George H.

I have tutored for the School District of Philadelphia for 15 years, tutoring students who speak English as their second language and students who struggle with English; speaking, reading, and writing. I have cultivated patience with English language strugglers since I also have struggled to learn new languages. I enjoy listening to students share their stories with me, so that I can get to know them, and be better able to instruct them according to their desires and needs. People learn differently. Some may learn best through conversation, and others may learn best with the aid of a book. That may also depend upon your goals. I am receptive to teaching you with the method you are most comfortable with. I am also willing to challenge you to discover new methods of instruction and discovery.

Earnestly,
George H.
