As a tutor my strength lies in supporting, motivating and encouraging students along with teaching them the importance of discipline and staying focused on studies. I have noticed that for some students the actual problem is not the subject/curriculum, they need help with time management and study skills. I try to teach students how to learn better and faster by managing their time efficiently and by organizing how they study. Hi!

I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments.

I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be just as rewarding as working with small children. Helping someone achieve a life long dream of obtaining their high school diplom

Teaching is my passion. I have worked with students from 11 to 70 years old. No two people learn in the same way, and no two people can be taught in the same way. I customize each session to fit the needs of the tutee. I am patient, friendly, easy to understand, and can help relate the subject to real life. My experience allows me to quickly see which aspects of the subject are difficult, how it can be made clearer, and the best way for each student to learn. I strive to ensure that each student I tutor leaves the session; having learned the material, having achieved their full potential, and feeling confident in the subject. I not only help each student learn, but help each student become stronger in their ability to work alone. As a teacher and tutor to Housatonic Community College students for the past four years, I have helped a variety of students in the areas of Math and Science.

From my School days I was very much interested in Math and also used to score good grades in Math, So most of the students from my class apart from my best friends used to come and get tutoring.

I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience and understanding regarding the needs of those I teach. I believe in thinking outside the box and, as a result, have found that anyone can learn a discipline if their instructor approaches the subject from many different angles. My biggest reason for teaching is a genuine love for my students and the immense pride I feel when I know I have made a difference in their learning experience. For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children.

Over the years of teaching extended more than three decades, I often share the students' feed-back with the HoD. The students loved my teaching methodology which varies depending on the average motivation level of the class. I would prefer tutoring higher secondary, undergraduate programs. As teacher we have to tap the potential of the students and guide him/her at the weak ponts and suggest 'mid-course' correction and bring him/her in-line with the rest of the class. It needs counseling in privacy and I had been doing that for over three decades. In the theory class I give a challenging problem and if any student is able to show an approach that satisfies me I encourage by presenting (not expensive) book which I can afford.

As an educator of 15 years, I consider it my responsibility to find interesting ways to enable all students to learn. No matter what the subject, there is always a way to entice a student to want to learn. The goal, from my perspective is to get students to be interested in learning. It's not just the specific subject you may be studying, but a lifelong desire to learn. I have had the privilege of working with students ranging from Elementary to College, as well as working with teachers in an administrative capacity. The goal in all situations is the same...getting people to enjoy learning! I have developed a system of learning through discovery that enables students to understand how to learn. This provides them with the opportunity to utilize these strategies no matter where life will take them. Some of these strategies may include live event learning, research based learning,
