A Little Bit About Me...

I have several years experience working with students in schools in Massachusetts, Washington D.C. and Connecticut. My experience has included assisting high school students with reading difficulties in a classroom setting, individual tutoring, and classroom teaching at the elementary level. I am currently pursuing my Masters in School Counseling from Saint Joseph College.
I believe that students learn best through active engagement. I encourage students to ask questions, make connections and explore new ideas.

More About This Tutor...

I am a life-long learner, having earned my BA after enjoying two successful careers. I was a reporter for 10 years, then went to the corporate world. When I was downsized five years ago I ventured into other areas including teaching.
I like to teach with a light touch. As a parent I have nurtured teenagers through challenging times. My experience has taught me that most kids only want to study those subjects that interest them. Unfortunately, they have to study even their least favorite subjects. I have found that once they start to do better in a given subject, their interest in it increases and the grades improve soon afterward. Learning can be fun, but getting good grades is even more so.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is primarily geared toward errorless teaching, and giving the student many opportunities to respond. It is very important that the student practice sufficiently without making errors, supported by prompts that are faded as material is learned. I meet the learner at his current level, and then progress in small increments, testing frequently for mastery. In this way, it becomes very apparent what skills need the most attention, and frustration is avoided. I love helping students see that they can be successful learners. I strive to provide an atmosphere that is positive, interesting, and fun.
In college, I double-majored in math and economics, and my SAT scores were 700 math/ 700 verbal. My GRE verbal score was 760. I have eight years of professional experience working with regular education and special educational students from preschool through the upper ele ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students at the elementary and high school levels who came from diverse backgrounds and skill levels. I have extensive experience working with students to improve their reading, writing and test taking skills. Additionally I am able to assist students in research for various areas of study. I am currently working on my Masters in School Counseling so I have a great deal of current experience doing research, writing essays and helping students figure out how to achieve their goals.
I enjoy the challenge of teaching to each individual student's unique learning style. I try to assess the student's needs and interests before developing a customized learning plan. I believe learning is more meaningful when it is active and student-directed. I enjoy finding new and creative ways to teach material and greatly appreciate student feedback.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching Style- That is an interesting question- since there are so many schools with so many different teaching methods I would like to see how the student was shown the particular method for "attack". It would also be helpful to compare that to the textbook directions; from there I will be able to develop a plan based on the topic and the individual student. I have had to recreate lessons for my son for years in order to develop a style that he understands. The student may have an idea for creatively learning this topic- I am always open to suggestions.
It wasn't until I completed my B.S. degree and had a child of my own to fully understand the importance of an education. My son was diagnosed with Autism, this diagnosis woke in me a new desire to learn. I went on to complete my Masters Degree while working on my son's social, language and educational development.

The most important characteristic in helping a child learn is to not only demonstrate a profound knowledge of material, but channel one's charisma into helping motivate the learner. Making it interesting, teaching in several different planes, and understanding how the student learns, are several core components of my teaching strategies. Also nearly unlimited patience should be stressed. I am a firm believer in Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory and that presentation of material suited to the strengths of the learner will succeed.

I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.
I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies.

To teach is to tie refinement of respect, unity of thoughts, sentimental attachment and truth by trusting each and every approach for coaching and highlighting the innovative ideas and inventions of students by your own creative and thought-provoking guidelines. I feel that students should be involved with their positive learning environment. In the classroom itself, the teacher needs to make the best utilization of the time allowed and must transmit the lesson to the students in the most palatable way. I want to teach and train the students. I would like to built in them the character which enables them to run the country progressively.
