Structured yet creative Reading Specialist.

My teaching style is very structured due to my training, however, I can be extremely creative and motivating with the most challenging students!
I received my bachelor degree in elementary education. After having my two daughters, I went to graduate school and achieved a masters degree as a Reading Specialist. I was a graduate assistant and taught in a learning center for two years while earning my masters degree. Upon graduation I was an adjunct professor at C.W. Post, taught reading at a private school, a public school and then worked full time managing the reading department In an elementary school for eighteen years. During that time I had the opportunity to teach a support before school program, summer literacy as the lead teacher, creating my curriculum and a Saturday Academy in the middle school teaching study skills and test prep.

My most recent experience is with Three Village Central School District, with whom I have been employed for the last eight years. I teach reading to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. I have much more than classroom experience including working the travel camp for four summers and participating in the school performance. I have vast experience working with the special education population and students with reading disabilities. I have been trained in a multisensory approach to teach reading using the Barbara Wilson and Orton Gillingham methods.
My goal as an educator has always been to meet the individual needs of my students and help them to reach his/her personal goals.

I strive to have my students reach their full potentials and g ... read more

I enjoy teaching and once I am invovled with a student I dedicate myself to learning which, teaching, studying and learning strategies are best for each individual student.

I began tutoring Math and Spanish when I was sixteen. After seeing how I could help students ccelerate in Mathematics, it was the key to me staying in the teaching field. I began teaching at a Middle School right out of graduation and have loved it ever since. In college, I took a course which studied the programs of Microsoft Office and networking. I incorporate Microsoft Excel and Word programs into my Middle School Math curriculum every year to teach my students appropriate data display and how to write papers about Math. I won Rookie Teacher of the Year from the Lutheran School Association and have continued to challenge my teaching style.
I strongly belive in Differentiated Instruction. Every student, no matter what age, has their own learning style. Working toward learning what style (auditory, visual or by using manipulatives such as cards, tiles, etc.) works best for them i ... read more

My experience as a teacher has primarily been with students who are struggling with either some form of learning or social/emotional disability. Most of these students have been a challenge, a joy, and a reward to have taught. I have found that most students want to learn and to succeed in school. But those who do not or cannot, usually have had a history of failure and frustration. It has become my personal mission to find the right words, the right attitude, or the right starting point so that my students may begin to experience success, and a desire to continue learning.
I am a highly dedicated and enthusiastic educator who believes that all children can learn. It is up to the teacher to assess and implement the best method, or variety of methods of instruction for each student. In order to successfully cultivate the motivation to learn or succeed, the teacher must develop a pe ... read more

I prefer a more Socratic approach, whereby I question a student on "why" they are doing something rather than just repeating what they've been told or working from rote memory. I help students learn how to question themselves and work through processes so that when I am not there, they can effectively lead themselves. I am patient and dedicated. I love helping students succeed.
I have been a certified teacher since 2007. I have experience with students with disabilities, which helps me to target problem areas for every type of student, not just those with on-paper disabilities. I tutor students at the high school level for math and English studies. I do my homework for each student, helping to assess where they miscue and how I can intervene. I make things more simple and make students' scores increase.

My style of teaching is flexible. I believe in taking my cues from the educational, as well as, the behvioral learning style and needs of the children I am working with. I try to make learning engaging and fun . Breaking a challenging task down to its simplest form for easy learning is my specialty.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been instrumental in helping children feel they can achieve whatever they put their mind to. I have been involved in education and special education fields for over 20 years as both a teacher and tutor and as an evaluator for Committee on Speciall Education. I am a strong advocate for the rights of students. My experience covers grades pre-k through 8th grades.
