More About This Tutor...

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

I attended Towson University where I earned a bachelor degree in Special Education and Elementary Education.

I believe that all students can learn. Caring for young children can be a large undertaking for a teacher, but all the effort put forth in caring has great value.

I am a life long learner, and encourage all students to be life long learners as well. I love working with all children and have a true confidence that all children can learn, although possibly through different teaching styles. I am patient and work well with others (parents/guardians/professionals) to meet the needs of each and every student. I find that the environment in which the student is placed plays a major role in how and what is learned. My main goal is to make a difference in all students' lives and find that the most rewarding parts of teaching derive from the nurturing relationships I forged with every student and the sense of confidence they felt as they experienced success and growth within themselves.
Through my University’s thorough teacher preparation program, I worked with general education students and students with disabilities. I promote the development and w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I understand that children (and adults) have differennt learning styles and try to tailor my approach to the specific needs of the student. The bilingual students I teach have a unique challenge in that the letters of the alphabet represent different sounds in English versus Spanish. I have a great rapport with the children and because they are receptive to my teaching style have been very successful.
Although I have taught, coached and tutored aorking professionals I only have one year experience actually teaching. Since I have been unemployed (July, 2008)I have been volunteering in a bilingual second grade at Hill Central Music Academy in New Haven, CT

A Little Bit About Me...

I say with confidence that my life experiences,enthusiasm, energy,passion for teaching and honed instincts as a teacher make me more confident, driven, enthusiastic and employable than the average new graduate. I am able to challenge students and set realistic goals. I inspire enthusiasm in students which leads to active and engaged learning. I am patient and make a point of treating every child with respect. Additionally, I find it very important to find strenghts in every child. I am committed to help children bridge what they learn today into what they want to become. I believe that providing a child with long term academic study skills is far more effective than short term, quick fix skills.

During college, I tutored a group of my peers in several courses. Some of them being, but not limited to: small group communication, interpersonal communication, accounting, intermediate algebra, and multimedia and graphic design.
My teaching style is very simplistic. I find that things make sense and become easier to do when you convey the instructions or operations in a clear and simple manner. I love breaking things down and explaining them, so that when the whole picture is viewed, it all makes sense. I am very patient and understanding. I am also very systematic and logical and try to teach in that way.
