A Little Bit About Me...

I love to share my knowledge and share my skills with others in a way to help them learn and grow. The way that I do this is by: 1) evaluate the child's skills, 2) acknowledge the child's skills and build his/her confidence as a stepping stone for future learning, 3) work to add to the current skills by adding to them. My greatest tutoring experience was teaching a mature adult man to read. I was able to improve his life by teaching him reading skills. His driving skills improved because he learned to read road signs. I also helped him build life skills such as learning how to write checks and balance his checkbook.
During the last 10 years, I have been a Peer Tutor to University students, a Literacy Tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America, and an individual tutor to local children. I have extensive experience with all types of writing skills: from poem writing, to letter wri ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I work with the student's strengths to ascertain their learning style and then apply these to the area needing improvement. No one style will work for every child. Therefore, I work independently with each child's style and work to make a marked improvement in their success.
As a full time tutor and academic coach, I have spent 1000+ hours privately tutoring, holding classes and teaching middle and high school to understand the many learning styles needed to achieve success. I possess an BA in English and an MBA in Human Resources. After 30 years in Corporate America, I retired early and returned to teaching, tutoring and coaching.

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.

I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but also spent considerable time taking math and science courses. My writing skills also significantly developed during this time, and particularly came to full fruition during my graduate work in Art History. For both my BA and MA degrees, I had to produce unique, independently researched theses that were at least 12,000 words in length. Since then, I have delved into the sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where I completed all necessary pre-medical coursework. I have also been working with special needs children in Philadelphia public ... read more

My teaching style is based upon where the student is in terms of their educational level. I work very hard at understanding the student's academic needs. Then I assist the student in improving their educational skills in the subject being studied. I always emphasize the fact that everyone is capable of learning and that mastering the language of any academic discipline is part of becoming proficient in it.
My educational background in the sciences [chemistry, medical biology, and medicine]. and music has enabled me to have a broad range of academic experiences. I specialize in instructional learning in the arts and sciences, specifically medicinal biology and music. Because I do scientific research and writing, I have skills related to the language arts as well as computer science. I have experience teaching and tutoring various subjects on all levels, from preschool to coll ... read more

Children as well as well as young adults learn fairly different. I attempt to learn the person i am working with and find their strength as well as weakness. I also give my clients various methods on how to study, memorize and get over exam anxiety as i had to learn what worked for me. So my teaching is contingent upon the individual i am working with.
I have a bachelor degree in biology from a private institution in New York Long Island University.I First began to teach with my father who is a GED instructor for the haitian community and i was a English instructor for his program. I went on to become a biology teacher for a urban school in philadelphia. I enjoy working with students and helping them to increase their ability in the area in which they struggle. I am engaged in various activities with our youth in my church and within the community. I hope to use my influential skil ... read more

Working with kindergarden through Adulthood, I work with a student to help them get to where they can be their best. Additionally, it is always my mission to teach the student self confidence and basic study skills in order for them to compete with their classmates or to compete with others similarly situated. I work with students one on one or in a small classroom setting. I get the children actively involved in the learning process and I help them to learn how to conquer their study weaknesses.

My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the academic world once again -this time as the teacher - I am currently in the middle of getting my certificate for subbing, as well as seeking employment/ my certificate through Teach for America. I have gained experience that has helped me prepare to be a fantastic tutor: I took my PRAXIS exam and scored 90% on all three subject matters, I have tutored special needs students at the high school level, I have tutored ESL, and have been both a day camp and wildnerness guide, leading and teaching people of all ages and backgrounds. I love helping people reach their full potential. My goal is to see the proud expression on a student's face that says "I get it!"

Simply put, I firmly believe that all children can learn and achieve at a high level. Student achievement correlates directly with expectation. Unfortunately, for many students expectations are low. High expectations lead to high achievements. As a teacher, it is my job to find ways to motivate my students to learn. This can be accomplished in many different ways. Differentiated instruction is the first step; students learn in differently and at their own pace. I need to be aware of this. Another way I keep students motivated is by changing the delivery of instruction; everyday, I do something different to deliver the material. I also try to make it relevant, so my students remain interested. These strategies and methods serve to make a positive impact on my students' lives.
Coming from a family of educators, I have always had a desire to teach and instruct. My areas ... read more

After receiving my undergraduate degree from University of DE and my master's degree from Wesley College I pursued my passion of giving back. I currently work with college students helping them explore their inner leadership abilities. I've brainstormed, researched, created, and implemented a retention-driven mentor program for underrepresented students. I use both of my degrees every day; serving as a voice for underrepresented populations and I thoroughly enjoy budgeting and planning for the Office of Student Life. I enjoy supervising students of all ages, majors, and background. Also, I supervise undergraduate research utilizing not only my interpersonal skills but also my grammatical skills.
During the past 7 years I have served as a mentor to a number of students watching them graduate from high school and go on to succeed in college and beyond. I love serving as a mentor and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, their understanding is broadened and 99% of the time embedded in the longterm memory. That to me is not only developing the ability to draw on a built up knowledge base, but also broadens ones ability to convey what has been learned.
I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communi ... read more
