A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching really depends on the student and his/her learning style. Different students learn in different ways. I believe it is my responsibility to find which style works best for the student(s).
First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the pas ... read more

I truly enjoy working with children, and I welcome the challenge of working with students who struggle with reading. I regard reading skills as the key to success in the educational process, and I believe that given the proper encouragement, all students can achieve success in this area. I strive to be a catalyst in their success.
For the past fifteen years, I have pursued my aims in the field of higher education. Most of my teaching experience has focused on children with special needs; however while studying at St. Joseph's College, I was particularly attracted to the subject of Reading. Immediately after receiving the Master's degree, I enrolled in the Six-year program in Reading at the University of Connecticut.

As a recent graduate from Framingham State College, I have chosen to dedicate my life to helping others learn. I have chosen to teach young children because I aim to create the foundation for loving to learn in their early years to build upon in their future years. I earned a BA in Educational Psychology and a BS in Early Childhood Education with a Massachusetts Teaching License to teach grades Pre-K to 2. I am currently obtaining my Connecticut Teaching License for Nursery to 3. As an undergraduate, I volunteered as a tutor in a third grade classroom and worked as a tutor for 3 years with at-risk freshmen students who needed guidance and transition into college by tutoring all subjects. I also was a Teacher's Assistant for a Psychology course where I tutored students and taught one lesson. I am currently working as a Preschool Teacher in a Bright Horizons Center.
I believe that ed ... read more

I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run ... read more

Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and how to teach it to meet a student's specific needs and learning style.
In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor. Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three ye ... read more

I enjoy working with children and have experience tutoring children of various ages and levels of ability. I know that each child learns in a different way and I'm able to adjust my teaching style accordingly. My job duties include tutoring students in all subject areas, as well as helping to manage behaviors. I have much experience in working with students who have difficulties comprehending coursework, and often act out behaviorally during these times. I also have training in de-escalation strategies to help students learn skills to cope both educationally and emotionally.
I earned my BA in English from Rhode Island College and took extensive coursework in Computer Information Systems. Since 2001, I have been working at Bradley Hospital in East Providence. As of April 2003, I have been working in a self-contained special education classroom for students with developmental ... read more

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.
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.
