My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined.
I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teac ... read more

As I grew older, I knew I wanted to go back to school to teach. I raised a special-needs child and when he passed away, I felt I needed to be an advocate to teach children. I currently work in a behavioral school where I teach English and History. It is challenging everyday and it was I am meant to do. English and reading are the essence of school and there is no better feeling when a child finally understands something that they were struggling with. I am highly qualified in English and have been tutoring academics as well as life skills for the past year. I feel my life experience and knowledge will only benefit each child.
An education is the key to life. If a child is struggling and does not have the right guidance, they will end up hating school and everything it stands for. I love working with all children and feel that if I could touch the lives of children, there is ... read more

I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children. I enjoy helping them in their learning process. When they do well in achieving their goal it's rewarding to me. I know I have accomplished something. All my students achieved a grade level or more whether I tutored on my own or with Club Z Tutoring Service.
I believe every child is entitled to an education regardless of any circumstance. They should strive to achieve all they can become. I try to be a teacher with patience, a good listener, and to encourage all my students with a positive attitude. My students needs come first and I try to always have extra time for them if they require it.

More About This Tutor...

I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studying students’ language and literacy development, and reading motivation, in preschool through college.
I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the val ... read more

My belief is that any student can master subject matter if it is presented in an organized manner at the student's level. My experience has been that many students have difficulty because the information has not been presented correctly. My goal is to have students achieve success in a stress free environment.
During the past sixteen years, I have taught a variety of subjects including Language Arts, Reading,Science,Spanish,and French.I have also taught middle school students that receive home instruction in all subject areas.

I want each student to feel successful, and I provide experiences that help build confidence. My style is calm, slow and steady.
My teaching experience includes 20 years in an urban school district where my students range from mildly learning disabled to severley impaired.

I have substitute taught grades K-8 for 4 years now. I have also worked as a teachers assistant as a one on one with a student with a behavior management plan. I have tutored at a learning center for about a year. I have always been involved in the education field, and love working with children.
My philosophy of education is that all students can learn, and it is up to us as teachers to present materials in a way for their understanding. In the classroom with the use of differntiated instruction and tiered assignments I think this helps reach most learners. I also think the use of manipulatives in the classroom help those students who are more hands-on. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present material so that each child has the same opportunity to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

I am a believer of the fact that each child is an individual and capable of learning. I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and providing them with different strategies to learn. I am a concerned, passionate, honest and confident person. I believe that every child learns differently and that one must alter teaching styles to suit the needs of the students. I have worked with students in the past and hope to do so in the future and be able to help them learn and make a difference in life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a strong work ethic and value education. As an undergraduate I majored in both Elementary Education and English. I am continuing my graduate studies in Special Education. Since graduation I have taught all age groups from pre-k to twelth graders, both regular and special education. I have also led after school study groups for elementary students with a focus on reading and math. In addition, I spent one year working for a tutoring company.
As a teacher, I am in tune with each student's individual learning style. I understand that material must be presented in a variety of modes to accomodate all learners. I think it is important for students to take ownership and responsibility for their education and value a strong work ethic. I am conscious of incorporating "real world" experiences into each lesson to make the learning relevant to their life.

My past experiences as a studying elementary and special education teacher include multiple classroom settings in both urban and suburban school districts. My time spent in numerous classroom settings has motivated me to value teaching students in a meaningful way, where instruction is adapted to fit the needs of all individual students. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, grades 1-6, along with a Master's degree in Literacy Education, grades K-12. My most recent experience working with students includes teaching 6th - 9th grade reading and writing courses at a summer program within the Philadelphia area.
Throughout my teaching experiences I have had the opportunity to work with numerous students with a variety of learning styles. My undergraduate experiences in Inclusive Education have influenced my beliefs in differentiating instruction, as I feel that ... read more
