Effective Writing & Grammar Tutor

Jennifer R.

I've always loved teaching, and even as a child, tutored a family member for a few weeks. With varied academic interests, I majored in music in college, but also earned my elementary education teaching certificate through coursework in a master's program. I taught 5th grade for 5 years, and enjoyed teaching all of the basic subjects. I also grew up in a home where English grammar and writing were highly valued.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have also worked for two different tutoring companies, assisting students from pre-kindergarten through junior high in reading, writing and math skills. I think it's important to carefully and thoroughly explain the subject at hand, and also utilize thoughtful questions to encourage the student to discover the concepts and patterns for himself/herself. There's nothing more satisfying for a teacher than to see the "light go on" in a student's mind when understanding is achieved. I hope that I can be of help to your student and have a part in him/her gaining skill and confidence in the desired areas of learning. Parental input and insight is welcome in discovering the best ways to work with your student.

Communication is an invaluable ability we've been given, and developing that ability in speaking and writing is essential. I consider myself a "word" person, looking up the meanings of new words, studying grammar, using my writing skills for everyday purposes. Spelling has always come quite easy for me. As for Bible study, it's been a lifelong pursuit, and I enjoy designing my own studies whether topical, character, or an entire book.

I love working with students and value the one-to-one teaching/learning relationships that tutoring affords. If I can be of help to you or your student, please contact me to schedule lessons.
