Certified Tutor in Most Subjects:SAT/ACT/GRE/SSAT/ISEE Test Prep, Math
Teaching is one of my passions. As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I treasure education. In fact, I agree with Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the University of Pennsylvania, who said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.†Education has been the pathway to a more satisfying and empowered life for just about everyone I know. I am a former teacher and homeschooler with decades of teaching experience at all levels (K-12). I have a B. S. in Education, with a min...

Ms. Angela is a phenomenal tutor. Her patience and knowledge works miracles! My daughter had taken the ACT test 3 times, nearly lost hope. I decided to get a tutor and Ms. Angela was an angel sent to us. She was consistent with my daughter, always accessible, and made the learning experience interesting for her. She took the test and finally passed. Her score in English ACT went from 13 to 18. We are forever grateful for the results of her knowledge and her passion for tutoring and teaching!

Working with Angela has been very helpful and an overall great experience, she has a thorough knowledge of the material and was able to relate that to me in a way that was easy to understand. She provided all the practice tools and tests necessary. Each session focused on my individual needs, and every area of the ACT exam was covered with emphasis on sections that I found more difficult. She had many strategies to offer which have been very helpful and the sessions have significantly improved my scores. Along with ACT help, Angela also offered a lot of college advice. Overall, Angela is an excellent tutor, easy to reach, always available to answer questions, and very pleasant.

Tutor Angela has been working with my son for the last eight weeks, we should have started sooner since we were scheduled for the march 14th SAT but in those eight lessons he gained so much confidence and knowledge on how to strategize the time allotted and the actual test itself, he felt very prepared going in for this test. My son will definitely continue working with her if he is going to take the test again in May and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for A tutor.

Angela has been tutoring my daughter to prep for the SAT for about a month now. I believe she has had 4 sessions so far, mostly to prep for reading, but is just starting the prep for the math. We have been very satisfied by Angela's instruction. My daughter finds her clear and easy to understand, responsive to questions, and very focused on what she needs. I have been impressed by her organization (she has a specific plan to help my daughter prep within the time we have), and I also appreciate her flexibility. We have had to reschedule sessions, and for one session she actually worked with my daughter on short notice, when schools were closed for a snow day. Finally, Angela actually works with my daughter online rather than face to face. At first I was skeptical about this arrangement, but it has worked out beautifully. Sessions are not cancelled due to bad weather, and there is no driving necessary so everything starts on time and it saves time for us in the long run. I also believe since my daughter is in a familiar environment, there are less distractions this way (or we control better for them). Also, if I happen to be nearby, I can hear the session, so I know what they are working on and can provide assistance to my daughter at a later time if she needs it. Likewise, she can work anywhere in our home with the lap top, so we don't have to take up space and create a quiet area in the dining room, which is where she would work if the tutor came to our home. As an aside, my daughter is also getting SAT prep classes in school and she has found Angela's instruction to be much more helpful, thorough, and rigorous. Thanks, Angela!

