I would use both fiction and non-fiction reading sources to promote comprehension of text,... which heavily focused on annotation in the areas of organization, word choice, and tone, as well as tips and strategies to decode the questisons. read more

Hello everyone! I am Amy, a public school retiree for the last 2 years after a 32 year career in teaching English - grammar, writing, and reading at the high school and college levels. I currently re... side in Indian Trail, NC. I like tutoring because working with students keeps me young. After spending most of my life with students, I miss the interactions and relationships I built through helping young people become confident in their grammar and writing abilities. I work at the your speed and will tailor my lessons around you as an individual, whatever you need the most. I have always enjoyed getting to know people. I have a friendly and confident approach to everyone I meet, whether inside or outside the classroom. I like to infuse humor into my lessons whenever appropriate. Beyond that, family is very important to me. I have two adult children, one grandson, and three dogs at the moment, but I will always welcome more. Thanks for stopping by - I hope to see you soon!
