I believe in the incorporation of the latest technologies when teaching materials. Critical thinking is a great tool that helps to expand the understanding of concepts, and I seek to assist students not only with answering their current homework questions, but also to succeed with all areas covering the materials in which assistance is being sought. I have been commended for my ability to effectively communicate these concepts. I have experience in tutoring online and in person with various agencies. I have also taught recitation sections of Pre-Calculus and Calculus. In addition, I have experience classifying questions into common core standards. I have planned lessons, created supplementary curriculum, and led review sessions.

I am a certified (NIC) American Sign Language interpreter. I have been actively involved and working within the Deaf community for about 10 years. For the past seven years I have worked full time as a job coach at Lexington Center for the Deaf Vocational Services Center in Jackson Heights, NY. I also volunteered in their Independent Living Center for two years prior to my employment with them. In 2010 I was a private tutor for a neighborhood adolescent, teaching him basic sign language to better help him communicate with his family, as he is unable to use his voice. I have also spent time volunteering at the Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Individuals, where I received training to become a certified Supported Service Provider (SSP). Occasionally I also work with the New York Parent Network to provide interpretation for their various workshops and events. I also volunteer

I would say that all people are capable of learning and improving their abilities, knowledge, and skill. My experience has been that if a child, youth, or adult is given the space in which to learn, and introduced to material in a patient manner, in the style that works for them (be that through explanation or visual learning, etc) they will take the initiative to learn and grow at the pace and direction which works for them. People are naturally inclined to learn and grow, and my experience is that when given the opportunity and supportive role of a teacher, they will become interested in learning and continue to do so. After graduating from college with a BA, I began working for an environmental restoration and public education program. We led large volunteer groups sometime of more than 100 people, in local park and forest restoration event, and also led youth groups on 10 day restora

I am a dedicated educator eager to resume tutoring. I offer a proven track record of commended performance teaching and assisting students in grades preschool-12th, with a passion for education and a commitment to optimizing student and school success. I believe that teaching is a great challenge, and even though some types of learning are best conveyed in a traditional fashion, for most other types of learning, a non-traditional form of is more enjoyable. As a future educator, I will have a whole classroom full of individuals with different learning styles, different strengths, weaknesses, attitudes, lifestyles, and different motivations, and because of this, I will have to make sure that my students feel connected to what they are learning.

I had once been told by a very seasoned teacher that "If you can not go through the front door find an open window." She opened my eyes to creative, and interesting ways to stimulate young minds. I love helping children learn, and finding their open window. A great teacher can incorporate different styles of teaching to adapt to a child's learning ability. As a hardworking individual with excellent communication skills, I would like to explore the possibility of putting my talents and experience to help children. Currently I have a successful and satisfying career with Artwell Gallery, a nonprofit community based art gallery. However I am looking forward to embarking on a new career. I hold a BA in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University. For three years I worked in a pre-school teaching Art to students aged three to five.

My passion is teaching, it always has been. If I could describe my teaching style in one word, it would be caring. Children need to be cared for and know that they can trust you as their teacher. Once that trust is formed, they will be more apt to succeed. My experience teaching four and five year old Pre-K students has made me stop and appreciate the little things about education. At that age, they are so inquisitive about everything and I found myself wanting to teach them about everything! Upon graduating from Radford University in Virginia, I accepted a position teaching Pre-Kindergarten at Cheshire Country Day School, located in Milldale, CT. I worked at CCDS during the previous summers as an aide while I was on breaks from school. I will receive my Master's Degree in Special Education, focusing on Serious Emotional Disabilities, with a cross-endorsement (K-12) in December 20

I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and their learning styles. Each child learns in different ways and I like to focus on using a variety of methods. Some children are more visual learners, while others are auditory learners. I often like to "conference" with my students and get their feed back to know what is working for them or not and give them the effective strategies that work for them best. I strive to give them confidence in what they are doing and enjoy what they are learning. Teachers who are enthuastic, supportive, and understanding can make a world of difference to a child's educational program. I am a graduate from Albertus Magnus College and my concentration was in Child Development. Most of my education included studying the child's brain and how it develops and learns. Studying child development has become essential to my practice as a teacher in the ear
