Tutoring Style and/or Experience

Teaching style:

As an aspiring professor and someone who has tutored for several years I've cultivated a certain set of teaching style. I believe what works best when tutoring is understanding each child's individual needs and his or her learning style. I don't have a cookie cutter method of how I teach each student. I typically try to assess where exactly the student's weaknesses and strengths are and then find a method of helping him or her learn. I've also learned that patience is key. I like to make sure that a student not only learns the material thoroughly but that he or she learns at a comfortable pace.


Subjects:

English, Literature, Writing, Reading, Grammar, Proofreading, SAT writing and reading, ACT English and GRE verbal.

I'm also certified to teach adobe photoshop and study skills.

Helping students put together personal statements and essays for college applications is another area of expertise.
