My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : Can use montessori materials to help develop strong skills.

My teaching aspirations and love for learning have led me to this tutoring opportunity to help children reach academic success. Through completing my Masters degree in Educational Psychology I have learned how to teach a wide array of learning styles, obtain a deep understanding of childhood teaching pedagogies, and experience how to use instructional technologies. I have studied how children and adults actively learn in meaningful differentiated ways. My interest in tutoring is derived from wanting to be a part of making a difference in the education system for children. It is very important to me to see children reach their highest educational goals. As an early childhood educator for over eight years I have discovered how important it is to be creative, nurturing, and patient. I have discovered how I can help guide ethnically diverse children through teaching Montessori Education an ... read more

I will meet with you and your child in order to learn how I can accommodate your child's needs. I will develop and implement a plan that will engage your child in learning and help them improve in the academic areas they are struggling with.
I have worked with children of all ages and abilities in a variety of settings throughout high school, college and as a certified Elementary Education Teacher and Reading Specialist for the past seven years. Currently, I am on maternity leave and am looking to provide tutoring services in the areas of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. I have been a first grade teacher for 7 years so I am very interested in working with children at the lower elementary level who may be struggling with reading, writing or math skills.

Elementary Education and ESL

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 daughter is 9 years old and beginning 6th grade math and 5th grade Language Arts. My 3 year old daughter is learning to read and my 16 month old daughter is along for the ride. Therefore, I am very experienced with expectations and skills needed to master K-6th grade. Through out the years at home with my kids I have been tutoring ... 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.

As a trained educator and a freelance writer, I have served as a classroom teacher, personal tutor, group tutor and a long-term substitute teacher. While not trained in special education specifically, I have worked as a substitute teacher in many inclusion classrooms and I am also the mother of a learning disabled child. These skills have enhanced my formal training and my hands-on work experience over the years. I have worked both in the suburbs and the inner city.
I believe in individualizing each child's needs. I also like to learn about the whole child and not just the academic needs. I am also a true "think outside the box" person. If one method doesn't meet with results in success, I look for alternative way to get the child to understand. I am a whiz at analogies and visuals and when I finally see the "lightbulb" go off and the big smile appear, it is truly rewarding. One ... read more

I graduated from Saint Joseph College with a BS in biology, which allowed me to build a foundation within life sciences and mathematics. I learned critical skills that allowed me to develop excellent grammatical skills through generating numerous lab reports and research papers. I continued my education by obtaining certification in histological science, which allowed me to have hands on experience. It also landed me an internship at Pfizer. During my high school and college years I tutored many students in the subjects of mathematics, chemistry, and biology.
I love to help people in the best way I can so they can achieve their goals. I was taught by my professors that everyone learns in different ways. The difference in learning styles is where I believe that I can help students excel by providing different ways of learn, understanding, and obtaining educational information.
