LESSONS SHOULD ACCOMMODATE STUDENT LEARNING STYLES

I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth.
My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.

Certified Teacher for Summer Tutoring

I am applying to be a tutor for your child because of my profession. As a teacher, I value the development of the whole student in order for them to excel academically as well as socially. My teaching style exemplifies this by reinforcing a constructivist teaching philosophy in the classroom. I believe that lessons should be designed to enhance students’ experiences so they are able to anchor their knowledge in experience. I may contribute to the school by having the experience of creating lessons where students learn through discovery. I have student taught in a special education classroom where I was asked to create and modify lessons using Common Core standards in order to fit the needs of all learners. My experience in being able to modify, adapt and differentiate lessons would make me an important part of the professional learning community. I have had many wonderful experien ... read more

I am a professional case manager who over the past 20 + years has held a variety of positions typical of the non-profit world. I work with the disabled population and have extensive successes working with those living with disabilities that fall under the autism spectrum and down syndrome.

As I was once a child with a speech impediment, I received many services such as reading and writing and speech therapy throughout my elementary years. I feel it is important to help children and students receive the services they need to succeed as soon as possible. I believe students learn best with hands on experiences and in multiple modalities. I will adjust my teaching style to the learning style of the student. Some students are visual learning and some are auditory learners. Whichever style they may be, I will make sure to provide examples and activities that fit their needs. I have chosen a field that helps children and students because I feel it is important that students receive education from educators that care about their success and that want to make a difference in a child's life.

As a recent graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, I am excited to begin helping high school and college students with math and science, as well as technical and essay writing. I have earned a BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering, and a MS in Engineering Management. This curriculum has enabled me to gain a deep understanding of math and science used in both engineering and business settings. I have also learned extensive writing skills throughout my career both at Greatbatch, Inc and Lockheed Martin. Throughout both my undergraduate, graduate and full time work, I have been exposed to many learning opportunities and I would love to share my knowledge and excitement with the future leaders.
I really enjoy teaching and working with people of all ages. I believe everyone is able to grasp the concept of math and science when taught effectively and with patience. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to motivate with stories and interactive discussion. Most of my teaching involves drawing out someone's talents and inspiring them to reach for something better in themselves. There is a great deal of fear and trepidation when someone tries to change anything whether it is health behaviors, relationships, personal performance, etc. My secondary purpose is to promote confidence through contructive evaluation that allows the student to comfortably make mistakes and plan new approaches.
As a chiropractor and business owner, I am teaching everyday. People need to understand how to create health and that they have the potential to be the engineer of their lives. Wellness and personal development are the keys to vitalistic living but easily overlooked in our stressful world that emphasizes the mechanistic, "react to crisis" mode of function. I am reversing a great deal of ol ... read more

I pride myself on helping to create and improve a vast array of skills while providing the students with a strong foundation of what it takes to be life-long learners. I believe that students learn by example, and I show students how to proceed in the most difficult situations to become a contributing member of society. My strongest attribute is my ability to build rapport rapidly and continue to maintain a solid, positive connection throughout the relationship. My strong focus on student advocacy, academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, and social/emotional and career development will help to meet student’s preventative and proactive needs.
I spent much of my time helping others to improve in many areas of life. I just graduated from graduate school to obtain a masters degree in counseling services. This has provided me with the certification required to work ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy working with students of all ages. One of my favorite parts about being a tutor is working with students in small group or 1:1 settings. I have a great deal of experience working with both students with disabilities and students without disabilities. I believe that each student is different and tutoring allows for the student to focus on the way that they learn best. Depending on the age of the student, I also believe that they can play a role in determining which ways they learn best and how they feel they can be most successful.
Throughout my undergraduate time at Le Moyne College, I worked as both a tutor and substitute teacher. After graduation, I continued to work as a tutor and teacher while I pursued my Master's Degree. Once I finished graduate school I began teaching full time as a Special Education teacher. I have worked with students in all grades ranging ... read more

My goal as a teacher is to see that each individual harbors the goal to become a life long learner. Many feel that they are not cut out for advanced studies in college, and I like to help that individual find an area that they feel successful in and encourage them to investigate it and see what possible opportunities it can lead them to. Learning takes place not only in classrooms, but outside of them as well. I believe in working with students to find alternative ways of advancing their knowledge. For example, I work with what students are interested in and turn it into lessons. I firmly believe that life experiences open the doors to learning and my goal is to find opportunities to present that.

I have spent most of my career in helping students with learning challenges and other special needs. My strongest asset is that I am very good at teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I have tutored a lot of students who are considered to be slow learners or who have some kind of learning disability. When I first started in the education field, I helped to transition students from being in the least restrictive environment to going to a regular classroom. This is what use to be called mainstream education. I still use the skills that I learned an developed when I was doing mainstream education. I believe that many students who now go through inclusive learning classroom are left behind. They still need that mainstreaming link that is so often neglected. If you have elementary students who need to bridge the learning gap or they are somehow left behind and need to catch up in their edu ... read more

My teaching is predicated on the philosophy that all students can achieve academically. Through versatility and flexibility, I strive to satisfy the diverse and individual needs of each child. I thrive on playing a part in transforming a child who hates to read into one who wears out his library card. It is very exciting to me when a child masters a difficult concept and experiences success. One of my greatest assets is my ability to develop positive relationships with students and establish trust. I am kind-hearted, empathetic, and patient. I use humor and modeling as tools to engage students. I am passionate about teaching, dedicated to student development, and enthusiastic about the learning experience.
