Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Philadelphia, PA

...history has persisted within me since I was a child, and it has been my dream to have the opportunity to share my passion with others, and to get them engaged in the ongoing preservation of our collective past. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Public History, and I received a Master's Degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Florida in 2018. As a tutor, I specialize...

...and WCU. I enjoy working one on one with students to improve their composition and grammar skills. There is nothing more professionally satisfying than watching students improve their skills over time. Moreover, regardless of an individual's present writing competencies, I am convinced that with effort any student can learn to write well. My years of instructional experience have convinced me of this time and again. Indeed, writing is not rocket science, but rather a skill...

I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring English, History and essay writing with elementary, middle and high school students. I strongly believe learning is a collaborative, student directed process and I love helping students acquire long-term learning skills. My favorite part of teaching is watching students gain confidence and pride in...

...in to be sure you understand me and I understand you. When I'm not writing, reading, or working (I'm a supervisor at my college's dining hall as well as a tutor), I am probably singing opera, in choir, or in my a cappella group. I am a singer and I plan to minor in music. I also love hockey, dance, and interior design. I love to travel and I've been to China, Argentina, and Canada...

I am a research assistant at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and in my free...

...I aim to help students grow as both students and learners in the broader sense. My aim is to help the student progress as much as possible through being simultaneously supportive and rigorous. In my past experience, I have found that the best mode of education is dependent upon the particular student, and thus strive to accommodate a wide variety of personalities and learning styles. Through a comprehensive approach, I attempt to instill in students...

...perhaps several times. What is more, they know they have failed and learning has become a chore rather than a pleasure. The student, who appears to understand a concept today, may be hopelessly confused tomorrow and ready to give up. Tutoring can be fun and can help school be an interesting and productive place! It is my job to present the curriculum differently, in a way the student can relate to and understand. I am...

...writing, proofreading, study skills, and general homework assistance. I also have many years of experience in tutoring SAT Math & Verbal, as well as mathematics elementary through college statistics.

...and standardized curricula for ISEE preparation (6th grade), Mathematics (5th and 6th grades), English (5th and 6th grades), Physics (5th and 6th grades), comic design (5th and 6th grades), and Robotics (grades 5 through 8).

In 2009, I worked for Huntington Learning Center where I tutored students in preparation for the SAT in Math, Reading, and Writing. I also...

...be the correct answer quickly with little room for exploration or a deeper level of critical thinking. Students are often encouraged to get from point A to point B in a quick and efficient manner without stopping to discover along the way. Although students achieve their goal of completing an assignment in a timely manner, the writing that results lacks originality of thought that can only be discovered through exploration. As an adjunct, I stress...

...from an early age. Having earned a masters degree, I have discovered the key aspects of learning because, as most graduates will tell you, a master's degree is an education in how to think. Consequently, I feel that I have also gained the skills needed to be an effective teacher or tutor. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with anyone in need and especially with children. As any good tutor knows, its important to understand how...

...in many different leadership roles. My role of highest acclaim was my position of Miss Oakwood University, where our goals were to implement change at our university and represent them in a national setting. I also was a member of the Oakwood University Aeolians, the official choir of our university. It is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed group that was ranked #1 in the category of gospel, pop, and jazz and has given our school the...

...my Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but as a future graduate student in history, I am strongest and most passionate about that field and the discipline perhaps most needed to be successful in it: writing. I believe learning, especially about history, need not be a boring experience of rote memorization (my senior history thesis was about baseball!) and that education is best practiced as a...

...in school today is how to learn. No two people are the same. No two people learn the same way. My mission is to help my students discover how they learn best. Then, we can use that information to develop a strategy to conquer any material. Along the way, I reinforce my students' efforts with my own experience as a professional student and life-long learner. With a little help, there is no reason that a...
