While working at the AHRC I had the opportunity to instruct children with special educational needs. As a teacher I created diffentiated lesson plans daily. I was promoted to the position of Individual Education Plan Coordinator(IEPs) in 2005. I had student teaching experiences at Bay Shore Middle School and AHRC Educare Center in which I worked with severely handicapped children of grades 6-12. Throughtout this time I have personally tutored many students from other districts in Social Studies, English, Writing, Reading and Science. I am dedicated and hardworking. All I need is an opportunity to tutor for your agency and I guarantee that you will be extremely happy with my work ethic and results.

As far as possible, I adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. When I was teaching beginner-level German to an adult opera singer, I focused on helping her develop her conversational skills and pronunciation, using English to explain difficult concepts. By contrast, when teaching a beginner-level 12-year-old, I used a total German language immersion approach and built on my student's love of creative writing by asking her to write her own endings to traditional German short stories. In general, I believe in a natural language acquisition approach that gives students opportunities to practice, make mistakes, and learn from them. Students have told me that they find me to be very dedicated, patient, and encouraging. I hold a master's degree in language education and certification as a public school teacher in two states, New York and New Jersey. In the last three years I have ta

I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I am patient, and a firm believer that the only "stupid" questions are the ones that are not asked. I have high expectations for my students because I know that they all have the potential and inherent ability to succeed, but that everyone needs a little extra help every now and then. For me, teaching is not simply a job, but a joy, and I look forward to going to work every day. I am a NYS Certified Elementary School Teacher, currently working as a Staff Developer for Eastern Suffolk BOCES, training administrators and teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions, especially as these data relate to student performance on the NYS Assessments.

It is my belief that all students have the potential to learn. As a teacher, I am fully committed to the success of my students, all of my students. Children need to know that their teachers care about them. Once this trust has been established, education can begin. I like to take the time to get to know my students. If I can make learning relevant to the individual student, it will be much more effective. This means using material and content that interests the student, and finding out what motivates them to learn. In doing so, I can help my students be successful learners. I have held several elementary level leave replacement positions, as well as a Part time reading position. I taught fifth grade in a NYC Public School for four years, and I presently work with preschoolers and toddlers on Long Island, with Bright Horizons. I have tutored students in reading, wri

I strongly belive in Differentiated Instruction. Every student, no matter what age, has their own learning style. Working toward learning what style (auditory, visual or by using manipulatives such as cards, tiles, etc.) works best for them is the key to success. Through patience and confience boosting your child can meet their potential. I began tutoring Math and Spanish when I was sixteen. After seeing how I could help students ccelerate in Mathematics, it was the key to me staying in the teaching field. I began teaching at a Middle School right out of graduation and have loved it ever since. In college, I took a course which studied the programs of Microsoft Office and networking. I incorporate Microsoft Excel and Word programs into my Middle School Math curriculum every year to teach my students appropriate data display and how to write papers about Math.

I find careful lesson planning, addressing students' multiple intelligences and learning styles are the keys to a successful learning experience. Additionally, I continually look for ways in which I can bring the curriculum to life. For example, I often use performance in class, or ask students to create a storyboard or visual representation of the material we are discussing to enable the student to read the text closely and interpret its meaning. In teaching, I have seen the power of education. I have seen it empower students and make them feel they can accomplish their goals. My goal is always to help my students be the most successful they can be in the classroom and in their lives. After graduating with a BA in Creative Writing, I spent two years teaching adult literacy classes until 1997, when I stayed home to raise my family. During that time, I attended graduate school part

I am a teacher who believes that a discovery technique of education has proved to me that all students can learn and master what they themselves view as their true and real career choices.

My experience as a teacher has primarily been with students who are struggling with either some form of learning or social/emotional disability. Most of these students have been a challenge, a joy, and a reward to have taught. I have found that most students want to learn and to succeed in school. But those who do not or cannot, usually have had a history of failure and frustration. It has become my personal mission to find the right words, the right attitude, or the right starting point so that my students may begin to experience success, and a desire to continue learning. I am a highly dedicated and enthusiastic educator who believes that all children can learn. It is up to the teacher to assess and implement the best method, or variety of methods of instruction for each student. In order to successfully cultivate the motivation to learn or succeed, the teacher must develop a personal
