Monica

Middle School Math Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a Masters degree in Education and have been an Elementary and Middle School educator for over thirty years. I have worked with students in the inner city, suburbs, Appalachia, and Deep South. I love teaching and children, and have discovered my passion in tutoring students who are struggling in Reading and Math. I have taught children with learning disabilities to read, and coached students with dyscalculia in math and reading. I worked as a principal for the past eight years, so was working with students from Pre-K to 8th grade, coaching teachers, analyzing data, and tutoring individual students in math and reading. I have worked as a national park ranger in the past, so social studies and history are areas of strength. Students that I teach respond well to my teaching style and enjoy working with me. I believe that education is extremely important for children's futures and do everything that I can to help them be successful.

I am a graduate of Duke University( undergrad) where I majored in Philosophy and minored in Theater Studies.

I'm vastly experienced and very patient with all my students. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors work with students on a comprehensive range of English skills, including essay writing, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and test preparation for standardized exams like the SAT and ACT. Whether you're struggling with organizing your thoughts into a coherent argument, developing a strong thesis statement, or refining your writing voice, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target the specific areas where you need the most support.

Writer's block often stems from unclear thinking about your topic or uncertainty about where to start. Tutors help you break through this by asking targeted questions that clarify your ideas, brainstorming strategies that generate multiple angles, and outlining techniques that give your writing a clear roadmap. With personalized guidance, you'll develop strategies for moving past the blank page and building confidence in your ability to express your ideas effectively.

Grammar is the foundation—the rules that make writing clear and correct. Style is how you use language to create voice, rhythm, and impact within those grammatical boundaries. A tutor helps you master both: ensuring your writing is grammatically sound while also developing your unique voice and understanding when to bend rules strategically for stylistic effect. This balance is what transforms adequate writing into compelling writing.

Unlike classroom instruction where feedback is limited, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring gives you detailed, individualized feedback on your actual writing. Tutors work with you through the entire writing process—from thesis development and outlining through drafting and revision—addressing your specific weak points. This personalized approach has been shown to significantly accelerate improvement because instruction is tailored to your learning style and current skill level, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Yes. Many students struggle with citation formatting and understanding why proper citations matter. Tutors explain the reasoning behind different citation styles and teach you the specific rules for MLA, APA, Chicago, and other formats. They'll show you how to correctly cite sources in your essays and help you avoid plagiarism through proper attribution, skills that extend far beyond one class.

Tutors work with students at all levels—from elementary students building foundational reading and writing skills through college and graduate students preparing for standardized tests or tackling advanced literary analysis. Whether you're in middle school working on paragraph structure, high school navigating complex essays and literature, or college refining your academic writing, you can get matched with a tutor experienced at your level.

Reading comprehension and literary analysis require active engagement with text—identifying main ideas, understanding author's purpose, analyzing symbolism, and supporting interpretations with evidence. Tutors teach you strategies for close reading, help you ask better questions about what you're reading, and guide you in developing well-reasoned analyses supported by textual evidence. This structured approach transforms reading from a passive activity into an active process of deeper understanding.
