My ability to oversee the development of programming at Citizen Schools, as a Teaching Fellow, was a reason my students achieved a year to year significant...

...student untangle a dense text or transform a scattered idea into a compelling thesis. My teaching philosophy centers on adaptability and encouragement. Every student has a different way of learning.

...key to successful writing is curiosity and editing! I tutored English writing at my alma mater, Penn State; my experience there sparked an interest to continue working as an educator. I've tutored high school and middle school students. I've enjoyed every part of it and love when I see my students finally "get it." My goal as your tutor isn't to make you "like" writing. Instead, I'm dedicated to helping you figure out your learning...

...English satisfyingly complex in Grad. School via classes like Writing for Public Administrators and books like "Clarity and Grace." I believe that the technical aspects of English like sentence structure, punctuation, conveyance, writing succinctly are ever evolving. it about finding 'your' voice, and/or delivering the assigned message. I have written executive level Memorandums of Understanding, Graduate Capstones, taken classes in Advanced English, and more recently leading trainings for other mid level managers on writing appropriateness...

...graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of...

I graduated high school with a bilingual diploma in Spanish, am familiar with Spanish language and culture, and have traveled widely. I'm also an avid writer and blogger.

...Some students need more time on certain subjects than others. The student will receive one-on-one tutoring, and we will move forward at a pace that best suits the needs of the students.

I believe every student deserves a chance to show how great they can really be. I never lose faith...

...and technical theatre at a performing arts summer camp, teaching English, reading comprehension, and writing to gifted/advanced 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students, and assistant coaching collegiate level speech and debate. It is most certainly apparent that my favorite subjects to tutor are writing, public speaking/debate, and performing arts. I want to work to promote a love of art and culture in my students as I am also a working artist. I act, write poetry,...

...I learned what it meant to look after my fellow student as a peer mentor. I went on to learn what it meant to teach during my time as a service learner, where I tutored students I middle school among duties. While I enjoy tutoring I am most passionate about English and Psychology as not only do I have the most history in, I am biased as they are what outlines my career aspirations. Outside...

...utilize writing prompts to guide the student to reflect upon the passage, engage in further research on the internet and write a two page essay for the next class. Through reading the assignment aloud, the student author takes ownership of his or her work. I provide feedback on style, grammar and structure, use of vocabulary and overall effectiveness in how the student has communicated the idea to the reader. We build upon these reading and...

I am a recent graduate of SUNY New Paltz, where I received a BA in English with a minor in Spanish, the subjects I will be teaching. I am passionate about helping students, because I saw such improvement in my brother with special needs when tutors assisted him. I believe each student has potential and will break down studying in small intervals to make it less daunting and more fun, using Quizlet and learning conversationally.

I may have a BA in Speech Language Pathology, but I love teaching (and learning) English. I am a genuinely caring and motivated individual who believes in the power of positivity and doing the best that you can with all that you are and can do! :)

...the past five years. In addition, I regularly volunteer at the Literacy Network helping adult learners receive their diplomas, and at my local library, organizing educational events for children. I enjoy most those moments when a student forgets what they can and cannot do and gets lost in the subject matter. True moments of discovery occur when we absurdly, naively lose the boundaries between our little candles and the darkness around. Further, I love encouraging...

...at SCCC. My students included recent high school graduates, adult learners, and students with disabilities. I predominately tutored biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and English. I prefer to guide my student instead of forcing our session(s) according to my own ideals. I am here to help my student's knowledge base and understanding flourish. I desire to foster a community of learning, where students' thoughts and opinions have as much weight as my own.

...and talk to them in a vernacular that they can understand. You want to create analogies and tell stories that are helpful; only then will people actually internalize the information and actually be able to apply it to different problems and in the real world. I promise to give my full time and effort to each of my students, and I cant wait to embark on a new journey with all of them.

...Roman Civilization to Calculus II. I took a variety of AP courses in high school and SAT Subject Tests and had to balance that academic work with being a year-round student-athlete. I am confident I know how to study effectively and manage my time, and if there is any way I can use those skills to help other students, I'd love too! When I'm not studying, I'm probably geeking out over music or running.
