I am great with teaching anything within the literary field because I have gone through college and have learned how to analyze each concept to my greatest ability. Through obtaining my bachelors, we had to complete dozens of workshops until we had a perfect piece of writing and this helped a lot with my ability to teach others the typical way to write, analyze and read.

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I

Encouraging instruction from a quality tutor can help students realize the full extent of their talent and ability.

I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten. Holding active NYS certifications in both English and Literacy has had a tremendous impact on the way I teach. I find myself much better able to engage struggling students. Quite often, particularly when it comes to reading, it is the lack of basic comprehension skills that prevent students from being able to fully engage with a text and to perform critical thinking tasks. My experience in diagnosing and instructing students at various stages and abilities of literacy acquisition has helped me garner a talent for overcoming this challenge, and propelling students into higher order thinking. As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will s

Writing, reading, and english have always been my passions. I don't have any formal training within the english tutoring or teaching worlds; however, I have always been a "go-to" for friends and classmates whenever they had questions or concerns about their assignments. Next fall I will be heading back to school in order to obtain my teaching credentials, and in the meantime, I thought that I would use my talents to help others.

My teaching methods include brainstorming, thought organization, use of the thesaurus, and use of adverb and adjective clauses to overcome writer’s block. These are in part “taught” but also developed by recognition and support of inborn talents. Operative use of vocabulary is also imperative to the development of both writing and speaking skills. Practice is as much a key to success as it is in sports, music, or in any discipline. Research is an important tool in the process of effective writing as well as speaking. Research skills are best taught by demonstration. Didactic methods are dry and uninspiring. It is best to teach research skills by actually working with the student. For more than twenty years I have had experience in report writing, creative writing, speech writing, resumes, and projects. My expertise lies not only in the proficient use of the English language bu

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs. I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

I teach using a phenomenological approach, one that is perhaps best illustrated by the psychiatrist, Carl R. Rogers. In other words, I believe every student can be reached through open conversation and discussion. This approach requires patience, the ability to read and understand students, and the skill of relating to students' temperaments, interests, and learning styles. While I often appear laid-back to the students I teach, I am constantly conscious of my openness to students and their needs in order to direct them towards a positive learning experience. My ten years of teaching experience consists of tutoring, subbing, and teaching full time at the middle and high school levels, tutoring and teaching English to adolescents and adults in Prague, CZ, and tutoring and teaching for SAT companies. I attained my teaching certification after completing my student teaching at a school
