Reasons for tutoring  

​

• Grades could use improvement 

• English skillsets could use improvement (typically writing) 

• Homework is overwhelming because the student is focused on other priorities (work, building skills in other areas), hasn't had adequate training in the past with the skillsets (they moved from French immersion, their past teachers didn't help them catch up to speed, they have a learning disability like ADHD, dyslexia, or other).​

​

My approach to tutoring

 

• Rubrics: I use rubrics, assignments, homework, and feedback to get students completing projects and understanding feedback. I believe that many attempts to complete a writing project with feedback about errors and areas of improvement along with a clear rubric is a great learning approach for building writing skills. 

• Resources: I use whatever resources are available to help students - online books, publically available articles, journal research from libraries, YouTube videos, and interactive presentations are all part of the study program. Whatever helps the student is what I try to provide as a resource for their evaluation. 

• Interests: I work with students based on their interests. I believe that learning has to be, above all else, enjoyable. If the student isn't enjoying the process, I'm not teaching well. So, I strive to make all classes interesting, positive, and productive (meaning that it'll help the student achieve their goals). 

• Homework focused: I always give students homework. Unfortunately, without doing homework, a student cannot improve at whatever skillset they're dealing with. I try not to overdo it with homework. I am flexible when it comes to completion times, and if student aren't doing my homework, I try to adjust it so that they're more inclined to do it. ​​
