Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Philadelphia, PA

...of guiding a student to where he or she is able to solve a problem or explain a concept independently. As a tutor, I endeavor not to simply "lecture" or tell the student the steps to solving a problem. Instead, I try to guide the student through the inquiry process, so that he or she is doing most of the mental heavy lifting. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, and spending time with...

I love it when a student's face lights up with the realization that...

...classes in the United States. I am also still a language student as I am teaching myself medically-based Spanish vocabulary. I understand learning a new language is difficult and requires a different style of instruction, which is why I utilize a lot of interactive activities, conversationally-based classes, and a lot of positive reinforcement. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, science fiction movies and books, yoga, and spending time with my Philadelphia friends and family.

...from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that can be taught and mastered. In addition to test prep, I also tutor a number...

...from Rutgers, JD from Boston Univ. and a Master's from UPenn. I am a published constitutional lawyer, currently inactive, in four states.

...cracking Egyptian hieroglyphics, or other similarly game-changing feats by brilliant people. We use our knowledge every day to act constructively and cohesively within our society and our environment. The quest for knowledge, then, is one of the most universally important pursuits available to us humans.
