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 no be

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. I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework. I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.
