I am certified in both elementary and special education through SUNY Geneseo. I have been substitute teaching for the past three years while completing my Masters Degree through Western Governors University. I have tutored three students in reading, writing and mathematics. All three students had learning disabilities and all made excellent progress while working with me. Last summer I worked for a group daycare and initiated group tutoring sessions for all students who would be going to school in the fall. I worked with kindergarten, first and second graders and differentiated instruction for the students to help prepare them for the coming year. I enjoy the challenge of determining how each child learns and finding ways that both interest and excite each of my students. Learning should be a positive experience for all students and not an experience that is negative or unpleasant for so

For as long as I can remember, I have been a natural teacher. My children say that I can never take them on an outing without making a "school" trip out of it. I love learning, and desire to share that excitement with others, to see them become life-long learners. I believe that all children can learn, although in different ways. Individualized learning and small group learning is what I enjoy most. I'm patient and work well with children. I'm good at seeing where a student's need is, and then adapting the teaching level and style to match so that he/she can achieve, and be encouraged to move forward. I desire to see students reach their potential, and I believe that that potential is often greater than is evident at first glance. My years of teaching have been greatly varied—traditional/ non-traditional, in the States /overseas, regular/special needs students, children/adults, and wit

I have been teaching and tutoring for the past 10 years. I have a large variety of teaching supplies and resources to use to enhance the learning experience. I enjoy using hands on materials and other recourses to meet the needs of all kinds of learners. I have a “what ever it takes” attitude when it comes to teaching. I have found that creativity is an essential quality of a tutor. I have a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education. I am just currently working toward an Advanced Special Education Master's degree. I will complete this degree this January 2011. I have had additional training in reading interventions, social skills instruction and writing instruction for the elementary level. I truly enjoy teaching and learning ways to teach. I am easy going and often find I have most success when lesson are driven by student interests. I am aware of the education deman

Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I can become a better teacher only by continually challenging myself and my students. The key phrase “engaging students” seems less than what is required in the classroom. I want my students to be engaged but I want them to encompass and enjoy what they are doing as well. I love technology and new method topics; I have a very strong math and science background as well as excellent written and verbal presentation skills. I was a hands on learner and often use hands on methods to teach when possible. I have taught every level from kindergarten to college level and feel comfortable doing so. I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several

I have high expectations that all children can learn and grow. Given that premise, I believe that the primary role of an educator is to assess each child’s strengths and weaknesses and to use this knowledge to meet the student’s needs by building on his or her strengths. My main objective is to create learning experiences that are part of an authentic, integrated curriculum, so that children are able to make meaningful connections to the material being taught. I also believe that it is important to establish a sense that students are part of a community of learners who must work together to make it possible for everyone to learn and grow. My ultimate goal is to utilize the professional training and experience I obtained in the field of education to help others learn and grow. Both my B.S. in Education earned from SUNY Geneseo and my Masters in Reading earned from Edinboro University

In my 28 years experience in the field of education I have taught all grades from pre-kinder through university in bilingual private schools in Mexico City, Mexico. I have experience with the subjects of Reading, Language Arts, English, Literature, Science, Social Studies, History, Music & Art Appreciation. I have prepared students to take SATs, TOEFL Exams and GRE's. I have also tutored special needs students with learning disabiities such as ADD, ADAH, Dyslexia, Turret's Disease, and students who are generally low achievers. I have a passion for teaching and the everyday rewards. Because I have worked in bilingual, private schools in a foreign country I have successfully learned to handle diversity. I have learned to appreciate the individuallity of each student and his or her needs in processing, learning and how they interpret the world. I use Bloom's Toxonomy and Gardner's Mult

Teaching young people and seeing them succeed is such a reward. Many students find the conventional school setting difficult and work with greater success in a one on one setting. Getting to know the student and his or her learning style along with some background enables a tutor to create an atmosphere where the student will be most successful. The student can feel comfortable asking questions, which is not always the case in a traditional classroom. My goal as a tutor is to have a student comfortable and successful! After receiving a degree in Sociology from a New York State University, I went on to earn a provisional teaching certificate in Biology. I have twenty-one graduate hours in Reading and eleven graduate hours in Early Childhood Education. My previous work experience had me working with families where one adult was in need of a GED.

I have a wide range of teaching experience; most at the elementary level. I have worked in three different districts with various age groups.

I have New York State certification in three different areas-Childhood Education-Grades 1-6, Early Childhood Education-Birth –Grade 2 and Physical Education – Grades K-12. I have worked in a traditional classroom setting, as an AIS teaching offering students additional support in reading and math and I have worked in inclusion classrooms. These experiences allow me to work with a wide range of students. I believe that all children can be successful learners. The key is to find the method of teaching that works best for each child.

My teaching style is very well rounded. Meaning I utilize a vast array of tools, high tech to low tech. From smart boards (promethean), webquests via the internet, to old fashioned poster board in a cooperative learning atmosphere. At Harrisburg in the urban environment, I learned to utilize many styles due to low resources and a diverse student population where I had to appeal to a diverse group of learners. I enjoy one-on-one direct teaching the best. In what ever setting I found myself in I utilized the tools I had to the best of my ability to instill knowledge and learning styles in my students.

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life! I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy tutorin

All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support. I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal. My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English.

A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts for 8-12th . Math courses taught included lectured instruction & centered learning. Hands on experiments are vital to making a visual/ life connection. I taught evening classes for Wildlife Conservation & Life Sciences to grades 5- 6 inner city youth. I have taught Autism for 3 years prior to Phoenix and other disabilities 5 years prior to that. Experience in Special Ed. has given me the insight to adapt instruction to individual needs. All children are diverse learners. All children learn differently, and no two are alike.
