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.

Daniel P. - Philadelphia, PA 19104 (8.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for several years. I have also tutored math and reading for middle and high school entrance exams in the past, including the HSPT and SSAT. I have additional instructional experience at the middle school level, having taught summer school in the past. I specialize in teaching critical reading techniques. I use the Socratic Method. That is, I ask students to explain the material back to me. This enables me to determine their level of understanding. For reading specifically, I teach students how to read critically for the main points in a book or passage while skimming over extraneous details. I also encourage them to put themselves into an author's shoes by thinking about his purpose and point of view.

I have a degree in English from Yale. I have written professionally for the Iowa City Icon and Textbrokers. I spent several years in Omaha teaching creative writing at the High School and College level, giving classes at Creighton University, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Metro Tech. The program was called Writing Floes. The basic idea is that our ideas are frozen in the oceans of our unconscious minds. Music melts the ice. The goal is to get both hemispheres of the brain in the room at the same time. Socratic: I ask lots of questions.

vanessa h. - Springfield, PA 19064 (9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I am a flexible tutor and am able to switch up my teaching styles based on the strengths, preferences, interests and needs (what I like to call their SPINs). I try to meet each individual student's needs using a variety of teaching strategies and techniques based on their learning style(s). I have been tutoring individually for over 8 years for multiple families and children. I have been in child care as a nanny for the past 3 years. Before becoming a nanny I worked as a preschool teacher for about 2 years. My knowledge gained through my experiences in teaching and child care have given me useful tools to help meet the needs of my students and help them to be successful in school and in life.

Marzieh A. - Philadelphia, PA 19104 (9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $22.50/hr.
Shiraz, Iran is just famous for its prominent poets ,like Hafez or Saadi. carrying this so honorable heritage for a Shirazian one would be sort of a guarantee of the ability to write and more to teach it to others. I do adore sharing thoughts with one another in black and white. LET S GIVE IT A CHANCE TO BE EACH OTHER`S WRITING PARTNER- draft, write and revise. Having a hindsight to my childhood, I could vividly remember the time I asked my mother to translate a sentence from Persian into English and learn me how to say to me very dear uncle to become his eye apple.
I started learning English language from the time I was as tall as a little girl hardly could carry her bag pack to school, but eager enough to put two more other English books to go to Navid English Language Institute. This story was going on by the time I got my English Diploma chest to chest with my Experiential Science

I have a B.A. in Communication-Journalism, with a professional emphasis in Print Media. I also minored in English. I have an Associates degree in Communication with a professional emphasis in Journalism. I have been published as a weekly Columnist & served as Editor for a student literary magazine. Every student is different, regardless of gender or age. Their learning style is different, therefore my teaching style has to be designed specifically for their learning level. Some students are audio learners, and some like myself are visual. But I try to teach in a way where they are really understanding the information for the long haul, not just temporarily for the specific assignment. I have been writing since I was 10 years old. I have written for school papers, organized and contributed to yearbooks, performed and won oratorical writing contest. While in college I was nominated by my
