English Language Arts Teacher

I believe that real learning takes place when students are actively engaged in the material. Finding the right materials to teach with will often inspire intrinsic motivation.
I have currently spent over 350 hours in a variety of school settings. From private school to public, first grade to twelfth, I have seen it all. The majority of my experience has taken place in a suburban middle school, however I have also spent a reasonable ammount of time working with inner city high school students. I double majored in college to recieve a bachelors degree in literature and writing, and spent a full year interning at a student run newspaper as a journalist and copy editor. I have tutored middle school students with a variety of learning disabilities, as well as SAT prep for high school students. I am currently registered for a series of NYS tests to earn my certification to teach.

Certified Public Librarian

Patient and kind...I like to set specific goals but always encourage creative and imaginative ideas and ways of expression. I can be firm when needed but also like to bring a sense of humor into play, so to speak.
After six years of social work experience as a caseworker for Westchester County Department of Social Services where I worked extensively with families and children with special needs, I returned to college to receive my Master's degree in Library and Information Science. In 1978 I started my librarian career at the New York State Library, as a reference librarian specializing in the humanities, social sciences and legal research. I soon became coordinator of staff training (for a staff of over 200), both organizing and teaching classes in many subjects, and was liason with the New York State Data Center and Census Bureau.

Seek first to understand and then to be understood.

I enjoy an interactive style with students rather than relying on teaching straight from the text book or using a lecture format.
I have taught English at the secondary school level in New York City. I have also worked for publishing companies and edited books, magazine articles, and press releases. In the last decade I have worked within the State University System of New York in the grants and contracts field. I have written grants and administered grants monies for program use.

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching asks the student to do his or her best and will help them find that level in a fun and friendly manner. I am patient and understanding and believe that with a joke and a laugh, learning can truly be gained and cherished...not drudgery! We will have fun and get the job done!!
I as ordained a Priest in 2004 but have twenty years of teaching from vocal/piano to languages. I am bilingual growing up with a father from Quebec,Canada and can easily tutor in French in both dialects. I can also tutor literature and reading. I love working with young people and see that as part of my ministry. And while my faith is extremely important to me, I am not looking to convert others. I just want the opportunity to help young people of any age.

Upon graduating from Northwestern College, I felt compelled to do more than make a difference as an educator; I wanted to be the difference for students I'd work with! I have a Bachelor's degree in education, and am certified by New York State as a Teacher Assistant. I have tutored students in Social Studies and English(literature, particularly), and have given bass lessons to students, both upright and electric bass.
Teaching is, for me, both a passion and a process; passion, in that I invest myself totally into providing the learner a quality educational experience, and process, as I stress to them that learning has no shelf-life, no "use by"date.I see my role as that of an enabler, helping your child to have the greatest possible success. One thing I've told every student I've worked with is,"I won't quit on you, and I won't let you quit on yourself".I feel that accountability i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a strong believer in the fact that all students learn in different ways and at their own pace. I am very empathetic and patient with my students. I like to consider myself "firm, yet fair" when the need may arise. One of the most gratifying experiences for me is seeing my student finally "get it"; that look of accomplishment on their face after the fact is payment in and of itself.
While in pursuit of my Masters degree, I was a writing tutor at the university's Writing Center. In this position, I worked with both undergraduate and graduate students. Upon graduation, I worked for the Institute of Reading Development where I worked with students (ages ranging from 4-years to adult) to help improve comprehension, absorption, and phonetic awareness.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal is to make sure that none of the children I tutor feel inferior to anyone else in their skills. Slow learners require a few tricks along the way such as nmonic devices or other reading assistant tools. All children have the ability to do whatever they dream of, a helping hand in the right direction and some patients is all it takes. As for computer teaching, a hands on experience is the way to go. They have to see what the program is capable of to know what they are.
As a college graduate I found that my skills were better off served outside the classroom and could better be used in a one-on-one situation instead of 15 kids at once. I hold a BS in Communication with concentration on English. I have extensive experience with writing and editing as I have worked for various publications. During the past years I have tutored a number of children helping them to read. In ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in innovation and patience in education. By this I mean that there are many ways to teach a subject, and each child responds best to a specific combination of teaching styles. My goal is to find the perfect method for each child, so that every student in the class is able to understand the lessons to the best of their abilities. I know from experience that one-on-one attention and dedicated effort from an educator can make a difference in a child's performance and boost his or her confidence, and this is my fervent goal.
As a graduate of top-tier research university the University of Rochester, with a BA in English and Religion, I have extensive experience in writing and research. My writing and editing skills have been demonstrated in my time as a copy editor and contributing writer to my college newspaper, the Campus Times. During my junior year of high school, I t ... read more
