More About This Tutor...

I have become very involved in youth development and academic success. I also am a motivational speaker for high schools and colleges. I believe that any student can achieve their dreams and goals. One bad habit that I share with people is that I am stubborn and this describes the desire to never give up. I want students not only to succeed academically, but also in life. I will do everything in my power to provide students everything that will help them reach their desires and goals. I have substitute taught theatre and history classes. I am an extremely creative person and will always offer a new way to look at a problem or situation.
As a high school student and college graduate, I have lived through the education process and hope to share that experience with students. I hold a Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in Women`s Studies. I graduated from Wilkes University which ... read more

I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in elementary and secondary education and recently completed my special education certification so that students requiring special educational accommodations can be properly recognized and taught. I have earned a BA in Education, a BS in Business Administration and two Masters Degrees.
My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. Th ... read more

The role of an instructor is provide some structure in class, but allow students enough flexibility in order to accommodate a number of different learning styles. There is usually more than one way to solve a problem, especially in rhetoric, composition and literature. My goal is to provide students with the tools necessary to effectively express themselves, and help them find their own path to success.
I have a wealth of experience both teaching and tutoring. Since 2005, I have been an adjunct instructor of writing, English composition, and journalism at Burlington County College. Earlier I spent a year in Poland and Greece respectively teaching English as a foreign language to both teenagers and adults. While earning my bachelors in English literature I was also an English and writing skills tutor at Stockton College's Writing Center. I am also a professional and award- ... read more

I have lived in South Jersey all of my life. I received my degree in Accounting from Stockton and have spent most of my career in finance working my way up to Controller for several businesses. When I was laid off, I had always wanted to try teaching and I loved it. I love working with kids (I also coach baseball and football), I really get a kick out of passing my knowledge onto them and seeing their face when it sinks in.
Math to me is like a puzzle... if you can imagine the pieces in your mind, fitting them together in practice is so much easier. I am extremely patient and easy going, even in coaching, most kids gravitated to me because I could speak to them on their level. You have to explain it in a way that kids can understand. Positive feedback is very critical to let them know they are going down the right path.

I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching.
I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell produc ... read more
