More About This Tutor...

I have worked in a number of positions that have required me to teach and train, whether that be as an instructor at a local radio station who was responsible for preparing DJs to broadcast or a tutor in Hong Kong who was responsible for developing the English skills of a number of non-native speakers at all levels. My experience is backed up by my certification to teach English as a second language and a track record as somebody who writes at a professional level.
I prefer one-on-one work with the students that stresses not simple correction or copy editing but legitimate comprehension on the part of my charges. My teaching style is comprehensive and rigorous and requires serious involvement and passion on the student's part. I do not hand-hold and I do not coddle but I am not uncaring: students learn best from experience, and that's something I can provide.

Teaching has always been my career dream. I feel personally fulfilled in making a positive difference in a persons life. I truly believe that every student has the potential to increase their chances of having a positive and successful career through education. I try to motivate and find what is the best way to release their untapped potential. This takes patience, foresight and an unquenching willingness to go the proverbial "extra mile." I utilize my excellent communication skills and logical approaches to develop and implement learning methods that help the student "learn how to learn," and ultimately enjoy it.
Three years ago, I changed my career from being a Human Resources professional to pursue my lifelong dream of teaching school and coaching. When I was a HR professional, my niche was developing and conducting career and professional skill workshops. Over the last th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My passion for education blossomed while volunteering as a tutor with Somali refugee children in Pittsburgh, PA during college. I worked with families in their homes to develop English reading, writing, and speaking skills. After graduating with a B.A. in History and Political Science I joined Teach For America, where I taught first grade for two years and substitute taught pre-kindergarten through fifth grade for one year. A major focus while teaching first grade was developing literacy skills and instilling a love and enthusiasm for reading and writing in my students.
The most important thing about my teaching style is that I believe every child can achieve academic excellence and can be interested in learning. I believe that it is up to me, as a teacher or a tutor, to engage the student(s). A huge part of this is being very transparent about where the student starts, what our go ... read more
