Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training.

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

I have enjoyed teaching children of all ages. I find it not only rewarding for me, but for the students who find success in my teaching expertise. Being a Special Education teacher, I have used a multi-sensory approach to learning. Children need to access all modalities (visual, auditory, sensory, tactile), because students have different learning styles in achieving goals and success in the learning process. All children can learn with the right teaching approach, skills, and materials necessary for their learning style in achieving academic success. I am available every day morning, afternoon, and evenings. I am a teacher with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education (K-8), Masters Degree in Education and a Moderate Special Needs Certification(K-8).

I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with two bachelor's degrees. One degree is in Spanish and I consider myself completely fluent, especially having spent a semester in Costa Rica. During this time I volunteered at a school teaching students ages 5 through 18 English at different levels. My other degree is in Social Thought and Political Economy which required a lot of writing, generally 15 to 25 page papers per class. It is a major dedicated to social change and I learned subjects in all areas including History, Current Affairs, Politics and Political Science. I have been a gymnastics instructor for about eight years which has helped in shaping my teaching style. I love to push children in a supportive manner so that they can believe in themselves and truly get the most of their education. On top of teaching for the semester in Costa Rica, I also worked fo

I am always open to learning new styles, and often take part in researching new practices. Most of my teaching, however, is based on the direct teaching model. I like to start each class with an anticipatory set, challenging students to use their critical thinking skills. Then the skill set or information set is modeled by me, practiced with guidance by the students, and finally, the students are given an independent practice exercise. Each lesson is built upon the successful incorporation of the prior skill set taught. During the last ten years, I have taught students in the areas of study skills, test preparation, US history, language arts and ESL/ELL students learning English. I have written curriculum and supervised special education teachers working with dyslexic students. I earned my first master's degree in education, and am part way through my post-master's degree in special

I specialize in Special Education and am a Learning Specialist and educational advocate. I have a passion for student's who have unique learning styles, and need to learn "how they learn" in order to advocate for themselves in the learning environment. I review their records, speak with the student/parents, to ascertain a full understanding of their learning process. I help students learn in a way that they will utilize their entire lives. I specialize in differentiated instruction, and accommodations and strategies. I work with student's who may have developed behavioral, emotional, and unique challenges. I work with children have have ADHD, NVLD, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, LD, and executive functioning disorders. I relate well to student's,, and that younger people feel safe to learn with me.

My teaching style is based on the belief that children perform well academically when given an opportunity to learn in their own unique way. In particular, I have worked with students with receptive-language difficulties, ADHD, and oppositional behavior. In my teaching, I have tried to implement techniques that involve repetition, visual cues, and creativity to enhance students' academic performance. I believe each student has the potential to advance when given the appropriate tools. For example, I try to use lively stories and cue cards to enhance phonemic awareness of the long and short vowel sounds and consonant sounds as well as basic sight words. I now work as a Special Education Teacher in New Hampshire. I teach English for freshman students at the high school level. Since my graduation from Simmons College, Boston, MA in 1988, I have worked extensively in the publi

My teaching style is both relaxed and focused. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my students and also am aware that I learn from them. I believe that goals are important in lesson planning and children benefit from structure as long as it isn’t rigid. At times it’s important to respond to the direct concerns and/or questions a student may have even if they are not part of the planned lesson. If I’m doing my job well, when a student leaves me, they are happy and feel they have progressed toward becoming more skillful in language, especially reading. I have over 15 years experience as a classroom teacher in English and a decade of most recent experience as an Orton Gillingham Reading Tutor/Interventionist and general academic tutor (including Writing) from Elementary through Adult. I specialize in helping the struggling reader learn “the code” of English so the barriers to reading ca
