Geoffrey
College English Tutor • +23 Subjects
I have taught high school English, mostly in private schools, for 15 years. In that time, I have taught ninth through twelfth graders, journalism, AP and IB English courses, advised the student newspaper, coordinated and moderated the yearly debates for the student UNIS-UN committee, and sat on the admissions committee.I helped design Freshman curricula to encourage students to get used to high school expectations and sophomore curricula aimed at preparing students for IB study should they choose to pursue that path.Those years included creative writing of poetry and short fiction as well as study of the personal essay modelled on writings of authors such as Loren Eisley, Joan Didion, James Baldwin, and Alice Walker. There is more to writing than crafting a persuasive critical paper about a work of fiction.It was also the responsibility of the English Department to review college essays for students before their formal submission. When I was not teaching English I was a law clerk with Lawyers for Human Right in South Africa during apartheid, the appellate division of the UnitedStates Attorneys office in D.C., and private practice with Jones Day Reavis and Pogue.But my first love is writing and teaching literature.

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am currently a Junior at The King's College in Manhattan. By May of 2016, I will have completed my Bachelor of Arts in Media, Culture and the Arts, with minors in Philosophy, Theology, and Business. Throughout high school, I had various teaching experiences as a horseback riding instructor, babysitter, and ESL tutor, and after my first year of college, I spent a summer in Kenya working with children through a local orphanage. I love English, reading, writing, and math most, but I am passionate about seeing students excel in all subjects. Oddly enough, I have always enjoyed standardized tests and love seeing students become comfortable with the form. I believe that learning is almost always a matter of crafting things that we already know together into new formats, and I love coming alongside students to aid in that process. Aside from studying, babysitting, and tutoring, you can find me cooking, reading, running, and humbly trying to grow houseplants.

I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and a teaching certificate in Secondary Education. Currently, I am attending Montclair University for my Master's in Educational Leadership. I have been teaching for six years in a variety of subjects, including Literature, Journalism, Public Speaking, Modes of Writing, and SAT. As the Journalism teacher in my current school district, I have sole responsibility over the school newspaper. I have tutored students mostly at the high school level for SAT and Language Arts help, but also have some experience with middle and elementary school.As a teacher, I emphasize writing and communication as they are highly transferable skills in any field. I have high expectations of my students and teach a rigorous curriculum, some of which I designed myself. I always try to relate my lessons to real life or student interests. I often bring up pop culture references in my lessons.As for my personal life, some of my fandoms include: Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy, anime/manga, Lady Gaga, musicals, video games, DDP yoga, mud runs, rock climbing, and other generally "nerdy" things.

I believe effective instruction starts with students. Students are more likely to succeed if they believe they are valuable as individuals. All students should be valued. All students who are able should have a say in how they are taught. When these practices are established and reinforced, the individual student becomes intrinsically motivated to be productive. Only then will we see our children blossom into lifelong learners and productive citizens.I believe in the ability for all to learn and learning provides empowerment of the individual. If empowerment is not established and reinforced, even the most resilient student will be likely to fail to meet their potential and therefore fall into cycles of self defeat. It is our job as teachers to create learning environments to foster and provide opportunities for exposure to these truths.I think keeping an open mind to change and a sense of humor are also very important aspects of education. Character education that emphasizes tolerance and support will surely give our students valuable life skills. The heart is where great teaching comes from. If we teach our students to use their hearts and minds, we will surely see the benefits in generations to come.

Greetings! You have, through sheer virtue of your reading this document, decided to consider tutoring as an auxiliary means of learning, to which I applaud you. It is my firm belief, established through both observation and experience, that one-on-one teaching is an excellent (I would argue essential) way to bolster one's learning; for as much as the broad curricula of the day is expertly designed to fit the learning needs of the masses, it will, by nature, leave gaps in the micro-cognition of each student. This is where I and many others come in: to fill those gaps. For true mastery of a subject or field, I believe that having a teacher to take the time and effort with a student towards detailed learning can only, in time, prove beneficial in the grander understanding of a given topic. Every student (everyone, truly, for are we not all students?), in varying degrees of severity, learns differently, takes in the world around them differently, and manifests that information differently. No one teaching method could ever account for the infinite variable of personality and general humanness; hence the importance of one-on-one teaching. I take my position as a tutor seriously for this reason; I approach students with the understanding that they will not all be the same, and that each requires consideration for their respective characters, abilities, and desires. In short, I offer students a chance to learn above the common tide.

