Algebra Tutor Philadelphia

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:27:25 +0000

Tutor Profile

Gender:
Male

Preferred Subjects

Algebra, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, Math, ACT, SAT, Writing, Economics, Public Speaking, Entrepreneurship

Education

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2009 with a degree in Business Economics. I maintained a 3.90 major GPA and a 3.78 overall GPA. I received my Master's in Education from Chestnut Hill College in 2011 and have a dual certification in Special Education and Secondary Mathematics.

Experience:

I am a Teach For America alum in Philadelphia where I taught Algebra 2 and Special Education Algebra. While teaching, I founded an after school SAT program at my high school for motivated students and helped a number of students raise their scores more than 100 points. I scored a 740 in SAT Math, a 630 in SAT Verbal, and a 790 in SAT Writing (when it was an SAT II test).

I founded a nonprofit organization that helps strengthen athletic departments in local schools, which I run full-time as the Executive Director. However, I love teaching, so I also teach an SAT course 3 days per week for Philadelphia Futures, a nonprofit that provides high-potential, low-income students with deep, rigorous programs as they journey to and through college.

During my sophomore year of college, I was the youngest tutor in the campus writing lab and helped hundreds of college students improve their essays. Writing in a structured way is a skill that can be learned, and I have experience in teaching it. If you need help in writing, I will not only help you with your essay, I will teach you to write clearly and concisely.

I want to help your son or daughter build his or her skills with the same energy level and investment I have in all of my students. I take every engagement seriously, whether it is a one-time session or a continued relationship.
