Experience
My experience in teaching and tutoring is extensive, covering a variety of ages and ability levels. I have tutored the academically strong, like the students at Fenwick College Preparatory High School in Chicago. Conversely, I have also tutored those living in foster homes and learning in Trenton’s struggling schools. In addition to tutoring, I have also taught High School English in a failing, urban high school, where I worked to enhance the reading and writing skills of struggling readers. In spite of academic, financial, and social challenges, many students nonetheless made tremendous gains in standardized testing. Those who took part in my after-school ACT program or participated in weekly tutoring sessions improved their test score by as much as 10 points and several went on to receive college scholarships. Though I have left that school, several of my students have elected to continue tutoring at a distance, citing the rarity of my skills and concern for their futures as rationale. Now, as I continue to tutor my former students, I have also expanded my clientele. My current students range from those striving for a perfect score to those struggling for the bare minimum. This has proved a boon to my tutoring ability, for I have cultivated a variety of techniques to engage, teach, and organize all types of learners.
