Become a star, through dedication and desire to succeed!!

I have taught in both suburban schools at the high school level and urban schools at the elementary/middle school level. While teaching I previously have tutored students. My main experience teaching has been various science courses but I have also taught math and reading. I began my education thinking I would be an elementary school teacher but then discovered my love of science so I took additional classes while completing my Master's so I could be certified to teach science. When I began teaching I realized many special education students were not receiving the appropriate accommodations to ensure their success so I decided to specialize in Special Education as I pursue my PhD so I can offer the best education to my students and help them become successful and feel confident with their new skills.
I love interacting with my students and finding out what drives them and what ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a new teacher, I believe all students can succeed in academics. I will incorporate hands-on activities and use connections to your child's everyday life, in order to produce independent and active learners. I will also present curriculum in an assortment of lessons and activities, in an exciting and interesting manner. Furthermore, I will provide differentiation to meet student needs in order to maximize their learning progress.I will instill the importance of learning, not just for memorization and what can be learned, but also for what they can experience. I hope that my expectation for success in their lives forever encourages my students to do their best.

A Little Bit About Me...

I stress teaching fundamental principles through an interactive teaching style where students actively participate in learning and solving problems. It is important that students understand fundamental concepts. Relying solely on rote memorization of facts will not lead to success science and math. For younger students I use hands-on demonstrations and visual aids as tools to teach basic scientific principles in a fun and active environment. For more advanced students I teach how to apply fundamental principles to solve problems. I work through typical example problems with them to illustrate practical application of principles. I then ask students to solve problems themselves to develop and ensure understanding.
I have 28 years experience as a successful professional scientist as well as many years experience teaching and tutoring Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and As ... read more

It is my belief that most students that seek out the extra help of a tutor have a much greater capacity to learn than they realize. It is upon that belief that all of my tutoring is centered around. My long term goal for most students is to show them how to be self-learners so that at some point they tell me to stop coming because they don't need a tutor anymore. This is done primarily by weaving study skills and tips into the lessons. This helps the students be more efficient with their studying. I also spend a lot of time de-mystifying the subject material. This makes the material easier to understand, which in turn improves the student's self-confidence, which in turn makes the next set of material easier for the student to learn. It becomes a never-ending upward spiral that eventually leads to the student being successful on his/her own without the need to rely on constant extra help ... read more

As a Trinity College graduate, I had the chance to experience a liberal arts education which gave me the opportunity to learn about and excel in a broad range of subject areas. Moreover throughout my college years I have been able to gain extensive writing skills in all my courses. Regarding my teaching experience, I worked as a teacher assistant for a year as well as have tutored ESOL and elementary school students. With the experience I have had as well as the knowledge I have gained about education in my college courses I know I’d be capable of tutoring various subjects, levels and age groups. I have the skill to quickly learn and recall course material, gain a complete understanding of it and then teach this material successfully.

As the first member of my family to graduate college, I understand the value of hard work and a good, solid education. I want to help students achieve and build upon thier education. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in History/Secondary Education, which has not only helped me to gain an understanding of the wide ranging subject matter of social studies and history, I also have extensive grammatical skills in writing scores of research papers. I also have some basic math experience in working with students of all ages as a substitute teacher. Since graduating college, I have worked with students in small groups and in a one-on-one setting in not only Social Studies, but Math, English and Science.
Every student has something to contribute, and has a certain talent. It is all about harnessing that talent for me. I believe that every child can learn, it is simply a matter of how to he ... read more

I love working and communicating with children. Every child that I have worked with is very different, and each child presents a unique challenge for me to overcome. Allowing the child to experience and discover the new concept usually works the best. I have also found that breaking the new concept down into steps works well. Each step of the education process I try to make as fun as possible for the child. My goal for each child is that they accomplish what is possible for them. Through encouragement, hard work, and parental support, I have seen great success in my students. As a teacher, friend, and tutor, I have found that continuing my education and experience is one of the best ways to help other children.
During the past four years of my undergraduate study, I have been given many opportunities to work and explore outside of my degree in piano performance. I was able to take ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an intern at the University of Bridgeport, I have learned a lot from teaching in the New Britain and Rocky Hill Public Schools. I have earned my Master's Degree in Education and plan on completing my certification in Secondary Biology. I have learned how to incorporate the multiple Intelligences in my everyday teaching of the subject matter. Biology is my passion, and I am looking forward to encouraging and inspiring my students in the field of sciences. I can envision myself encouraging and motivating students to excel in their field of studies. Science is not the only subject taught in schools. I would like to encourage my students to appreciate the knowledge and to become life long learners. Intrinsic motivation is my goal!
I would want each student in my classroom to feel wanted and feel a sense of their identity present even when they leave the classroom. Each student sh ... read more

If provided the opportunity to succeed, students will follow.  According to the movies, "If you build it, they will come."  I am a firm believer in modeling.  I lead by example.  I am patient, easily reachable, approachable, and a firm believer in every child's success.  I realize there are many modalities of learning and finding out if a student knows which one(s) he benefits from most would be a constant theme throughout our journey together.  Sharing from mutual experiences and providing new strategies will help your student realize that this task is not as impossible as it once seemed!
I knew that I wanted to share what I was passionate about with others before I completed my undergraduate program in biology with certification cum laude.  Once I earned my bachelors of science degree, I pursued my masters program slowly having the opportunity to incorporate my love for the ocean ... read more

I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford. I have a dual certification in Special Education and Elementary Education. I have taught in both Urban and Suburban areas in grades K, 1, 2,5,6, and 7. I have also tutored children in grade 4 and peers at the college level. I have tutored all elementary subjects and at the college level I have tutored in English and World History.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school and now that I have graduated I am excited to finally live out my childhood dreams. I am very enthusiastic, patient, and creative. I feel as though all children can learn, it's just a matter of figuring out what learning style best suits them. I truly believe in the use of positive reinforcement whenever possible.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been extremely fortunate the last couple years to gain a lot of teaching experience through substituting and student teaching, as well as tutoring. I feel like my experiences have been well rounded, working with all grade levels, different subjects, and special education students. I am very patient and try to do whatever I can to help each of the students I work with.
Currently, I work at a learning center, where I tutor students at a 3:1 ratio in beginning reading, academic reading, math, and writing. I also tutor a 2nd grade dyslexic student once a week, and a 3rd and 5th grade student in math. I am very passionate about tutoring and love seeing the difference I make in each student's life.