I am a former high school English instructor with a B.A. in English and a Master's in Education. Additionally, I am a published author with a background in journalism. I tutor students in writing, reading, essay editing, grammar and mechanics, college essays, literature, public speaking, test taking, and study skills. My passion for knowledge, my dedication to helping others, and my professional experience have allowed me to enhance understanding in students of all learning styles and at all levels of education. I persistently guide my students and bring out the best in them, and I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to do so.
Michael
ACT English Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in Political Science and Film/Television. Growing up in New York City, I attended The Allen Stevenson School and Columbia Preparatory School before heading to Chicago for college. I excelled academically in my undergraduate career particularly in the humanities and communication sciences. The root of my passion for tutoring is simple: I love working with others to tackle challenges and have deep-rooted passion for academics.There is no "right way to learn;" rather, everyone learns in a manner that is best for them. My ability to hone in on and adapt to an individual's unique learning style makes me a skilled communicator and educator. I firmly believe that establishing a strong personal connection and friendly relationship are essential for success in teaching and motivating students. I have helped students write their college and graduate school essays, become stronger and more confident readers, and develop strong analytical writing skills.The Humanities are my area of proficiency: English, Literature, Analysis, Public Speaking, Writing, Government/Politics, both SAT and ACT Reading and English, SAT Writing, and ACT Science.I want to ensure that every lesson proves valuable and thus never charge if a student or parent is not entirely satisfied. I also have a flexible schedule and 6 hour cancellation policy.Excited to start working with you and help improve your academic experience!
Joanna
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +73 Subjects
I am a certified English teacher at Cambridge High School. I hold a master's degree in English Education and bachelor's degrees in both English and Theater. I have worked as a tutor/instructor for eight years, and my experiences include tutoring ESL students in math and science, working at a theatre camp for five summers, and working at a science camp for two summers. I have also spent a great deal of time acting in various productions, directing several shows, and delivering speeches to different groups. Although I tutor in a broad variety of subjects, my passion lies in the teaching of writing, reading, drama, and public speaking. I find that the best way to engage students is by connecting what they are working on to their personal experiences. I believe that one of the main purposes to this great wealth of literature that we have at our disposal is to communicate shared experiences across the globe. When students find an engaging, practical reason to relate to what they are working on, inspiration flows and an attention to detail naturally follows. I strive to foster a sense of pride in my students; by building self-confidence, I bring out natural ability in my students that they might not know that they possess. In my free time, I enjoy reading, acting, writing, directing, cooking, and traveling.

English composition isn't an easy task for everyone. But I believe it is possible to lighten the load in regards to the difficulty of structuring papers in a persuasive manner. To many college students, the writing of essays is a very small part of their academic career. It's understandable why they might be out of practice with the persuasive writing process. It is always helpful to have a second set of eyes to assess the quality of a paper, specifically because the writer is bound to be biased towards the argument they are making. I believe that 4 years of experience in the composition of essays and my success in the English program of the University of Arizona have made me a valuable tool for anyone hoping to improve the quality of their writing.English and literature have been an important part of my life since elementary school. I grew up in East Hampton, New York with an overactive imagination that required constant stimulation. To pass the time (whenever my parents believed my video game addiction to be getting out of hand), I would create magical fantasy worlds full of sorcerers, dragons and chosen heroes. My love of the creation of something magical out of nothing led me to the world of theater. My sophomore year of high school, with several plays already under my belt, I discovered an appreciation for a writer that changed my life: William Shakespeare. After reading Hamlet for the first time, my English classes suddenly became more interesting, the stories that we read more meaningful. English was the only class I actively looked forward to. I was always excited to see how my reading of the text would match up with my teacher's opinion. This new enthusiasm helped me realize that I wanted to pursue English as a career.I enrolled in the University of Arizona on full academic scholarship in Fall 2013. I am currently majoring in English with a concentration in Shakespeare and British Literature, and minoring in Africana Studies. I am currently a second semester Junior in the Honors program, and I just closed out my hectic 18-unit Fall semester with a 4.0 GPA. This semester, I am only taking 15 units (and 2 of my 5 classes are online), so my schedule is very flexible. My tutoring abilities are not only limited to English. My experience in college essay composition extends to pretty much all General Education classes. My goals in working for this company are not just to provide an outside perspective in the arguments made in student's papers, but to help develop critical writing skills that have allowed me to succeed on a grading scale that is heavily weighted by the composition of essays. I actually have fun constructing (pretty much) any argument, so you can be assured that I will put forth a strong dedication in helping you improve your grades!

My goal in tutoring is focusing on each individual student to provide tutoring that works for you. I have a passion for knowledge - how to attain it and how to share it. Nothing leaves me as fulfilled as seeing a student's face light up in comprehension, to see the gears turn and connections form in their head.In terms of tutoring style, I emphasize a program of guided analysis. Each problem is broken down step by step, then each of those steps is thoroughly examined. This analysis fosters a deeper and more durable understanding of the subject matter, extending beyond rote memorization towards true proficiency.
