"I recently completed my Master's degree in Secondary English Education, graduating with Magna Cum Laude honors, and I am a PA certified teacher (English, Grades 7-12). I am currently enrolled in the Reading Specialist Certification program at La Salle University. I do not believe that there is such a thing as an "average" student. I believe that each student is unique; no two students learn in exactly the same way. When the goal is common, deep understanding of the same material by all students in a classroom, it is imperative that the individual needs and abilities of each student are addressed to the best of the teacher's ...

"I am a high school interventionist in Northern Delaware and I absolutely love what I do! This is my third year in the profession and I'm certified to teach in PA, DE, and VA. I think learning should be fun, yet educational, so I like to do a lot of hands-on activities to spark student's interests. I hold high expectations for my students, but am personable and easy-going in my presentation of lesson material. My favorite subject to teach is Math, but I love the process of writing, too."

"I am a writer, educator and social worker who has been actively tutoring for the past 4 years. I began tutoring at Penn State's writing center, where I worked with undergraduate and graduate students from all fields of study to address their concerns about their personal essays and research papers to cover letters and thesis papers. Additionally, during my years at Penn State, I was fortunate enough to become an Editor of Penn State's Undergraduate Literary Magazine, Kalliope. At UPenn, I worked in a non-profit organization called Achieve-Ability, where I tutored adults and children on college essays and personal statements." ...

"I have always had a great passion for the academic environment. In addition to pursuing my phD, I have taught two collegiate level psychology courses and aided many students in their academic pursuits -- including the following subjects: statistics, biology, psychology, reading and writing. I firmly believe in the value of a comprehensive academic training. In many cases, classroom learning cannot replace one-on-one learning in terms of efficiency and efficacy. For this reason, tutoring is often an invaluable component of the schooling process." ...
