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 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.

My goal is to meet your child's needs and help them succeed

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.
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).

Read More About Joseph M...

I am Jesuit-schooled (undergraduate degree from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia), so I am very much into asking questions and analyzing concepts in depth.
For a little more than 13 years, I have been teaching numerous topics, most specifically writing, in which I hold a Master's degree. I find it riveting to guide learners to an enhanced appreciation for the rewards of communication and have grown to feel even more enamored with subject matters through encouraging students' curiosity.

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an English major at Haverford College, I was given the opportunity and training to turn my passion for reading and writing into a highly developed skill. The English Department at Haverford prides itself on its rigorous program, and I have had thorough exposure to many of the most important literary works in English written by both British and American authors. However, most important to my job as a tutor, I have worked extensively in workshops designed to teach us both to analyze and critique the work of our peers, and also to revise both the content and presentation of our own writing. I strongly believe in the importance of grasping not only the concepts contained in a given text, but also of taking ownership over the reading experience. I hope to impart some of the skills and knowledge I have gained studying literature to students. I believe that my experience gives me both the pr ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects! 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 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 Iran ... read more

Ph.D Candidate at Penn

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 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.

More About This Tutor...

I have over 19 years experiences teaching in Drexel University's First Year Writing Program. My experience includes teaching online, face-to-face, and hybrid classes ( partially face-to-face and partially online). For the past 5 years I have also taught ESL sections of First Year Writing. In addition I ma a tutor for the University Writing Center, a position I've also held for 10 years.
My teaching philosophy is simple, help students write to the best of their ability, give them the tools to engage in critical thinking, and challenge them to write about what they are interested in. Writing is clearly a skill that crosses majors, and is a critical skill in the workplace. I pride myself in being able to get students to see that writing is not only a practical skill, but also a lifelong skill.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have began to help students in the 1960s when I was a grade school student adn when I volunteered at Get Set, where my mother worked as a full time teacher assistant. Later, I worked as a councilor as a summer-time employee of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania school system. I also volunteered, in the 1980s and the 1990s, at the Chapter Two Program of the YMCA and I volunteered as a tutor in the PASCEP program of Temple University in the 1990s.
My style is based on the student's manner of learning and it is based on repetition of various materials. First, I allow the student to tell me what she or he knows about the subject. From that I can see what he or she has maintained and what style of learning fits the student best. I also like to have students complete problems in a very close manner to the manner that I used to solve similar problems. After I finish one pro ... read more
