Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

I graduated from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrative Biology. During my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to tutor for the campus Learning Assistance and Resource Center as an Anatomy and Physiology and Organic Chemistry tutor for over two years. As a tutor, I supplemented professor lecture instruction with additional material support in small group sessions. I mentored and demonstrated effective active learning and efficient studying techniques supporting the study of the human body and various organic reactions. Over the course of my time tutoring at West Chester, I was able to progress through a series of College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification levels, ultimately achieving Master Tutor Level III status. These tutoring certification courses demanded demonstration of proficiency and understanding in the following areas:-Self-regulated learning, brain learning, and/or memory-How to tutor/deal with target populations-The role of learning centers in higher education-Structuring the learning experience-Training and supervising other tutors-Group management skillsUpon graduating, I worked as a Neurodiagnostic Technologist at Geisinger Medical Center. In this role, I held primary responsibility for observation of patients admitted to the epilepsy monitoring unit through continuous EEG recording and audio/video monitoring. Specifically, I preserved the integrity of both scalp and intracranial EEG electrodes by conducting bi-hourly impedance inspections and performing appropriate electrode fixing or disconnects. I am also an incoming osteopathic medical student and will be attending the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine beginning in the fall of 2020.Personally, I find that an understanding of science, particularly of the biological disciplines, offers a beautiful lens through which we can all view the world. This can help us appreciate the miracles of life around us each and every day. I derive great personal satisfaction in assisting others with their own personal scientific understanding of the world. It is my pleasure to facilitate this worldly understanding in the individuals that I tutor, because an enhanced understanding of the biological sciences will improve critical thinking and abstract application to a multitude of modern day problems to help make the earth a better place for us all. To this extent, I strive to help each client achieve their unique and individual goals by carefully listening to how they learn, what they need most from a tutor, and what type of actionable plan should be designed to offer improvement of content comprehension, study technique, abstract application, and/or internal motivation. I will do everything I can to improve your progress towards your goals related to the various scientific domains within the natural life sciences, particularly related to the specific subjects I tutor:-Genetics-Biochemistry-Anatomy and Physiology-General BiologyI look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals with these courses and your dreams with science.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Scranton, I have over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience across various subjects, including Elementary and Middle School English and Math, as well as Adult Literacy. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential. I aim to connect with each learner by tailoring my approach to their individual needs and fostering a love for learning.

I LOVE working with students! I recently finished my PhD at Cornell University in Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology. I have spent the past 10+ years working with many different students in lots of different subjects including general and organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, MCAT test prept, SAT Chem Subject Test, and even general study and organizational skills! I have worked with high school students, undergraduates, pre-med students preparing for the MCAT, and adults who have gone back to school. I love science and I enjoy sharing that love of science with students. It really makes me happy watching students get excited about doing well in these subjects and helping them succeed towards their future goals.

Hi! I'm Joyce, an MBA graduate from Columbia Business School with a background in business, strategy, and entrepreneurship. I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals through personalized instruction. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps while adapting to each student's learning style. Whether you're looking to strengthen foundational skills, prepare for exams, or tackle challenging coursework, I strive to create a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and long-term success.

I believe every student has the ability to be a strong writer and reader. My job as tutor is to equip my students with tools they can use to achieve academic and professional success. I hold a B.A. in English: Writing from West Chester University and am currently pursuing an MFA in Poetry at Spalding University. I spent the last two years tutoring college students at West Chester University's disability department in writing, reading, and English and it was some of the most rewarding work of my life. My favorite subjects to tutor are academic writing, creative writing, and understanding literature, but I also work with students on general academic skills like time management and decision paralysis.

As a tutor, I strongly believe that education and practice are essential components in becoming more successful. I have a vast variety of educational degrees and personal experiences, that I would like to share with you, so you feel confident that I am a good match to tutor your student.I graduated from Bensalem High School in 2001, and then continued directly to West Chester University. While at college I held two part-time jobs on campus, one was as a Secretary at the Counseling Center, and the other was a tutor for college level Math classes. In May 2005, I graduated from West Chester University with a BSED in Elementary Education. I then continued to Drexel University to obtain my Teaching English as a Second Language Certificate. Finally, I finished getting my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership with Principal Certificate from Cabrini College in 2009.Previously I have tutored for college students, and high school college prep students. This focused on preparing for standardized tests such as SAT's and ACT's, working on college essays and applications, as well as maintaining good grades in regular subject areas. Also, I was a contracted teacher for in 5th grade, 6th grade, and in High School & Elementary School ESL, as well as having student teaching experience in 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and various substitute teaching assignments.Personally, I enjoy tutoring Mathematics and Writing the most. Due to my personality of being serious and logical, having one concrete answer helps motivate me to work a problem through to completion. Also, I can be a bit silly and expressive and the ability to have many potential correct great answers allows more freedom to use interesting words to convey a meaning.Outside of teaching and tutoring, I have held another full time job for the past three years, as well as becoming a small business owner. I do not have a plethora of free time, however when I do have a clear agenda, my hobbies include cuddling my cats, watching movies, going to concerts, traveling, taking photographs and sleeping. I take my work very seriously and dedicate my time to achieving goals, but I also have a goofy fun side, that I hope will make me a perfect fit as a tutor for your student!

