Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I have been tutoring for many years. Each of my students improved at least one grade. Instructors in classes would ask me to help those who were having difficulty, which led me to begin tutoring while in college. Teaching is my first love, and I continue to teach the little ones in our family as part of every-day life.

Because of my studies of French, Spanish and English, I have had a lot of grammar, and I have kept my old grammar book detailing methods not used today, such as diagramming. I rely on tools that have served for generations as the basis for instruction. I do not divert instruction away from the book/subject matter, but do use materials to enhance what the student is learning in the text book.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, as one cannot explain everything you might need for your student in this space.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With all sincerity,

Deborah T.

Grammar

Grammar is the structure of a sentence where each word has a function. We know this naturally, but there are guidelines and rules that help us communicate better then when we do not use them. Diagramming is an old technique that helps people as well.

Grammar is something that I love to discuss, learn about and teach.

If you feel I might be able to enlighten you about our language, please consider me as your tutor.

Reading

Many instructors teach a traditional method, which is fine. I do also, but I add the importance of the function of each word. Diagramming is a tool not used today, but it was used when I learned. I kept my grammar book that shows how to diagram. It also is a fun tool to use.

I like to teach a game to younger students that leads them to proper use of words - the parts of speech. I enjoyed it in the 4th grade, though I was fine in using the traditional method of learning.

Writing

Instructors no longer use diagraming to assist in explaining the function of words in a sentence. This is an important tool when coupled with intent, grammatical structure and punctuation when the student is laboring over how to express meaning. I have kept my grammar books that show how this is done.
I am a published author, and compiled a Communications thesis at Pepperdine University that was among other examples of writing for future students. My instructor had me present my thesis at... Read More

English

Understanding the wonder of the world that opens up to a person once he learns to read is something many people bypass. I emphasize it with children because reading is the basis for any successful future. Children have such creativity, inspiration and energy that I try to tap into all of this in the course of the tutoring.

The basics of grammar can begin at an early age with great results.

I invite you to consider me as a tutor for your young student.

Sincerely,

ESL/ESOL

I was a French/Spanish major for my first Associates of Arts degree, and throughout my education, I have always been drawn to foreign students. I would go to soccer games with them and spend time with their families. When I was 20, I traveled to Europe for 5 weeks on my own. I stayed part of the time with a French family. It was at that time that I was as foreign people are here - not able to communicate in a land with different customs. I have a sense of estrangement that newcomers feel when... Read More
