LESSONS SHOULD ACCOMMODATE STUDENT LEARNING STYLES

My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.
I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth.

More About This Tutor...

I have a strong math and science background. In college, I started out in chemical engineering (2 1/2 yrs.) and then switched to education. My bachelor’s degree is a dual degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. Initially, I taught first grade in a parochial school. My next job was teaching math at the high school level to students with various learning disabilities. Next, I taught individualized mathematics at a science and technology high school. I also had experience team teaching in this environment. Presently, I am a high school resource teacher for 10th grade. I have previously taught resource at the 8th and 9th grade levels as well. I also tutor students after school hours or during weekends.
Individualization is an important part of my teaching style. I think it is important to identify what the student needs to work on and present it in a way the stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an educator for 24 years. I have never thought about doing anything else because I love teaching. I've been told that I have a way with students that makes them feel comfortable and confident. I have taught everything from K thru 8th grade and I esp. love middle school. Extra curricular activities are my strong point and I have been involved in many throughout the years. My experience includes time in suburban Florida as well as inner city schools in upstate NY.
I like to use different methods to help students learn. I am a hands-on teacher who believes in having students discover their own successful learning styles. Students learn the best by doing, so, I try to let them figure things out while guiding them through instead of having them memorize rote information. Learning becomes permanent only when it is understood. I am a firm believer in Life-Long Learning.

All children are capable of learning. I believe that it is a developmental process. I also believe it is a scaffolding process in which we must build upon the skills that have been taught previously. If a student missed a skill, it is difficult to build upon it. Sometimes we must go back and re-teach that skill. Unfortunately that doesn't happen enough in our education system because there is not enough time or teachers for that to happen. But, if we can find where the student missed or misunderstood a skill and help them to achieve that skill, all the other skills we build upon then will come at a much easier rate for the student! The ultimate goal for me or any other teacher is to help the student to find success.
I have been working with learning disabled students in a resource room setting as well as in inclusive classrooms in a push-in situation for fifteen years. I am ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-time at the age of fourteen. This gave a great opportunity to pursue a wide variety of interests and still graduate slightly ahead of my peers. As a result I had almost completed the requirements for majors in several subjects, including chemistry, German, music and the subject I received my degree in, biology. In addition to taking courses in these subjects, I was able to work as a German tutor for over a year and as a teaching assistant for two sections of first semester organic chemistry.
I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familia ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

I truly enjoy inspiring people to love learning! I engage students in their studies in creative ways to connect with their interests. I get to know my learners in order to bridge any gaps that they may have experienced. I work collaboratively with parents, students and their educators to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled. I act as a coach, as well as a cheerleader for my students, and help them to experience the joy of learning!

More About This Tutor...

My extensive experience in different subjects and venues has engendered in me an adaptive teaching style. I am very comfortable teaching in both a classroom setting as well as one-to-one. I truly believe that the key to learning is proper motivation. Rather than giving answers to a student who is having difficulties, I prefer to guide students, prodding them along in the right direction with directed prompts. My goal is to have a student retain what he or she has learned from going over a particular subject rather than simply memorize and immediately discard.
I have worked the past two semesters as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. In the fall, I taught a weekly section of 14 students in Introductory Nutrition and this past semester, I instructed a lab group of 10 students in Human Anatomy and Physiology.

I have had two practicum rotations thus far. My first rotation was at C. W. Baker High School, in Baldwinsville, NY. This was a 10th grade, level one Global Studies classroom. I assisted with group activites, and helping students connect the information they were currently learning to prior knowledge. My second rotation was at Grant Middle School, in Syracuse, NY. This is a 7th grade (begining US history) classroom. During this time I taught several lessons, created and administered a pre-test, as well as work one-one with several students that had IEP's and lower literacy levels.
My teaching style is a hands-on-approach. I don't want students to just learn and memorize history; but to enjoy it and see how it relates to their own lives. I use visual, verbal, and tactical aids with each of my lessons. I also strive to include everyone culturally and literally (i.e. if they have IEP' ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Niagara University, I was hired as a 7-12 English teacher at Morrisville-Eaton Central School District. I have taught there for 34 years,until retiring in 2010. I have taught grades 7-12, working with students from all walks of life. Included in my curriculum are all aspects of grammar, vocabulary, reading, literature, poetry, plays, and essay writing, AIS classes, preparation for the SAT and ELA exams. For twelve years I taught remedial summer school, and was part of a summer enrichment program. My experience in teaching Spanish comes from tutoring students after school. I stress the importance of the use of flash cards(vocabulary words), conjugating verbs, and simple dialog.
As a seasoned teacher, I find that appealing to each of the teaching styles is essential. Individually or in combination; visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile teaching styles are n ... read more

I have earned my bachelors degree in Biotechnology. I will be finishing my masters in education May 16, 2010. I am pending a teaching certification in Chemistry and Biology which should be granted September 1, 2010. I have worked with all different age groups. Recently I worked in an environmental laboratory where I performed what is taught in the biology and chemistry classroom on a daily basis. I have had a great deal of experience working with youth in many different situations and despite my enjoyment for laboratory work I found myself excited to enter into the teaching profession.
My previous experiences provide a unique benefit in the classroom. I do not only have the science knowledge but I bring real world practicality of the material being taught. Students will relate with the realism of how science affects their daily life. During my student teaching placemen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recognize the importance of a dynamic teaching style- one that adjusts depending on both the subject matter and the student. I am very experienced with addressing procrastination and anxiety. A patient, encouraging, and directed atmosphere is a great aid in learning. Tutoring should take away the distractions of the classroom to enable the student to learn one-on-one, to solidify what is taught in school. I have the tools to help your child succeed, and would love to share in their academic successes.
As a recent graduate of the Rutgers-Newark University Honors College, I hold a B.A. in Biology and plan to continue my education in the future. As a member of the Honors College I was exposed to the most rigorous English Literature and History courses, which enabled me to hone my writing skills. In addition, I have extensive experience in the Biological Sciences. While earning ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While attending Syracuse University I tutored classmates in both philosophy and English, emphasizing writing and analytical skills while suggesting strategies for breaking down and understanding the difficult language of critical and philosophical texts. Furthermore, I helped students learn and understand effective editing both for content and grammar to improve their argumentation skills for essays and presentations. In addition to tutoring college students, I tutor my five nieces and nephews (informally) who range in age from four years old to thirteen years old. I currently hold a Dual Degree from Syracuse University having graduated Magna Cum Laude.
While I do explain procedures as thoroughly as I am able, I attempt to have students flesh out their ideas through their own process. It is my belief that the student must learn to accomplish things independently in order to ... read more
