Viewing credentialed tutors from Chestnut Hill College

I have always loved working with students and have made it my personal passion to be an enthusiastic, creative, and a kind mentor and teacher. As a Spanish teacher in the Philadelphia School District I have seen first hand how creating a positive, nurturing environment within each and every student allows for greater achievement...

...teach organizational strategies and study skills that are so important for academic success. I am a nurturing and dedicated teacher. I quickly connect with my students and help them develop a positive attitude toward their work. My goal is to develop happy, strong and effective students. I look forward to meeting you!

...the atmosphere in the session is fun and intriguing for the student and I am very patient and completely willing to repeat material being learned as much as possible. My goal with every student is to make them feel confident about what they are learning and to develop a sense of empowerment in their ability...

...have experience working with students ages third to twelfth grade and especially love tutoring writing and math. I currently tutor students at my middle school and have two years of experience tutoring for the SSATs. I have my Masters in Special Education and Secondary Math. I graduated from Columbia University in 2010 where I majored...

...as I would love to. Born and raised in Haiti (Central America), I automatically grew up bilingual speaking both Haitian Creole and French. At the age of 8 I was already proficient in English, by the age of 12 I was introduced to Spanish. In 2007, my family decided to move to America due to...

...Since retiring, I love working one-on-one tutoring students at various levels. I recently tutored a third grade boy who suffered a concussion and forgot much of what he had learned. Within about four months. I was able to bring him close to where he was academically before the accident. My teaching philosophy is to take...

...I also was a long-term substitute for a few different schools in PA. I am certified to teach math in PA and NJ for students in grade 7 - 12. I have taught some of everything from 7th grade math to calculus. I look forward to helping you increase your math skills.... There are three things I think make a successful teacher and a successful school year for the teacher and students: respect, engagement, and guidance. Your students will respect you if you respect them as well. Students need to be engaged in your lesson. The easiest way I have found to engage students is to make the activity some sort of game or contest even if it is just a worksheet. Finally, a teacher needs to guide their students in the right direction to a successful education and future. They should help students learn, develop life skills, think critically, and solve problems. Teachers should not just pound facts into their students' heads; you have to teach them how to learn on their own and be able to figure things out on their own. Exploration of the material is a better way for students to learn compared to just lecturing them, plus it is more engaging. If they understand why we do something or where it comes from, they will do better applying that topic. This helps them see the usefulness of the material, which is especially good in mathematics.

...and critical thinking skills is a passion of mine. As an undergraduate, I taught health classes at underfunded high schools in the Bronx, NY. Upon graduating, I went on to teach high school math for 5 years in both Philadelphia and Chicago, simultaneously receiving an M.Ed. in secondary education, mathematics. Every year, my students surpassed...
