Experience Summary
During high school, a manager at work asked if I would help tutor his Hispanic children. The tutoring lasted for about a year and we were all satisfied with the results. After graduating from Rutgers in 2006 with a BA in Psychology, I found a job as a residential counselor for the Devereux Foundation. Math and writing were top priorities and daily notes were taken to see how well each client progressed each week. I now work with a population of students who have developmental disabilities, such as autism. We focus our time on math, grammar, science, the arts, and social skills as well. Also, I have an extensive background in writing and researching due to my undergraduate and graduate work (MS completion).
Teaching Style
I believe in education and feel that everyone has the right to a solid foundation in learning to begin or expand their lives. Most of my experience comes with children, but I have no issues in working with people of all ages. People tell me that I am caring, compassionate, and helpful in times of need. I teach others with an emphasis on making the conditions comfortable for a student. A person at any age will learn the most if they are treated with respect and given ample time to absorb the information. I strongly believe it is my job to ensure that the student has trust in me and that I give 100% of my time and energy to each student.