Angel worked with my daughter for only a few weeks prior to the SAT focusing mainly on her greatest area of need --the reading and writing sections. The tips and practice information provided a good foundation for my daughter to go into the test with confidence resulting in a score increase of 250 in those two areas. We will contact her again prior to the next test.
Richard C. from Ambler, PA
Angela has been fantastic for my daughter. Truly a great fit. She ensures that my daughter understands fully before proceeding on to further lessons. I am very pleased with our choice in tutor!
Lisa G. from Philadelphia, PA
My daughter started tutoring with Angela for math. She is showing more confidence in her math work. And she's not as anxious when taking tests.
Karen J. from North Wales, PA
When searching for a tutor to help my daughter with SAT prep I found Angela, or say she found us. I did not see her profile, at first, but after posting what I was looking for she reached out to us. Originally, I was looking for someone close to where I live because my daughter has a hectic athletic schedule. I was worried about missing scheduled tutoring times because a practice ran over. Likewise, I didn't want to inconvenience a tutor who may have driven somewhere to meet us only to cancel at the last minute. I needed to find someone who would be flexible and accommodating able to change appointment times if needed. So when Angela told me she would be able to teach my daughter, by way of the internet, from my very own home, I was more than intrigued. This ability would alleviate any hassle or worry on my part. Although I was skeptical at first I decided to set up appointments and give it a try. After my daughter's first tutoring session, I firmly believed I found the best tutor. By way of the computer Angela is able to connect with my daughter, teach, and present material, through a virtual office set up. My daughter is able to interact with her, ask questions, just like she would if she was sitting in the same room as her. Throughout the sessions, Angela will adapt her pace and teaching style based on how my daughter responds to her questions. She is able to pinpoint areas of strengths and weaknesses. No question is ever a stupid. Likewise, Angela makes sure my daughter understands concepts presented before she moves on to the next topic. How do I know this? Because I am able to hear their entire session. Very impressed with her teaching style and manner in which she carries out her lesson plans. She is always prepared, easy to get in touch with, usually she will get back to you in less than 30 minutes. Although I have never met her face to face, I feel she is a truly a caring and compassionate woman. A real gem!
Angela B. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Angela was very easy to understand and had great teaching techniques. Very helpful for Reading & Writing sections of SAT. Understands how the SAT works and gives good test taking tips. I would use again, highly recommended.
Pamela G. from Duarte, CA
Ms. Angela continues to provide my daughter with the assistance that she needs. She always goes the extra mile to provide worksheets, and even take extra time to make sure that my daughter is understanding the assignments. I am so glad that I found her, and so is my daughter. She is slowly gaining confidence in her abilities again.
Holly Z. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Ms. A is a very organized and patient tutor. Easy to schedule the appointment and communicate. I would highly recommend Ms. A to any other student.
Betsy J. from Philadelphia, PA
Angela's tutoring of my son is really working. Most importantly he enjoys his time learning with her and is responsive to her requests and guidance. I find her ability to engage him in learning is key to the work they are doing together. This is above and beyond her subject matter expertise which is very evident. Also, working with her is easy. She is very responsive to calls and emails. Additionally she works with my son via video and online learning which he enjoys and enables them to optimize their time together. All in all a great experience.
Andrea B. from Ontario, CA
Angela A. is just a gift from God. She investigated and found my sons deficits, and then jumped in to help him learn. My son is expressing more confidence with his math. Such a good investment!!
Dammon E. from Philadelphia, PA
Angela is a wonderland tutor for my daughter. She shows great patience and is well organized with her lessons. Great communication skills with the my daughter and myself. Wish there were more tutors available like her. Great overall.
Haodan Y. from Dresher, PA
I asked Angela to help my niece with her SAT preparation. Angela was very flexible scheduling the time and very punctual for each lesson. She is an excellent communicator to parents and she is willing to taking her time to discuss with parents about the student's progress and giving suggestion. She would like to step forward to help the kid. During the classes, she identifies the student's strong and weak points quickly so she adjust her teaching emphasis accordingly. She speaks very clear. She also developed her own tools to be able to teach on-line efficiently. My niece enjoyed her teaching and felt very helpful.
Racell P. from Folsom, PA
First meeting with Angela was excellent. She is very knowledgeable and understanding. She asks open-end questions to gain an understanding of strengths and weaknesses. This is just one of many things she did well. We are looking forward to our next session!
Stephanie R. from Philadelphia, PA
Review lesson plan, went over problems that she gave him. She also check his answers right away to see if my son is on the right track. Also gave Harry homework for his next lesson.
