Students learn in a positive learning environment. Everyone is unique thus everyone has unique learning styles. I focus on the positives each student has achieved and then, together the student and I strengthen the areas that need improvements. For example, there has been a recent emphasis on time test for all math operations. Personally, I believe this is testing the student test taking skills more than their math ability. I believe this can cause test anxiety issues. As a substitute teacher, I have reviewed the results of students’ test and made custom flashcards for the few math facts they need to memorize. I put them in an envelope for them with a note to memorize one or two at a time. I suggest placing one at their placemat and the other math flashcard where brush their teeth. As an Intervention Specialist, I taught in an urban setting for five years. Presently, I enjoy being a sub

I utilize techniques and tools in the education field as well as creating materials that fit each individual child.

I really enjoy what I do each day in the classroom and I love to tutor even more! Tutoring allows me to teach more one-on-one and spend the extra time that students need to learn. I believe in pushing students, but also using positive reinforcement and enjoying the "ah-ha" moments! I set the bar high for my students but am there to assist and guide them every step of the way. I am a very caring, kind, and laid-back teacher and tutor. This is not to say that I don't have high expectations, I certainly do, but I believe that students need to be themselves when they are learning. I think that my students can see that I genuinely care about them and their academic successes, giving them the right attitude towards success! I am a certified teacher and an experienced tutor. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and have experience in tutoring students of all ages. I

Although I have a degree in Liberal Studies and Criminal Justice, I have always loved math. Several years after graduating from college, I was offered the opportunity to teach math at Glenville High School in Cleveland. I genuinely love teaching; I only left Glenville because of the cutbacks in 2004. Since that time I have continued to teach at various high schools and with the Baldwin-Wallace College Upward Bound Program. I am able to teach math, from Pre-Algebra through Calculus. I have also tutored all levels of math and continue to do so. I tutor the students in the Upward Bound Program, as well as those at the high schools I’ve taught at. Additionally, I tutor for the Ohio Graduation Test. I am currently working on my Masters in Educational Technology, as well as a teaching license in mathematics (grades 7-12).

Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject area, and identify skills that they may be lacking. Next, I develop a learning plan with specific goals. This becomes the basis for a learning contract between myself and the person seeking tutoring. Learning is best achieved in an interactive teaching style where students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in problem solving. I am a patient person who believes that all students can successfully learn. My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maximize t
