Everyone Can Learn!

- Feura Bush , New York ( 12067 )

Hello, I have been in education for many years, and have raised four grown children. Over the years as a tutor, teacher, adjunct instructor, and an academic advisor, I can honestly say with conviction that every student has the ability to learn. As Howard Gardiner suggests, we all have multiple intelligences. I believe it is the responsibility of the tutor and teacher to determine each student's specific learning style, and teach to this intelligence. With my background in psychology... Read more

I can teach you how to write smoothly, clearly, concisely, and in an even tone. Good writing starts with organizing your thoughts and ends with work that is attractively laid out on the page. Between these two points lie using standard grammar and punctuation, choosing the right words, omitting what is unnecessary, and editing your work. Not only can I teach you what to do, but also how you can put the lessons into practice according to your own pace and temperament. Law is a literary... Read more
Joseph
Full-time lecturer at the U of Albany in the writing program
I've been teaching composition and literature for ten years now--it never gets tiring. The truth is that I've always enjoyed the concept of transferring knowledge. It's exciting to see a student begin to understand a difficult concept. As a full-time lecturer in the Writing & Critical Inquiry program at the University at Albany, I am specially trained to help students learn to write more clearly and precisely. Every student, however, does not achieve the same goals in the same time. It is imp... Read more
