I have over 8 years experience tutoring math and science to all age groups. All of my students meet or exceed their academic goals. My goal is to show students the love of learning and how education can equal power. How I meet my goal is by using benchmarks to create lesson plans that help student enjoy learning. For example creation of take home study sheet enforcing math vocabulary for students who enjoy their English studies over Math. I also feel regular communication with parents is necessary for a student to achieve. Last summer I was able to help a student skip one math grade level in middle school. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from The Evergreen State College, with a focus in chemistry. I have worked in my field of study and still do. Alone with working in a scientific lab, I am working towards creating a sustainable nonprofit tutoring center with other tutors. The center is one of two non profit tutoring center in the U.S. offering help in math and science. I am now to tutoring English and Writing; however, I believe writing is a complex intellectual task. It involving many component skills, some of which students may lack completely, some of which they may have only partially mastered. These skills involve: Reading comprehension Analytical skills (Critical Thinking skills) Writing skills, including: *writing mechanics: grammar, sentence structure, spelling, etc. *planning a writing strategy *communicating ideas in a well-organized, clear and concise manner *constructing a reasoned, demonstrable argument *effectively researching evidence and using sources appropriately When students lack skills in these areas, their writing may be unsatisfactory in multiple ways -- from poor grammar and syntax to unclear organization or weak reasoning and arguments. Complicating matters is the fact that many students' reading skills may also be poor. For example, if they cannot recognize the main point of an argument in their reading, they cannot respond to this point in their writing. In addition, students may lack the meta-cognitive skills to recognize the areas in which their prior knowledge and skills are insufficient -- and thus which skills they need to improve. This is where a writing tutor can help. With the aid of a good tutor, students can gain the knowledge and skills needed to improve their writing ability. A tutor will be able to recognize where a student needs the most help and design lessons to provide support as students continue to learn and hone their skills.
