More About This Tutor...

Since I have worked students with a wide variety of learning issues; I feel that I am well prepared to assess and deliver educational materials and instruction to any student. I understand that each student has his learning style and prefers specific modalities such as: games & puzzles, logical sequential, the arts, naturalistic, etc. Although those would not be the only modalities I would use to educate my students, I feel that I must acknowledge this and respond with a portion of the lessons directed at personal interest. Also, the student's learning environment is important. My students are the recipients of a positive climate where tangible rewards/awards are delivered along with praise, emotional support and encouragement.
I have been in the field of education for approximately 14 years of which the last 8 years have been special education. I have worked with students of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education should be tailored to the needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student. I believe in consistent positive reinforcement and praise, and in tracking and measuring skills so that students have evidence of their progress. I hope to help students discover the intrinsic rewards of learning, but respect the joy and relief students feel when their goal is passing a difficult subject for promotion.
As a lifelong learner, I'm always motivated by students who have a curiosity for improving their own skills. I have a BA in liberal arts from Vassar College and a MS in Education from Queens College, which I earned through the full-time work/part-time study New York City Teaching Fellowship. I am fluent in Spanish, conversant in Japanese and French, and am always excited about learning more languages. As a special education teacher, I've worked with large classro ... read more

As a graduate of Vanguard University, specializing in teaching credentials,I was very much driven to achieve my lifetime dream in education. I have earned a bachelor of arts, BA major in Social Science and minor in history.

During the last five years I have directed a preschool investing into the lives of teachers, children and parents. I have taught Pre-K through 9th grade in the last 30 years.

My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able to quickly recognize students' learning styles and fashion my teaching style to what works best for each student. I employ a great deal of Vygotsky's research when teaching; that is to say that I fully understand Vygotsky's notion of how students' learning curves require a variety of sources to pull from such as media, books, music, and other people with whom to discuss their learning experiences.
My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical signif ... read more
