I have been a teacher for nearly 14 years. I have enjoyed elementary school. The children like the way I teach them all their subjects that are needed. Many times I have taken students who have problems with various subjects and them have elevated themselves for a better understanding of the subject they had trouble with. Tutoring I also do in many subjects. I am called in by different agencies to help students who have difficulty with either a subject or others. GED I also teach and my students seem to do well and pass their test.

I have published a 'Brief History of the United States" and have tutored many high school and college students in government and political science. I have run for and held public office, myself. I am patient and understanding. In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for l

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I

Ever since I began working in NYC public schools seven years ago as a licensed Paraprofessional, I became passionate about teaching while continuously learning and developing my methods of instruction working with multi-culturally diverse students with various needs. After recently graduating this year with my master’s degree in dual certification for regular and special education from Touro College, I became certified to teach grades 1-6 in NYC. As a Paraprofessional, theater instructor, choreographer, and student teacher I efficiently utilized Common Core standards while also understanding the commitment and dedication of integrated co-teaching and the importance of communication with my administration. My commitment to maximizing individual student performance through assessment and differentiated learning allows my students to flourish with ideas and excitement that can be applied i

I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program. I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.

I don't have any professional teaching experience but by running a business for the past two years I feel that is good experience when it comes to dealing with the unexpected and having to always think on your toes. I deal with a variety of personality types on a daily basis and I feel this would help me transition into teaching. I am also a professional musician and have tutored a number of people in the field of electronic music production I currently hold a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Sociology. My major gpa was a 3.4 and I graduated from Rutgers College in New Brunwick which when I attended was the toughest school to get into within the Rutgers University system. I also have several years experience running an online sales business and plan to further my education in the near future since I value education highly for both personal and professional growth.

As an attorney, I also have a vast knowledge of research and writing. I enjoy working with children. I believe each child is different in the way that they learn and you have to vary your teaching style to the child. However, my general teaching style would be to provide examples that the child could relate to in their daily life.

I began tutoring K through 5th graders at an elementary school. Many of my students only spoke Spanish at home. From then, I continued tutoring elementary school students with a wide range of abilities. A few of my students were gifted, and we worked on sharpening their already existing skills. Many of my students struggled in a specific area, and we were able to incorporate general study skills into our lessons. I was able to help all of my students with book reports and other projects that were more time consuming than regular homework assignments. Throughout college and law school I refined my own studying habits. I believe I can pass my study skills onto my students and help them focus, manage their time, learn and succeed. Since 2000, I have tutored students of all levels in a variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a BA in communication (public relations)

It is important for an educator to understand this. It is crucial for a teacher to get to know their students and be able to create less

I have been a tutor for peers and for grade levels below me since I was in the 9th grade. It began as a volunteer project, and slowly developed over time into part time work through college and medical school. I have learned that I am very passionate about teaching young minds about the importance and advantages of a strong basic education. It brings me satisfaction to be able spend time with individuals who are in need of some guidance, and I am able to offer this guidance, and therefore make a difference in their educational path. I love to teach all different age groups, ranging from kindergarden to adults. My teaching style is relaxed and I believe in offering guidance through the learning process. I don't believe in forcing an individual. Instead, I like to guage each student's baseline, and proceed from there. I believe that each child has a right to a proper education.
