Hi! My name is Kaleena, and I have been a teacher with the Pittsburgh Public Schools for five years. I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Kinesiology, and will be graduating from Edinboro University with a degree in Reading in July 2015. I love teaching and also am able to coach basketball, soccer, and cross country at my school. When I'm not working, I enjoy walking my dog, playing sports, watching movies, or enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I look forward to possibly working with you!

Hello! My name is Mya. I can't wait to work with you. A little about me: I am a wife and mom, writer and music lover. For much of my career, I was a managing editor for Pittsburgh area daily and weekly newspapers. Painting beautiful pictures with words always has been my passion. Now, I also write a blog. You can check it out by googling Getting it Write by Mya Koch. Words are a beautiful thing. Let's create some great writing together.

Teaching is my passion! I have spent the last 6 years gaining both classroom and tutoring experience. I have worked with a wide variety of students in grades 6-12 and enjoy new adventures! My diverse background has given me the opportunity to learn the importance of differentiated instruction. I will do my best to help students of all ability levels achieve success!

I'm a recent graduate of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where I received my degree in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry. During my time at Edinboro, I was offered a tutoring position with the chemistry department in the beginning of my junior year. From then on, I was a constant face in the tutoring room, absorbing knowledge from other tutors and helping fellow students who needed it. This is where the majority of my tutoring experience comes from. At Edinboro, I tutored many different chemistry subjects, including General Chemistry, Principles of Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. Currently, I am working at Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) as an analytical chemist in the chromatography department. My job at PPG allows me to use my chemistry skills every day to analyze incoming samples and keep my chemistry knowledge fresh. My goal as a tutor is to ensure that students get the knowledge they need to not only pass a test, but to understand the material in a way that will help them use their knowledge for future classes and beyond. Outside of science, I enjoy reading (Harry Potter!), skiing, playing The Sims, and enjoying the wonderful foods the world has to offer.

I have been teaching since 2004. Most currently, I teach high school in all subjects. I enjoy teaching math the most. I feel passionate about educating children and providing them a comfortable environment, either in person or remotely. Students learn best when they feel comfortable enough to ask questions. That is what I want to provide to all students.

I am a dedicated educator with experience teaching in the classroom and tutoring a range of students one-on-one in math, science, social science, art and language arts. I establish trust through patient listening and by recognizing each success that is achieved. My experience has shown me how to provide additional levels of increasingly difficult challenges so the student acquires confidence in themselves and their abilities. A well-designed course of study sets the learner up for "wins" that keep them coming back for more.I vary my teaching methods according to the individual student, the nature of the material and the individual ways the student best acquires knowledge. I may achieve the objectives of the lesson by delivering the same content in several ways so that the information is learned on various cognitive levels (hearing, seeing, touching, memory, reasoning) and to keep the lesson interesting.During the tutoring process, I acquire an understanding of how I may structure a tutoring session by learning the individual student's best way of acquiring knowledge and by making lessons relevant by involving the student's personal interests (i.e., video games, sports, family activities, music).More recent work experience as a substitute teacher has brought me into classrooms in several school districts in central New Jersey with students of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds and varying levels of cognitive and social development. I have had success in engaging students with individual educational programs and with classifications that require special accommodations in their classroom environment including: ADHD, cognitive LD, autism spectrum, and emotional and social challenges. I have also worked with precocious children, gifted & talented and advanced placement students who require more challenging work and creative ways to engage in the material.After a twenty-year career in the graphic arts with several companies in New York City, I returned to school and acquired a teaching certificate. I teach with the awareness of the competitive nature of the workplace and the necessity of being organized, focused and on task to achieve and succeed. I am a working artist, art tutor and art teacher with an NJ standard license in Art Education, K-12. I also have standard licenses in Elementary Education, K-5 and Teacher of Graphic Design.The art education program I completed focused on writing and reflection on art, art making and teaching. This emphasis on reflection is a useful tool that I employ to gauge the effectiveness of my instruction and how I may revise my lesson plan to achieve the lesson objectives. Analytical thinking and writing also supports me in tutoring language arts.I enjoy cooking meals for my family, running and biking, and playing blues, jazz and classical music on the piano. I grew up in a bilingual Italian family and have visited the major museums of Paris, New York City and Italy. I enjoy reading science fiction, art, history and how-to books.If my friends were to describe me they would say I was patient, kind and curious about Life in all its forms and behaviors.

I graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelors in Fine Arts (Magna Cum Laude). My concentration was in painting. Additionally from Edinboro University, I have acquired 27 credits of graduate level work in Clinical Psychology and Art Therapy. Teaching has been my passion and skillset for the past 25 years as I have substituted in many schools K-12, homeschooled my own children for a few years, and privately tutored children and adults in art and music. Since 2018, I have worked as a teaching assistant at the Montessori charter school in our area (K-6). The Montessori child centered and subject connectioning education philosophy informs my approach to teaching. I believe that by connecting interests and tailoring lessons to a student's strengths, we can open up a natural curiosity and internal motivations while also discovering that learning is fun. As a teaching assistant, I move around many classrooms in addition to my own assigned room. I am always welcomed by the students with excitement because they know that I like and respect them and we will enjoy our time together. My favorite subjects to teach are math and art (often I combine the two in my lessons). Music and History are also favorites. However, I love teaching and learning any subject. In my free time I play advanced piano and sometimes create videos for youtube. I paint oils for galleries or commissions. I love to get out in nature and travel.

I specialize in writing, science, math, and art, and I am passionate about helping students meet their goals while building on their strengths. With my background in psychology, I believe it is important to create a nonjudgmental environment where students feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, and discovering their spark for learning. I enjoy working with students ranging from 2nd grade through adulthood, with a focus on making concepts clear, manageable, and engaging. My goal is to help students build confidence in their abilities while developing skills that support long-term success.

I am a graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a Bachelors in Mathematics. I primarily focused on pure mathematics during undergrad, but also have taken many classes in applied math and computer science, in particular theoretical CS. I hope to tutor in a way that promotes a thorough conceptual understanding over memorization of methods or formulae. In my free time I enjoy playing piano and rock climbing.
