Reading Specialist

I am a PA certified Reading Specialist with over 24 years experience teaching students in grades K through 6 in the Philadelphia area. I am also a certified English Second Language Specialist. Currently, I work as a literacy consultant coaching K-3 teachers in literacy best practices, so that they can effectively improve their students' reading levels, raise their students' confidence in themselves as readers and develop a lifelong love for reading. Working part time as a literacy consultant/coach allows me to spend time with my 4-year-old daughter. My extensive background and varied experiences in the field of elementary education and literacy provide me with the knowledge/skills needed to ensure quality instruction to my students.

Hello! I am passionate about helping students learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I have 8+ years of experience working with children ages 6 months-10 years.

I pride myself in developing a positive rapport with my students and families, and I am skilled in developing intervention and enrichment activities especially in the area of literacy. I model effective skills and strategies for my students and guide them in the application of these skills.

I'm a college theater major and national award-winning writer on a gap year (thanks, COVID). I have experience teaching theater and creative writing classes at elementary, middle, and high school levels, and serving as a peer writing tutor for several years. I would be available to tutor a full range of academic subjects with a specialty in writing and reading comprehension. Additionally, having recently completed the college process with admittances to a number of highly selective schools, I could also provide personalized prep regarding applications and supplemental essays. I could tutor privately or for a small pod of kids, in person (wearing masks) or virtually. I have had all of my background checks recently updated, and am CPR certified. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

Brenden is fantastic and he will become an indispensable part of your family life immediately! He has a fun and open personality that captivates even the most unenthusiastic or shy child. My daughter was nervous, but he won her over in the first five minutes and she continually asks for more time with him. He both comes with his own creative ideas for his time with your child and lets them lead with their own interests and ideas. He has the wonderful combination of intelligence, a vibrancy for life, and the ability to transfer both of these gifts to relate to children. He is so reliable it is simply a nonissue. (He is the babysitter or tutor your friend has that you wish you could steal!) Any family and child would be lucky to have Brenden in their lives!

Enthusiastic University Of Michigan Senior Driven To Help Students Reach Their Educational Potential

Avg response < 8 hrs

Hello! I'm Anu, a recent graduate from the University of Michigan with a degree in Biology, Health, and Society, and a minor in Computer Science. I began teaching with Kumon, working with students to master their math and reading skills. I realized how much I love working with students and began tutoring at my middle and high school, continuing to throughout undergrad. While I have the most experience with science and math courses, the breath and rigor of my undergraduate pre-medical studies has given me the skills to tutor for a variety of subjects. I've also taken the MCAT exam and scored very well. In the future, I hope to attain an MD and MPH and serve our community. With the switch to remote learning, I have lots of free time and would love to work with your family! I hope you consider hiring me and I look forward to connecting with you soon. Stay healthy and safe!
