experience in a preschool setting, volunteering with children ages 3-13, and also as a tutor to dyslexic and ADD/ADHD children.

A year ago, I had the honor of substituting as an Assistant Teacher with an amazing kindergarten teacher. I learned then that she maintains her respect and passion for her career by following this mantra: "I need to understand my students come to me in the morning having already experienced some kind of morning of their own at home. I don’t know what that morning was like, but I can tell when it’s been a bad one. I have to be able to engage each of them, no matter what their morning was, and welcome them to the safety of my classroom. I want each of them to feel safe here, so that they can be excited about learning.” To this day, I follow and believe that mantra and pledge to make it work in all of my educational efforts.
In 2007, I graduated from Penn State with a plan of attending graduate school for Creative Writing. I was devastated when I received three rejection letters from ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As of May 2010, I will hold a Bachelor’s Degree with a major in writing and a minor in literature from Christopher Newport University. I have worked in the on-campus writing center for a year, where I found my aspiration to tutor others in writing. As a student I understand the stress and frustration that can come from writing an essay, and I hope to alleviate that with my professionalism and knowledge. I am familiar with all types of essays, though I specialize in MLA format. I have helped both undergraduate and graduate level students in Christopher Newport University’s writing center, and am knowledgeable with multiple subjects – not just English.
I believe in an interactive approach to tutoring – where both tutor and student can be involved in the paper and work together. I am here to guide your child, to help them learn formal or informal writing so that they will not nee ... read more
