Now that the garlic is all braided and almost all sold, my attention turns in earnest to finding new students to tutor. And just in time as the academic year gears up.

It is a great joy to meet with the same student for a session each week. We look at what tasks they are developing for various classes and study strategies to help them complete those tasks successfully. There is nothing better than receiving a text from the student: “Ms. Deborah, I got 97% on my AP practice Multiple Choice (MC) exam!” I am as excited as the student. It is delightful to see their skills and confidence develop week by week, term by term, and course by course.

As the student is more independent of my help because they have integrated skills into their planning and drafting processes, I seek new strategies for the next assignments they will encounter in their courses. I let the student guide me to know what task or skills they need for upcoming assignments. We rely on teacher scoring rubrics, comments and in class instruction to be sure my instruction is in sync with what the student is receiving in class.

After more than 30 years of full-time High School teaching, a few years ago, I retired. Since then, I’ve discovered online tutoring services who provide an online platform to tutors. I am approved to tutor students who come to their websites. I enjoy working with one student at a time and guiding each one to hone their writing skills to revise and polish their documents.

In recent months I established my own private tutoring service Tutor with Deborah Lynn C, meeting on the WYZANT.com online platform for sessions. WriteRightWithAntDebLynn

Tutoring isn’t just for kids. Most of my students are in college or returning for post graduate degrees.

Request a session if you have a project for which you’d like tutoring. This link https://is.gd/uqVDmo takes you to WYZANT where you can request a session with me or someone who tutors a different subject.

I work with college students in a variety of courses and HS students, most of whom are in college level courses—AP Language and Composition, AP Literature, as well as Honors and Advanced English. I also tutor if you want to:

• develop strategies to overcome anxiety regarding essays, exams, research or text analysis and synthesis.

• draft essays and other documents for course assignments.

• develop speeches and power point presentations.

• prepare an application for college entrance or an award.

• write newsletters.

• write blogs.

• design and revise team email.

• develop inner-office communications for your work place.

I greatly enjoy collaborating with writers and offering lessons so they can polish their writing skills to craft their very best documents!
