Experience Summary
I have been working in the field of education for over 20 years. As a teacher in New York City and New Jersey, I have learned how to effectively teach children how to express themselves in writing, read for comprehension, and use critical thinking skills while attacking mathematical problems. During the last five years I have been tutoring children with special needs in basic skills and organizational areas. I have also tutored students from preschool to sixth grade in all academic areas.
Teaching Style
I believe that in order to effectively reach a child, a teacher must understand children and enjoy being in their company. Throughout my years of teaching, I have found that all children are equipped to learn and succeed. Every child has a unique method of understanding information, and my job is to find what that learning style may be for each student. An effective teacher has a sense of humor, patience, and is flexible to the needs of the student.
