I have a very engaging manner with students. I feel that learning is a joy, rather than a chore and I try to pass that attitude on to my students. I use frequent checks for understanding and reteaching when necessary. I also believe that a student's own insights and questions can guide learning to its highest levels. I have been a full-time classroom teacher at all grade levels for the last 12 years. I also have several years as a substitute teacher. I specialize in differentiating instruction for all learners. In addition, I can teach reading and writing skills using authentic sources and classroom subject matter so that students don't fall behind on content-learning at the expense of practice with unrelated materials.

Twenty-five years of service as a Christian educator allows me to offer experience, wisdom, and commitment to my students. I hold permanent New York State certification for nursery - sixth grade. Besides teaching fifth and sixth graders full time for thirteen years, it has also been a blessing to teach at every level from pre-kindergarten to adult education. One on one teaching opportunities have always been part of my ministry. The following are programs for which I have tutored: LaGuardia Community College, Ronkin Education Group, and Huntington Learning Centers. My students have been successful by learning hands on math concepts, higher level thinking in the content areas, and development of language skills. Each person is wonderfully made! I strive to find what learning styles will nurture the maximum academic growth for each student. Patience, persistence, flexibility, enthusia

I enjoy teaching and working with children. All children can learn, as I see it. Learning should be enjoyable, and something a child is eager to do. Some simply feel overwhelmed, and need to have subjects simplified and to be inspired to want to learn. In today's world, some subjects initially seem too complex. I am available to help your child feel inspired and to feel a sense of satisfaction in learning. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I strive to find ways to simplify something a child finds difficult and frustrating. I believe a good educator can make a profound difference in a child's education. I am a retired US Coast Guard officer with twenty three years service, now holding a Bachelor of Science degree. I initially studied electrical engineering for two years, including chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and earned two year degree in mathematics and history. I then

I love learning, and was a member of the National Honor Society while in school. I believe every child has the potential to become an outstanding student and to enjoy attaining goals. I feel that the biggest obstacle to learning is often in the delivery of the message, rather than the inability to grasp a new concept. I am a patient and easy going teacher, striving to model myself after the teachers who were inspirational to me. During my professional appointments, the most rewarding part of my jobs was the ability to mentor and train others in the skills and knowledge I had gained over the years, which enabled them to become outstanding assets to our teams. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Biology and more recently, as BS in Information Systems, graduating with honors. As such, I have a thorough understanding of math, science and computer concepts, as well as a strong co
