More About This Tutor...

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more

Over the past twenty years of classroom teaching, I have discovered that many children have different styles of learning. I have taken a few classes on Differential Instruction, and I am aware of different learning needs. Patience is paramount in working with older students who get frustrated when they do not get a concept easily The research writing class at Groves was very demanding; yet, I had twenty some students qualify to receive their CEA3 certificates and graduate from high school. it is my firm belief that all children CAN learn.
Having grown up in a family where education was highly valued. not only did I desire to attain my own college degree, but I was strongly devoted to the idea of helping educate others. My B.A. is in English with a concentration in secondary education. Initially, I chose to teach in Catholic elementary schools which included teaching and learning ... read more

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading and writing very much and would love an opportunity to spread my passion of knowledge through reading. Ie have recently been thinking of getting certified in teaching to be a substitute or tutor. I just needed a reason to complete the task. Throughout my years in school I wrote and read everything necessary and I believe I would have no problem helping others achieve their goals of learning how to read and write to the best of their ability.
I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would fee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas.
As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

A Little Bit About Me...

My undergraduate degree of Communication allowed me to use my knowledge and skills of writing, editing, and publishing as a springboard towards my true passion of teaching and working with adolescents. As a public school teacher with six years experience, both in Pennsylvania and Delaware, I have worked with various types of learners, IEPs, testing situations, and curricula. I also have six years experience in tutoring and homebound instruction.
I believe that education is continuous and requires participation by all involved parties, meaning students must be active and constant participants in their education as well as the teacher. I also understand that no two individuals learn in exactly the same manner causing my methods as a teacher to constantly change to best fit the needs of the individual. All students, children, adults, etc. can learn if given the right environment, supp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from Rowan University’s MA in Writing, I tutored in one-on-one sessions students in history, business, political science, English, creative writing, and composition, providing brainstorming assistance, discussion time, and research help, as well as composition reviews to get their rough drafts rolling. I participated in small-group tutoring that brought together students from integrated college comp. classes, both ESL and non-ESL, in an effort to improve their reading/writing, thinking, and analytical skills. My experience is coupled with a strong theoretical foundation: I hold a BA in Communications with minors in English and creative writing from Rowan.
Tutoring is as personally a rewarding experience as learning. My philosophy is to help students understand that learning and becoming better writers, readers, and thinkers—better people, in fact—is something worth st ... read more
