Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tutor in English and Algebra

Hello! My name is Christina, and my chief tutoring interest is in English and related areas such as writing, reading comprehension, grammar and literature. As an English major in college, I found myself frequently editing friends' papers at their bequests. I found the process very satisfying, and I enjoyed being able to assist them in learning new concepts and helping them develop their own writing skills. I also developed a deep interest in literacy during my collegiate studies, and I like the idea of helping students improve their skills through tutoring. In addition to my specialty area in English, I am also very competent at pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. I am experienced with test preparation, having taken numerous AP exams, IB exams, the ACT and both the regular SAT and several SAT subject tests. I have excellent study skills and time management skills, which I th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 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.

Never,never, never, never ever give up.

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 district and substituted everyday in the high schools and middle schools. During some of the summers, I taught secondary English for the district. In 2009, I left the school distri ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very personable and easy to get along with. My teaching style is relational. I think that students learn best when they are allowed to explore and find the tools that really work for them, I am happy to help students learn in this way and am very patient. I have high standards and believe in hard work and the pursuit of excellence.
I personally designed my undergraduate degree. I believe this shows the value I place on personal initiative in education.

In my spare time I write fiction and creative non-fiction for a writer's group.

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on their writing. Through this individualized tutoring style, I developed an appreciation for working one-on-one with students and peers, and began to develop a highly personal, creative style of tutoring. Over the course of my teaching experience, I have found that students learn best when they are comfortable yet appropriately challenged. It is my goal to distinguish the learning style of each individual student that I work with and from there, develop a plan to meet their goals.
