Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dorchester, NJ

In 2006, I began scoring constructed responses on the PRAXIS exam for one of the nation's leading test administrators. My specialization in scoring is for the special education test for the Education of Exceptional Students (Learning Disabilities). Having this experience in the essay components of the test (which accounts for 50% of the test score) gives me an insiders knowledge of what you can do to maximize the effectiveness of your responses. I am easygoing and friendly, and never judgemental. I will focus on what you feel is your weakest link or help you determine where your needs are. We will discuss the scoring rubric used on the constructed responses, examine examples of potential scenarios, and review responses and how they would have scored and why. I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strat

My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and high school on the French speaking island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean for one year where I taught English conversation and American Culture. After returning to the United States, I taught high school Italian and am currently teaching 7th grade French. I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student.

As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create effective learning goals. I believe this will increase a student's motivation and connection to the material. Connections, which are endless and create concrete understanding for students. I am very passionate, easy going and understanding of students. Although, I set the highest expectations because I believe the student can achieve them. Each student can succeed and they will. The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse nee

I enjoy sharing knowledge with others and believe that teaching is beyond memorizing facts. As an educator I attempt to teach students skills to become lifelong learners through fostering an appreciation of knowledge. My teaching style is adaptable to a particular student's needs, but often incorporates the strategy of relating content material to the individual's existing knowledge. As an informal educator I have experience utilizing hands on learning activities to engage my students. I believe these strategies are what allow individuals to actually gain knowledge. I have recently completed a Master of Arts in Teaching, where I concentrated on secondary biology. I have a Bachelor of Arts in biological anthropology with a minor in biology. My educational background enabled me to have a strong background in biology, but also in mathematics and all sciences including chemistry. I have

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas. As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

I firmly believe that the right combination of hard work and innate talent will help a child learn and grow. I set high expectations for my students, and I create a learning environment for each child to achieve at their own pace and in their own way. I have learned that a smile and a nudge in the right direction can create for a young learner a path towards empowerment and success. I believe that establishing and securing a firm foundation in basic skills is essential for developing higher-order knowledge. Each child will flourish with the right structures in place, and among the most important of these is the right teacher. I have a decade of experience as a teacher, tutor, and counselor/mentor in a variety of settings: First Grade through college; urban schools to rural college campuses; in-classroom instruction to private in-home tutoring.

My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This pro
