My comments on tutoring ACT : I am a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have taught several test-preparation courses. I have helped many students to achieve well on standardized tests. I am patient and understanding. I have a math/science background and have been teaching basic skills (reading, writing, oral communication) for 30 years.

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
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 incl ... read more

My teaching style consists of helping students work through and understand the problem/assignment. Also from my days of collegiate sports I truly understand that practice makes perfect. I love working with students and helping them realize that they are smarter than they are allowing themselves. With a little patience and structure most students can achieve much more than they give themselves credit
As a student-athlete and Philadelphia native I always understood that higher education was a privilege and not a guaranteed right; with this in mind I also greatly valued my education.

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 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!"

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe that the right combination of hard work and innate talent will help a child learn and grow. I set high expectations for my students, and I create a learning environment for each child to achieve at their own pace and in their own way. I have learned that a smile and a nudge in the right direction can create for a young learner a path towards empowerment and success. I believe that establishing and securing a firm foundation in basic skills is essential for developing higher-order knowledge. Each child will flourish with the right structures in place, and among the most important of these is the right teacher.
I have a decade of experience as a teacher, tutor, and counselor/mentor in a variety of settings: First Grade through college; urban schools to rural college campuses; in-classroom instruction to private in-home tutoring. As a life-long student myself, I have ... read more
