...on what l feel is best for them to learn and excel. I understand that everyone does not learn best the same way. There are some students that are more visual learners, others who are more auditory learners, and yet others who learn by a combination of both. Some students learn better by reading textbooks while other require help in extracting the main concepts. I find this difference to be the most exciting aspect of...

I'm an avid reader and a very strong writer with a penchant for time management and study skills, so I'm especially looking forward to tutoring students in these areas, but also look forward to working with students on mathematics and test prep. It is my personal philosophy that asking for academic help is a sign of...

...in writing. Because thinking is the crux of learning, I always strive to have student voices dominating during tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions are short, so I believe each one should be purposeful. Each session must have a goal that is clear to both me and the student. Because learning is as much about skills acquisition as it is about content knowledge--a student does not want to need a tutor forever!-- these goals should be transferable,...

...Latin American Studies program at the University of Oxford in September. During my junior year of college, I studied abroad in Granada, Spain where I lived with a host family and taught English at a local middle school. This experience of preparing for a class lesson and standing by the chalkboard in front of my students changed my understanding of both language and teaching. While one certainly needs a solid foundation of grammar and vocabulary...

For me, tutoring isn't just a way to raise my students' grades or test scores (though...

...all ages with educational companies such as Brooklyn Youth Sports Club and the National Summer School Institute. I specialize in English, Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Writing, and Editing. In my sessions I look to cultivate a balance between establishing a good rapport with my students while committing to doing hard work together.

...taught college composition and literature for twenty-two years, twelve as a tenured professor. When I am helping students with their writing, I ask them a lot of questions so that I know what they want to say. I never want to to put words in their mouths. I want to help them express their ideas clearly, and want them to understand the concepts that will enable them to write clearly on their own.

...broaden my knowledge of literature and writing techniques. In high school, I was constantly helping my peers in english classes, eventually progressing to the point where I was occasionally getting paid to edit college essays in an unofficial capacity. Having taken multiple AP english exams as well as the SAT and ACT less than two years ago, I am well-prepared to provide students with test-taking tips directly applicable to current versions of those tests. I...

...University and UC-Boulder. While at the University of Iowa, I taught History of Theatre, Playwriting I, and Script Analysis. In both History of Theatre and Script Analysis, I required my students to write a well-developed, compelling, argumentative paper.

It's important to me that my students know how to craft a compelling argument and can articulate...

I feel the most comfortable tutoring Math, Reading, Homework Help, Study Skills and Study Help. I can help students prepare for assessments by...
