I believe that all students can learn. Caring for young children can be a large undertaking for a teacher, but all the effort put forth in caring has great value. Children depend on their teachers for multiple reasons, and through that we can make a huge impact in their lives. As a teacher, I will support all that my students do, and I will be there to help them better their lives academically, socially, and emotionally. I want to be able to make a difference in all of my students’ lives. I hope to motivate and engage students, as well as instill in them a passion for learning that they can carry with them into their future.
I attended Towson University where I earned a bachelor degree in Special Education and Elementary Education. To further my education, I am enrolled in graduate courses at St. Joseph's College where I will earn my Master's in the field of Literacy and C ... read more

I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness.

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

I love interacting, teaching, and talking to students. My pleasure comes from seeing the bright smile on a child's face when the confidently turn to me to let me know that they understand what I have taught them. I enjoy developing different strategies for a person to understand the material being learned based around their learning approach, whether they are visual or auditory learners. I like to find fun, simple methods to memorize material. I believe that various ways at understanding material make it quicker to master more information in the same amount of time. Extra help from me as a tutor can make a world of a difference as your child proceeds in his/her educational experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Masters of Library Science graduate, I am interested in sharing reference knowledge and tutoring students in English or Writing. Years as a corporate professional in marketing, manufacturing and retail along with a diverse education in Librarianship, Humanities & Creative Arts, Fashion Marketing has enabled me to learn Web 2.0 social media information technology skills, and edit, author training manuals, correspondence, essays, or freelance pieces.

I say with confidence that my life experiences,enthusiasm, energy,passion for teaching and honed instincts as a teacher make me more confident, driven, enthusiastic and employable than the average new graduate. I am able to challenge students and set realistic goals. I inspire enthusiasm in students which leads to active and engaged learning. I am patient and make a point of treating every child with respect. Additionally, I find it very important to find strenghts in every child. I am committed to help children bridge what they learn today into what they want to become. I believe that providing a child with long term academic study skills is far more effective than short term, quick fix skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a one-on -one paraprofessional at the elementary school level, teaching all subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for eight years in prek-eight grade taching all subjects. I enjoy teaching all ages. I have found the most satisfying experience in helping a student reach his/her potential and see their self-esteem grow immensely as their academic achievements grew. Every student is unique and deserves to have the best education possible. This sometimes means teaching differently to one student than to another. There is no cookie-cutter approach.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life. I have taught gifted and special needs students and find both to be exciting and satisfying. I raise to the challenges set for me and work diligently to ach ... read more
