My comments on tutoring Geography : For three summers, I taught geography to gifted middle school students for Johns Hopkins.

This is my fourth year tutoring middle and high school students in History and Government. I also have professional classroom teaching experience and volunteer elementary school teaching experience. My students, primarily Global History, World History and European History students, have raised their class grades, passed the Regents exam by many points and earned high scores on the AP. I specialize in both content acquisition and essay writing skills. Some students have worked with me for half a year or more, others for a month or two before cumulative exams.
Students being tutored one-on-one deserve lessons customized to their learning style. My sessions often incorporate some writing and topic discussion along with activities tailored to the student's interests, skill development needs and preferences.

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.
I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.

Structured yet creative Reading Specialist.

I received my bachelor degree in elementary education. After having my two daughters, I went to graduate school and achieved a masters degree as a Reading Specialist. I was a graduate assistant and taught in a learning center for two years while earning my masters degree. Upon graduation I was an adjunct professor at C.W. Post, taught reading at a private school, a public school and then worked full time managing the reading department In an elementary school for eighteen years. During that time I had the opportunity to teach a support before school program, summer literacy as the lead teacher, creating my curriculum and a Saturday Academy in the middle school teaching study skills and test prep.
My teaching style is very structured due to my training, however, I can be extremely creative and motivating with the most challenging students!

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a very motivated person with a great sense of humor! I have attended seminars and read many books about motivation, people skills and children learning/development. I truly have a passion for Learning and Teaching! I devote all my free time searching new and fun ways to teach my sons (ages 6 and 4) problem-solving skills, and ways to develop inquisitiveness and self-confidence in them. I truly believe teaching is a gift; many people can master a subject but very few has the abilitity to teach it. I'm blessed to be one of them! I have the ability to explain ideas and transmit knowledge easily in a highly enthusiastic and dynamic manner.
I'm a SCSU graduate with a GPA of 3.6. I recently went back to college to pursue a career in Anesthesia. I have a Bachelor Degree in Biology, an Associates Degree in Chemistry. Experience as a 7th and 8th Grades Science Teacher and also as a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am of the opinion that children should be given clues and lead on to discover answers to questions. In some areas I like them to memorize certain facts which will help them solve problems better. A combination of memorizing and deriving from basic known concepts will help a child solve any problem without having to sweat over it.
I am a Chartered Accountant and have passed the CPA exam. I have been working in the Finance sector for over 15 years. I have also had a stint in teaching while doing my certfication as a HighSchool Math teacher.I have also substitute taught for 3 years in various subject areas.

More About This Tutor...

I have cultivated strong writing and analytical skills in my college career at UConn. I took a variety of classes that requried me to articulate myself through research papers, poems, lab reports, and speeches. While at UConn I volunteered with a local congregation helping non English speaking individuals learn how to speak conversational English.
I think that relating a particular subject to a student is the best way to spark their interest and draw them in as learners. Often students do not learn the significance of what they are learning therefore they disconnect themselves from the material. I want to help students care about their education and teach them that any subject can be your best subject when you give it your all.

The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.

After finishing my masters degree at Sacred Heart in Elementary Education, I accepted a position as a special ed aide for a boy in the third grade with severe learning disabilities. The following school year I was teaching second grade in the Bridgeport Public Schools. I then spent three years teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth grade at an interdistrict magnet school in Bridgeport. At the middle school level, I taught primarily Language Arts and Math. However, I was also responsible for teaching some science and social studies. I enjoy working with students from the elementary to middle school level, and helping them to be successful, enthusiastic learners.

I strive to facilitate student-centered learning and to be accessible to my students. I love to motivate reluctant learners and share my enthusiasm for written and spoken language. I am calm, patient and kind and never offer constructive criticism without first issuing a disclaimer to remind the student that his or her growth is at the heart of my concern. As a person who has attended school for the majority of life, I value education and whole heartedly believe that all people can benefit from taking control of their education and broadening their understanding of the world.
I moved to California with nothing more than a suitcase and a desire to see new places. While I was there I was fortunate enough to work with a group of formerly incarcerated young women who were affiliated with the Center for Young Women’s Development. I created a writing workshop geared toward teaching these ... read more

Having raised 3 children with different learning styles, I feel I can help students in many different ways. Whether they learn through sight or more adapt to tactile learning, I have several years exposure in all areas. The use of different math manipulatives is essential in the learning process. Once you know how a child learns, anything is possible. Patience and understanding are 2 qualities that I have acquired working with students and raising my children.
After having volunteered for several years at different schools in town, I am extremely interested in getting back into the education field. Prior to raising a family I worked in the Norwalk Public School System as an instructional aide. I have several years exposure of working with students at all age levels and have also worked with special needs students. My background in Economics is beneficial for tutoring Math whi ... read more
