As a tutor with a professional background in writing, my approach to teaching revolves around personalized engagement and fostering a creative, supportive learning environment. Here’s a glimpse into my teaching style and methodology:

Teaching Method and Techniques

My teaching philosophy centers on individualized attention, recognizing that each student has unique needs and learning styles. I incorporate a mix of direct instruction, hands-on practice, and constructive feedback. Techniques include:

Interactive discussions to explore different genres and writing techniques.
Writing workshops where students share work and receive feedback.
Prompt-based exercises to stimulate creativity and tackle writer's block.

Typical Lesson Plan

A lesson might unfold as follows:

Brief Discussion (10 minutes): We start by discussing a particular writing technique or concept, such as narrative voice or character development.
Writing Exercise (20 minutes): Students engage in a writing prompt designed to practice the day’s focus.
Review and Feedback (20 minutes): Students share their work and receive personalized feedback to improve their skills.
Wrap-Up (10 minutes): We conclude by reflecting on the lesson and setting goals for the next session.

What Sets Me Apart

What distinguishes me as a tutor is my professional writing experience coupled with a deep passion for teaching. I bring real-world insights into the writing process, from drafting to publication. My lessons are not just about improving writing skills but also about understanding the power of storytelling and its impact on readers.
Who the Lessons Are For

My lessons are tailored for a wide range of learners, including:

High School and College Students: Focusing on academic writing, essay composition, and creative writing projects.
Aspiring Writers: Individuals seeking to refine their craft, work on a specific project, or navigate the publishing industry.
Professionals: Looking to improve their business writing skills for better communication in the workplace.

By focusing on the joy of writing and the process of creating, I aim to inspire my students to find their voice and express themselves confidently and clearly.
