Middle School English Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elkins Park, PA

My philosophy of teaching is best articulated by the famous quote by Michelanglo --" I am still learning." I try to relate to my students that, although I may have a little more knowledge and experience, we are all, hopefully, continuously seeking knowledge about ourselves and the world. My role as a teacher is more one of a fellow journeyman than an 'expert.' I believe that if you are passionate about what you teach and enthusiastic about the teaching process, students respond. I love the written word in all its manifestations --its beauty, its flexibility and its power to connect and communicate. I teach that writing is not an art reserved for the few but an intrinsic part of being human. We are story-tellers by nature, and if given the opportunity, safety, guidance and skills, anyone can write well. Regarding my approach to teaching composition, I employ a thematic-based st

I am very proud of my positive approach style of tutoring and believe that praise for every effort made is essential. My students receive incentives as they progress through their learning objectives. I promise to use several techniques to help you learn; such as games, art, cooking, scavenger hunts, play and much more. We will not be sitting at the table every session just filling in worksheets. Learning will be a fun process and I will be learning along with you as I learn more about you. Hello - I am Debbie. I love to teach reading, vocabulary words, spelling, writing and study skills.

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.

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 Diploma from High School in 2002. Wasting no time, having no doubt but keenness to pursue digging more English knowledge in university, I selected English Translation for majoring in Azad University, Tehran, Iran from 2002 up to 2006. Meanwhile I translated a lot in particular I was a person loving to translate some general topic articles to be published in Ira

I began teaching at eighteen. I’d just graduated high school and wasn’t ready for college, so I worked as a personal trainer at a gym within jogging distance of my house. I worked with clients one-on-one helping structure their workouts to their needs, and while I may be stretching it to equate teaching with providing pointers on proper form or advising on ways to augment a stagnant routine, but I think that gap year spent in the gym was when my proclivity for teaching first became incipient. Since then I’ve taught countless subjects. I’ve worked with second graders and sophomores in college. The classroom may have changed since I was eighteen but that aim to educate another remains. I am currently an MFA in Creative Writing candidate at Rosemont College. The program has two primary focuses for its graduate students. One is for students to enhance their craft and make the mos
