I worked as a peer tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Delaware for 2 years. I worked on all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming to revisions and final drafts. I have also tutored first year college students in the social sciences, in particular in history and government. As far as writing, the best approach depends on the phases. I have always acted as an instructor and guide. I help a student develop and process ideas. In the brainstorming phase, I may help a student generate ideas by suggesting different areas and working on "thought clouds." We may also do a "free write" and then discuss the ideas that were generated. During the writing process I help guide students in the development of outlines and structure. Truthfully, there is no best strategy. The techniques depend on the students needs and learning styles.

I attended university for ten years and am deeply interested in my subjects. In terms of teaching, I've not only been assisting colleagues with professional needs (such as proof-reading, brain-storming and mentoring) but as a graduate assistant I created tests, helped with lecture preperation, and gave test reviews for 300 person lecture halls. I also aided students during office hours, answered questions about the subjects as well as guided them through what they'd need to know for the test.

I teach for long-term understanding and mastery, so that my students learn skills that will be with them throughout their life. Hello, and thank you for viewing my tutor profile. I'm Jesse, and I would love to tutor your child and help improve their academics and self-esteem. My experience as a tutor is with the one-on-one tutoring of elementary and middle school children. I recently tutored a 3rd grade student, once a week, for one year, in language arts and mathematics. He saw vast improvements in his academics in a short period of time, because all he needed was a little one-on-one help. I have Pennsylvania teaching certifications in Elementary and Special Education, Middle School Mathematics, and English. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education Degree from Millersville University and currently work as a substitute teacher in many local schools in the greater Philadelphia area.

Writing Philosophy - The most important thing about learning how to be a better writer, is to learn the process better. I pay special attention to the brainstorming, drafting, and revision aspects of writing to make writers succeed! Reading Philosophy - Practice makes perfect! Better readers are those who read more often, and readers who read more often are chosing the right literature to read. Together we will take into consideration the students intrests when chosing novels to read out loud together. The more you read, the better you'll be!

I combine a variety of teaching styles to accommodate student's learning style. When it comes to GED instruction, I would say that math is my strong suit. I always try to find examples of how certain skills could be applied to real life experiences. I have experience working with students from Kindergarten through adult education. My earliest teaching experience was with primary grade children (K-2) in an inner-city school district. I taught basic skills to incarcerated men in a NJ Correctional Facility. I have experience working with first generation college students in need of remedial coursework before advancing to college level courses. I'm currently working (part-time) teaching GED writing and math, 2 evenings a week.

I have worked in the field of education as a teacher for 30 years. I have taught basic skills in foundations of Reading to middle school students. I have also taught all subject areas to elementary school children. The most memorable and most valuable experience in my career was teaching first graders how to read. It takes a trained professional to be able to lay out the framework children need to learn how to read. Reading skills on the first grade level are the most rudimentary and applicable to all grade levels there after. My teaching style is flexible. I create a lesson plan that is individualized and benficial to that of the student I am tutoring. I adapt and adjust the curriculum to what is of primary importance to my student.
