More About This Tutor...

I am a big believer in using a positive approach to learning. Every student should be encouraged to ask questions. Life is a learning process that never stops. Those that have an education should share their knowledge so the student and the instructor are able to grow together with the ultimate goal being a love of learning.
I taught a self-contained sixth grade class and taught library skills to high school students in addition to running the circulation department of the library. I have also been a substitute teacher and classroom aid. Raising three children gave me the opportunity to assist with homework and school projects and instill my love of reading and learning in my own childres as well as their friends.

Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like myself. Having earned a Bachelor Degree in Social Science with a primary field in Sociology and two secondary fields in Psychology and Ethnic Studies with University Honors, have enabled me to gain a better understanding of the society we live in today. In addition, I have been an AVID tutor in high school, which is a program whose main goal is to prepare students for college. I have tutored high school students in Social Studies, Math, Chemistry, English and Spanish.

As a recent graduate from University of California- Santa Barbara, I am eager to put my acquired skills and knowledge to use.

Educating students and helping them succeed has been a passion of mine for ten years now, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations. I began tutoring in high school as a volunteer with the California Scholarship Federation, and I continued through college and beyond with various companies in California.

Twelve years of teaching English in the Pennsylvania public school system has left me with a wealth of experience spanning all grade and ability levels. I have developed and implemented original curriculum for courses, ranging from electives to Honors English, based on my observations of students' skills and interests. I created and taught an original middle school Gifted program for one year, but returned to the high school to resume teaching English, because I missed working with the entire student population. I have experience teaching every genre of literature and writing, and have used creative approaches to make grammar applicable to students' writing.
Passionate and enthusiastic, I bring a lot of energy to teaching, and maximize lesson time to achieve the best possible student comprehension. Careful attention to the subject matter, individual learning styles, as well as ... read more

While I pride myself on being approachable, patient and easy going, I tend to approach teaching in a methodical manner. I believe that student's time and attention is very valuable, and warrants preparation and thoroughness. My initial approach is always to first assess a student's needs, goals, learning style, and accomplishments. Next, I pick a strategy to approach the needs of the student. For example, I might select a straight-forward text or document from which I could teach loosely, such as the book "With Good Reason". (It is an excellent text on argumentative methods.) Editing and reworking methods eventually becomes paramount. I am available to help students electronically. This is a style currently 'in vogue' at my university, espoused by my professors. Students can really benefit from the focused attention it can provide.
I am a natural teacher, and my exper ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I started teaching tennis to juniors at the age of 16. I enjoyed that very much. For close to 10 years I taught at a country club in Connecticut. During my time there I did not focus on winning, but our record went from 0-7 to 7-0. I attribute this to the power of positive teaching. After I completed Loyola University MD, I went into B2B Corporate sales, where I was successful, but my passion remained with teaching. Recently I was a PE Coach at a school, and I started an after school program for tennis and golf for the children.
My teaching style is modeled after the Princeton Method, which is the way that I was taught to teach tennis. The Princeton method focuses on the positive. So instead of saying "don't skip the hesitation for a period mark", I would say "remember to hesitate in between sentences".
