Brielle
Published Writer and Lecturer
One of my hopes, as a writer and teacher, is to build spaces that let investigation happen. As a Tutor of Writing, Literature, Reading, and Public Speaking, I will encourage this way of dialogue. My writing and teaching practice is concentrated on evaluating precise and relevant questions. Questions make shifts in thinking. Thoughts move and interactions evolve. This potentially transformative process inspires me to deepen your writing practice. In my previous work as a Writing Center Tuto... Read more

Amber
Literature Teacher

I also believe that the reader/audience needs to place himself in each text that is read. One should be able to step back, evaluate the situation at hand, and respond in an academic fashion....

Ryan
Experienced, Friendly, and Perspicacious
Ryan loves to tutor students because the direct and engaging nature of tutoring can be far more helpful to students than the monologues regular of teachers with many students. It is not uncommon for students that think differently than the average student in a class to be neglected. His services stand out because they target students' strengths and weaknesses uniquely and without prejudice or bias based on what works for others. Ryan has been tutoring during most of his formal education. H... Read more

Michael
Classically Trained Piano Instructor
Hello: I am very excited that you are considering me to be your piano tutor. Whether one is performing or listening, music is supposed to be enjoyed.

And success would be defined as how far along they come after a month, several months, or years. Some of the warm-up skills I focus on are: scales, arpeggios (... Read more
