I love English Language Arts, You Can Too!

I believe teaching is a combination of hands on and direct instruction. Learning should be fun too.

Highly Experienced Teacher/Director looking to help students

My experience entails a well rounded experience of teaching students from preK to adult. My most important position was acting as Director of Education for Sylvan Learning, where I basically ran the learning center. I supervised teachers and all student programs, conferred with parents from the beginning to the end of their experience with Sylvan, and did so much more to develop a positive experience with all clients and teachers involved. I have taught Elementary Level, High School Level, and substitute taught in Middle School Level. I worked for a company called SmartApple, where we graded statewide standardized testing. My specialty was in marking the writing portion. I have so much more experience, and I love helping students to succeed at any age. Please contact me for further information on how my qualifications can match your needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

Writing, reading, and english have always been my passions. I don't have any formal training within the english tutoring or teaching worlds; however, I have always been a "go-to" for friends and classmates whenever they had questions or concerns about their assignments. Next fall I will be heading back to school in order to obtain my teaching credentials, and in the meantime, I thought that I would use my talents to help others.

My teaching style is fair, but firm. I am a strict believer in following directions and organization as a basis for any subject taught, and I strive to help my students understand this process as they go through their educational careers. My role is not just as educator, I am a director in my student's study skills, for it is when they understand this, that they can truly be successful. I believe in designing creative, original ways to present lessons. I am in this career because I love what I do, and I am good at it, which is apparent to my students, their parents, and my direct supervisors.
As an English educator, I firmly believe that the more experience you acquire, the more effective your teaching style becomes. Since I not only teach language arts in a middle school setting, but also accept positions which require me to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college le ... read more

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

I am a practicing attorney, who strives for high level of excellence in everything I do. I have skills in history and political science. I also have experience with public speaking. As an attorney, I also have a vast knowledge of research and writing.
I enjoy working with children. I believe each child is different in the way that they learn and you have to vary your teaching style to the child. However, my general teaching style would be to provide examples that the child could relate to in their daily life.

More About This Tutor...

At Hofstra University I gained not only the experience necessary to work with a diverse group of children and teachers, but also the understanding of how important reading, writing, comprehension, and grammatical skills are in life. I hold a Bachelors Degree in English Literature as well as Sociology. In the past 3 years I have been given the opportunity to help students to learn and grow in several different fields. I have spent time in several different schools teaching middle school subjects to advanced learners and even children ranging from ages 5-15 who suffer from learning disabilities and lack social skills. I spend my time volunteering for many educational organizations and I am very proud of my education and experience.
My main focus when teaching is to "keep it interesting". Students struggle with relating to their teachers and administrators in a classroom or school set ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience includes work as a professional tutor for Penn State University where I helped undergraduate students with English papers at all levels of development from brainstorming to final drafts. I also co-taught writing workshops on grammar and proper research for an English paper. In addition, I possess my Master of Fine Arts in Writing, and therefore have experience with conducting my own research and writing papers, which includes a critical thesis and graduate lecture. The experience gained from both researching and writing these works has helped me more easily explain construction strategies to students frustrated by their English assignments.
My time tutoring has helped me shape a tutoring strategy in which I first identify the level of help the student needs and then guide the student through collaborative efforts to the realization of his or her own innate writi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since 2000, I have tutored students of all levels in a variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a BA in communication (public relations) and specialized in political science. At that time, I was trained through 4H America Reads to teach young, multilingual students how to read. While not tutoring, I practice criminal law. My job requires me to write and speak to an array of audiences each day. I also make appearances at local schools and libraries for presentations. Contact me if you need help with any project or report, reading, writing, vocabulary, business, government and study skills.
I began tutoring K through 5th graders at an elementary school. Many of my students only spoke Spanish at home. From then, I continued tutoring elementary school students with a wide range of abilities. A few of my students were gifted, and we worked on sharpening their alre ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an ESL instructor, I understand the special needs ELLs require as they learn a new language. I have had experience with students from various backgrounds and have implemented different learning approaches for each individual student. I always aim to create lessons and learning strategies that are specific to a student's needs. I see my role as a facilitator who is there to help students learn and understand their subjects the way that best suits the student's learning style.
Currently, I am a graduate student pursuing a degree in Urban Education with a specialization in English as a Second Language. My undergraduate degree is in English. For the past two years I've been working as a substitute teacher while working on my degree. Recently, I have volunteered as a tutor for English Language Learners.

My teaching style is a combination of the Demonstrator Model and the Facilatative Model. I start with establishing a logical prototype for how to think and approach problems, then I oversee, guide and direct by showing how to do things. Once the student has a basis of understanding, (s)he is encouraged to emulate my approach. I then move into the facilitative style and focus on guiding and directing by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives and encouraging growth and development of criteria to make informed choices. The overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, iniative and responsibility.
Throughout my diverse career spanning the fields of finance, management, sales and design I have excelled at connecting with people and helping them reach their goals. I am very caring, sincere, enthusiastic, empathic and an effective c ... read more

My University experience at Georgian Court has further enhanced my abilities to teach a diverse group of learners. Teaching children has always been an innate passion of mine, and through substituting and student teaching, I have been able to use my prior knowledge to become a great teacher. I am very capable of multi tasking and implementing accommodations and modifications for all types of students. Tutoring struggling learners will be a great addition to my abilities and I am very excited to do so. My final GPA was a 3.87 and this shows my dedication to my education. Working full time all through college and maintaining good grades proves that I can manage anything.
I believe in a student centered environment, focusing on each learner as an individual. Using sensory learning and hands-on experience to execute the objectives being taught is how I prefer to teach. With group work ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is second nature for me. I knew I would be a teacher "when I grew up" in fourth grade, and never looked back. I have raised two bright, self-motivated children who attend a medical career academy. My oldest graduated from Allied Health last year and attends Boston University as a Pre-med Bio-Medical Engineering student. Teaching them foundational reading, writing, and critical thinking skills early in their lives made a tremendous impact on their future academic endeavors. Maintaining high expectations, providing positive, nurturing assistance and support, and encouraging critical thinking continues to be a mainstay in my approach to teaching.
I am a veteran teacher with twelve years of teaching experience. I have undertaken an array of professional development studies throughout my teaching careeer. Having attended numerous seminars on cognitive learning and its applicat ... read more

I would describe my style with one word, "patient." I have a creative approach, an outgoing personality, and an encouraging demeanor. I am after results; I feel that every individual person benefits from various learning techniques and "one certain way" may not work with every student. A degree in the specific subject area, another soon-to-be degree in actually teaching that subject area, and real-world experience in the writing field within notorious companies, make me the most suited instructor to guide a young person to their fullest potential.
I have not only graduated college with a BA in Communications and a specialization in journalism, I am also currently enrolled back in school to earn additional credits for my teaching certification. I will have my CE by the end of Summer 2011. I have interned/worked in NY for HUGO BOSS CO headquarters, Meredith Publishing Company (Ladies ... read more
