More About This Tutor...

After having the opportunity to tutor one-on-one and as a whole class, I have discovered that each student learns in a unique way. Some of the students were visual learners, while others needed more tactile experiences. Other students benefited from auditory learning. As a tutor, it is my responsibility to evaluate each student and determine what methods will work best with that individual.

I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.

My experience comes from a variety of places which accounts for my adaptability. I obtained an associates degree in Business Administration and went on to use that to get some experience in the business sector. I earned my Bachelors degree in Studio Arts and went on to get my Masters in Elementary Education. Since then I have used both my real world and my academic experience to teach students as both a classroom teacher and tutor. I have taught in the classroom to levels from Kindergarten through 3rd grade, and 7th grade as well. Additionally, in the past 2 years I have taught and tutored in test preparation for the SAT. In the 7 years I have now taught, it has become natural for me to assess and teach each student the best way for them.
I believe teaching should be an evolving, natural thing that constantly takes into account all the strengths and weaknesses presented, so that ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a student to be a skilled thinker and develop insight in any subject, he/she has to apply intellectual standards to access the information they receive in the classroom and eventually from the outside world. The teacher’s responsibility is to mold young minds by using a positive feedback mechanism to access the knowledge, skills, and more importantly the ability of students to apply their knowledge in a real life situation.

More About This Tutor...

I am keenly aware of how busy most students are, so my aim is for tutoring to feel like something they get to do and not something they have to do. Teaching revitalizes my own love for learning, a love I hope to impart in a gentle, patient manner. I believe in honoring the variance in learning styles, and I empower my students to engage with material in ways that feel natural to them.
I have implemented individualized reading and writing programs for students ranging from pre-K to adult; gave one-on-one attention to special needs students in phonics, context-based reading, and fact retention; cultivated students’ understanding of grammar/punctuation, sentence/paragraph construction, and general cohesiveness in creative and academic writing; worked one-on-one with high school students on SAT critical reading and writing sections, devoting extra attention to vocabulary expansion.

I love working with all children. I believe that every child has the potential to learn and I try very hard to find out what works for the individual learner. I am patient, easy-going, but I expect my students to set goals and put forth the effort required to meet them. I tend to take a constructivist approach to learning and like to draw on my students prior knowledge and experiences as well as their interests. I believe that I can make a difference in a child's life and I enjoy helping children establish a love for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

While studying Education at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, I had a chance to teach in numerous settings ranging from private, religiously affiliated institutions to public institutions. Engaging students in both rural and urban settings, I witnessed firsthand the power of learning. Learning can inspire, motivate, and lift a student to embrace his or her full potential. Learning can expose all of the "good" despite the frightening uncertainty of everyday life. Learning can shift the direction of a human life. I believe every student should have an opportunity to learn and grow. By helping others discover the power of learning, I hope to grow as an individual throughout the process.
I have had an opportunity to study at two reputable universities in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia area. Through this educational journey, I have received a BS in Secondary Education, BA in Engli ... read more
