I’ve been working as an English tutor for a few years now.

I’ve worked … More Interested in becoming a tutor? Read this
If you were to ask any random child how they felt about the idea of having, or needing, a tutor, chances are they would likely say they aren’t entirely enthusiastic about the idea.

I’ve worked with a variety of … More Writing exercises: kid edition
I’ve made mention here on my blog of my tutoring business, and for the topic of today’s post, allow me to make mention of it once more.

I recently took on a new tutoring client. The client in question is 10 years of age, and, actually, they just turned 10 a couple of weeks ago.

After reading the title of this post, I figured I should probably stipulate that when I say contractions, I am referring to the grammatical kind, not the pains that are experienced once a woman is in labour. Had I not stipulated which version of the word contraction I am discussing in this post, I may … More Understanding contractions
As I have mentioned here on my blog before, I’ve been dabbling in English tutoring, part-time, for a few months now.

Within the past couple of months, I’ve been dabbling in tutoring. More specifically, I’m tutoring folks who are looking for some assistance pertaining to the English language, and I’ve been enjoying it so far.
