I am a professional writer, currently doing freelance work. I've also published a novel for adults, and I'm revising a novel for children. As a kindergarten, and pre-school teacher, I ran the Hooked-on-Phonics program with great success, and instilled a love of reading in all my students. I've been writing for over thirty years. I've also studied American History for many years, and have done extensive research in working on historical novels.

I am very comfortable working with students of all ages. I am extremely patient and easy-going with a good sense of humor. I believe in enabling students to become proficient life-long learners. I try to encourage my students to look beyond the textbook in order to achieve greater enrichment in their lives. Learning should not stop at the school doors. In order to be successful in life, students need to learn how to find and utilize resources to help them grow and mature intellectually throughout their lives. It is my ultimate goal to enable students to think critically and become successful life-long learners.
Over the past several years I have helped students achieve their potential in a wide variety of educational settings. I have taught several different subjects including social studies, math, reading, and French to students ranging from kindergarten to seniors in high school. ... read more

I began teaching high school Drama while still in college in 1982, and went on to win four state championships. I began tutoring SAT students and teaching prep classes for the Princeton Review in 1989. I have taught GED prep for Rockingham County Services. In 1992, I began tutoring special needs students and teaching summer school social studies at Portsmouth High School (1992-1997). That year, I returned to college and earned a degree in English. From 2000-2007 I was Chair of the history and Drama Depts. at the Woodward School in Quincy, MA. That same year I began teaching History for phillips Exeter Academy's summer session (2000-2008).

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extends well beyond their formal schooling.
Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work ex ... read more

When I tutored sixth-graders in 2000, I found it to be very rewarding. The students in Lowell came from varying backgrounds with different levels of proficiency in English. I was able to help them improve their reading and writing skills, as well as their mathematical skills. I am a compassionate, patient, caring person, and I feel the students responded well to this demeanor. I strive to make a positive difference in each student's life.
As a liberal arts graduate in 1981 with a BA in sociology, magna cum laude, I was driven to achieve a level of excellence in my academic career. I have always loved school, and I have done well in all areas that I have studied. In 2003, I decided to pursue an associates degree in Veterinary Technology because of my love for animals. However, after giving this field several years of my life, I decided to move on. I would like to work in a f ... read more

My teaching style is in the classical form. I very much feel that with proper motivation and diligence a student must place the necessary effort into significant practice and application of material learned. I love working with children and have many years of experience in helping to motivate and coach students to achieve their very best. I believe that students must be guided in achieving knowledge and tutoring provides the very best because of the individual attention that can be provided to each student. Student should be encouraged with high standards of performance.
My direct teaching experience has been at the elementary level in all subjects. I have a year of remedial math instruction at the high school level. After 12 years of direct teaching the remainder of my career in education has been at the administrative level. Over the years I have tutored primarily in math but ... read more

I am a very honest, laid back teacher. I ask a lot of my students, but I do not do so in an intimidating manner. I like to have conversations with my students about things which they don't even realize are related to the topic we are working on. My extensive experience with special needs students has taught me how to get through to students who may not necessarily want to do the work they are being asked to do. I believe this is my strongest asset as a potential tutor in your program. I have worked with students who are eager, yet want to learn, and I have worked with students who want nothing to do with school as well. I believe that all children respond to somebody who is honest and outgoing with them - someone who is willing to give of themselves, rather than simply asking the student to do all of the giving. The greatest compliment I have ever received was when a special education ... read more

Know the student first, then teach the subject! I believe most students learn most effectively when teaching is aimed at their personal learning styles, interests and abilities wherever possible. I always try to customize learning in this way. Understanding my students is the key to good teaching. That is my teaching style. I like to augment more traditional styles of teaching with visual arts and music. I believe in letting a student have control of his /her learning activities and I always teach to NH state standards of learning and assessment, unless working in a more independent setting.
I am an experienced educator who has a wide variety of experience in diverse school settings; public, private, alternative, and adult education. I am NH state certified in Social Studies (HQT) and Special Education. I also earned a masters degree in educational counseling at Southern Connectic ... read more

The temptation as instructor is to simply restructure the way in which a student learns in order to fit your view, and those I have helped encourage such behavior. Guidance, suggestions, and allusions as to how a student can improve and understand is a better alternative. Simply doing the work for the student has little value in regards to education. A fine balance must be struck between open ended comments of little use and high jacking creativity through re-working large portions of work. My policy is to make the student aware of their shortcomings, explain my reasoning, and use enigmatic reserve in telling them how to correct errors. Unless the mistake is simple, I hold back on literally telling them what to do. .
As an undergraduate, my focus for studies in English were both Critical Literary Analysis and Creative Writing. Analytical writing was stressed heavily, giving me ... read more

With over 18 years of experience in Education I am capable of teaching to a variety of students and learning styles. My particular areas of expertise are composition, grammar, English literature (Shakespeare specialization), Latin, and American history. I am a working editor and writer and believe that the ability to communicate clearly and effectively (a skill I teach to all of my students) provides the foundation for all future learning.
It has been my experience that most students appreciate an opportunity to sit quietly and think carefully over a problem. Time for a short burst of creative and intense scrutiny is a rare luxury for most of my highly-stimulated students. My philosophy is that learning is a student's job and they should give that job the attention it deserves. I encourage my students to explore while learning but believe in providing a structure and models in whi ... read more

I have been helping students improve their skills since 1989, and there is nothing that thrills me more than a student's "aha!" moment, when everything they are trying to learn just clicks for them. For the past several years I have taught introductory critical thinking and basic essay-writing; students come to me when they have difficulty finding the words for what is in their heads, and I work with them one-on-one to help them express their analyses. I have assisted many students in writing college acceptance essays, term papers, book reviews, and all other written assignments. I know how to help students establish good work habits and systematize their work for less drama-filled, more successful academic experiences.
My skills, which I learned in the Education Bachelor's degree program at the University of Connecticut, emphasize the development of critical thinking and clear ex ... read more

I hold a degree in Business as I have been in this field for over 30 years. I have been an engineering assistant for ten years and worked in sales and marketing. Upon my return to college I became very interested in education and feel I need to help students stay in school and to be a mentor for students who need extra help with reading and comprehension, and self esteem. I have achieved to graduate Cum Laude after being out of school for 35 years.
I love to encourage and reward students for their efforts. I want what I teach to be fun and become something they want to learn rather than some thing they have to do. I will put together a plan that will entail all the required learning objectives while including ways to relate what we are studying to every day life situations. My style is to let the student have the freedom to expand their own imagination, I want my students to feel ... read more
