As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics.
I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor.

I have worked with students at all levels from pre-k to doctoral students and a present I tutor Master's degree students on how to write their dissertations. It is my contention that students are capable of far more than has been expected of them. The result of my perspective is that I now have students who are college professors themselves, teachers and IT professionals. Few if any of my students leave me without have a more global perspective of the world and a desire to make it a better place to live.
I began my college career at Columbia University, N.Y. where I matriculated in the top 5% of entrants. I moved to Africa where I lived and returned 10 years later.

I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener.
I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my teaching career, I have seen many students who learn in a variety of different ways. Because I realize that no one student learns in the same way, I try to use a variety of different methods in my teaching. One day may be simple lecture, while another day might be a hands on project. I also believe that kids learn visually, and I try to utilize technology whenever possible in the classroom. I very much enjoy teaching, and I have established a positive rapport with my students. I believe that students need to understand that their teachers care about their success, yet still offer them constructive criticism.

I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual-major in English Writing and History. These two branches of academia shaped and built my ability to write concise, intellectual, pieces of work. I possess an excellent vocabulary and grammatical skill set, allowing me to properly instruct any individual in writing technical papers, academic papers, poetry, or prose. While I attended Pittsburgh I began to proofread and edit papers for my friends and classmates. My peers felt I was talented enough to begin selling my services, and to this day I instruct others in how to properly write persuasive essays, resumes, cover letters, and the like.
I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who ... read more

I enjoy teaching children of all grades, because I put myself in their shoes. I remembered when I was in High School I always seeking help in my weak subjects, and I still do seek help because I am still learning. It is very important to help these students so they can be encouraged, and see themselves not as a failure but as a winner who seeks help and want to reach for the highest stars. I see it as a blessing to be able to help those students in their weak subject, that way I could be part of their success, the same way someone is part of mine.

I have a real passion for teaching, and tutoring allows me to have a strong connection with children and a better understanding of their learning preferences so that I may help them reach their goals. I am a life long learner and am enthusiastic about my subject matter. My students learn to share my enthusiasm for the material, and learn more productively as a result. I believe that in being patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable, students respond well to me and my teaching style. I bring an interdisciplinary approach to the material and am a proponent of the “Writing as Thinking” methodology as a way to teach effective writing. Great teachers can make a positive difference in a child's life and that is my ultimate goal as a tutor.
