A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children are capable of learning; however it is important to remember that children have various learning styles. Some children may be auditory, textile or visual learners. My approach to teaching is a hands-on style where students can learn material through experience and discovery. My goal is to provide students with a good education while giving them strategies for learning and studying. I believe that if students are not understanding a certain subject, it is important to change the style of teaching to better suit the child. Although I have never tutored students before, I believe that I am a good candidate because I am hard working, patient, flexible and kind.
While attending High School, I was involved with the Special Education students as an aide, in addition to running a classroom of 2 and 3 year olds at a child care facility. I am currently a student ( ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As I grew older, I knew I wanted to go back to school to teach. I raised a special-needs child and when he passed away, I felt I needed to be an advocate to teach children. I currently work in a behavioral school where I teach English and History. It is challenging everyday and it was I am meant to do. English and reading are the essence of school and there is no better feeling when a child finally understands something that they were struggling with. I am highly qualified in English and have been tutoring academics as well as life skills for the past year. I feel my life experience and knowledge will only benefit each child.
An education is the key to life. If a child is struggling and does not have the right guidance, they will end up hating school and everything it stands for. I love working with all children and feel that if I could touch the lives of children, there is ... read more

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am aware that every child learns differently and when teaching, it's so important for the teacher to teach in different ways to ensure every child has success. I hold myself to high expectations and am always looking to better myself as a teacher. I am kind and compassionate. I believe all children can be successful, despite their learning styles. It is the teachers job to give the student options and create an exciting learning environment. Education should open doors for children and make them curious about learning.
Having a teaching certification in K-5 and Special Education, I have had experience in the classroom with all ages and learning abilities. I know every child learns differently and it's important for the child to be shown different ways to reach the solution. I have had numerous classes in Graduate School that has prepared me as an educator in all subject areas. Du ... read more

I just graduated with a BA in Psychology and are two courses short of a minor in Spanish and Sociology. I've always been very strong in the English/Language Arts/Writing areas as well. I am currently a certified substitute teacher and also already do some elementary tutoring. Some of my previous tutoring experience include writing, some psychological statistics and some basic math/language skills.
I love to teach and help others in general. I always had difficulty when I was younger finding a tutor or some help in my studies that I could understand easily. I am a very patient and have a great sense of humor that come in handy during subjects of frustration. I believe if you can bring a child into their comfort zone and put the directions in the most simple fashion, a child can learn anything! I'd love to turn a subject they avoid into a subject to brag about...

A Little Bit About Me...

Considering my extensive experience as an Elementary Teacher, Basic Skills Teacher, In-Class Support Teacher, ABA Instructor, and Recreational Professional, I feel I am highly qualified to tutor. As a past Pre-school Inclusion Teacher and an ABA Home Instructor/Parent Consultant, I have become familiar with the “High Scope” curriculum as well as assessing and evaluating students. My positions as a basic skills teacher in Toms River and Lakewood have helped me to develop various methods in teaching skills in oral language, phonological awareness, shared reading, comprehension, and writing in preparation for the NJ Ask tests.
I believe an outstanding teacher should be intelligent, creative, motivated and caring. She/he also needs to realize that each child is unique with various levels of potential. One must think "outside-the box," continue with ongoing education, and above all ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Have taught a total of nine years in elementary and middle school while raising my three children. It was during this time I discovered two of my three children were diagnosed with special needs. This prompted me to return to school where I obtain my Master's certificate in teaching students with disabilities. I wanted to learn more about how children with special needs learn and the best ways of reaching/teaching them.
I truly enjoy and strive at reaching children according to how he/she learns best, be it kinesthetic, tactile, auditory, visual, or all of the above. I create a lot of my own materials and make learning interesting and fun.

As a non-traditional student I gave a good deal of thought as to what career to go into. I love working with students and enjoy providing an environment that is customized based on the student's individual learning style. I believe all students have a desire to succeed, but frequently struggling students have lost touch with that part of themselves. I would like to offer students an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. I have personally witnessed students transformed when they found a personal connection with the materials they are studying.
I graduated with honors with my AA from ACCC and maintained a 3.4 at Stockton College. While in school as a non-trad. student I have been a full time sub. teacher at Mainland Regional and Ocean City High Schools subbing for 9 years.I have worked with students of all ability levels from the special needs to gifted students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have substitute taught grades K-8 for 4 years now. I have also worked as a teachers assistant as a one on one with a student with a behavior management plan. I have tutored at a learning center for about a year. I have always been involved in the education field, and love working with children.
My philosophy of education is that all students can learn, and it is up to us as teachers to present materials in a way for their understanding. In the classroom with the use of differntiated instruction and tiered assignments I think this helps reach most learners. I also think the use of manipulatives in the classroom help those students who are more hands-on. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present material so that each child has the same opportunity to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create effective learning goals. I believe this will increase a student's motivation and connection to the material. Connections, which are endless and create concrete understanding for students. I am very passionate, easy going and understanding of students. Although, I set the highest expectations because I believe the student can achieve them. Each student can succeed and they will.
The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences.
