I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I am patient, and a firm believer that the only "stupid" questions are the ones that are not asked. I have high expectations for my students because I know that they all have the potential and inherent ability to succeed, but that everyone needs a little extra help every now and then. For me, teaching is not simply a job, but a joy, and I look forward to going to work every day.

My teaching style is based around differentiating instruction to meet student's individual learning style. I enjoy teaching and once I am invovled with a student I dedicate myself to learning which, teaching, studying and learning strategies are best for each individual student. I am also a believer that a tutor/teacher need to constantly research to keep up with strategies and new scientific findings thst can be introduced into lesson plans and tutoring sessions. A teacher should be dedicated and knowledgeable and should teach with a caring touch and unbiased opinions. I strive to help students during these formidable years of adolescent growth so that they can learn how to learn and carry it into a successful academic career.

As far as possible, I adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. When I was teaching beginner-level German to an adult opera singer, I focused on helping her develop her conversational skills and pronunciation, using English to explain difficult concepts. By contrast, when teaching a beginner-level 12-year-old, I used a total German language immersion approach and built on my student's love of creative writing by asking her to write her own endings to traditional German short stories. In general, I believe in a natural language acquisition approach that gives students opportunities to practice, make mistakes, and learn from them. Students have told me that they find me to be very dedicated, patient, and encouraging.
I hold a master's degree in language education and certification as a public school teacher in two states, New York and New Jersey. In the last three years I h ... read more

I have been a certified teacher since 2007. I have experience with students with disabilities, which helps me to target problem areas for every type of student, not just those with on-paper disabilities. I tutor students at the high school level for math and English studies. I do my homework for each student, helping to assess where they miscue and how I can intervene. I make things more simple and make students' scores increase.
I prefer a more Socratic approach, whereby I question a student on "why" they are doing something rather than just repeating what they've been told or working from rote memory. I help students learn how to question themselves and work through processes so that when I am not there, they can effectively lead themselves. I am patient and dedicated. I love helping students succeed.

I began tutoring Math and Spanish when I was sixteen. After seeing how I could help students ccelerate in Mathematics, it was the key to me staying in the teaching field. I began teaching at a Middle School right out of graduation and have loved it ever since. In college, I took a course which studied the programs of Microsoft Office and networking. I incorporate Microsoft Excel and Word programs into my Middle School Math curriculum every year to teach my students appropriate data display and how to write papers about Math. I won Rookie Teacher of the Year from the Lutheran School Association and have continued to challenge my teaching style.
I strongly belive in Differentiated Instruction. Every student, no matter what age, has their own learning style. Working toward learning what style (auditory, visual or by using manipulatives such as cards, tiles, etc.) works best for them i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating with a BA in Creative Writing, I spent two years teaching adult literacy classes until 1997, when I stayed home to raise my family. During that time, I attended graduate school part time until I earned my MAT in Education in 2006. Not long after graduation, I taught English 11, 12, and 12AP at East Islip High School, then tutored and taught College Writing through SUNY Empire State. In 2007 I began teaching English 9, 10 as a full time teacher at East Islip until 2010, where I returned to college teaching and taught remedial reading and college writing courses. I also tutored for the SAT and taught a test-preparation course, and returned to the adult literacy world and taught ABE and GED classes.
I find careful lesson planning, addressing students' multiple intelligences and learning styles are the keys to a successful learning experience. Additionally, I con ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a highly dedicated and enthusiastic educator who believes that all children can learn. It is up to the teacher to assess and implement the best method, or variety of methods of instruction for each student. In order to successfully cultivate the motivation to learn or succeed, the teacher must develop a personal rapport by demonstrating respect and compassion for each student. A child must believe in him/herself first, then he/she will believe he/she can learn! It is my pleasure to regularly provide the encouragement and positive reinforcement needed to build the confidence to succeed.
My experience as a teacher has primarily been with students who are struggling with either some form of learning or social/emotional disability. Most of these students have been a challenge, a joy, and a reward to have taught. I have found that most students want to learn and to succeed in sch ... read more

My teaching style tries to incorporate a sense of humor. I prefer to create and use games to avoid endless drill. Whenever possible ,I try to follow a routine so the pupil knows what to expectnext. I believe in the use of rewards to motivate students.
I have taught Special education for approximately ten years in each of the following schools: PS 52{Brooklyn}, Greenport HS and Southold HS. This experience includes work with academic levels from First Grade through College Prep. Within the inclusion program I have also helped prepare students for most NY State Regents Exams.
