I am experienced in determining a person's study abilities and tailoring a program that fits their needs. I have my BS in Paralegal Studies from Peirce College, with a minor in English. In 2010 I earned my Masters Degree from Drexel University in Library and Information Science. I completed several graduate level courses on youth instruction. In addition, I have mentored children and adults with ADD. At the age of 19 I was diagnosed with ADD and went through an intensive learning disability program consisting of various types of learning and processing. I would like to help children conquer the disability before they pick up bad study habits and poor self-esteem. I am patient, thoughtful and I believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. When I was younger I struggled with a learning disability. I overcame the disability to earn several degrees with honors. I am looking to help students who are wi

The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse needs and present effective instruction for the particular learner. This increases the student's motivation and desire to learn. From the opportunity to study abroad in Spain and Italy, I was exposed to different cultures broadening my understanding of human nature. Part of my course work has included developing unit plans, lesson portfolios, assessments and materials for students. As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create

I have earned a Master's Degree, two bachelor degrees and two certifications, MEd in Spanish and BA in English and Spanish as well as K-12 certification in Spanish and ESOL. These degrees have enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of language and English skills such as grammar, writing and research papers. Over the past nine years I have taught and tutored students in English, ESL and Spanish. I love teaching and helping students to reach their fullest potential. Since each student learns differently, I believe the most successful education involves discovering each student's learning style and strengths to best enhance them as well as identifying weaknesses to develop strategies to develop them. I am patient, dedicated and considerate. I believe that each s

LOUD & LIVELY! I like to make the lessons I teach interesting and involvement is key. If I can educate and entertain (a tool I use), I command participation, respect and learning. Due to my style, students, once in a while, think it's all fun and games. I am also an enforcer of rules. If you want to continue to have learn and have fun, you better act right. As an educator, I have tutored students in mathematics and English from grades 4 through college level. I have taught songwriting in summer camps, 4th grade language arts and ESL to high school kids fresh from Korea. Also, as a Youth Advocate, part of my job description was helping my kids with school work and homework.

My teaching experience has shown that i can teach to all levels from elementary to college. All students have different learning styles and I adapt my method of delivery to match the students learning style. Students learn by doing. my job is to act as the guide along their path to discovery. From 1980-2008 I was employed as a Junior High Social Studies teacher in Atlantic City. Presently I am employed as an adjunct instructor at the Atlantic Cape Community College teaching World Religions and Introduction to Philosophy. In addition I serve as a writing tutor.

I am currently tuoring at an Academic Development Center and Student Support Services as a psychology and math tutor. I love sharing my knowledge with others and at the same time, I learn and gain alot from my students. When students come in with questions, I will first ask them what subject is it for, does the teacher give out any guidelines about the assignment, and what difficulties you have with this assignment. If it is math problem, I'll do serveral problems step-by-step with my students. Then, I'll pick a problem that was similiar to the problem that we just worked with, and ask them to do it. If they still have problems, I'll show the steps again one more time until they get it. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in math. I have interests and excel in both of these areas.

I believe in all teaching styles, especially since no one child is the same; everyone is unique and different. I am patient and considerate while providing the best education to students. My approach to teaching is hands on, and practice makes perfect. To teach is to actually touch a life forever. I actually teach children the way I would want someone to teach my own children. I also repeat and use many samples to make sure the child actually understands before moving on to the next topic or subject. As a graduate from the distinguished Norfolk State University, I have a drive and passion to work with children. I have earned my BS in 2007, and since then have worked several jobs in the school system. I have immense communication skills, writing, and organizations skills. I am a competent. compassionate, cooperative, and committed leader. I started out as a tutor/ mentor while still in co

Tutoring is very important to me. I learn as well as teach through my process. Although I believe grammar is very important, I aim to teach organizational skills within any student's writing. I have noticed that most students have more difficulty with making connections within their own writing than with grammar. Furthermore, I find an immense pleasure in successfully tutoring a student. I understand that students can feel nervous, angry, and upset when they are being tutored; I make sure to consider their feelings so I can gain their trust. A student who trusts their instructor is always more willing to learn. Finally, if I can make a person happier about learning then I consider myself successful. I am a senior at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey who will be graduating this year. I hold a 3.9 GPA in the Literary Studies program. On top of this, I will be graduating with a min

I have found that any student can learn. The key to a student's success is that education must be approached in the correct manner for that individual student. Not all students learn in the same fashion, and that must be considered in planning and implementing lessons. I believe that education needs to be approached in a fun way that coincides with the student's individual interests and learning styles. If the student loves sports, I would find innovative ways to include that in my tutoring so that he/she would stay focused and retain information. Furthermore, I firmly believe that education needs to be approached in a constructivist manner. A foundation needs to be established, upon which new skills can be built. I have always been a very hardworking student. In high school, I graduated 15th in a class of 301 and took college level courses in Calculus, Chemistry, and English my j
