Seek first to understand and then to be understood.

I enjoy an interactive style with students rather than relying on teaching straight from the text book or using a lecture format.
I have taught English at the secondary school level in New York City. I have also worked for publishing companies and edited books, magazine articles, and press releases. In the last decade I have worked within the State University System of New York in the grants and contracts field. I have written grants and administered grants monies for program use.

Certified Public Librarian

Patient and kind...I like to set specific goals but always encourage creative and imaginative ideas and ways of expression. I can be firm when needed but also like to bring a sense of humor into play, so to speak.
After six years of social work experience as a caseworker for Westchester County Department of Social Services where I worked extensively with families and children with special needs, I returned to college to receive my Master's degree in Library and Information Science. In 1978 I started my librarian career at the New York State Library, as a reference librarian specializing in the humanities, social sciences and legal research. I soon became coordinator of staff training (for a staff of over 200), both organizing and teaching classes in many subjects, and was liason with the New York State Data Center and Census Bureau. My interest and love of teaching and working with ... read more

English Language Arts Teacher

I believe that real learning takes place when students are actively engaged in the material. Finding the right materials to teach with will often inspire intrinsic motivation.
I have currently spent over 350 hours in a variety of school settings. From private school to public, first grade to twelfth, I have seen it all. The majority of my experience has taken place in a suburban middle school, however I have also spent a reasonable ammount of time working with inner city high school students. I double majored in college to recieve a bachelors degree in literature and writing, and spent a full year interning at a student run newspaper as a journalist and copy editor. I have tutored middle school students with a variety of learning disabilities, as well as SAT prep for high school students. I am currently registered for a series of NYS tests to earn my certification to teach.

I'm Here to Help!!!

I am a twenty eighty year old graduate of the University at Albany where I received my Bachelors in English Lit. in 2011. I have no previous teaching or tutoring experience but that does not mean I lack the knowledge or skill necessary to help one learn and grow. I am an avid reader and aspiring writer and try to put thought to paper every day.
I have often thought about becoming a teacher and have been told by friends, families and previous instructors in my own learning I would make a good one but I feel my personality would be better served in a more laid back and less rigid atmosphere. I am very laid back, amiable and have a strong passion for what I've learned and what I do (the whole aspiring writer thing I mentioned earlier).

My teaching style is very structured and organized. I teach with the style that every child is unique and learns at their own style and pace. I do not believe in rushing learning nor that every skill, style, environment or learning setting works for every student. My teaching style also mirrors the idea that children learn through hands on, interactive, tactile, and motivating experiences, resources and materials. Most of all, my style of teaching is based upon tapping into each child's own interest or interests that academics can be related and taught through.

My teaching style is professional, friendly, and peer to peer. I like to break things down for students and I encourage them to ask a lot of questions. I try my best to gauge how the student learns and teach them 'tricks' based on their learning style for committing what was taught to memory. Lastly, I try to build confidence in my students- from what I've seen, that's the key to success. I believe that people inherently know how to express themselves and have it in them to grasp complex concepts easily, it is just a matter of a little guidance.
My educational and professional experience are both concentrated on writing. More narrowly, analytical writing and legislative reporting. My experience tutoring on writing goes back to when I was part of a volunteer peer program, tutoring English as a second language students to assist them with mastering the English regents.

Through the years of experience, I have developed skills in flexibility that have benefited all my students. I believe that intensive planning with concentration on the students’ interests, strengths, and academic needs has been one of the keys to success in teaching in any of the age groups. Student input is of the first priority. Implementing students’ current IEPs, of course, is quite necessary to support the students’ paths to success. I know that collaboration with all adults, professionals and caregivers is essential in providing the best program for each student. Most importantly, I wholeheartedly believe that developing warm, yet firm, caring and trusting relationships with students positively affects student accomplishments
As a special education teacher with 20+ years experience, I continue to be a dedicated professional desiring to tutor special needs and at-risk s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began as a middle school English teacher in the Bronx a decade ago. For ten years I’ve taught English language and literacy skills in New York, Oakland and Ecuador. I speak Spanish and have a second master’s degree in journalism. I achieved humbling recognition as a writer and producer of print and radio journalism in Alabama and New York. Called back to my original love for helping young adults, I returned to my starting point, accepting another middle school job in the Bronx in 2009 before circumstances pushed me upstate. As a teacher and journalist I have developed a deep understanding of English, and have had much success in teaching it to all levels of learners.
I understand frustration at school because I experienced it myself. I believe a better grasp of communication (reading, writing, speaking skills) can change a student’s confidence about learning (and life) and improv ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I understand that children have various learning styles and work with them to identify ways that they learn best. I love teaching and working with all children. Patient and caring, I like to utilize learning through play with younger children. I want to make a difference in children's lives and help them grow confidently in today's society.
I have taught elementary special education reading classes, directed a play, taught creative movement classes, and won the Outstanding Thesis Award in the state of Ohio from the Ohio Association of Family and Consumer Science. Passionate about child development, I have also been a nanny and a preschool teacher. I am patient and love researching, writing, and reading.
