Teaching is not for everyone, but I knew it was for me when I started student teaching and felt the adrenaline rush of 25 eyes staring up at me for guidance. I feel the need to spread as much knowledge as possible to the up and coming generations.I always feel rewarded when the day ends because I was able to help students get a better grasp on life. I also believe that the student is the teacher as well. Through my experiance, a student can teach an instructor just as much as the instructor can teach them. I am very laid back yet can still hold the fine line of being direct and rigorous at the same time. I am excited to teach anyone and everyone. It is with out question that my education will still continue as I apply to graduate school. As A recent graduate from a Liberal Arts School, I found it easy to connect with teaching as my calling. I have always driven for high levels of excelle

Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress. My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world. I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and adults

I have 11 years of teaching experience in various settings. I have taught in public and private schools. For six years, I was a lead teacher in a Montessori Elementary classroom. During this time, I studied the curriculum and philosophy of Montessori Education. I have gained many skills through this experience that I can share with your child that will lead to success. I have also worked closely with aligning curriculum to New York State Learning Standards, to assure that my students are meeting state standards. I believe that children learn best when they are engaged in meaningful, interesting work. My goal is to provide an educational experience in which your child will build skills and confidence. I rarely use worksheets and textbooks to teach these skills. I prefer to make and use games and activities that will help your child master necessary skills. Learning is fun!

As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor. Listening and watching how people learn, what they need to know and formulate the best way to establish a program to achieve their goals. Each individual possesses their way of learning that may be derived from their environment, culture, family or a combination. Whenever possible I try to use diverse medias to experience topics from various views stressing constant feedback to assure comprehension is taking place. Helping individuals advance to the next step by learning is my passion. My mantra is Inquire, Inspire, Educate. After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English.

I am blessed that I am not academically extremely intelligent. Otherwise, I could never be sympathetic to the students who struggle processing various concepts. This thought brings me to the scientist Einstein, who says, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." I believe in being persistent, consistent, and have patience and be pationate. Teaching is the most rewarding profession and I hope to continue teaching. As a Buffalo State graduate, I have received Dean's List award. I have earned two Master Degrees, Master of Social Science in Public Administration and Master of Science in Reading that helped me to teach to the students who face difficulties in the content area reading.

My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning.

Besides my formal degrees, I believe it is my experience that makes me highly qualified for a tutoring position. My experiences include working in rural, urban and suburban school districts. I have also worked with children with disabilities through the Center for Disabled and as a special education teacher in an inclusion classroom. Through my graduate program, I tutored at a summer reading program. During this six week summer reading program, I used a balanced literacy approach to help my student become a more confident reader and increase her current reading level. When students have both an academic instructor and a caring educator they are provided with a unique learning experience and able to learn and grow as an individual. Each child deserves a right to a fair education, and it is my number one priority as an educator to provide that. The impact a teacher makes on a child can las
