More About This Tutor...

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 joined the United Nations where I worked at headquarters New York and later as a field officer in the Middle East and South Africa. Part of my assignment during my stay in the Middle East was to teach the local staff English. As a member of the diplomatic corps to Namibia, Southwest Africa, my task was to draft the preliminary paper to be presented at the General Assembly in respect of the independence of that country. I returned to the U.S. and worked as executive assistant to Bradford Morse, the Administrator of the United Nations Development program. I moved to Australia thereafter and worked as the Assistant Cultural Affairs Office, U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia (the nation's capital). During this period I co ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for teaching people things that I love to do. I love to write, to analyze literature, and to solve problems. I bring energy and patience to the learning experience, and I am able to explain concepts in more than one way. All people, children and adults, learn in unique ways. The best thing I can do for people that I tutor will be to help them understand the ways that they learn. When people understand themselves better, they can learn more efficiently in the future without the help of a tutor! My goal is for all the people I teach to learn on their own and to one day be able to teach others.
I completed my bachelor degree in English in three and a half years at Bucknell University, and this has trained me in writing, literary analysis, and oral communication. While at Bucknell, I spent four months tutoring children at a local elementary school in grades 3-5 in mat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Lehigh University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned a BS degree in Computer Science and have worked as a software engineer and tutor. Some of my mathematical skills include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability & statics, discreet math, and differential equations. I am an excellent computer programmer, have a good understanding of physics, and I learned to write well through numerous writing intensive courses. My turoring experience comes from the volunteer work that I did at CareerLink where I tutored GED students. I also tutored friends while I was at Lehigh University.
I love teaching and working with students. My teaching style most closely aligns with the demonstrator style. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While earning my M.S. In journalism at Columbia University, I honed my writing based on the editing of professors who had worked at such publications as The New York Times and The Washington Post. Frequent editing during more than a decade as a professional journalist has familiarized me with the type of feedback most useful to developing writers.. I hold B.A. in English with a concentration in writing, and a B.A. in education, which have prepared me to help students improve their compositions. I have tutored English learners online for three years and spent more than a year teaching an SAT-prep essay writing class.
I am a patient, encouraging tutor who believes in students' inherent ability to learn. I excel at making complicated concepts accessible through questions aimed at helping learners draw their own conclusions. My thorough knowledge of sentence structure , ... read more
