My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I tutored ESL students for 3 years at an academy and privately. I am currently enrolled in a class to receive a TEFL/TESOL certification.

A student cannot learn unless he is comfortable and confident. My first priority before teaching is to make sure the student is relaxed and believes he can accomplish the goal. I also like to get to know my student to know what kind of learner he is and what he likes. My teaching style is "delight directed" whenever possible.
In 2001, I received my certification in Elementary Education from CCSU. I then substitute taught for the town of West Hartford for 2 years while I got married and had my son. He had a lot of health problems so the decision was made for me to stay home with him. When it came to Kindergarten he still had many health issues so we thought it was best to keep him home and I began to Homeschool him. Homeschooling has worked well for him and his younger sisters so I have continued even though his health is far better. He is now entering 6th grade. My oldest da ... read more

I don't have much experience tutoring children. I am a freshman at Western New England University majoring in elementary educating with a focus in math. I always had a very good understanding for math and was always good working with other kid and helping them learn the subject. I was a student aid in my senior year trigonometry class and always helped students with their work. I am willing to work in other aspects of education as well.

More About This Tutor...

My primary activities during my professional career have been teaching and counseling. My experience covers clients across the lifespan: from infants in early care and education through grand- parents in post-secondary education and college courses. I have taught and tutored the basics: reading, writing, composition, comprehension, fluency, basic mathmatical functions, etc. I have also taught major required and elective courses in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
As the "Summary of Experience" paragraph describes, I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I suppose my first love is working with young learners: seeing the "aha!" spark that shines when a child first absorbs a concept or masters a skill that is new, or one which has previously proved difficult. My teaching style could be described as "eclectic", in that I draw from the many resources available to find a "l ... read more

Since young I have always had a passion for learning and my education, and throughout my college years my desire and love for teaching has grown greatly. As a firm believer in the significance of education, I have a strong motivation to be able to help every student I teach grow as a student. To accomplish this I do everything I can to find what works most effectively for each student. My approach to teaching is one in which I believe every student has their own learning style(s), which I first try to identify and then adjust my teaching strategy to meet the individual needs of every student. I always let my students know that I believe in he or she and I constantly encourage as well as rejoice every little struggle he or she overcomes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working closely with students and their families to achieve the student's goals. I know that the definition of "success" can vary greatly, and have worked with students in many different situations--students on the verge of failing a course, those trying to advance beyond their current coursework, and students preparing for college entrance exams. I often spend months or years working with each student and enjoy seeing them progress academically and gain confidence. With plenty of patience and teamwork, I believe that I can help a student to achieve his or her goals.
My educational career was full of challenges that have given me a broad basis of knowledge for tutoring. In high school, I earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. I subsequently earned a BS in Ceramic Engineering and an MBA in Operations Management. I started tutoring in high school when I ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Personally, I am a firm believer in the constructivist, or active learning theory. I view myself as a facilitator, presenting opportunities for students to bridge material to their own lives through personal experiences and interactions. By supporting this theory, I place the responsibility on the student as the one who must take initiative in his or her own learning, as each child brings an entirely unique perspective and experience to the classroom. By acknowledging students’ diverse backgrounds as context through which students navigate in order to construct meaning, I allow for multiple viewpoints and interpretations of content. Constructivist theory also promotes active dialogue and peer collaboration as students internalize outside ideas, whether they be newly represented in a text or by an alternate perspective of a fellow classmate. Content, no matter the subject area, must beco ... read more

As a new teacher, I believe all students can succeed in academics. I will incorporate hands-on activities and use connections to your child's everyday life, in order to produce independent and active learners. I will also present curriculum in an assortment of lessons and activities, in an exciting and interesting manner. Furthermore, I will provide differentiation to meet student needs in order to maximize their learning progress.I will instill the importance of learning, not just for memorization and what can be learned, but also for what they can experience. I hope that my expectation for success in their lives forever encourages my students to do their best.
As a recent graduate from the University of Hartford, I have excelled in my studies. With majors in Elementary Education, Special Education, and Rhetoric and Professional Writing, I stand with Magna Cum Laude and University ... read more
