I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning memorable and fun for my students and I encourage critical thinking, analyses, and problem solving over rote memorization. In addition, I recognize Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and in order to ensure I reach all of the students I teach I use various vehicles of communication whether it be visually, kinesthetically, orally, and so forth. Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading.

I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center.

I also enjoyed working with those for whom English is a second language. I have been a freelance book editor and writing consultant for the past several years. My skills best serve writing, reading, and language arts, but I am qualified to tutor any subject that requires proficiency in these areas.

While earning my bachelor's degree from Brown University, I taught middle school math and upper school English for two summers at Cushing Academy. My students varied widely in terms of previous experience and motivation, and I strove to approach each at his or her level and to think of each of them as individuals, never just a member of a homogeneous classroom. Last year, I taught middle school music at the Dana Hall School; some of my students had never played an instrument or sung in a choir, while others had years of experience. From this experience I greatly improved my ability to work with middle schoolers. I also tutored adults preparing for the GRE. The math section of this test covers primarily algebra and geometry, and my experience at Cushing had prepared me to find an approach to each subject suited to the student. I believe the key to good teaching is understanding the s

My teaching philosophy and style is to make sure the student comprehends the basics of any subject before starting any further or advance work. I find that in the sciences, fundamental knowledge of the basics is very important for the further advancement of really understanding and learning higher concepts. As a student myself who has had tutors and experienced what is needed of most students to do well in exams, fundamentals always played key. I also encourage students to learn through real life application of the science knowledge and practicing problems in an exam setting. This is a tactic to lessens test taking anxiety. I have extensive experience in counseling and supervising school age children. I have tutored spanish, chemistry, and biology. As a secondary education with a concentration in biology, I have good knowledge of organic chemistry, intro chemistry, and intro biology. I a

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes.

The key to teaching Mathematics is to let the student discover the Math through leading questions and enthusiastic teaching methods. Many teachers neglect to embrace the beauty of Mathematics and how it is a unique form of art. A negative disposition, especially with Mathematics, most often times lead to failure In American society, it is socially acceptable to be poor at mathematics. This mentality is encouraged my other students, teachers, and even parents! If I worked as a part of your team, I will try my best to inspire struggling students and make them think in a way they never have before. Ever since I was a young child, my interest in Mathematics has been profound. Mathematics is much more than a class subject; I have interwoven mathematics as an integral (no pun intended) part of my life since I was a toddler. In High school I was frequently participating in Calculus competitions
