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.

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.

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.

Writing is my passion. I love telling stories, sharing my views and making people think about issues they normally wouldn't. My love for writing is what made me major in Communication-Journalism. I don't want to say I am an "expert" in writing because there's always MORE to achieve in writing, always more to discover about your personal writing style. 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 wri

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 p

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.
