A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in encouraging all individuals to read, write and learn in a positive way that best fits his or her specific learning needs. 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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. 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 like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way.

Although I have taught, coached and tutored aorking professionals I only have one year experience actually teaching. Since I have been unemployed (July, 2008)I have been volunteering in a bilingual second grade at Hill Central Music Academy in New Haven, CT
I understand that children (and adults) have differennt learning styles and try to tailor my approach to the specific needs of the student. The bilingual students I teach have a unique challenge in that the letters of the alphabet represent different sounds in English versus Spanish. I have a great rapport with the children and because they are receptive to my teaching style have been very successful.

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more

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

More About This Tutor...

Teaching comes second nature to me. I believe that all students can learn, but each person requires a different style of instruction in order to fully understand the subject. I provide multiple kinds of instruction while keeping a patient and easy going mentality. It is my goal to help each student not only come to understand the subject, but be able to apply it in real life settings. This type of teaching can make a difference in each of my students' lives.
As a University of Connecticut graduate, I was very driven by my passion for the sciences. I earned a BS in pathobiology with a minor in molecular and cell biology. I was a well rounded student which has afforded me skills in math, psychology, and English. I have worked as a rowing coach for many years and have the patience and drive to help you reach academic goals.
