Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Philadelphia, PA

I believe that all children learn differently, so an effective teacher must adapt the message to reach all students In a class. In my classroom I teach using lessons that incorporate VATK (visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic)methods to teach the way my diverse students learn. For reading and mathematics test preparation, the methods used at my school have 100% of our students scoring proficient or above grade level on PSSA tests. Lessons should be organized, interesting, and should include a clear goal, and plan for achieving the goal. I also believe that students can achieve more when parents and teachers communicate regularly and when informed learned is reinforced at home on a regular basis. I received a Bachelor's degree from West Chester University in 2004, then continued my education at Delaware Valley College where I completed a teaching certification program. Along with

Tutors and Educators can provide the tools for success; its the student who actually makes the achievement and/or goal - whether pursuing college, a career, or avocation. Being creative and pragmatic in one's education and tutoring can provide more enrichment than the textbooks and classroom materials. As an Information Technology Professional, my Math has continued to grow in my vocation. I began Tutoring at Back-to-Basics Learning Dynamics in 2003; courses ranged from College Level Probability & Statistics, High School Algebra and Pre-Calculus, Science, Psychology, to English and World Cultures. In 2007 I started at Academic Connections Tutoring of Delaware, where I the started tutoring and educating Pre-Calculus, Algebra I and II, Probability and Statistics, College Algebra and Trigonometry, Plane Geometry, Integrated Math I, II, & III, and most recently, Chemistry.

I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studying students’ language and literacy development, and reading motivation, in preschool through college. I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the value of

I first believed I wanted to be an entrepreneur like my father. As I looked around my community I realized education is paramount for everyone. Especially those who were struggling to get an education.I started to volunteer to tutor the children in my sister's church in 1980 and I have been tutoring ever since. I am currently employed in the Philadelphia School District as a Middle Years Reading/Language Arts teacher.I have experience teaching Pre-k through adults how to read and and in all content areas. I use reading strategies and mapping to assist those with weaknesses and to make the instruction more entertaining. My teaching style is varied and I use Gardiner's Theory of multiple intelligences when I instruct. I also use choice boards,differentiated instruction and interactive websites when appropriate.I have been very successful tutoring students and parents have been totally sat

My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not become overwhelming. Since the beginning of the era in which the special education population has began being mainstreamed into regular education classrooms in most schools, I have developed a great practice of differentiated instruction. I also am aware that there are people who are a specific learning style as well as the people that are a combination of any two or three learning styles. That's who I teach for. I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically w

It's important for every teacher to believe that every student has the capability to learn. Public education, as well as education in general requires teachers to be fair and enforce equality in the classroom. Education serves many purposes, but its most important function is to prepare students for life. Students must be able to use the knowledge they gain in schools to improve themselves and their future. Courses should teach students information that will directly benefit them. It's not just information that students learn in schools. They will look to their teachers as role models to show them the way. I graduated from West Chester University with two bachelor degrees, BS in Chemistry Education and BS in Chemistry. Over the last four years I have tutored students in General and Organic Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics. As part of my BS in Chemistry Education I completed a semester of

My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and high school on the French speaking island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean for one year where I taught English conversation and American Culture. After returning to the United States, I taught high school Italian and am currently teaching 7th grade French. I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student. For me, it means recognizing the unique abilities and personalit

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on their writing. Through this individualized tutoring style, I developed an appreciation for working one-on-one with students and peers, and began to develop a highly personal, creative style of tutoring. Over the course of my teaching experience, I have found that students learn best when they are comfortable yet appropriately challenged. It is my goal to distinguish the learning style of each individual student that I work with and from there, develop a plan to meet their goals. I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard Coll

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined. I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in

My teaching style is to encourage students to do their best at all times by setting high expectations for them. I use my soft-spoken, easy going, and focused mannerism to provide the best level of instruction. Students are encouraged to become independent thinkers in problem solving and in discovery of the study habits that will help them to succeed in their academic careers. As a dedicated and certified educator, I have taken and successfully passed the PRAXIS exam the first time that I took it. I also completed an extensive training program for NJ Alternate Route Teachers. I have spent 7 years working in public education with children and 3 years as a teacher librarian in a primary school and 2 years as a technology teacher in a elementary school. Prior to my entry into public education I worked as an instructor for adult learners for over 5 years. I have earned a master’s degree in I

When a student feels that he or she is staring up at an insurmountable wall, it is important to remember that, as a teacher, that you cannot go with them. You have to provide the strategies students need to surmount, not only the obstacle currently before them, but the one after that, and the ones they will encounter farther down the road. Students come to the classroom or to tutoring with the desire to grow in substantive ways and to learn and to become skilled at working with new concepts and to understand how those ideas connect with the greater world. I see myself as a guide, a coach, and as someone who works to teach students to “decode” complex ideas and texts— a person whose job it is to lessen frustration and to build confidence. I have been teaching English, composition, college research and writing, argument and persuasion, fiction writing and poetry at the university and comm

I am a hard working creative person. Having taught in both the urban and surburban areas, I know that every student can learn when their individual needs are met. I love to see the "lightbulb" go off in my students' heads, especially when they didn't believe that they could do it. I never allow my students to use the word can't. I tell them they can, they might need assistance, but they can do it. No excuses! After graduating from Syracuse University with a BSW and a minor in Psychology. I was sent to Baltimore, MD through the Teach For America program. While teaching for 5 years in Baltimore, I went back to school and earned my Master of Arts in Teaching. I then moved back to New Jersey and have been teaching here for 2 years. For the past 6 of my 7 years of teaching, I have taught Language Arts to students in grades K-college level students.

Mathematics is a joy and privilege to teach students because of its extensive relationship to the world and connection to everyday life. I believe that you need to relate to a child’s prior knowledge in order to gain an understanding of future material. I value a child’s discovery of a topic and act as a guide in my students learning. I challenge my students to think critically but also acknowledge their need to learn differently. One benefit of mathematics is the ability to teach a topic various ways so that all children can succeed. Using manipulative, visuals and technology my students can master material in a way that is meaningful to their learning style. I have always been intrigued by mathematics especially it’s connection and explanations for various fields of science. By teaching my students the foundations of math I have grown to enjoy and appreciate it even more. I look