Lisa B. from Voorhees, NJ
This was my daughters first session and she found it excellent. She is a very good student and feels that Angela will help her get to the next level of testing.
Marina D. from Mc Lean, VA
She is aware of the areas that she needs to work on with her students. She is also very flexible.
Jennifer G. from Marlton, NJ
Angela was very responsive, she made herself available under a tight time pressure, she helped my daughter feel confident in her college essay, she made important grammar corrections as well as structural recommendations to the essay. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their college essay. I did not use her for anything else but I feel that she has a lot to offer in this process and will use her again if necessary, thank you Angela!
Nang K. from Philadelphia, PA
Angela is helping me understand grammar through reading and conversation. She is a great tutor and I am very happy to have her as my teacher.
Donna H. from Columbus, NJ
Tutor Angela, Today was excellent!! Thank you!! You're ability to be flexible and material available on the fly for the SSAT review was superb and unexpected!! As a parent and unfamiliar with the process. I sat in on this first lesson... My son was so engaged with your lesson. He's looking forward to future sessions. Thanks again
Linda M. from Wayne, PA
Angela is amazing! Angela has my daughter explain to her how she got her answers so she can see her thought process and determine where she is going wrong (or right)! Angela was able to find my daughters weaknesses and strengthen them. This has given my daughter more confidence. At first, we were not sure how it would be to work with a tutor online. We decided to give it a try based on Angela's reviews. It has honestly been a great experience. It is really as if Angela is right there next to my daughter. Angela is very knowledgeable and an exceptional teacher!
Lydia S. from Philadelphia, PA
She made sure I understood what we were learning. The way it was interactive was really cool. Looking forward to the next time.
Sandhya S. from Wilmington, DE
She explains every single word to choose the correct answer; "why it is and why not". I think that is very important.
Monica M. from Norristown, PA
I asked Angela to help my daughter with brainstorming,, writing and editing essays for a leadership trip application. I sat in on the first lesson. She got right to business. There wasn't any wasted time. I liked how she asked my daughter questions to help her brainstorm. My daughter is a difficult person to win over. My daughter told me, "She knows what she's talking about". After reading the work my daughter submitted today, I felt the the money was worth every penny. We will definitely use Angela's tutoring services again. Thanks!
Evelyn D. from Philadelphia, PA
Angela is an excellent tutor. I'm especially thankful for her working with me last minute on my scholarship essay. She listens, provides insightful feedback and gets things done in a timely manner.
Vivian W. from Caldwell, TX
Angela has been tutoring my son who has ADHD for his SAT, she is very patient with him. Thanks Angela.
Victoria P. from Tampa, FL
Extremely patient and knowledgeable. She boosted my confidence so much. I feel better prepared and ready to attack the GRE, this was only my first session and I know that I will have an increased understanding of how to master the test as our lessons progress on.
Marla L. from Chadds Ford, PA
This Tutor is amazing! The time and support she gave my son to study and prepare for the SAT and structure his college essay proved successful. When we started working with Angela, my son had trouble writing his college essays, and he also struggled with the ACT and couldn't get his score up enough to be considered for the top tier schools he was considering. Although he had good grades and extra curriculum activities under his belt, the ACT was still a hurdle. He had worked with a private Tudor as well as Huntington but the score was not improving. Frustrated with his results, I found Angela on Wyzant and he began working with her on his essay and ACT prep. It was only after working with Angela and her guidance to have him take the SAT is when things turned around for him. He began working with Angela and focusing on the SAT while using her methods and suggestions and took the SAT, after taking the ACT 5 times. Forward a moth later, many nights of prep, Angela's guidance and instruction...he improved his SAT to over an 1800. He was accepted to Northwestern University in the Fall. His hard work, good grades, leadership qualities and Angela's SAT prep got him there and we are so very thankful. Angela also worked with him on his essay which was so powerful. If you haven't found someone to help you with your child's preparation for the SAT and college essays, don't waste your money on those national chains, try Angela first!
Darlene W. from Philadelphia, PA
This was her first session with Angela and she was very helpful in explaining to her what is needed. Her patience and knowledge was appreciated.
Aurelio M. from Haverford, PA
Angela taught me how to write GRE essays. She was able to review my essays very thoroughly and was able to explain to me very clearly what her expectations are when reading GRE essays. I would strongly recommend her to any other person wishing for some help on the GRE.
Donna R. from Niagara Falls, NY
Angela has been so instrumental in helping our daughter with the Math, Science and English part of the ACT. Her patience, her knowledge and her ability to quickly assess where the student needs to target their efforts is quite a gift. Our daughter feels much more confident and prepared to write the next test. Blessed to have found her!!!
Sonya H. from Hope Mills, NC
