I can tutor students from elementary through high school, except for high school mathematics and science. I will graduate in May 2013 from West Chester University, with a BA in Liberal Arts with Minors in History and French. I have been on both ends of learning - as a student (yes I've been tutored) and as a tutor (Volunteer English Program - VEP). I LOVE learning and expect to continue taking classes after I graduate from WCU.

I'm retired from a full time occupation, and having decided to attend college and get my degree, I've been working hard on that since 2007. It has been the most challenging and rewarding path I've ever pursued. I love seeing people accomplish, the spark that says "I understand, I know" - it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I hope to pass this on to children and young adults who are motivated to learn, but need support and encouragement. I have been so fortunate to have professors who have supported and encouraged me to pursue my degree, and are proud of my achievements, and that makes a world of difference in how you learn. Patience and caring, expressing pride and support for your accomplishments will be a source of accomplishment to me.

I know it's become a cliche, but I really want to help people learn, to make a difference in someone's life - will it be yours?

Study Skills

As a student at West Chester University for the past seven years, it has been critical to have excellent, if not exceptional, study skills. I know how to prioritize subject matter, read for content, collect information for an outline, research the internet, books, magazines and journals to find information to use for classes. I have an overall 3.72 GPA which could not have been achieved if I did not have excellent study skills. The fact that I am currently using them will help me help a student... Read More

Public Speaking

I spent five years in Toastmasters International, achieving the rank of "Competent Toastmaster" and "Competent Leader" by making 20 speeches in various genres, and providing leadership in the organization. I also have made numerous presentations at West Chester University as part of my classes in French and English for French and History classes, all part of the requirements of courses I took or am currently taking.
