More About This Tutor...

Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I would encourage my students to let them tell me as much as they possibly can about their problems, wants, and needs. I, as a teacher, am a role model to be trusted, and I would like my students to put their faith in me as their leader, role model, and hero.
I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system. I have knowledge of: computer programming, software knowledge, accounting, care and maintenance of buildings, physical structures, and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a doctoral candidate in pedagogy at Montclair State University and employed as an adjunct professor of Philosophy at Raritan Valley Community College.
I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to ... read more

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in developing a rapport with students, treating them as equals in the learning process. I have skills and knowledge that students can access, freely providing them with the information they need to be successful. I am organized, prepared and set clear objectives in terms of what I hope to accomplish. I try to keep a sense of humor and make learning a fun activity.
I went through a rigorous program in English Composition where I received my MA. Prior to that, I had several years of teaching experience as both a high school/middle school English and Social Studies. Later I taught 4 years of College English. Then I spent a couple of more years teaching high school English, in addition to spending one year tutoring students in SAT/Regents instruction. My particular passion is helping students generate, organize, develop, revise and edit their writing.

I enjoy teaching children of all grades, because I put myself in their shoes. I remembered when I was in High School I always seeking help in my weak subjects, and I still do seek help because I am still learning. It is very important to help these students so they can be encouraged, and see themselves not as a failure but as a winner who seeks help and want to reach for the highest stars. I see it as a blessing to be able to help those students in their weak subject, that way I could be part of their success, the same way someone is part of mine.
During my year earning the bachelor degree in Biochemistry, I have joined the national chemistry club which enables the students to meet other chemists throughout the United States, and also to learn more about elements in the environment. Also I have worked as a Teacher Assistant for Organic Chemistry, during my time as undergraduate stu ... read more

I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!) I have a collection of toys and noisemakers that I use in the classroom. My classroom is visually dynamic and inviting. My goal is for my students to enter to learn with smiles on their faces, and anticipation for learning something fascinating. I love to lead them to daily "Aha" moments of discovery. My sense of humor and use of cartoons maintains an involvement high. I strategize with my kids to examine the many different ways to learn, in appreciation of their various learning styles. My students are empowered to question and learn more than required. By building their trust in me, and knowing that I sincerely love being with them, true learning hap ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a BA and an MA. I went to school for elementary education and worked with that age level throughout my college experience. I taught fourth grade during my student teaching. While finishing my degrees I worked as a mentor for emotional disturbed children and adolescents which led me to my current job as a teacher in a high school setting with emotionally disturbed students. I teach a variety of subjects including English Composition, Language Arts, Environmental Science and Consumer Math. I work individually with each student to help them work at their potential without overwhelming them as well.
I enjoy working with all types of students. I work with students who need a lot of extra support and direction in my current job. I have worked with younger students with basic skills help as well as older, struggling students. I try to u ... read more

With a BS degree in Information Technology, minor in Religion and currently pursuing a MS degree in Professional and Technical Communication, I have the diverse background that enables me to understand various academic areas in depth. I have been teaching the art of dance for 6+ years now and have perfected the ability to work with students from the age of 3 to adults. I have tutored elementary students when I was in high school and although I have not tutored since, working with kids from a different perspective (other than academics) has helped me understand kid's psyche in depth.
I am a firm believer that if a student is allowed and taught to think independently, they will discover their own way of learning. Each student is different in the way in which they tackle various subjects, it is important as the educator to understand that approach and encourage the student to discover ... read more
