Individualized instruction

I taught for seven years in public education. My experience spans from grades 5-8. In that time, I worked with a diverse population with varying needs. My classroom was inclusionary which required modification of instruction, and learning about a variety of learning disabilities. Many of my students were ESL, as well.
Brain based instruction focusing on individual learning styles.

A Little Bit About Me...

I hear over and over again that "I'm not a good test-taker" from students but strong test-takers are not born that way! Instead, they develop good test-taking skills and habits over time. You, too, can study and master the test-taking skills to excel on any test. I'd like to enhance your testing attitude and share with you test-taking strategies, tips, hints, and right approaches that will have you saying, "I'm a good test-taker!" And remember that you could master anything you want to master, if you wanted it bad enough and you're willing to work for it!
I'm a professional tutor with more than 4 years of experience. I offer one-on-one and group tutoring in English and Math, standardized tests - ASVAB, TOEFL, IELTS, and more! I have Masters of Laws degree, MA in Translation and Interpretation and M.S. in Medical Sciences Program. I'm a patient, reliable and supportive teache ... read more

I have taught reading during a four year period, both junior high and high school levels. Most of this was classroom rather than individual instruction. The training I received during my graduate studies for my Masters degree consisted of analysis of the English language in terms of reading skills as well as methods for teaching such to individuals or small groups.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I use a variety of strategies to help students achieve maximum comprehension.

I have been a special needs teacher (k-8 moderate disabilities) for seven years, and an Orton-Gillingham instructor for eight years. Prior to my certifications I worked as a volunteer in Boston, Weymouth, and Quincy schools. I earned a Bachelor's in Literature and history in 1993, and am confident about my ability to work with all types of students in all areas of academics. I am a teacher in a substantially separate classroom for children with emotional disabilities. I also work with autistic children each summer in a social skills program. I have co-taught in the general education classroom over the years, and consider myself experienced and well-schooled in all facets of special and general education. I have also tutored children with reading disabilities over the years with great success (no magic elixir, just hard work on the part of the students and my Orton-Gillingham practices). ... read more

Compassionate Tutor with Legal Experience and Much More!

I am a graduate of Harvard Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. I have a diverse set of personal and professional experiences that make me a compassionate yet firm teacher. I have taught French to children and Legislation to law students at Northeastern University School of Law. Practicing as a corporate lawyer, family counselor and non-profit/in-house lawyer gives me a broad platform from which to tutor. Plus, I am more than a lawyer, I have a passion for all things food, and have recently rekindled my love for the stage as an actor. I am most proud of being a mother to a mostly well-adjusted fifteen-year-old daughter. We live in Somerville with three adopted animals, two cats and one dog.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I have passed the M.T.E.L for Reading and Writing Comprehension.

I graduated from Fitchburg State University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science in English and Professional Writing. I went on to become a staff writer for the Lowell Sun, a daily print publication in Lowell, Massachusetts. When I was laid off due to budget cuts, I wrote freelance for several entertainment and political publications. I also worked for an independent publishing company as a manuscript reviewer for a year. After deciding to move into education, I passed the Reading, Writing, and English Secondary Education M.T.E.Ls and received my Preliminary Teaching License. I have now completed my S.E.I certification course and have been working as a writing coach in Boston while finishing my Masters.I have also been writing and publishing works of fiction for the last three years.
I believe in identifying where a student lies on the subject he/she is studying before going furthe ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I use a variety of materials selected to my students individual level.

I have over ten years experience teaching ESOL. I help my students to overcome their fear of speaking English through encouraging classes and a range of teaching methods. One of my students said, "I was afraid to speak with people...in the end I lost that fear. I felt comfortable in your lessons. Thank you, thank you, thank!" My students have fun and work hard. My students improve their pronunciation, grammar usage, and fluency.
