A Little Bit About Me...

I find that my interactions with children, or even young adults, always involve establishing a personal, familiar connection on which we then build a relationship of mutual growth and education. I possess a calm, patient manner in conjunction with an impassioned enthusiasm for reading and writing. I believe that reading comprehension and writing competency are two of the hardest, as well as most important, skills that kids of this impending generation need to become passionate about. My best language arts teachers always made sure that students were invested in the material, and therefore my strategy with children definitely involves engaging their interests as well so that they learn naturally.
As an English major, I have graduated with exceptionally strong skills in written and verbal communications, as well as an analytical mindset. I was in the teaching program at the Feinstein ... read more

Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading. In addition I have also had the opportunity to teach overseas in China for a summer, where my students learned English and Communication skills. All of these vast and diverse experiences add to my pedagogy and create a greater dynamic to my teaching style. Lastly during my student teaching I had the opportunity to work in an inclusion classroom where I learned how to adapt my teaching styles to the various needs of different level learners, which was an invaluable opportunity for me.
I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learn ... read more

I have a passion for education, especially surrounding English and grammar. I feel that your writing is a reflection of who you are, and how people see you. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree, as well as a Masters. I have taught Pre-School and Kindergarden age children. I also hold internal training sessions for professionals at the company I currently worked for. I have taught and trained people 2.9 - over 60 years old. I enjoy seeing that "a ha" moment in a person's eyes, knowing that you have just broken his or her confusion.
I truly believe that people learn in many ways. It is the job of the teacher to determine personal learning style. Some people learn through listening, some by doing, etc. My goal is to help the learner to understand anything is learnable. It is finding the way to gain understanding that sometimes is crucial to the understanding. A good teacher is skilled in ... read more

Throughout high school and college I showed proficiency for mathematics as well as an ability to help teach those around me. After college I became a pension analyst and have studied for several actuarial exams. In my current position one of my responsibilities is to educate new hires or colleges on systems and processes. Often times due to the nature of our work this requires a refresher math course to the trainee. The math involved ranges from basic elementary math to advanced calculus and actuarial principles. Teaching others math has always given me a great sense of satisfaction, and at this point in my career I have been contemplating going back to school to receive my teacher's certification.
Being able to help others understand math gives me such a great feeling of accomplishment. I feel like I am helping them to solve a riddle and know from personal experience the vast oppo ... read more

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 do not take a red pencil to their work and "fix it" ... read more

I truly enjoy teaching. I am very easy going and I can make subjects easy to learn. Since I have an engineering background, I have the tendency to break complex problems into smaller parts. This makes it easier for the student to follow through. All my students in the past have enjoyed learning from me and I am certain that this will not change. I truly believe that anybody can learn math and science; it is a matter of time and perception. In other words, at what angle can the student learn the subject at hand and how quickly can the instructor find the student's vantage point.
While pursuing my Engineering degree at Roger Williams University, I noticed that there were not too many students from low income families attending college. That is why I joined Bridge to Success Program on January 2001. BTS was a program, sponsored by Roger Williams University at the time, which focused i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children of all ages from infancy to high school. I love being part of a child's cognitive development and helping them through their that process. I am compassionate, patient, kind, and understanding person, which I believe us very important traits for working with children. I personally believe that every child has their own way of learning wether it through play, or a song, or step by step, or watching, which is why I have no problem teaching in different ways to help out the child.
As a school age counselor, I organized a variety of engaging activities for age appropriate learning, physical activities, and team building. I also incorporated games and activities that encouraged children to be cognitive, analytical, and mathematical thinkers. Furthermore, I have worked with a diverse of children of all ages as well as helped them with their homework. In additio ... read more

I believe in being a coach to the student rather than traditional teaching. While I will go over any new concepts in a teaching format, I prefer letting the students figure out solving any related problem by guiding and making suggestions, as necessary, to lead them through coming up with a solution. I will sometimes let students make mistakes so that they can later understand the mistake and as a result more likely to learn the material in question more thoroughly.
Transitioning from an exemplary career in Engineering and Technical Project Management to Education – Planning on teaching high school Math and Science. I have been involved in Education during my engineering career and been very interested in working on innovative teaching methods to teach Math & Science by making it more interactive and interesting from a very early age through high school. • For the last 8+ years ... read more

I enjoy helping other people learn, and I get a sense of satisfaction when they grasp new information. I have tutored students needing help with homework assignments or studying for an exam. I requested that they bring their notes and textbook so that I use them as a reference when teaching. I can either answer specific questions or walk through the material. I ask the student questions about the material to make sure they understand the information completely. If the student is having trouble I will patiently go through the materials again until they fully understand the information.
I graduated with a BA from Rhode Island College in 2005, and went back to work on a MA the following fall. I am currently finishing up my degree and should be finished with my MA this spring.

I graduated Westfield State with my teaching degree. At that time there was a freeze on hiring teachers. I substitute taught for a while and then decided to get an office job. Being a teacher is something that I have wanted to do since I was a young girl. I would really like to get back into it and I believe this opportunity would help me to do that.
I love to help young children achieve their goals. I have autistic twins so I have been exposed to ABA and other teaching methods. I believe that if you can get a child excited about what it is they need to learn and come up with a creative way to teach it, it will be a success on both ends.
