A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener.
I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a d ... read more

I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system. I have knowledge of: computer programming, software knowledge, accounting, care and maintenance of buildings, physical structures, and equipment, etc. A teacher with these accomplished skills now has the necessary ammunition to acquire ways to have children learn in a positive manner and to encourage them to do their best. I just recently started substituting again in my own local district.
Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. ... read more

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!

I believe in developing a rapport with students, treating them as equals in the learning process. I have skills and knowledge that students can access, freely providing them with the information they need to be successful. I am organized, prepared and set clear objectives in terms of what I hope to accomplish. I try to keep a sense of humor and make learning a fun activity.
I went through a rigorous program in English Composition where I received my MA. Prior to that, I had several years of teaching experience as both a high school/middle school English and Social Studies. Later I taught 4 years of College English. Then I spent a couple of more years teaching high school English, in addition to spending one year tutoring students in SAT/Regents instruction. My particular passion is helping students generate, organize, develop, revise and edit their writing.

I am presently working on a masters for elementary and special education. I have earned a bachelor degree in Sociology. I am currently teaching in the Fairview school district.

The teaching methods that I plan on using will be challenging yet stimulating. The use of technology, group exercises, oral presentations, and skits will be prevalent. Since every student has his or her own story, teaching styles will be adjusted accordingly to maximize learning potential. If a student can achieve that potential, it will be evident in his or her work and whether or not the lesson can be taught to another student. Use of portfolios will enabled students to see the progression in their learning. Aside from seeing improvements and areas of strength, I want the students to know that their work is extremely valuable and how it can apply to their own lives.

During my year earning the bachelor degree in Biochemistry, I have joined the national chemistry club which enables the students to meet other chemists throughout the United States, and also to learn more about elements in the environment. Also I have worked as a Teacher Assistant for Organic Chemistry, during my time as undergraduate students and also I have worked a Teacher Assistant in my medical school in Anatomy, neuroscience, and biochemistry. Being a TA helped enhancing my knowledge in those subjects, which I enjoy the most.
I enjoy teaching children of all grades, because I put myself in their shoes. I remembered when I was in High School I always seeking help in my weak subjects, and I still do seek help because I am still learning. It is very important to help these students so they can be encouraged, and see themselves not as a failure but as a winner who seeks help and ... read more

I am very good with children, I strive to make them understand the material the best way they know how. I can use games, visuals and many more for them to catch on. I feel that the more we help our children today the better our future will be. They are the future and we must strive to educate them by any means neccessary. Education is the key to success, and I want to be able to touch others as it was done to me growing up. There is so much potential out there in our childre; so many doctors, lawyers, scientist,etc but they just need someone to help them reach that. I am the someone to see in these children what they do not see in themselves, because it was done for me.

In all my years of teaching, I came to the realization that every child is different . When it comes to teaching, I like to learn a little about the child first. Then once I know everything I need to know, I go by what interests the child and I use that to teach them . Although sometimes it is not as simple, I do what ever it is that I have to do to ensure that the child is learning .
I've been working with children since the day I got my first job. I don't know if it is the fact that I am the oldest of 6, or if it is just in my blood to teach . My first job was at a very small day care that consisted of about 14 kids, ages 1 to 12 . I helped the older children with their homework and with the younger children, our day consisted of fun learning games . I also worked at Unlimited Tutoring for 3 years, there I helped tutor children ages 6 to 15 in Math, Reading, English, and History.

My teaching style is one of speed. I narrow in on the student's weaknesses and acquire any and all information that helps them address that.
People have told me all my life what a great teacher I would be. I have also been fortunate to have acquired a vast number of friends who are not native born Americans. As such, I have always helped them learn English. It was one of the reasons I chose to study International Relations as a Master's candidate, to learn more about the world. I have spent the last 11 years helping people from all cultures learn my native language, and it is a very rewarding experience.

Thirty-three years of teaching experience in not only the same school district, but the same school, has allowed me to finely hone my craft. My first 20 years were spent working with sixth-ninth graders in a middle school business classroom, enjoying the yearly curriculum changes in technology. My Master's focused on elementary education, and the opportunity to teach sixth grade Social Studies and Reading/Language Arts led to continued tutoring of students in all subjects. In addition, my role as Student Council advisor meshes my school/community leadership skills with those within the classroom walls.

I enjoy working with all types of students. I work with students who need a lot of extra support and direction in my current job. I have worked with younger students with basic skills help as well as older, struggling students. I try to understand each student on an individual basis and find out how they learn best. I believe in helping students by finding out their interests and trying to work that in to their education as well as creating a healthy relationship with each student I work with. I really believe in giving the student a positive educational experience by encouragement, support and a little bit of humor because so many students have had difficult and negative times in the education system.

I am a successful graduate of Susquehanna University, having earned a BA in International Studies. This study of cultural anthropology allowed me ample experience with writing, grammar, and research. I will be attending Rutgers University next year to earn a Master of Science degree in Microbiology. I am very experienced in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, and Math on all levels.

I am a firm believer that if a student is allowed and taught to think independently, they will discover their own way of learning. Each student is different in the way in which they tackle various subjects, it is important as the educator to understand that approach and encourage the student to discover learning through that approach. Some students are kinetic learners, some are visual learners while others are aural learners; it is vital that the instructor be able to teach in all of those areas. I have taught over 200+ kids each year, from those with learning disabilities to students with an alarming amount of aptitude for dance; I am flexible enough to be able to work with various types of children simultaneously. I am incredibly patience, easy going and have the drive needed to help children learn.
