As the Director of Curriculum and Program Development as well as the lead instructor for two music schools, my background has seen me teaching about 70 students a week while implementing several programs that focus on the quality and administration of all academic programs in the school. These programs offer opportunities for students to focus on songwriting with a strong emphasis on theory and applied musical knowledge. The programs allow students to develop group etiquette, arranging skills, and an understanding of moderate to advanced level theory while learning about the studio experience. The experience as a Director combined with graduate study has allowed me to be involved in the development of instruction materials, level requirements, improvement in the school’s methods of composition teaching, teacher hiring, and the evaluation of fellow instructors.

I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center. After graduation, I was asked to continue as a tutor/writing consultant for eleven more years. Working with all ages, fields of study, and levels of need, I gained valuable experience guiding others through the writing and revision process. I also enjoyed working with those for whom English is a second language. I have been a freelance book editor and writing consultant for the past several years. My skills best serve writing, reading, and language arts, but I am qualified to tutor any subject that requires proficiency in these areas. My tutoring practice employs the Socratic method to help students help themselves become better writers, self-editors, and critical thinkers.

I believe the key to good teaching is understanding the subject from the student's perspective. As a teacher, it is easy to take for granted certain assumptions and prior knowledge that a student may lack. Each student brings a unique approach and starting point to the learning experience. The teacher's job is to find that starting point and lead the student from there to a place of deeper understanding and knowledge. If a student struggles to understand something, the teacher has probably "skipped a step" somewhere, and omitted some piece of the puzzle that the student does not yet have. When that happens, the teacher should go back to a place of mutual understanding and take smaller steps, being careful to take nothing for granted. My teaching style is especially well suited to a tutoring environment. With a single student, there is all the time I need to find and empathize with

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes. Over 20 years of engineering experience, primarily, automated electronic test for manufacture of electronics. Over 2 years of Masters level engineering in bone density measurement, spectroscopy and neutron detection

Essentially my teaching style is goal oriented. I motivate students to build skills that are not only applicable short-term, but well into the future as well. These concepts are reinforced by applying skills to realistic situations and problem solving. In this way, my students will be able to leverage skills that they have acquired in myriad areas of interest to ensure their success. While holding certification in three varied subjects, I feel that my strengths lie in teaching transferability of acquired skills. Having a bachelor degree in an educational field, an MBA, and 8 years of various "real world" experience that includes both retail and project management gives me an advantage when teaching. While in college and afterwards, I built a studio of music students that placed in the top two seats in Florida All-State bands, various regional student orchestras, and All-County bands

After graduating Magna Cum Laude at Plymouth State University in 2003, I was very driven to find a career in my field. I am passionate about teaching and learning.

After five months I received a promotion to Instruction Coordinator/Assistant Director. This position includes teaching, being in charge of the instructor s and instruction floor. I am in charge of updating each students program and managing their programs and materials used on the teaching floor.

I find working with students to learn thrilling. In order for students to be life long learners they need to learn how to teach themselves. I help the student stay motivated and positive about the learning experience and the subjects they are studying. My students learn confidence in themselves and there learning style. Each student has a different learning style with positives and weaknesses. I work to improve the weaknesses and grow the positives. All students have untapped potential and I work with them to grow that potential into life skills. As an undergrad I took a wide array of classes. THis includes political science classes, biology classes, music classes, history classes and photography classes. As a teacher I have been subbing in the Warwick system teaching biology, history, english, and special education classes. I have worked one on one and in large classes. My study habits

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2005 I went on to work as a Special Education aid at the middle school level. I was responsible for a ten year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome, which required me to monitor her throughout the day as well as modify each lesson given in each subject. As math was her weakest subject, I was able to develop a a learning system which suite her learning style. I also taught her not only math but every other subject such as science, social studies, grammar, and reading. Throughout college I also worked as an elementary level tutor for those students with low reading levels Teaching and working with children has been a love of mine for quite some time now. I feel all student's have the ability to learn but at a pace and level that is comfortable to them. My teaching style reflects my experience working with developmentally delayed stud

As an educator, I have 10 years experience in public education for grades k-12. While my main focus has been in the field of Special Education as a Teacher's Assistant, I am now certified to teach English Language Arts in Massachusetts. I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Education, so that I may obtain a Reading Specialist license. I have tutored students in math, social studies, english language arts, and reading. Because I've worked with students who have various learning differences, I have a vast array of teaching strategies. What works for one child doesn't always work for another. I encourage auditory learners to always read the instructions back to me. It helps if they can explain the material as if they were teaching the subject. Visual learns tend to respond to charts, graphs, note-taking, powerpoint- anything containing shapes and color. Tactile learners have sensory needs. If

As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education.

I would enjoy working with children as for I work very well with them. I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well.

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator
