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 process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined.

I have lived in South Jersey all of my life. I received my degree in Accounting from Stockton and have spent most of my career in finance working my way up to Controller for several businesses. When I was laid off, I had always wanted to try teaching and I loved it. I love working with kids (I also coach baseball and football), I really get a kick out of passing my knowledge onto them and seeing their face when it sinks in.
Math to me is like a puzzle... if you can imagine the pieces in your mind, fitting them together in practice is so much easier. I am extremely patient and easy going, even in coaching, most kids gravitated to me because I could speak to them on their level. You have to explain it in a way that kids can understand. Positive feedback is very critical to let them know they are going down the right path.

More About This Tutor...

I love to teach and help others in general. I always had difficulty when I was younger finding a tutor or some help in my studies that I could understand easily. I am a very patient and have a great sense of humor that come in handy during subjects of frustration. I believe if you can bring a child into their comfort zone and put the directions in the most simple fashion, a child can learn anything! I'd love to turn a subject they avoid into a subject to brag about...
I just graduated with a BA in Psychology and are two courses short of a minor in Spanish and Sociology. I've always been very strong in the English/Language Arts/Writing areas as well. I am currently a certified substitute teacher and also already do some elementary tutoring. Some of my previous tutoring experience include writing, some psychological statistics and some basic math/language skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have become very involved in youth development and academic success. I also am a motivational speaker for high schools and colleges. I believe that any student can achieve their dreams and goals. One bad habit that I share with people is that I am stubborn and this describes the desire to never give up. I want students not only to succeed academically, but also in life. I will do everything in my power to provide students everything that will help them reach their desires and goals. I have substitute taught theatre and history classes. I am an extremely creative person and will always offer a new way to look at a problem or situation.
As a high school student and college graduate, I have lived through the education process and hope to share that experience with students. I hold a Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in Women`s Studies. I graduated from Wilkes University which ... read more

LOUD & LIVELY! I like to make the lessons I teach interesting and involvement is key. If I can educate and entertain (a tool I use), I command participation, respect and learning. Due to my style, students, once in a while, think it's all fun and games. I am also an enforcer of rules. If you want to continue to have learn and have fun, you better act right.
As an educator, I have tutored students in mathematics and English from grades 4 through college level. I have taught songwriting in summer camps, 4th grade language arts and ESL to high school kids fresh from Korea. Also, as a Youth Advocate, part of my job description was helping my kids with school work and homework.

As a H.S. student, I was a volunteer tutor with A Better Chance program and I continued to tutor and mentor students throughout my college and professional career. I tutored students in math and english/reading. My greatest sources of satisfaction have been spending 3 summers on loan to Purdue University to teach in their Minority Science program for H.S. School students. Additionally, I feel fortunate to have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 12 years and a youth soccer club coach for 25+ years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA. Both degrees placed a heavy emphasis on mathematics, a subject I have been comfortable with my entire life. Also, my 30 year professional career allowed me to hone my oral and verbal communication skills.
I love working with and teaching children and I recognize that every child is different and each has his/her own capacity for learning. Being able ... read more

When a student is challenged with a physics problem, they feel overwhelmed because they do not understand how to approach the problem. For example, making a sandwich you first use the bread to contain the other ingredients such as the meat, vegetables and condiments. This basic understanding of ingredients on how to make a sandwich is applicable to the atom. An atom is made of protons, electrons and neutrons. This is why I have enjoyed teaching because once one can understand the way in which a student absorbs information, the teacher and or tutor needs to provide the information in that manner. I know and have demonstrated the ability to do so.
Selected to work with students in Physics lab courses, teaching concepts and techniques, answering questions, and providing help. Adeptly described physics material to students who are unfamiliar with physics, meeting students’ needs. U ... read more

As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talking about, 2) listening to the person desiring knowledge, 3) allowing that person to come to believe that there is no mystery or magic to it, 4) explaining not just the "how" but the "why" of it and finally, 5) practice-correct-practice.
As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet p ... read more

My past experiences as a studying elementary and special education teacher include multiple classroom settings in both urban and suburban school districts. My time spent in numerous classroom settings has motivated me to value teaching students in a meaningful way, where instruction is adapted to fit the needs of all individual students. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, grades 1-6, along with a Master's degree in Literacy Education, grades K-12. My most recent experience working with students includes teaching 6th - 9th grade reading and writing courses at a summer program within the Philadelphia area.

I have always enjoyed teaching and learning. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner. I like the process of discovering a person's learning style. My last 12 years of teaching has been with developmentally delayed students between ages 3-21 years old.
I ENJOY DISCOVERING EACH CHILD'S SYLE OF LEARNING. I ALSOENJOY THE CHALLENE OF DISCOVERING WHATEVER IS INTERFERRING WITH EACH CHILD'S NATURAL LEARNING PROCESS. I REGARD MYSELF AS SUCCESSFUL AT MAKING THE LARNING PROCESS FUN, IF NOT RELEVANT. I INCORPORATE LESSONS WITH ACTIVITIES THAT ARE AGE-APPROPRIATE AND OF INTEREST TO THE STUDENT.
