As an English major at Haverford College, I was given the opportunity and training to turn my passion for reading and writing into a highly developed skill. The English Department at Haverford prides itself on its rigorous program, and I have had thorough exposure to many of the most important literary works in English written by both British and American authors. However, most important to my job as a tutor, I have worked extensively in workshops designed to teach us both to analyze and critique the work of our peers, and also to revise both the content and presentation of our own writing. I strongly believe in the importance of grasping not only the concepts contained in a given text, but also of taking ownership over the reading experience. I hope to impart some of the skills and knowledge I have gained studying literature to students. I believe that my experience gives me both the p

I have been writing since I was 10 years old. I have written for school papers, organized and contributed to yearbooks, performed and won oratorical writing contest.

I use the Socratic Method. That is, I ask students to explain the material back to me. This enables me to determine their level of understanding. For reading specifically, I teach students how to read critically for the main points in a book or passage while skimming over extraneous details. I also encourage them to put themselves into an author's shoes by thinking about his purpose and point of view. I have worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for several years. I have also tutored math and reading for middle and high school entrance exams in the past, including the HSPT and SSAT. I have additional instructional experience at the middle school level, having taught summer school in the past. I specialize in teaching critical reading techniques.

I am Jesuit-schooled (undergraduate degree from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia), so I am very much into asking questions and analyzing concepts in depth. For a little more than 13 years, I have been teaching numerous topics, most specifically writing, in which I hold a Master's degree. I find it riveting to guide learners to an enhanced appreciation for the rewards of communication and have grown to feel even more enamored with subject matters through encouraging students' curiosity.

My teaching philosophy is simple, help students write to the best of their ability, give them the tools to engage in critical thinking, and challenge them to write about what they are interested in. Writing is clearly a skill that crosses majors, and is a critical skill in the workplace. I pride myself in being able to get students to see that writing is not only a practical skill, but also a lifelong skill. I have over 19 years experiences teaching in Drexel University's First Year Writing Program. My experience includes teaching online, face-to-face, and hybrid classes ( partially face-to-face and partially online). For the past 5 years I have also taught ESL sections of First Year Writing. In addition I ma a tutor for the University Writing Center, a position I've also held for 10 years.

My style is based on the student's manner of learning and it is based on repetition of various materials. First, I allow the student to tell me what she or he knows about the subject. From that I can see what he or she has maintained and what style of learning fits the student best. I also like to have students complete problems in a very close manner to the manner that I used to solve similar problems. After I finish one problem, I like her or him to repeat solving the problem and explain why various steps have been taken to solve the problem. This works well for mathematics and it also can works well for writing and for understanding what was read. I have began to help students in the 1960s when I was a grade school student adn when I volunteered at Get Set, where my mother worked as a full time teacher assistant. Later, I worked as a councilor as a summer-time employe
