I tutored a grad student at TWU for a year. She is finishing her degree this semester, so I am seeking a few new students. I am highly proficient in English grammar, literature, and writing. I ...

My 8+ years experience as an assistant in special education, as a substitute teacher, and as a private tutor included working with ADD/ADHD students. I helped them with daily assignments, homework, studying for tests, and helping to administer tests in the academic support center at the high school level.

I'm a unique case: a high-functioning Asperger's student trying to overcome anxiety issues, I needed organizational and motivational help on a research paper rather than specific expertise in the subject area. As an English major, Charles S. knew quite little regarding Intelligent Systems or fuzzy logic based computational algorithms. However, this was no obstacle! He was able to understand and take an interest in the subject matter when explained, and in fact encourage explanations out of me as a means to further refine my own knowledge of the researched topics. Mr. S. speaks in a methodical, winding manner, yet at no point did my time spent with him feel wasted. His instincts on grammar and writing organization are honed when it comes to business, and in breaks, he's an interesting conversation partner who can take an interest in your own interests, great at making you feel comfortable. I can understand that this factor is important when working with those on the Asperger's spectrum! He was even careful to take note of our larger breaks and exclude them from the clock. I contracted for help in overcoming my fears, moving forward step by step on a very ambiguous, complicated project. Thanks to my sessions with Mr. S., regardless of the project's eventual outcome, I received exactly what I'd hoped to out of the experience: the confidence that with help to take the right steps, I can work diligently and overcome the toughest challenges my graduate program has to throw at me.

Great tutor. Awesome tutor to analyze the student weakness before any tutoring session starts. He can provide all help required and is able to understand the student's disabilities and take it from there. He is very patient with student. I highly recommend Charles S.

Charles is very patient and will help you to the maximum. I am working on a paper, this particular graduate professor is very strict and very technical. Charles helped me 100% and believe I will earn a great grade. Enjoyed working with him.
