As a non-traditional student I gave a good deal of thought as to what career to go into. I love working with students and enjoy providing an environment that is customized based on the student's individual learning style. I believe all students have a desire to succeed, but frequently struggling students have lost touch with that part of themselves. I would like to offer students an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. I have personally witnessed students transformed when they found a personal connection with the materials they are studying. I graduated with honors with my AA from ACCC and maintained a 3.4 at Stockton College. While in school as a non-trad. student I have been a full time sub. teacher at Mainland Regional and Ocean City High Schools subbing for 9 years.I have worked with students of all ability levels from the special needs to gifted students.

I love teaching and helping students to reach their fullest potential. Since each student learns differently, I believe the most successful education involves discovering each student's learning style and strengths to best enhance them as well as identifying weaknesses to develop strategies to develop them. I am patient, dedicated and considerate. I believe that each student can succeed if given the right direction and motivation and that educators can make a huge difference in their education. My goal is to see each student reach their fullest potential and to unlock their strengths more fully. As a student and teacher, I have been driven to excel personally and to help my students achieve excellence as well. I have earned a Master's Degree, two bachelor degrees and two certifications, MEd in Spanish and BA in English and Spanish as well as K-12 certification in Spanish and ESOL.

I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators. I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studyi

My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and high school on the French speaking island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean for one year where I taught English conversation and American Culture. After returning to the United States, I taught high school Italian and am currently teaching 7th grade French. I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student. For me, it means recognizing the unique abilities and personalit

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am patient, assertive, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible for each child. I am a firm believer in teaching at a slow yet steady pace and in providing a visual approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential. A few good educators have made in difference in my educational background and I look to do the same. As a Richard Stockton College of NJ graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelors degree, BA in Business Management, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of mathematics. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last eight

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. This pro

As a 3rd year medical student, I have over 3 years of experience of tutoring elementary to graduate level students in various academic subjects. I graduated with Honors with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Health with a focus in pre-medical studies in 2006. I received my Master's in Biomedical science from UMDNJ-GSBS in 2008, where I focused my study in physical and chemistry sciences. I began medical school in 2008. During this time, I spent some of my time tutoring elementary school students in Camden, NJ. During the the summer of 2009, I worked as a summer school teacher/counselor at the William E Doar Public Charter school in Washington, DC. I worked with grades 1-6 in various academic subjects. I love teaching. I completed some teaching courses during my years at Rutgers University. I am a very hardworking, passionate, friendly, and patient young woman. I believe that educati

My teaching style is questions followed by a lively discussion. Students enjoy talking about things which are important to them. If the discussion appears to be headed off track, it is my responsible to get the discussion back on track. I have 30 plus years of experience in the area of education. My greatest achievement is the ability to motivate students. This I learned through advising and teaching non-tradictional students. My listening skills and patience have been tested and both my students and I have benefited and matured.

I received my BA in Business Administration, with a concentration in Marketing, from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. This led to a career in retail; 20 plus years in retail sales planning and inventory management. I am currently the owner and manager of a small retail business in downtown Rehoboth Beach. My tutoring experience was gained through a church sponsored program to help adults prepare for their GED. I tutored for the math section of the GED. I believe that all children can and want to learn when given the right opportunity. Sometimes a student needs a one-on-one approach to be able to reach their potential. The first and foremost thing that I stress to all new students is that you can never ask enough questions if you do not understand something. The only way you will learn and understand something is to ask questions. This leads to the most important quali

I am a retired teacher with 38 years of experience in education. I have taught levels Kindergarten through 8th grades. I also have taught adult GED classes and ESL. My years of experience in Literacy, Reading, Language Arts, Writing,Math, and almost all academic areas, have prepared me to help young people as well as adults. I believe my credentials and experience in education are very beneficial to anyone needing instruction. Teaching Basic Skills was also part of my background. Individualizing instruction has been the most important part of my teaching experience. Each indiviual has a specific learning style and I gear my lessons to that particular learning style. It is also important for a teacher to be flexible, democratic, and understanding. This is my philosophy of education and has been for many years.

I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas. As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

I believe that one of the keys to my success in teaching has been the effort I have put forth in studying and understanding the backgrounds and motivation of my adult students. For example, students who are learning to get a job learn differently than students who want to be able to communicate in English with their children and understanding the difference allows me to teach them in such ways that hold and keep their interest. Nothing can replace the eagerness of a student. After receiving a BA in English and working as a writer/editor/proofreader, I wanted to more full use my linguistics training. I received certification in tutoring ESL and also students studying for their GED. I subsequently did both. The experience enabled me to teach ESL in various environments and more formally.

I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but also spent considerable time taking math and science courses. My writing skills also significantly developed during this time, and particularly came to full fruition during my graduate work in Art History. For both my BA and MA degrees, I had to produce unique, independently researched theses that were at least 12,000 words in length. Since then, I have delved into the sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where I completed all necessary pre-medical coursework. I have also been working with special needs children in Philadelphia public
