I have a fairly informal teaching style, and I tend to use a lot of humor. I try to connect the information I am trying to convey to what the student already knows, rather than simply provide facts to be learned by rote and regurgitated on an exam.
After college I worked for three years.During that time I applied and received a scholarship to the Medical College of Pennsylvania, from which I graduated in 1994. I completed an Internal Medicine Residency at MCP in 1997. After residency I worked as an attending physician in Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2000, and in Berlin, Maryland, from 2001 to 2004. In January, 2004, my wife became severely ill, and I decided to take time off to raise my two young daughters. I taught at the Dawn Training Center in Wilmington, DE, from May to October, 2006. I also have extensive experience teaching junior housestaff and Nurse Practitioner trainees.

I work with all children, teaching in elementary and secondary education.I believe all children can learn. Depending on their abilities, I would use different teaching strategies such as collaborative teaching, technology to encourage learning.
Currently, I work as a substitute teacher, teaching math and science at a local public school district. I hold a bachelor's degree in biology and associate's degree in computer network engineering, which provides me with a strong background in math and science. This can be demonstrated by my scores in the praxis exams. My passion is to teach and to help my students succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

In 2009, I graduated from Wesleyan University with two bachelors degrees, a BA in Government and a BA in Music. In combining two drastically different fields of study, I was able to develop a level of versatility and perspective that will serve me quite well as a tutor. One unifying theme in both disciplines is the necessity of strong reading and writing skills, which I believe I will be particularly adept in teaching.
I enjoy teaching students who are eager to improve their skills. I am very good at easing the anxiety that many students feel when faced with unsatisfactory grades while presenting information in a simple and approachable tone. I believe that most academic problems are the result of a breakdown in the fundamental skill set that students are expected to have. As a result, I find that working slowly and methodically to evaluate each necessary skill is the best approach ... read more

I firmly believe in affirming the gifts/talents in each child that I come in contact with. I believe that by working hard and being creative that I can inspire your child to achieve his/her goals. I am assertive, creative and encouraging. My number one goal is to get to know who I am working with and focus on their strengths.
As a graduate student at Immaculata University, I have learned what it means to be an effective teacher. I will be student-teaching 11th and 12th grade English at Renaissance Academy in the fall. I have also been hired as the head men's golf coach at Valley Forge Christian College and have worked with kids of all ages at my church for the past 3 years. Additionally, I have worked as a band coach at the Rock & Roll After School in Phoenixville.

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.
