Experience
Hello, My name is Miranda and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I believe being a tutor requires an almost insatiable passion for learning and teaching. When you are responsible for helping a child learn, you have to be willing to learn their personality traits and what they consider fun before you can begin to teach. Once I have learned these aspects, I break down the subjects piece by piece and rebuild from the ground up. One of my current students (who is also a family friend) is getting a head start on the easy portion of the SATs. The first thing I did with him was make an outline of the general essay structure so he can memorize it and have that style become second nature. Additionally, I require him to read two news articles a day and write out the main points of the article in five sentences. This will help him become more concise with his supporting facts, rather than injecting too many "I" statements and prepositions. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but I understand that life is unpredictable and I will offer make-up sessions if need be. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you succeed in your studies. Thank you for reading my profile. Sincerely, Miranda C.
