Bio

Hello Student,

Since 2003, I have provided Academic Support to both Undergraduate and Graduate Students. My area of specialty is working with students who are participating in Academic Support programs that provide a wide-range of retention services for students entering their first year of college. I have been a WyzAnt Tutor for more than eight years, and enjoy providing services to students who are seeking an alternative to in-person instruction for whatever reason.

Hello Student,

Since 2003, I have provided Academic Support to both Undergraduate and Graduate Students. My area of specialty is working with students who are participating in Academic Support programs that provide a wide-range of retention services for students entering their first year of college. I have been a WyzAnt Tutor for more than eight years, and enjoy providing services to students who are seeking an alternative to in-person instruction for whatever reason.

On the Wyzant platform, I provide assistance to STUDENTS who are:

1) Currently Enrolled UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS needing assistance with completion of General Essay Writing and Discussion Posts for English 1301/ English 1302 and/ or General/Intro to Psychology or Abnormal Psychology coursework.

2) ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS (ESLL), CURRENTLY ENROLLED at a Community College seeking academic support toward completion of General Essay Assignments and/or Discussion Posts for ENG 1301 and ENG 1302

My Tutor/Teaching Styles:

1) DEMONSTRATIVE: The teacher/tutor imparts information to the students via lectures, assigned readings, audio/visual presentations, demonstrations, role playing, and other means. Students gain information primarily by listening, taking notes, doing role plays, and practicing what they are told to do. The only feedback the teacher looks for is: Do you understand the instructions?

2) DISCUSSING: The teacher/tutor promotes learning through interaction. In this style, practiced by Socrates, the teacher encourages critical thinking and lively discussion by asking students to respond to challenging questions. The teacher is a facilitator guiding the discussion to a logical conclusion. Students learn to have opinions and to back them up with facts and data.

3) DELEGATING: The teacher/tutor promotes learning through empowerment. With this style, the teacher assigns tasks that students work on independently, either individually or in groups.

I look forward to working with you.

Best Regards,
Devril

Jihee, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of my services. The Research & Design course is admittedly quite challenging especially if the student is not planning to enter this area of Psychology. However, all coursework is beneficial and not without gain for later use in life or education endeavor. Even with the basic knowledge you have gained in the course you will be able to help a fellow student.

a smart helpful tutor

This tutor is a good helpful tutor. She tries her best to help me to learn and she helps me if I get stuck. She also helps me to find good sources just so that I can make a better paper, and I would give her a 10 out of 10. In addition to her being helpful and a good tutor, she is entertaining and she is a cool and patient person. I will continue to have sessions with her.

Cheyene, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of my service. I genuinely enjoyed working with you--seeing how you persevered with developing your Discussion Posts for your English Writing course. You absolutely stayed the course, was determined to complete the Research necessary to develop and defend your Essay assignment which prepares you for future coursework that requires the knowledge of searching resource articles, college writing, and the strategies for writing.

Amazing Tutor

Ms. Devril W. is the perfect tutor, the one we dream about. She has many different skills to help me improving, such as practice academic listening and reading online. Also she recommended activities to enhance my vocabulary and my writing. The most important thing she has been doing during our time together is supporting and encouraging me to focus on my goals and never give up. I am feeling lucky to have your lessons. Thank you!!!

Very Efficient, Patient, Flexible, Honest, Positive

My first tutoring session with Ms. Devril overall was a great experience. I plan on continuing to work with her throughout my graduate program. She and I will work closely together to improve my writing skills. I was very impressed with the improvements we made within our first session on a rough draft copy of my paper. One of the reasons I feel that my first session with Ms. Devril was a success, she was able to quickly identify my level of writing skills and work at a pace that was comfortable for me. She also recognized my strengths and areas for improvement. She provided honest feedback and training material that will help to improve my writing. What was also impressive is her wisdom and ability to work with students of any education level, profession, or program to meet their needs. She is easy to reach, flexible, and always willing to extend help. She also has very good timing when it comes to followup and feedback. I feel that I can count on her as my tutor, even if I need her help at the last minute. I feel that by working with Ms. Devril, my writing skills will improve drastically.
