Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work extensively with children with special needs. I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extend

As a recent graduate from Salem State College, I have earned my BA degree in English, with a minor in History. Writing and reading is something I am very passionate about. I have learned different forms of writing, such as analytical, persuassive, reading responses, creative, and so on. With that experience, I have learned grammatical rules for writing that was very important to my success. I have never tutored, but I feel that with my knowledge or writing and reading can be useful to someone who is having difficulties in that area. I work very well one on one and believe I can help someone. I've always enjoyed helping someone else. There is a certain satisfaction after seeing the look on their face of appreciation. I believe that one on one assistance is very helpful for students who are struggling because sometimes they are afriad to raise questions in the classroom, in fear of

I like to take the dry facts and rules of a subject and engage the students -- primarily through Harkness Mehtod discourse -- on the relevance of the subject and text to contemporary life, whether to absorb material or simply for the learning experience of deconstruction. Having the students write accomplished papers -- essay, research or argumentative -- is always a rewarding experience for myself and my students. I began teaching high school Drama while still in college in 1982, and went on to win four state championships. I began tutoring SAT students and teaching prep classes for the Princeton Review in 1989. I have taught GED prep for Rockingham County Services. In 1992, I began tutoring special needs students and teaching summer school social studies at Portsmouth High School (1992-1997). That year, I returned to college and earned a degree in English.

I am an experienced educator who has a wide variety of experience in diverse school settings; public, private, alternative, and adult education. I am NH state certified in Social Studies (HQT) and Special Education. I also earned a masters degree in educational counseling at Southern Connecticut State U. I believe this combination of training and work experience works together in a way that I am able to work in a variety of settings and with a variety of student types. I am a holistic teacher in that I believe the student (and his/her needs) comes first and the subject comes second. I can tutor most subjects, offer behavior mentoring,and personal and college admissions counseling. Know the student first, then teach the subject! I believe most students learn most effectively when teaching is aimed at their personal learning styles, interests and abilities wherever possible. I always try

I am very comfortable working with students of all ages. I am extremely patient and easy-going with a good sense of humor. I believe in enabling students to become proficient life-long learners. I try to encourage my students to look beyond the textbook in order to achieve greater enrichment in their lives. Learning should not stop at the school doors. In order to be successful in life, students need to learn how to find and utilize resources to help them grow and mature intellectually throughout their lives. It is my ultimate goal to enable students to think critically and become successful life-long learners. Over the past several years I have helped students achieve their potential in a wide variety of educational settings. I have taught several different subjects including social studies, math, reading, and French to students ranging from kindergarten to seniors in high school. Altho

When I tutored sixth-graders in 2000, I found it to be very rewarding. The students in Lowell came from varying backgrounds with different levels of proficiency in English. I was able to help them improve their reading and writing skills, as well as their mathematical skills. I am a compassionate, patient, caring person, and I feel the students responded well to this demeanor. I strive to make a positive difference in each student's life. As a liberal arts graduate in 1981 with a BA in sociology, magna cum laude, I was driven to achieve a level of excellence in my academic career. I have always loved school, and I have done well in all areas that I have studied. In 2003, I decided to pursue an associates degree in Veterinary Technology because of my love for animals. However, after giving this field several years of my life, I decided to move on. I would like to work in a field w

My teaching style is in the classical form. I very much feel that with proper motivation and diligence a student must place the necessary effort into significant practice and application of material learned. I love working with children and have many years of experience in helping to motivate and coach students to achieve their very best. I believe that students must be guided in achieving knowledge and tutoring provides the very best because of the individual attention that can be provided to each student. Student should be encouraged with high standards of performance. My direct teaching experience has been at the elementary level in all subjects. I have a year of remedial math instruction at the high school level. After 12 years of direct teaching the remainder of my career in education has been at the administrative level. Over the years I have tutored primarily in math but in oth

I enjoy teaching and use a variety of different methods. I incorporate different activities into each lesson to reinforce what we have learned. With my younger students I also incorporated a lot of music into the class that helped them with their verb conjugations, pronouns, etc. To keep the students' attention I am always keeping them moving, whether it be with an activity or just simply writing phrases on the board. I encourage them to be speaking in French constantly throughout the class. I have been teaching at the Community College. I have students that range in age from 17 years old to 55 years old. I am enjoying teaching very much and would like to add to the teaching I do. I also taught for one year at the Tri City Christian Academy in Somersworth, NH. In that class I had students ranging in age from 11 years old to 18 years old. I have a BA in French from the Univer

I have been involved with education for seven years now. I started by working as a paraprofessional in the special education program at Oyster River High School. This job was essentially daily tutoring of students within the school setting. In addition to this valuable experience I recently recieved my Masters Degree in Secondary English Teaching from the University of New Hampshire (in fact, Graduation was two days ago). The final step in reaching that goal was my year long internship, during which I taught a freshman English class and a Journalism 1 class, as well as helping to co-teach several other classes. Although my expertise is in the realm of English, I have tutored students in Math as high as geometry, and in Physical Science and Biology, as well as History, World Cultures, and Civics. I am a very honest, laid back teacher. I ask a lot of my students, but I do not do so in an i

Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning. Whatever the case may be, a high level of patience, understanding and gentle persistence is necessary in order for the child to feel as though they are making progress and not get discouraged. I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher. My professional business background, entrepreneurial s
