More About This Tutor...

I have been a substitute teacher in all grade levels in the Alexandria (VA) City Public Schools District for several years, and within that I have a great deal of experience with ELL and Special Ed students. I am currently a long-term sub for ELL students at the Juvenile Detention Center school, which has added value in connecting to challenged and struggling youngsters. I love engaging one on one with students, which is why tutoring is exciting!

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My focus in tutoring is on the student. I adapt myself to the learning styles of the student(s), building on their skills and talents. I recognize that some students retain information best by teaching to others what they learn immediately. So I avail them of that opportunity by encouraging them to actively be involved in making up notes, choosing homework questions and rephrasing content based on their understanding. To me, each tutoring session is about embracing my personal responsibility of helping a student take significant progressive steps toward his/her academic goals.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Marymount University. My cumulative GPA is 3.91/4.0, science and Math GPA 3.93/4.0. An Honor's student, Dean's list recipient every semester of my college years. I worked as a peer tutor, helping other college students while a student myself. Beyond that, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized tests and helped the students that I have tutored in the past and currently tutor advance in the subjects of Math (Algebra, Geometry and Basic Mathematics) Science, Social Studies and English from failing to grades that show proficiency.
I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the tec ... read more

Teaching is an incredibly rewarding experience for me. Working in a Montessori environment has provided me with a patient and child-centered approach to learning. I respect students for their differences, and encourage students to find pride in their accomplishments and progress. I believe that all children should have the opportunity to do their best and become life-long learners, and that they deserve to work with educators who respect their individual learning style and expect excellence.
I earned my BA in 2007 and I have been working in a public Montessori school since then. In addition to my current position as Technology Coordinator, I have volunteered as an Odyssey of the Mind coach and I have worked in the after school math and language tutoring program. Although this is only my fourth year working in elementary education, my prior job experience as a program director fo ... read more

As an outdoor educator and teacher I have had substantial experience in education and leadership. I find a great deal of fulfillment in teaching new skills and working with students to solve problems and achieve goals. It is my personal philosophy that, given a constructive and nurturing environment, positive role models and an emphasis on personal responsibility, every child can excel, enjoy learning and discover his/her individual strengths. I believe in educating the whole child and encouraging students to take an active role in their own education.
I am fun and creative, hard working, very patient and level-headed and highly organized. I am highly literate and very articulate. As a high school student I excelled in several Advanced Placement English and Literature classes. In college I majored in anthropology with a focus on linguistics.

I have taught college writing and literature at the University of Maryland for the last two years while completing my M.A. in English Language and Literature, and I will continue to teach writing there this fall. I also did peer tutoring in English and Philosophy when I was an undergraduate.
I believe that teaching should be as student-centered as possible. This means primarily two things. First, it means students should be as active in their education as possible. I see myself as a guide, who will teach students the skills they need to discover knowledge in the future, rather than as a provider of knowledge. Second, it means that I always take students interests, learning profiles, and abilities into account when planning lessons or tutoring sessions. More generally, I am a teacher who is extremely organized but also very creative with my lesson plans. Through making lessons inter ... read more