I am currently teach high school French and Spanish and have taught all levels from middle school to AP at the high school level.I have studied in both France and Spain and love sharing my knowledge of both languages with my students.I am looking for online tutoring mostly, so it does not matter how far you are located from me.

I am a Special Education Teacher and have my teaching certification in general education for grades Pre-K through 4th grade. I have experience with working with age groups from toddlers to 8th grade. Teaching has always been my passion and I love seeing the growth and progress my students make each day. My goal is to always be available to my students and allow them to feel confident in their learning.

I believe that, as a teacher, the greatest gift I can pass on to my students is to make them believe in themselves. Although my students carry much more emotional and financial hardship than children in traditional schools, it is rare that they lack the innate ability to succeed. They simply have had a rough life and they have forgotten that they have worth and that they matter. I try to instill that into them everyday. I just happen to be a math teacher, a discipline that I have come to love. I try to show that enthusiasm so that they too can find their path, whatever that may be. My interests are fitness (our bodies are the only ones we will ever get so let's take good care of them) and animal husbandry (we share the earth, we don't own it).

You may call me a degree collector or an enthusiast of learning. With two Masters' degrees, two undergraduate degrees, and two minors, I studied everything from Russian, Spanish, and Philosophy to Physics and Space Science.My drive to uncover the unknown and zeal for problem-solving proved to be useful in the airspace, oil and gas, and real estate industries where I've worked for more than 13 years.Nothing in my career, however, has been as gratifying as helping students connect the dots. In my extensive work as a math and physics tutor for high school and university students, I have always followed three simple steps:1. identify what the student does not know2. figure out what they know3. help them close the knowledge/understanding gap.In explanations of concepts, I strive to bring the abstract to reality for my students. When we are solving problems, I rarely give my students straight answers. I guide them so they can arrive at the answers by themselves or I point them to where they may find clues.I love seeing "the wheels starting to turn." This is how my students gain confidence in their abilities.My ultimate goal is to model for my students studying skills so that they can eventually handle their learning by themselves. Yes! My goal is for the students NOT to need me. Because independent learning is king and problem-solving skills are gold in real life!My students always master much more than the subject they needed help with.

I enjoyed working as a computer science teacher and English teacher for years before I decided to be a math teacher a few years ago. To me, teaching is an ideal career for me and it provides me the opportunity to work with young people and help them learn and help them get ready for college life. I had some great experiences with classes of students and individual students as well. It was my moment when my students told me that they felt more confident in math and they did better than before in class. Math is fun and you will enjoy learning it as long as you work hard and never give up!

I am an elementary school Reading and Math specialist. I received my MA in reading along with my Reading Specialist certification in 2012. I have been a teacher for 11 years and am passionate about my job. I believe that all students can be successful, but some students just need a little extra support to get there. I work with struggling students in all academic areas, and my patience, skill set, and dedication to my students as well as my ability to individualize all lessons makes me an exceptional teacher. These qualities make me an excellent tutor.I strongly believe that every child has the ability to learn and grow. However, each child is different and these differences in learning styles or prerequisite knowledge have to be taken into consideration. It is up to the teacher to find out what skills gaps each child may have and create an individualized plan to implement in order for the child to be successful. It is also equally important to highlight the student's strengths and use these strengths as a way to connect with the child.

I am extremely excited to begin tutoring in my favorite content area, math. I will use the strategies and accommodations that I use in my own classroom to meet my tutors needs!

Through my schooling and various field experiences I have learned many skills that have helped me to improve my teaching and tutoring skills.

Additionally, last year I tutored a first grader in reading and phonics.I believe that it is important to really get to know my student so that I can better teach them. I try to learn their interest and hobbies so that I can use them during a lesson. I like to try to make a personal connection with each of my students and really tailor what they are learning to them so that they are able to relate to the material. I believe that students learn best by doing and try to incorporate as much hands on learning as I possibly can.I currently work at a preschool as a one year old teacher and I really enjoy the time that I spend there. When I am not working I enjoy exercising, walking my dog, reading, and cooking new recipes that I find on pinterest. I also love to play and watch sports, such as soccer, baseball, and volleyball.
