A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener.
I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a d ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that each child has their own individual style of learning. Every child learns in a different way and therefore can definitely benefit from individual attention. The best way to help children learn and grow is by gradually encouraging them to love to learn. One of my techniques as an educator is to search for ways that each child can connect with their work and their learning so that they begin to want to learn.
I am a recent graduate of West Chester University with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Currently I am a part time substitute for Central Bucks School District, and hope to be a tutor in my spare time. My tutoring experience includes tutoring a girl who primarily spoke Spanish but was fluent in English and teaching her to read and write. I also help students when I substitute in the classroom setting with their classwork.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in History, and spent some time overseas studying music. My BA in History made me into a strong writer and critical thinker. My experience overseas helped my improve my italian skills and also achieve an understanding about other cultures. It also made me understand the value of learning a new language and the challenges ESL speakers must face when attempting to learn English. I have tutored several students from many countries ESL, taught music, Italian, French, Reading and Grammar.

More About This Tutor...

I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell products. If one method did not reach some of the students, I would go out of my way to create a lesson that involved these particular students. Multiple intelligences are ever so important because every student learns in a different.
I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery leve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for most of my classes. I can see why students are missing the concept and I am creative enough to devise new approaches.

I am a recent graduate from William Paterson University with a BA in Early Childhood Education (P-3) with certification in Elementary Education (K-5). I feel it's important for children to establish a life-long love of learning from a young age. I believe children are curious about how things work and where they come from. Therefore, it is important to promote a sense of wonder and curiosity through hands-on materials. Elementary students need a structured learning atmosphere that is developmentally appropriate. It is important to use a variety of teaching methods and strategies in order to establish lessons, activities, and instructions that are reasonable to each individual's developmental standing.
I believe it is extremely important to build a relationship with each student that I work with. Understanding each individual's skills and abilities helps differentiate instruction to ... read more

I strive to let my passion for French motivate my students to achieve. I empower them to succeed by individualizing the subject matter and breaking it down into attainable goals. Students must see connections between themselves and the subject matter and in order to discover how it works by manipulate it in an engaging way. To do this I use a broad range of teaching techniques and I adapt them to each individual learner. Beyond that, I am patient and I have a great sense of humor because I feel learning should be a joyous endeavor
I am a seasoned enthusiastic teacher whose top priority is not salary, but student achievement and job satisfaction.
