Other than having a lot of patience, I don't have a very specific style of teaching. Everyone learns in a different manner, so I try to take this into account on a case by case basis. Some students learn through repetition, some through writing, others through listening. I always try to make things as fun as possible and enjoy feedback. I recently graduated from Montclair State University in 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and a concentration in management. I have experience substitute teaching a wide variety of subjects at the elementary and high school level. I also have experience working with students with special needs such as ADD/ADHD, school phobia, and other behavioral issues. As a recent graduate still trying to plan a career path I look forward to hearing and working with you!

I am a Speech and Theatre educator with a strong background in English. I have worked with young people over the past twenty years and have been privileged to see many of them benefit from the Speech, Theatre and English training they received in my programs or by tutoring.

For this, I am profoundly grateful. Committed, engaging, appropriately direct, friendly but professional, caring, insightful, compassionate, skilled, motivating.

One of my successes is sparking the interest and imaginations of students. As an educator, I have learned that managing the differences of students' abilities is key to successful learning. Showing students that there is enjoyment in a subject that may not have been of interest previously to them, is the true meaning of being an educator. In this position, I provide my students with a creative approach to learning, breaking down complicated concepts into simple, easy to learn lessons that students can understand. I modify lessons, maintaining interest among all levels of students; while incorporating behavior management. Students' needs must be addressed on an individual and varying basis. What works today, might not work tomorrow.

I have volunteered as a Nresult York City Reading Partner helping to remediate a lagging student back to age approproate reading level. I have experience working in math and science as I do for work in a healthcare lab position.

I have had some recent successful experiences tutoring in the community where I grew up (Hudson and Bergen County, NJ). Then my work in the spring with Reading Partners meant refocusing and awakening an eight year old student to her potential and how much she could enjoy reading. If you need a subject taught, if you know you're missing some basics along the line and need to fill in a few gaps, or you're ready to build yourself some more in chosen subjects, I make a fantastic g
