I have been working with the education field for 13 years. I have primarily worked in special education which has given the unique experience o teaching or co-teaching all subject areas. I am currently the special education coordinator a charter school in Philadelphia. Prior to working in Philadelphia, I taught social studies, math, English and GED preparation for adults. I can simplify the class instruction and teach any subject area. Other experience include working as a dean of students, and various other leadership roles.
I believe in teaching to the student and making the subject matter relevant and easy to comprehend. I encourage dialogue an debate in order to fully engage all of my students.

Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tutor in English and Algebra

Hello! My name is Christina, and my chief tutoring interest is in English and related areas such as writing, reading comprehension, grammar and literature. As an English major in college, I found myself frequently editing friends' papers at their bequests. I found the process very satisfying, and I enjoyed being able to assist them in learning new concepts and helping them develop their own writing skills. I also developed a deep interest in literacy during my collegiate studies, and I like the idea of helping students improve their skills through tutoring. In addition to my specialty area in English, I am also very competent at pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. I am experienced with test preparation, having taken numerous AP exams, IB exams, the ACT and both the regular SAT and several SAT subject tests. I have excellent study skills and time management skills, which I th ... read more

Seasoned Teacher at Your Service!

I believe that all children deserve a positive, nurturing environment that is conducive to learning. Children need to have a place where they feel special, safe and accepted. The classroom should be this place, but many times falls short. I am confident you will find that my unwavering commitment to education, excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, solid instructional methods, and hands-on experience will be a positive asset to your child. I posses 15 years of experience in education and have taught grades Pre-K through 5. I also have two years as a special education teacher.
As a well-rounded educator, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students including those challenged by autism, learning disabilities, noncompliant behavior, and speech impairments, as well as children who functioned on and above grade level. Consequently, I have gained in-depth kn ... read more

Well-Rounded and Adaptable Tutor of Many Topics

I tutored peers in high school often as well as my younger cousins, and occasionally kids at a daycare I worked at for a few years. I was able to get into college for free, as my mother is employed by the college that I was enrolled at, and so I stuck around for several years as a full time student simply for the joy of learning. I took courses in every major area, heavily focused on theater, english and science.

Individualized learning/teaching for optimal comprehension

I take a hands on material approach to learning/teaching. I feel that young students learn best when they can physically learn, such as through blocks/puzzles/interactive learning devices and other similar approaches. I try to let the student use their hands as much as I can to aid in their learning process. For older students such as my high school students or their college counterparts I use more direct audial teaching and visual teaching styles. Every person learns differently, so I cater my teaching style to each individual learner.
I started tutoring in my teens helping young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop English and Math skills as well as speech therapy and public speaking. I tutored my fellow students while attending Carroll Community College in English 101 and 102 as well as Creative Writing. I then moved on to being a one on one with high school students ... read more

I have always enjoyed tutoring students. I would like to be able to give something back to the community and those in need of my services. I am very patient and would enjoy the challenges that tutoring brings. I would use clarity, knowledge, enthusiasm, authority, and have a powerful presentation to captivate the student and thereby facilitate learning. I would be proactive with each individual student in my classroom. As a teacher I'd promote individual thought and reasoning abilities. Students could then become more self-sufficient and independent as a result. By promoting challenging ideas to help the students develop and create their own opinions and ideas. I'd create a positive classroom environment to facilitate the student’s effective learning. I'd enjoy helping other adults or students achieve their educational goals.
Although I had a family and worked full time I d ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In 2004 I graduated from Smith College with a double major in American Studies and Art History. While Smith is founded in the liberal arts, I chose to take courses across all disciplines in order to receive Latin Honors. Additionally I have a MA in Media Studies from the New School University. I have a background in tutoring across disciplines and have many strengths and particularly in writing and editing due to my work experience in publishing this past year. Now that I am going back to school to study law in the fall I want to start tutoring part-time again.
I have years of experience working with children in both an academic and an athletic setting. In addition to educational tutoring I have worked as a figuring skating coach/instructor, which helped me develop the tools necessary to work one on one and with groups. I have a fresh and innovative approach to learning that helps ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer working one on one or in small groupes. I usually ask questions instead of giving answers. I work on a good structure and always emphasis cumulative studying. I like to go over proofs. I like using the board if availble.
I've worked as a math and science tutor at a local college math lab for about 30 hours per week for the past year. I have good experience with ada and dyslexic students. my favorite subject to tutor is any level of calculus.

More About This Tutor...

I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher and, as my references will testify, have been honored by very fine assessments by my students and teaching colleagues. I have a reputation as a highly skilled teacher and a very patient, compassionate person. I enjoy working with adults or children of every age, background, and skill level. I have had great success working with students who are just learning English or have poor reading/writing skills, students of average ability, and students in honors or advanced courses. After 15 years' working as an editor and Web editor for a major educational publisher, I have reason to believe that God may be leading me to return to a teaching career.
I am interested in teaching in any capacity for which I am qualified, whether it be as a classroom teacher, a substitute teacher, or a tutor of reading, writing, language arts, and history. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being positive facilitates healthy relationships and ensures that students are comfortable in the classroom. A solid and healthy rapport with the student breeds a sense of belonging and allows the students to open up to the teacher. A positive atmosphere also makes students want to succeed and meet expectations set forth for the class.
After growing up with both parents in the teaching profession I received my undergraduate degree in business from the University of Delaware. After working in the field of business, I realized the business world was not for me. I felt my calling was in education, just like my parents. That is when I decided to attend Drexel University to pursue my masters in education.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is a direct, hands-on approach where I believe in using everyday scenarios to make a subject enjoyable to the student. I also believe in allowing the student to interrupt the teaching process at the moment they have a question as opposed to having the student wait until the end of the lesson and have the question leave their thought process. As the father of five children, I am teaching on a constant basis and I believe that the connection between the teacher and the student must be solid and trustworthy in order for the information to be successfully retained. I firmly believe that anyone can learn provided that the professional teaching them has the ability to read and decipher the emotions expressed by the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

As a supervisor and trainer in the military, it was my responsibility to train the new individuals that came into the job. There was a lot of studying material that I constantly had to sit down and go over with them. We made flashcards, took notes, made up quizzes, did verbal question and answers, etc. I actually used to tutor math in High School when I was in an advanced Calculus class and have helped many friends with their college math. As a grad student, I am writing lots of essays which has really helped me with my English skills. I have a lot of academic experience that I would love to utilize while tutoring.
I have taught a few weapons classes and use of force classes as a security forces member in the Air Force. However, I have never taught classes on a regular basis.
