Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mountainhome, PA

My very first year of teaching was at the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School, and I also taught for two years at Northern Lehigh High School. Currently, I am resigned and staying home, but looking to work part time. I have experience teaching grades 7-12 and working with all types of students. The classes I've taught range from Honors English to a class which targeted students struggling to gain proficiency in English related PSSA skills. Every student is unique and benefits from an individualized instruction. My style is business casual; I am firm yet warm and encouraging with students.

I am a graduate of Rider University, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Integrated Sciences and Mathematics, and a certification to teach Middle School Math. While student teaching I made numerous positive contributions at Columbus Elementary School in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as through my other previous practicum experiences. I have obtained my Morris County Substitute Certificate to teach all subjects and grades. While substitute teaching for Morris Hills Regional School District and Denville Township I followed the full-time teacher’s lesson plans. I currently work as a personal aide with a student with multiple disabilities at Regional Day School at Morris. The knowledge I gained from my education courses at Rider, the field assistance and student teaching experiences in the classroom, and the support by my mentors throughout my college career have pro

As a student of history in both undergraduate and graduate school I have been trained to read actively, think critically, and write creatively. I also have experience working as a Youth Advocate and Direct Service Professional. Additionally, I volunteered my time as a teaching assistant for two college level courses, Civilizations and Cultures of Southern Africa and African American Culture. In the past I have engaged students with music, film clips and leading questions to put a new perspective on required reading.

I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten. Holding active NYS certifications in both English and Literacy has had a tremendous impact on the way I teach. I find myself much better able to engage struggling students. Quite often, particularly when it comes to reading, it is the lack of basic comprehension skills that prevent students from being able to fully engage with a text and to perform critical thinking tasks. My experience in diagnosing and instructing students at various stages and abilities of literacy acquisition has helped me garner a talent for overcoming this challenge, and propelling students into higher order thinking. As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will s

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I

I have worked with children all over the world. My goal in life is help young people develop their own ability to think creatively and use the magnificent analytical skills they have to improve their lives and their perspective of people outside their own cultures and realm of understanding.

I began my college career at Columbia University, N.Y. where I matriculated in the top 5% of entrants. I moved to Africa where I lived and returned 10 years later. I joined the United Nations where I worked at headquarters New York and later as a field officer in the Middle East and South Africa. Part of my assignment during my stay in the Middle East was to teach the local staff English. As a member of the diplomatic corps to Namibia, Southwest Africa, my task was to draft the preliminary paper to be presented at the General Assembly in respect of the independence of that country. I returned to the U.S. and worked as executive assistant to Bradford Morse, the Administrator of the United Nations Development program. I moved to Australia thereafter and worked as the Assistant Cultural Affairs Office, U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia (the nation's capital). During this period I co

I love teaching and working with children and young adults. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to learn, but it’s just a matter of which way works best for them. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide a strong commitment to enhancing and supporting the education of a child. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. My style of tutoring involves the delivery of a one on one service focused on learning and skills development. As a graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Crime, Law, & Justice, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, English, histor

My teaching style has two main tenets. First, I believe that students should be the focus of instruction. I facilitate learning best when I discover how students process information, for I am able to present information in uniquely meaningful ways. Therefore, I encourage discussions and ask questions regularly, and change teaching strategies promptly as needed. Second, I believe that students learn best from actively engaging the material. When students comprehend and utilize new information according to their own perspectives (versus memorizing), they increase the likelihood that the information will become permanent knowledge. Therefore, I alternate between presenting information and providing time for students to create examples. I am very passionate and knowledgeable about the field of English. In my opinion, writing well and reading critically comprise the foundation of educa

I have a passion for teaching people things that I love to do. I love to write, to analyze literature, and to solve problems. I bring energy and patience to the learning experience, and I am able to explain concepts in more than one way. All people, children and adults, learn in unique ways. The best thing I can do for people that I tutor will be to help them understand the ways that they learn. When people understand themselves better, they can learn more efficiently in the future without the help of a tutor! My goal is for all the people I teach to learn on their own and to one day be able to teach others. I completed my bachelor degree in English in three and a half years at Bucknell University, and this has trained me in writing, literary analysis, and oral communication. While at Bucknell, I spent four months tutoring children at a local elementary school in grades 3-5 in math, sci

My teaching methods include brainstorming, thought organization, use of the thesaurus, and use of adverb and adjective clauses to overcome writer’s block. These are in part “taught” but also developed by recognition and support of inborn talents. Operative use of vocabulary is also imperative to the development of both writing and speaking skills. Practice is as much a key to success as it is in sports, music, or in any discipline. Research is an important tool in the process of effective writing as well as speaking. Research skills are best taught by demonstration. Didactic methods are dry and uninspiring. It is best to teach research skills by actually working with the student. For more than twenty years I have had experience in report writing, creative writing, speech writing, resumes, and projects. My expertise lies not only in the proficient use of the English language bu

I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who have problems focusing. In my time at the University of Pittsburgh I've learned different methods of tutoring peers. However, I do maintain one principle: positivity. No particular student will feel like they made any progress if they do not receive encouragement for their progress. When a student feels like they can observe their own progress, they feel better about themselves. My goal is to explain, encourage, and focus the student until they master the material. I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual-major in English Writing and History. These two branches of academia shaped and built my ability to write concise, intellectual, pi

I take great pleasure in teaching and working with children. I have a clear dedication and passion for learning and I hope to inspire that in others. I know that all students can learn and I take great care and pride in working with students to reach their full potential. I am also a firm believer in multiple intelligences and I work with students to help them identify and discover their own unique way of learning and maximizing their potential. I strive to use the skills and experiences I have acquired to provide a rigorous, dynamic education experience for all students. I am currently the Sixth Grade History Teacher at Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School. My responsibilities at WCCS include developing rigorous objectives for the Sixth Grade History curriculum. Moreover, I serve as a Special Education Guided Reading Instructor for eight, Sixth grade students. I have experience workin
