Larissa - Kilburn tutor






Information About Larissa:


Personal Description:

I am a former writer and editor for New York Moves Magazine, now based in London. I received my BA in the "Great Books" program at St. John's College, a broad-based curriculum of the seminal works in philosophy, literature, history, math, and science. I am about to receive my MA degree in Classical Theatre from Central School of Speech and Drama.



Teaching Experience:

I tutored for a year in New York under the federal "No Child Left Behind" program, and before that, led daycare sessions at the San Francisco Tennis Club, for children ages 1-6 years.



Tutoring Approach:

I examine what work the student is doing in school, where he is having difficulties, and try to determine from where those difficulties stem. I prefer to ask leading questions rather than to merely correct mistakes; I find the student begins to understand more quickly and thoroughly that way. When editing written work, I advise the writer on how to improve the work for clarity and elegance, pointing out structural and stylistic problems, and encouraging the writer to make those changes himself before I offer my own solutions.
