I have had several different experiences including tutoring for the GED, teaching middle school math and science, teaching pre-K, and second grade integrated special education. Most recently I have been employed as a preschool special education teacher. I feel like I have learned a lot from each of these experiences and they have led me to my future.

During this program I completed several internships to prepare me for specific Special Education as well as Literacy instruction. I completed my Bachelors degree at State University of New York at Oneonta in Childhood Education and Spanish.
Very hands-on, active teaching style that often gets animated and exaggerated to keep engagement

Certified Teacher with a variety of experiences.

My teaching style depends on the student I am working with. Teaching is about working with the student in the way that works best for them. I hold my students to high expectations that I know they are capable of reaching. I think it is important for students to identify their goals to help them determine their educational path.
I have been teaching and tutoring for many years. I have tutoring experience for students in grades 1,2,3,and 5. I have teaching experience in Special Education and Elementary Education in grades K,1,2,4, and 5. I began my career as a teacher's assistant. I taught second grade for 2 years. I currently teach 5th grade. My student teaching was completed at all grade levels with a concentration in k-2 and 4-5.

I began to work at Regions Bank in New Albany the Summer after my Senior year of high school. While still working for the bank, I attended Ole Miss for a year, then transfered to Northeast for the next year. I returned to Ole Miss to recieve my bachelors degree in Managerial Finance with an emphasis in Investments. I am now employed for a furniture company out of Tupelo, where I am an Accountant. Although I do not have much teaching experience, I am quite knowledgeable with Financials and Accounting Principals. I have turtored a few children in mathmatics, and I also helped other classmates.
Although I have little teaching experience, I love working with all ages of people. I'm sure I would have a different approach to teaching/tutoring because I have not had any education classes or experience. I would offer a more business/economical outlook on mathmatical skills. I really like t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable.
I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy demonstrating skills and processes and then as a coach/guide in helping students develop and apply these skills and knowledge. I show the students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that the students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. I encourage student participation. As we work together I’ll learn what best works for them and adjust to their personal learning styles.
Most of my work experience was gain as a teacher’s aide.I work in a self contained classroom.I worked with students in small groups or individually.I would grade and enter grades for the teacher.I took students to Physical Education by myself.I organize and prepare the learning material for the week.I taught science and computer skills portion of the classroom.Each stu ... read more

This December I will graduate with a BA in English Adolescence Education. My 3.95 GPA shows my drive for academic excellence and passion for knowledge. My writing, reading, research, and critical analysis skills have been honed through my studies. Furthermore, my experience outside my college courses have taught me the skills necessary to teaching. I have been a teacher assistant for the past two years. I worked at a school with special education students who needed much one-on-one help. I also privately tutored an incoming fifth grader in reading, writing, and spelling over the summer of 2009. Finally, I have created and taught four different units to junior high and high school English students during my student teaching experience.
I believe that students best learn by being allowed to make mistakes. Instead of providing students with answers, I give them a challenge and guide t ... read more

For writing, usually I conduct some exercises. The level of the critique and what to say depends heavily on the age of the student. For grammar, I would either find or create my own practice materials and we could go over whatever is necessary until I've decided that the student is making improvements or the student has succeeded.
Over the past year, I have tried to extend my ability to share my love and appreciation of English and literature with others. As an English/Communications major, I am very knowledgable in a variety of subjects including grammar, writing composition and reading comprehension. Last year, as President of the Writers Forum, we spent several months tutoring as part of an after school program where we helped children in Baltimore write.

I believe teaching is more than just showing how to solve a problem, but is helping the student to discover the “bigger picture”. For that reason, I ask a lot of questions to ensure that a student is not just learning by rote, but understands a topic within its larger context. In that way, he or she is learning not only how to solve a particular problem or answer a specific question, but also how to apply it to other problems in the future. I also like to make problems relevant. Students often complain that there is no reason to study something – math, for example. But I like to show that indeed, they use it all the time and that it can be fun. Learning should not only be effective, but enjoyable as well.
At my Ivy League college, we were taught not just facts, but how to learn. This invaluable skill has stood me well and put me in an excellent position to teach. I have continued ... read more

I left full time teaching 3 years ago. I was the whole math dept. I taught 6,7,8,9th grade math in a private school. I did not realize how much I would miss it. I sometimes day dream about how I would teach a certain topic a different way. I have always thought that teaching is magical. When you have been working with a child and trying to get an idea from your head to theirs, and they say with a light in their eyes "I get it" WOW, what could be more magical.
I have been a Junior High Math teacher for more than 20 years.I also have taught returning Empire State College students in Basic Math and electronics. In my last position, I created "Striving for Excellance in Math". It was a combination of daily and weekly drills and activities. I currently am working for EVI. They score all of the NYS Assessment exams. I therefore know what is required to exceed the standards required by ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned through the years as a teaching assistant and mother of four, all children learn at a different pace and different ways. I have the knowledge to tell the difference between an "hands on learner" and "an auditory learner". Some children learn by actually doing and others learn by listening. My teaching style is to first see how the student learns best. Then I accomodate lessons to the way the child learns best. I love working with children. I am patient and condsiderate. I believe all children can reach their potential given the proper learning environment that is right for them.
I have been a certified teaching assistant for 8 years for the Guilderland Central School District. I have taught in kindergarten, third, fourth and now I am in high school(9th grade). I am a mother of four children, all who have attended the Guilderland School District. I understand an ... read more
