I have experience working with students from Kindergarten through adult education. My earliest teaching experience was with primary grade children (K-2) in an inner-city school district. I taught basic skills to incarcerated men in a NJ Correctional Facility. I have experience working with first generation college students in need of remedial coursework before advancing to college level courses. I'm currently working (part-time) teaching GED writing and math, 2 evenings a week. I combine a variety of teaching styles to accommodate student's learning style. When it comes to GED instruction, I would say that math is my strong suit. I always try to find examples of how certain skills could be applied to real life experiences.

I have been tutoring since 2004 both privately and employed. I had worked at The Tutoring Center at St. Dominic's parish on Frankford Ave., in NE Phila. from 2004 until it closed in 2009. I have also tutored privately in the past and continue to do so. I have tutored students from preschool all the way up to college. I have helped students who were behind not only catch up to their current grade level but also stay current with their present material. The Key for me is to Make Learning as Fun & as Easy as you can! Bc the more a student likes what he/she is learning the more he/she will want to learn! And to do that, you have to Know your student - his/her learning process. I also make a point to ask my students what they like & then I use that to make my lessons Fun & Enjoyable rather than a Chore or something they don't want to do! I also Explore Why they find a particular topic hard an

I teach reading (communication skills) as a College Professor and I have written articles, such as "An Introduction to Computer Literacy", for reading textbooks. I have helped many students to learn to read faster and with more comprehension. I am patient and understanding. In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I abs

No student is built the same way. As a tutor, I mold my style to the needs of my students. I am a college student who pursues a plethora of creative pursuits with much passion. I am finishing up my bachelor's in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, and will soon be marketing myself as a freelancing designer for the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Before college, I taught myself the entire Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and how to build websites. This has always been in the direction that I have been interested, and I want to give that passion and knowledge to those who see themselves going in a similar direction.

My experience entails a well rounded experience of teaching students from preK to adult. My most important position was acting as Director of Education for Sylvan Learning, where I basically ran the learning center.

My style is more formal with the beginning students who need a lot of structure and have to do repetitive exercises to beging the process of learning English as a second language. Overall, as the students advance in their knowledge I have them leave the classroom and interview teachers or other people and then they are videotaped and they can write their own material. So the teaching style is more fluid then at the beginning. I have taught in both high school the last 7 years and college for 2 years teaching reading and writing. I have taught English in the summers 2007-2010 to International Students. I have taught reading, writing, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary. I have done prep for the HSPA prior to the test.
