I am an alumnus of Stevens Institute of Technology graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in computer engineering.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life.
I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style. I have taught home instruction and t ... read more

Studying for my MA, I held a TA and found that I had a talent for connecting with students. Although I pursued a business career, specializing in electronic payments, I tutored Math on a part-time basis because I found it rewarding especially when students who told me they "hated math" liked doing math with me and subsequently scored well on their tests. In the last 3 years I had 2 students that achieved perfect 800s on their math.
Showing substitution techniques when the student has to deal with abstract letters and symbols has been very effective. Also, stressing the importance of practice tests as well as the skill of time management is important. Critical is an open communication and a awareness and sensitivity to the students learning needs / skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!

I love teaching and working with children and young adults. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to learn, but it’s just a matter of which way works best for them.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient, confident and intent on building confidence. We all have the ability to learn; that some subjects come easier to others has nothing to do with our individual abilities. When teaching essay writing, the most difficulty students have is forming a narrow thesis statement. Their next challenge is to write 3 or 4 statements following their thesis, which is what they will prove in essay form. I use simplicity in approach. I build confidence. I also use my own modified Socratic method of teaching students how to narrow down the thesis statement. I have met with success every time.
I have written curricula and taught/tutored students of all ages and backgrounds for twenty-five years. As an English high school teacher in Harlem, NYC, I taught students how to write essays, concentrating on the research paper. I have tutored ESL. I have taught verbal SAT prep.

More About This Tutor...

I have always treasured working with children. I found my interest when I started babysitting at age 11. I quickly found that my time spent having fun and entertaining children was something I truly enjoyed. As a educator, I understand that all students learn differently. I work at getting to know all my students on a individual level. This helps to keep student’s interests in mind and incorporate it into what we are currently learning. Paying attention to all learning styles in the classroom helps me to see what some students learn easy and also what some students have difficulty learning. By doing so I am able to meet with students and work on their area of difficulty and try to help them understand the information in the way that is best possible for them to learn.
As a second year teacher, I have much experience working with children of various ages. I have taught Kindergarten, ... read more

I loved working with the students in the Mission Acceptance program. I worked as a team leader, so I had the opportunity to work with a group of fellow mentors as well as students, which provided me experience with a variety of different students. I learned that each student has his or her own path to understanding the material and needs to be approached in a unique way. I find that in order to bring out the best in each student, one must understand how he or she receives information and plan accordingly.
I earned my BS in physics and spent over a year working on medical device research. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh I spent some time in the Physics Undergraduate Lab helping students in the introductory courses.

I have a B.A.in Math,and a Minor in Education,with teaching experience.I also was a Study Skills Instructor at Kean University.
