Jersey City, NJ Writing Tutors

I have over five years of experience teaching writing to all levels and special needs (children-adults). Students will have fun writing poems, short stories, and essays. My teaching goal is to increase students self esteem and confidence.

Ever since I was a child, I absolutely loved to write. During my sessions as creative writing tutor, I hope to foster that same love for writing. My students are challenged to stay true to their own voice while simultaneously considering craft, style, syntax, structure, and the myriad elements of engaging, successful writing. My sessions can be catered to a specific goal (standardized testing), or can be an open-ended experience invaluable to academic success.

Writing instruction for classroom, assessment, and proficiency.

Writing is a process and everyone works differently. I work well with everything from planning work to editing and restructuring. My years of lit-based education have enabled me to encounter many different styles of writing and therefore I have a great deal of respect for the process of putting pen to paper. Tutoring college students with all different backgrounds taught me how to hone in on both strong and weak aspects of writing.

Having worked as an assistant to the head of pedagogy at Purchase College, I have had experience with hands-on assignment building and was often instrumental in assisting students with very challenging materials.

Repetition, repetition, repetition. The more you write, the better you get at it.

I give my kids example prompts- we review them. For homework, I have them do a writing on their own and we make corrections together.

I have been teaching and tutoring ESL for many years now, both in the USA and even abroad. I scored a 5 on both my AP Language and AP Literature exams. I have experience also teaching the SAT Writing section and essay. I also have experience with writing personal statements and résumés.

- sentence types
- subject and predicate
- proper and common nouns
- active and passive voice
- personal pronouns
- articles etc

My approach to teaching writing begins with learning where the student is currently at ability wise, then taking the time to build a custom lesson plan that will cater to strengthening current weaknesses while not being boring or generic.

I'll help you write essays for high school or college.

I want to help you find your voice on the page! Organizing one's thoughts can be difficult, whether it's to write a research paper, to tell a story, or to complete a homework assignment. I am passionate about writing, and I also love to teach students. I have worked as a tutor and teaching assistant at a college for several years now, and I specialize in upper level school, but can also tutor elementary and middle school students.
