My name is Sharon Houssou. I hold a secondary teaching certificate in English for grades 7-12, as well as a Master's Degree in Writing. I work with students to develop clear, effective, and confident academic writing. I will help you strengthen the core elements of strong writing: developing precise thesis statements, organizing ideas logically, and supporting claims with clever, relevant evidence. I will help you create a clear outline, draft with purpose, and revise strategically. I will work closely with you on analytical thinking. Whether you are writing a literary analysis, argumentative essay, or research paper, I will guide you in developing deeper, more precise interpretations, and in using evidence effectively to support your ideas. My goal is to help you recognize patterns in your writing, revise with intention, and build skills that you can apply independently across your academic work.

Let's cut to the chase. You are struggling with some concept, and you are missing the fundamental knowledge to understand it. Fortunately, I am a very patient tutor who is willing to go as far back to the prehistoric age of fundamentals in order for you to succeed. Not only that, we will build an intuitive, conceptual understanding along the way so that you can logically derive the knowledge instead of through memorization. If you want a solid comprehension supported by non-wavering logical and intuitive reasoning, I would be more than eager to help.

I hope to instill within my students the confidence they need to move forward into the world, as well as the necessary skills to be the positive change they seek. I foster a warm and inviting classroom where respect is paramount so students feel safe to take academic risks. As a life long learner, I hope to spark curiosity and a passion for the pursuit of knowledge in my students. I enjoy getting to know more about my students' interests to build rapport and support them.

I love explaining things and seeing students begin to understand something that was previously confusing. I have been a teacher all my life; my first job when I was in high school was tutoring classmates in math. I have been tutoring the SAT for 15 years. I also love Tutoring math, writing, and other subjects.

Hi, my name is Jennifer Williams and I have been an educator for over 20 years. I'm currently a 5th grade teacher and am also looking for tutoring opportunities. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood/ Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership.

I taught middle school ELA for 8 years, and I began my career in Eastern Kentucky as a sixth grade writing teacher. I am currently serving as a 7th grade ELA educator at West York. I am passionate about writing and finding creative ways to introduce students to reading skills they can take with them into high school and beyond. It is my endeavor as a teacher to foster a deep love for reading and writing while also practicing high-level analytical skills necessary for test prep and readiness for the next grade level!

I have 20 years of experience working as a full-time ESL Program Specialist. I have worked with K-12 students in the public schools and for the past 14 years in a university Intensive English Program. I hold a Master of Science Degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Wilkes University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Misericordia University. In addition to teaching classes in reading, writing, listening/speaking and grammar, I have specialized in teaching TOEFL and IELTS test preparation courses to intermediate and advanced level students in the IEP. I particularly love the challenge of equipping my students with the skills, strategies and positive mindset that are critical for success on these high stakes tests. Working with international students has been my passion and privilege. I particularly enjoy the environment of understanding and respect that is created through the open sharing of ideas and culture that takes place both in and out of the classroom.

I have a passion for helping anyone be successful, especially in math. I really love helping students understand seemingly complex ideas in math.Although I have been teaching math for over 20 years, math never gets stale. I love to keep learning and to see familiar problems in a new light.I would love to have the opportunity to inspire you and to help you with algebra, pre-calculus and calculus!

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Creative Writing from Wilkes University, and more than 15 years of tutoring experience, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. I specialize in subjects such as AP English Language and Composition, Creative Writing (fiction, screenwriting, poetry, creative non-fiction), and College Application Essays, where I employ a student-centered approach that emphasizes understanding and creativity. My teaching philosophy revolves around encouraging critical thinking and self-expression, ensuring that each student feels valued and motivated to reach their academic goals. I take great pride in witnessing my students' growth and success, and when I'm not tutoring, I am working on my next creative work, which continually inspires my teaching practice.

I'm a writer and MFA graduate living in Rapid City, SD. I believe that in a teacher-student relationship, no one is superior. I am learning right there along with my student and discovering the subject through his or her eyes. My personal philosophy is that the moment you stop learning, you stop living. Teaching is learning.

Recently, I completed my Masters in Online Teaching from Wilkes University, learning ways to use technology to support diverse learners. My years of classroom experience taught me to respect all learners, finding ways to help people understand their goals and those of educational institutions. I love guiding people to become better communicators through writing and speaking. Literature and poetry are two areas that are fun to explore with me - I focus on the messages we can take from those pieces as well as the formal construction of the art. I believe writing can be transformative for the writer, so I enjoy tutoring the writing process from beginning to end. In my spare time, I travel anywhere, but often walk through Philly, Washington DC, and any downtown to people-watch, browse stores and sample restaurants. I am also a fan of basketball, soccer, and football.

Everyone has the potential to learn and become the BEST version of themselves. I truly enjoy teaching and have 18 years experience as a middle school English/social studies instructor. Recently, I received my adminstration credentials in the state of Virginia, and I am excited to be of assistance in strengthening your educational journey!
