Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I am certified in Science K-12, Math, and Elementary Ed.

I raised my middle school science program from second-worst in the city to 58th percentile in one benchmark period.

As a Cantor and B'nai Mitzvah tutor, I earned the nickname "Tropmeister" by developing and implementing a training program of the same name.

Did you know that this tutor board thinks that it is a disservice to you, the client, to use bullet-pointing instead of paragraphs? When you are writing fiction, creative nonfiction, or PSSA responses, you will follow the rules (which I can teach you), but the key in clear communication is knowing when to bend or break the rules! If you are looking to learn high-effectiveness writing, I have you covered.

Oh - did I mention that I will improve your skills AND your scores?

Composition (Music)

A composer (as distinct from a lyricist) or an arranger deals in the sequencing of pitch, rhythm, timbre, and envelope to create melody, and then adds considerations of temporal unison (harmony) and temporal relationship (counterpoint) to create a satisfactory musical theme. Issues of form and development create a composition, and genre renders the composition suitable for a desired classification. For example, composers from Mozart to Frank Zappa have written compositions around the four notes... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

K-6 teachers must be able to teach all basic elements of literature, math, science, and social sciences. Literature consists of reading and comprehension, writing composition, and writing mechanics. Comparative literature is not taught at this level. Math includes the four basic functions, place value beyond millions and beyond thousandths, principles and properties of shapes, equations with unknowns, and algebraic relationships. Science principles generally taught include the composition of matter,... Read More

Hebrew

There are two areas of interest to a person seeking Hebrew tutoring. As a spoken language, Hebrew is of medium to high interest among teenagers who are considering participating in the Birthright year abroad in Israel. To teach at this level, one should be conversationally fluent in the language, which I no longer am. The second area is training for B'nai Mitzvah, usually as a twelve-year-old, but undertaken by adults with increasing frequency.

In the Jewish world, I have a moniker,... Read More

Bible Studies

Bible Studies refer to any systematic engagement with the Jewish, Christian, and/or Muslim holy texts. These are mostly described as the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible, Tana"kh in its Hebrew acronym), the New Testament, the Apocrypha, and the Quran, but may also include such texts as the Gnostic Gospels, which fall on the outskirts of mainstream Western theology. I am qualified, as a Jewish cantor, to assist a student in any study of comparative texts with their origins in the Tana"kh, but I cannot... Read More

ADD/ADHD

This diagnosis is overcome by adapting Gardner's Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory to adapting learning to fit the student's strengths, rather than remediating weaknesses.

Aspergers

Asperger's is an unusual diagnosis on the autism spectrum. Frankly, most students with Asperger's have an area of interest at which they are exceptional. Those students, if new material is framed within an aperture of their passionate interest, can learn most subjects successfully. With proper support for the learning of social cues, Students with Asperger's can lead remarkably successful lives.

As a tutor with fifteen years' standing, I have encountered at least a dozen students on... Read More
