Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Delaware County, PA

...at West Philadelphia High School for a year through a program called Community School Student Partnerships. I am dedicated to making difficult material more accessible and engaging to students who are struggling in an imperfect educational environment, and also to fostering literacy, writing and critical thinking skills that can be applied to all subjects and beyond. I am a research assistant at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and in my free...

...I have an extensive background in teaching-related leadership and volunteering. With me, you will never have a boring lesson--I try to make learning as fun and engaging as possible! I am more than qualified to teach the subjects I have listed in my profile, having received 5's on all my APs, and a score of 2280 on the SATs. I'm also fluent in Mandarin and English, and can speak conversational Cantonese. When I'm not tutoring,...

...be getting into medical school. While I can tutor in many of the natural sciences due to BU’s curriculum and my recent completion of the MCAT (which also includes a verbal reasoning section!), I love sharing my knowledge of biology with people. I find the way the human body works fascinating at all levels, from atomically, to macroscopically. I particularly like tutoring biology because there seems to always be something more to learn or further...

...and why it can be important. A person can accomplish little without knowledge, and I don't just mean developing the theory of relativity, 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. I have been fortunate enough to contribute...

...deepen their expertise/broaden their competencies. They should be excited about learning, about their careers, about their students, and about the world and all its marvels (but still be grounded and realistic). Teachers should be role models for emotional and physical wellness, but should also model feedback-seeking, growth mindset, and the willingness to fail or stumble and be accountable for mistakes and imperfections. 5. Learning is relationship-based. Students learn best from adults they love and trust....

...siblings with their academic problem areas, namely math and science. I would also mentor my peers in high school in various subjects. I believe that the key to achieving academic success in any given subject is to find a study method that works for you. I have had a lot of experience with trial and error myself, and would love to help others personalize their study habits to work for them. By working individually with...

...English major at Temple University. I thoroughly enjoy working with students. I frequently volunteer to help students with learning for the SAT and I assist in college admissions applications. I have tutored everything from math to writing and I would love to help anyone who needs it! When the schools shut down, I tutored a 2nd grader, a 4th grader, and a 6th grader in all subjects. In my free time I enjoy running and...

...Comprehension, Writing, and have successfully tutored those subjects. It is my opinion that empathy is the most important skill for a teacher. I have a knack for listening to a student's response, hearing where the block in his or her understanding lies, and bringing the discussion to that place so we may reach our goal. My style of teaching constantly adapts to the needs of the individual student, using visual aids, mnemonics, and emotional support...

...various technical roles at a startup data analytics company for about 6 years. But my interests reach far beyond the STEM field. I also studied fine art for several years, and have skills with painting, sculpture, pottery, and many other crafts. I love to garden, forage wild foods, hike, and connect with nature. I have 2 Permaculture design certificates and worked in farming/gardening for a few years. (If you haven't heard of Permaculture, I highly...

...studied education in Temple's graduate program, and I have a bachelor of science in physics from Drexel University. I taught high school classes of chemistry, biology, physical science, and earth space science in Northeast Philadelphia. I have also worked on a project to create a code that generates animations of simulated galactic dynamics. More recently, I have co-authored my second scholarly article concerning a dark matter search apparatus engineered with PICO international collaboration.

I studied physics, neuroscience, and mathematics at a top 5 liberal arts college and I am currently studying and conducting medical research at the University of Pennsylvania. I have over 8 years of experience tutoring both kids and adults in math and science.

I believe that all students can learn if the right teacher and methods are employed. I have developed methods the areas of problem solving, balancing equations, and developing good responses to essay-type questions that are unique, yet very effective. I enjoy tutoring and feel that I can be helpful to those in need of science help, particularly in chemistry and physical science.

...since my graduation, I have pursued freelance editing for college students. Proofreading and content editing papers and dissertations has helped me maintain my writing and English skills, and encouraged me to seek out information about different citation styles. While I now tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about music, French, and English. I love the potential for communication and creativity that languages and the arts provide. My tutoring approach focuses on meeting...

...prep, and Chinese! Often times these subjects can seem boring, but with a little bit of humor and creativity, I guarantee we can make progress while having a good time. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2011 after spending two years studying and working in Beijing, China. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, playing basketball, watching movies, mountain climbing, fishing, and about a million other things. Hope to see you soon!

...background also allows me to feel comfortable tutoring a range of subjects. My tutoring style can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity...

I am a new graduate of Drexel University's accelerated BSN program. I received my first degree in English Literature with a minor in history from Temple University and was a member of their honors program. During high school I took all honors and AP level courses. I am happy to help with reading comprehension, essay writing, or standardized test prep. I look forward to working with you!

...with several students in West Philadelphia through a student-run program at Penn. In addition, I have two years' experience teaching a Sunday school class at my church and nearly ten years of babysitting experience. While I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about reading, writing, and history. I am currently the editor of Temple's online literary magazine and the Kelly Writers House Junior Fellow, a position through which I have...

...and I'm a double major in math and astrophysics, and after college I'm hoping to be a high school teacher. I love helping students with almost any area of math or physics! I particularly enjoy teaching calculus, and trying to help people find the incredible beauty in a subject that is all too often hard or frustrating. I also enjoy teaching real analysis and helping people with the transition to proof based math.

...for all 4 years. I then graduated from Pitt's MAT program in 2020, and earned my English 7-12 Teaching Certificate, and completed my student teaching in an 8th grade Language Arts class. This year, I have been a long term substitute in a 6th grade English class for the entire school year. I also have experience tutoring for SATs and up through 8th grade level math. My main interests are in English and Literature, but...

...with a real passion for learning. I studied English Literature in undergraduate (DePauw University) and graduate school (Indiana University), and plan to continue studies towards a PhD in literature in the next few years. I have been a writing tutor and instructor, and have also helped students with reading comprehension in a wide variety of subjects. My hope is to leave students feeling smarter than they did before they came to me.
