A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed working with children and understanding their perceptions of the given subject matter. This often results in a personal, in-depth level of conversation normally not available to most students. It has only been about five years since I was a high school student myself, and I find that it is generally very easy for me to communicate with students on a personal level, as a friend rather than from a distance as only a hired instructor. Still, I handle tutoring lessons appropriately, am always very considerate of a parent's requests and am still certain to push a student to make sure he or she makes the grade rather than to simply entertain them for an hour or two without preparing them for their academic responsibilities.
Having had pursued a BA in English, not only did I focus on the course material within each class, but even more importantly, I managed to great ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an adjunct professor of Interior Design, I have gained much experience with teaching history of Architecture and Interiors. My knowledge of history allowed me to further the students understanding of the eras being taught. I have always been an avid reader and am experienced in tutoring my own son to read.He has learning disabilities,and the teachers didn't offer much hope of his becoming a "reader", He is, today, a lover of reading the newspaper daily and books when he has time. I have a passion for reading and would love to help others become proficient. he would be able to.
I believe that since all children learn in different ways, when you can't get in the "front door", or through normal teaching methods, you must " go around to the back door" and try something else. I think that phonics are a neglected reading tool and should be employed if the child is receptive.Learning ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With my experience working in preschools for the past few years, I have gained much knowledge in encouraging growth and development among children in many fields including reading and writing. I seek to gain my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education at the same time as I gain more experience in the field.
It is a teacher’s responsibility to target what may hinder a student’s progress and to make sure every child understands that each individual has unique talents. A teacher must explore each child’s strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them towards developing confidence in finding their talents. I believe that without encouragement and recognition of their talents, any potential for a child to find success in any given subject area may be impeded. With reassurance, development in children increases in all areas. This development brings progress among both teachers and stude ... read more

Upon my entry to college, I was unsure which direction I wanted to take my educational, as well as career, path. I had always enjoyed the rewarding experience of working with children, as well as exploring my creative abilities. After building a strong liberal arts foundation I began to study education and art more in depth. I believe creativity of the arts, as well as the use of creative problem solving and thinking skills are integral components of developing a young mind. I have worked as an elementary school art teacher, servicing 700 students, as well as head of a state mandated tutoring program focusing on 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math exams.
I believe all children have the capacity to learn. I find it is important to facilitate learning experiences which appeal to most, if not all, of the multiple intelligences. Individuals of all ages and levels have strangths and weaknes ... read more
