I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be just as rewarding as working with small children. Helping someone achieve a life long dream of obtaining their high school diplom ... read more

Experienced and Proactive Educator

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

Bringing fun and learning together to achieve success!

Many years of experience teaching, working, and tutoring children of all ages. Every child learns in a different way. I want to be able to find the best way and help children have fun while learning. It is important to establish what learning method works best for a child before teaching can take place. A child will be successful if they are having fun and learning in a style that they feel comfortable with.
Hands on learning, use of technology, books, group learning, creative role play of different ways to solve problems.

Lets make learning fun!

I have experience in tutoring elementary and middle school students. I found it to be very enjoyable and they did too! I do my very best to make sure your child has a good time while learning. It seems that when they are enjoying themselves they are more likely to remember what was taught. My methods of tutoring will depend on what learning style your child is most comfortable with. It is of great importance that your child builds confidence and the skills needed to move forward. I will make sure your child does not feel overwhelmed or stressed out with what I teach. By the way I teach, your child wont even realize they are being tutored! I ensure your child will improve in the subjects I tutor and have a blast while doing so! I look forward to hearing from you.

A Little Bit About Me...

During the past five years I have worked as a professional communicator. My job has been to take a very complicated weather forecast and turn it into something simple, fun, and understandable.Every week school was in session for the past three years I visited children to speak about weather, and how it affects their lives.For two years I spent my mornings and afternoons before work at the television station substitute teaching.I averaged 2-3 days a week, and worked throughout various grade levels in a city school district.
As a meteorologist visiting students I split my time up between lecture, group activities, visual experiments, and exciting weather video. I even had a section where the children helped me forecast and could stand in front of the camera and report the weather. I designed this lesson plan on purpose to hit on all the different learning needs of the students. Du ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that each student can learn, but every student learns in a different way. It is the teacher's job, therefore, to ensure that his or her teaching style accommodates the student. For students who are more visual learners, I may provide visual aids along with the rest of my material. It is important to assess a student's learning profile before teaching takes place. I also strive to create a warm, caring environment when teaching. I believe not only in providing information, but also providing support and nurturing my students.
I graduated from Fordham University with a B.A. in English and a 3.44 GPA in my major. I plan to continue my education and receive my Masters in English. I will receive New York State certification in Adolescent English (7-12) this summer and have several years of experience tutoring students from a range of age groups.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a well-rounded diversified individual with both corporate and academic environment experiences. I believe that each child is unique and learns in different ways. I value spending time with a child, forming a tutor-student bond, and the learning takes place from there. My teaching style is very interactive and supportive. I am very reliable and attentive. My strong listening skills also play a major role in my success as a tutor.
During the past 6 years, I have extensive experiences as a substitute teacher in the public school systems in both CT and FL.

A Little Bit About Me...

I loved teaching and found it very rewarding. I have been told that I have the patience of a saint. This may be due, in part, to the fact that I have a brother who suffered traumatic brain injury when we were teenagers and interact with him on a regular basis. I also enjoy the company and curiosity of children. My approach to teaching is step-by-step. I like to keep things simple and make them easy to follow. I am a gentle person and believe that if students feel comfortable, they will ask questions. My objective is to ensure that when we complete a lesson, the student has understood the material covered.

More About This Tutor...

I take great pride in helping children succeed at school. As a recent graduate of college, I know how hard school can be at times. I recognize that all children learn in different ways, and because of this, I am very flexible and patient in my teaching. I believe that all children are capable if given the right environment to work in, and as a result, I work extremely hard to create ideal learning conditions for each student.
I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bryant University where I earned two bachelor degrees in Business Management as well as History. My Business degree taught me the importance of working with others in a team environment while my History degree taught me how to research and write analytically. In my spare time at college, I tutored elementary and middle school students in mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

From my teaching experiences, I have learned that I enjoy educating, as well as learning from, students of various ages. From my courses and classroom experiences, I have learned that each student may benefit from various types of learning such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and/or a combination of learning styles. I have learned how to gain student interest and engagement through various methods of motivation, such as technology, or other student interests. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor, I believe that it is necessary to get to know each student’s academic level as well as interests in order to develop adequate lessons.
