I have taken continuing education courses throughout my thirty years of teaching. They encompass subjects ranging from social studies, science, math, reading and STEAM classes. I use a combination of both online games and Websites and hands-on manipulatives. First, I like for the student to take multiple intelligence tests and then I know how best to help the student. The information I gain from the analysis is extremely informative. It tells me where the students' strengths lie such as some students are musically inclined, some are visual learners, auditory learners, some are mathematicians and various other styles. Then, the style that they learn through the best is how I would teach the student; this is based on Gardner's Multiple Intelligence. Second, meeting the standards are essential in today's education system. The four C's of the 21st century is also necessary for students'

Socratic Method !! Starting as a part time peer tutor at the Lehigh Carbon Community College and then moving to Kaplan Premier as an SAT Math tutor, and later to full time Math teacher in Northeast Philadelphia, PA, I enjoyed working with students of all levels and ages. Every student has a potential to learn and grow at his or her own rate. I work with students at their current levels and build on what they already know in order to fill any gaps necessary for their advancement as I introduce new concepts and problems to understand and solve.

I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings. I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box.

I love teaching and working with students. My teaching style most closely aligns with the demonstrator style. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. My teaching is performed with patience, persistence, and compassion. I am very easy going. As a Lehigh University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned a BS degree in Computer Science and have worked as a software engineer and tutor. Some of my mathematical skills include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability & statics, discreet math, and differential equations.

As a college graduate and experienced professional of over ten years, I understand what it takes to succeed in an ever- changing environment.

My friends and collegues have benefited from both job placements and higher education advisement. I am attentive to peoples needs, very easy going, and have an abundance of patience.

I believe that everyone is teachable, if the student has the desire and the teacher has the commitment. I tend to be a patient teacher, with high standards. I actively question the student, which allows me to challenge the student in my presence, where I am able to guide him/her. While I have predominantly tutored college students, I have also taught adults and children. My sister-in-law is probably my biggest supporter, since she has watched me teach my nephews (now 9 and 10) an array of subjects over the years. I believe encouragement is an extremely useful tool, which when used properly can make a remarkable difference. As a Business Administration major, I have had extensive schooling in all realms of business, accounting, and finance. In my earlier years, I had extensive exposure to math of all levels, as well.

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs. I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not become overwhelming. Since the beginning of the era in which the special education population has began being mainstreamed into regular education classrooms in most schools, I have developed a great practice of differentiated instruction. I also am aware that there are people who are a specific learning style as well as the people that are a combination of any two or three learning styles. That's who I teach for. I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically w

I have found teaching to be the most fulfilling and challenging experience of my life thus far. Each classroom environment and student is dynamic and different. My experience working with students from ages 10-25 has showed me the various ways that students learn and has challenged me to become an effective communicator in any situation. I believe that it is imperative to provide multiple pathways for learning to occur allowing all students to receive the opportunity to reach their highest potential. Learning begins with the students, and it is my hope to nurture the students education and positively change their lives. As an undergraduate at Penn State, I became interested in education through positive experiences with my own teachers. At this time, I was an active high school volleyball coach, an environmental science teaching assistant, and an environmental science camp counselor

Any subject can be difficult to master. Each of us brings something different to learning. A tutor may enjoy spectacular success in the short term by applying behavior management principles. I believe that a student’s long- term interests are best served where trust and pleasure in individual differences are established. The teacher’s challenge, as I understand it, is to weave what fires the imagination of the student into the process. Building a birdhouse may, for example, be the portal to the world of geometry. When subject matter is personally meaningful, it is intrinsically interesting and learning is exciting. The inspired student develops lifelong competence.
