Teaching is where I belong. I am passionate as well as creative about teaching young people how to think, learn, develop, and grow. My efforts and skills surpass simply the subject matter and reach to character, learning strategies, becoming successful, and understanding strengths and how to improve weakness. People say that teachers don't make much. On the contrary, I make a big difference in the lives of my students. My approach is realistic. With regards to classroom management, I simply deny the student the opportunity to be disciplined. I look for students doing something right and reward them immediately. I ask my students to get caught doing something right. I teach outside of the status quo box. If they are not learning in traditional formats, then I come to understand how EACH student learns and develop my plans and approach specifically to that student. Tha ... read more

I am a strong believer that children all learn differently. I consider myself a visual learner, but try to teach to cater all different learning styles. I believe children learn best when able to relate to the material in some way. I try my best to discover the individual child's learning style and personal interests early on and then adjust my approach accordingly. It is then that the student becomes confident in learning, which promotes success. I also believe that learning is very active on both the part of the teacher and students and that tutoring is a shared experience. My background enables me to first develop a relationship with the child, show them support, and then dive into the academics together.
I have worked with children all of my life. I earned a bachelors degree from Skidmore College in 2008 with a major in Social Work and a minor in Early Childhood Educatio ... read more

My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities.
Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success.

I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student.

I received my BS in civil engineering from a liberal arts university in Boston, MA ranked among the Top 30 universities in the nation, according to US News. My well-rounded education gave me the skills to communicate mathematical ideas and science concepts to any audience, including children. Now I am pursuing a masters degree in secondary math education in hopes of engaging and inspiring students to gain a better understanding of mathematics, and thus build their overall self-confidence. As an engineering student, I had experience empowering students by leading and working at science camps and tutoring at local elementary schools through a literacy corps.
I take a creative approach to learning and cater to each student's unique learning style. I assess their knowledge base, and I make learning fun by explaining and developing ideas in a way they prefer and in a way they best learn ... read more

Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe that students should be able to ask questions or discuss relevant experiences during lessons – this kind of dialogue makes the instruction memorable and meaningful to students. The key to one-on-one instruction is patience and understanding of the child’s needs. Little in life is as rewarding as when a child says, ‘Oh, NOW I get it’.

A diverse education at Wesleyan University has prepared me to tutor many high school subjects. I earned my BA at Wesleyan in Music but I almost double majored in Environmental Science. The high expectations of professors at Wesleyan pushed me to greatly improve my writing ability, with my music thesis earning me honors in music. Environmental sciences sharpened my science and mathematic ability. Extensive courses in music prepared me to tutor music students in any background or concentration.
I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no ex ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Personally, I am a firm believer in the constructivist, or active learning theory. I view myself as a facilitator, presenting opportunities for students to bridge material to their own lives through personal experiences and interactions. By supporting this theory, I place the responsibility on the student as the one who must take initiative in his or her own learning, as each child brings an entirely unique perspective and experience to the classroom. By acknowledging students’ diverse backgrounds as context through which students navigate in order to construct meaning, I allow for multiple viewpoints and interpretations of content. Constructivist theory also promotes active dialogue and peer collaboration as students internalize outside ideas, whether they be newly represented in a text or by an alternate perspective of a fellow classmate. Content, no matter the subject area, must beco ... read more
