In Writing... I generally give my students a mild assessment to see how I can best help them. I also conduct all of my own lesson planning. However, I am certainly accustomed to helping students with current academic work they may already have from their current classes. The first thing that I typically help students do is get pass the creativity block (if needed). Even I, like all writers have suffered from the inability to start my essay because I didn't know what to write about or how to collect ideas for my topic. So the first thing I do for my student writers is help them employ a couple brainstorming techniques to get their ideas going. The second thing I show my writers is what I call the Order of an Essay. This involves arranging and writing the ideas in the order that constructs a well-written essay. This is usually the biggest thing that most student writers strug

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspi

I not only help my students understand the subjects in which they are being tutored, but I also teach them important study skills and help them build confidence in their own abilities. One is never too young or old to enjoy the benefits from tutoring, and it is often a question of just a few months or even weeks before students are back on track. I have been tutoring for nearly two decades; having lived and taught both in the U. S. and abroad. I am a highly qualified teacher in Elementary & Middle School & also in Special Education. I have had all successful experiences working one to one to teach, review, and reinforce skills in all subject areas in K.G. to 7th grade. I am patient and kind and can keep a student focused for each lesson by breaking down concepts using time frames to maintain attention.

As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills.

My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education.

In addition to college instructing, homeschooling my seven children over the last 20 years has taught me that unflappable patience, a sense of humor that makes learning fun, and the ability to help the student learn and achieve in simple steps was vital to their success. Also, an atmosphere of mutual-respect fosters self-confidence so that the student can believe in their own success. I evaluate students in light of their abilities, individual learning style, and the level of their commitment to their own success. In my over 25 years in the business world I often found myself in a position of translating complex business and financial concepts into simplified examples so that they could be understood by non-accountants. This experience and resulting skill easily translated for me into classroom instruction as well as one-on-one individual instruction. I am presently an instructor at a p

Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and success. I’ve taught for five years at Public School 94 in the Bronx, NY and two years in Woodbridge, VA. Working as a New York City public school teacher has allowed me to acquire valuable skills and experience needed to build a solid foundation for my teaching career. Working with students, parents/guardians, and co-workers from diverse backgrounds has enriched and heightened my cultural sensitivity and understanding and has enabled me to meet the needs of a rich and diverse population. Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based o

My teaching style varies based on the child that I am working with that time. I have worked with children with all different kinds of learning styles, so I have learned over the years that you have to be flexible and mindful of the specific child that you are working with. Through my experience I have learned to be more patient, understanding and fair when I am working with the children as well as when I am grading their assignments. During the time that I worked with tutoring companies, I was able to tutor students at their homes as well as on the weekends in a school based setting. These two working environments allowed me to have a sense of diversity in the styles of which I taught the children. It has always been a passion of mine to work with and educate young children and youth. I began tutoring at a Elementary School for a few hours when I was in high school as well as assisted ot
