About Barbara

I have four graduate degrees: MAs in English, Theology, General Psychology and an MS in Clinical Psychology. As a graduate assistant and private tutor, I tutored graduate and undergraduate students in writing papers for class and dissertations following APA and MLA styles both on the ground and online. I also have tutored elementary home-school students in English and math skills development. Utilizing my psychology and educational background, I know how to lessen writing anxiety.

About the lesson

I have MAs degrees in English and Psychology which have helped me become an effective writing tutor. As a part of my graduate study, I have also taken courses, including Teaching Writing, toward my MA in English Education. I have found from tutoring students starting at age 10 through graduate school, that many people who have difficulty writing also have a strong fear of it. I find that once I am able to get students to overcome their fear of writing, their writing improves dramatically. To help students overcome their fear, I use the free-writing approach and add other components of writing such as organization, spelling, grammar, syntax and style after the students have written their ideas on paper in this free-flowing style. I encourage students to have fun writing and to view writing as a form of communication and not as an artificial assignment that they have to complete following certain requirements. To this end, I give students much positive reinforcement and offer constructive criticism which they can follow without much effort. An unique part of my teaching approach is that I use text-to-speech software programs so that students can read and listen to their writing simultaneously. In addition, I help students use the Internet to find answers to their writing questions. Through my teaching methods and collaboration, I aim to help students become independent and comfortable writers.

Barbara was a teaching assistant (TA) in my undergraduate, Research Methods course. Barbara had an excellent rapport with the students. One of Barbara's strongest assets was her ability to constructively criticize students' research papers. She offered suggestions for improvement in such a way that flaws were clearly spelled out, but the student's self-esteem wasnot compromised. Barbara's breadth of knowledge, communication skills, and reliability led to her being well-liked by the students.
