A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be promoted to the next grade.
My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young mind ... read more

Certified Special Education Teacher

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all students. My teaching style is based on the student's learning style and interests. I use visual, tactile and auditory instructional methods when presenting information and/or teaching skills and concepts. As we know students' learning differ in readiness for content, interests and how he/she learns,therefore it is my job to identify his/her needs. I believe all children are life long learners. I supply and deliver information in a manner in which the student comprehends and builds upon. I am a true believer in the following phrase "the more ways you teach, the more students you reach." I choose teaching as a life long career because this is how I can make a difference in children's lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am young, enthusiastic, understanding, and patient. I am passionate about teaching, and it is my foremost goal to direct students toward academic success. I think of teaching as a fine art, founded upon a set of testable objectives. Each and every student is capable of learning, but no one specific formula can guarantee that learning will actually occur. Instead, the process by which it is accomplished is unique to the individual student; personal learning style must be critically evaluated in the development of any effective tutoring plan. A dynamic relationship should also exist between teacher and student, since ideas must be exchanged, discussed, understood, remembered, and applied.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Sciences, with honors, and am currently working toward the completion of a Ph.D. in Basic Medical Sciences. My scientific training supports ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a bachelor's degree in elementary education for K-6 grades. I have experience working with every grade level andI have previous experience as a Kindergarten teacher. I taught Kindergarten for 2 and half years. I feel that my strengths are with reading, phonics and phonemic awareness and with writing. My students excelled and benchmarked their end of the year goals and were introduced to first grade materials before the end of the school year.
I believe all children can obtain their goals, but not all children have the same goals. I believe that all children can be successful, that children are individuals and learn at different paces. I am patient and I encourage students to do their best. It is important to set small achievable goals that the students can be successful in. When they begin to see that they are making progress, they become more confident in themselves ... read more

My background is in Special Education, and I have worked with students with all types of disabilities.

I focus on each child's set of strengths and mold my teaching approach to fit those strengths in order to ensure success.
As a Special Education teacher with over twenty years of experience, I have taught from preschool through the collegiate level. My specialty is working with students with learning disabilities. I particularly enjoy working with students who are having reading problems.

My lessons are student-centered and driven by mastering basic skills, in an effort to acquire the skills necessary to take on more challenging academic material. It is my belief that children are subject to many advantages in today's classroom with the integration of technology and interactive learning. However, with so many children spending excessive time watching TV, playing video games, etc., it is difficult for the classroom setting to compete. I believe that tutors can help bridge the gap in information that students may have had during the school year.

More About This Tutor...

I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there are basic skills that are necessary to be successful, such as grammar, spelling, and professionalism. My experience in formal teaching is mostly in college-level public speaking and coaching Little League, but I am a proficient and tedious writer. I am also familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and BlueBook formatting styles. As a recreational scientist, as I like to call it, I have also learned a great deal about chemistry (mostly inorganic but some organic), biology, and anatomy and physiology.
I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to r ... read more

I believe that all children have the capacity to learn. Educators need to guide them in their endeavors. All children deserve a quality education. They need to learn in an environment that is structured but engaging. Every child has a different learning style and teachers need to be able to adapt their lessons to all children. I strive to learn each child interests and learning style and incorporate these aspects into lessons. I believe the parent, student, and teacher interaction is extremely important for a child’s academic success.
