A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style with students of all ages is to facilitate their learning as opposed to simply feeding them what I feel is the best response. Students learning is maximized when they can take ownership of and pride in their work. I am very patient. Recognizing that all students learn differently, I seek to ascertain their learning styles and then adjust my tutoring style to that learning style.
I taught and tutored ESL two years before entering law school. I hae taught college classes as an adjunct and later FT professor at Penn College for 25 years. I currently serve as Career Outreach Coordinator for HACC-Lebanon Campus. I have tutored many students, particularly in areas such as writing essays. I also served as a reader for the SAT Writing section, so I am familiar with what they are seeking. I am very proficient in grammar and structure.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I have taught composition skills just about every year since I have graduated from college.

I have a student-centered teaching style. That means I see at what level the student is and meet him/her at that level. Then we together move up to where he/she needs to be.
I have taught for many years in all levels of secondary school, alternative schools, and tutoring centers.I eat, sleep, and drink tutoring as I tutor every day during the school year and do lots of research to help my kids in whatever academic subject is causing them difficulty. I began my teaching career for the first five years as a high school English teacher and taught regular college prep English courses.The next five years I taught English at the middle school level.Next, I got married and resigned from teaching when our first child was born. For the next twenty!!years, I raised four children and tutored kids sporadically. After all the kids had entered school, I began substituting in our school dis ... read more

I have a passion for working individually with students to find their personal learning styles so that they can succeed and excel academically. I encourage students to think through a problem and find a solution that works for their individual abilities and plays to their strengths. I believe learning should be fun and not a forced activity.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated college with top honors. I worked as a Juvenile/Shelter Care Counselor at Berks County Youth Center where I worked with children of all ages and races. I am semi bi-lingual in Spanish. I took three years of Spanish courses in college. I supervised children in school and daily activities, but was also responsible for helping them complete all homework assignments, organize educational activities , help teach all school subjects, as well as tutor children in need of extra help in school. I have worked with children of all educational levels, especially since most of the children came from poverty stricken areas and were behind in their schooling,many with learning disabilities.
I enjoy working with children of all ages and skill levels. I feel that each child requires their own learning style and pace. I am a very patient and understanding person, as well as persistent. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box.
I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings.

A Little Bit About Me...

While passion is essential to create a positive learning-centered environment, I believe a successful instructor must also encourage an open, meaningful dialogue with students, ensure class cooperation and active learning, provide timely instruction and feedback and respect that each student will have a different way of learning. I have high expectations of my students and encourage them to have high expectations of me as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy teaching. It is life-long passion. I have spent my eleven teaching years working with 9-12 grade students, and I have loved every moment. I am patient and easy going. I do not mind trying to think of many different ways to explain a topic. In my classroom, I have created an environment where all my students feel safe and are not afraid to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process. I believe all children can be successful when they are given access to the tools they posess within themselves.
My undergradute years at Kutztown University have truly prepared me to be an educator. I earned a BS in education with a specialization in English. This degree has given me a great "bag of educational tricks." In other words, I am well versed in different teaching strategies for all learning styles. I have taught all genres of literature, as well as, wr ... read more

Teaching comes naturally to me and I adore children. I am fascinated by the way they learn and believe each child has their own path on which they must tread to find success. It's my job to help your child find his/her own path, feel successful, and build on those feelings of confidence to ensure success in the future. I have a nurturing style mixed with humor, however, I do hold students accountable and maintain high standards. I find it extremely effortless to relate to children of all ages. There is not too much that's more rewarding than helping a child find success in academics, for it is the foundation of a lifetime of confidence.

After finishing student teaching, getting certified to teach in Pennsylvania, and graduating from Moravian College, I joined Teach for America and committed two years to closing the achievement gap. I have taught 10th and 11th grade English for two years in Forrest City, AR. I have run after-school ACT prep sessions with my students, and I have worked one on one with them both before and after school hours. All of my lesson plans are objective-based and built with the intent of being both purposeful and rigorous. Student achievement is important to me, and having goals and ways to measure achievement is a necessity. I give 100% and have high expectations, but I also like to make learning as fun and interesting as possible.
I am a firm believer in differentiation. I am a very structured instructor, but I will adjust at a moment's notice if a lesson needs to be changed to be more eff ... read more
