I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.

More About This Tutor...

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently a ... read more

Having had pursued a BA in English, not only did I focus on the course material within each class, but even more importantly, I managed to greatly enhance my understanding and knowledge of the English language and its grammatical effects. This has proven more helpful than anything else learned throughout my education, as the ability to accurately compose an idea is simply invaluable. Initially an English Education major for two years, I chose to shift solely towards language arts, though I still am delighted by children and love to interact with enthused students. I have two years of classroom observation activity, as well as several other experiences tutoring students from the ages of middle school all the way through the college level.
I have always enjoyed working with children and understanding their perceptions of the given subject matter. This often results in a personal, in- ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I allow students to work at their own pace and, if possible, provide them with more than one solution to the problem they are trying to solve, whether it be visual, mathematical or basic study skills. This way, they can learn in the way that fits them best. I am patient and willing, and I speak in a more casual way so as to keep students comfortable and interested. On that same note, I often compare study skills or tasks to everyday life so that they can better see the relevance of their education.

It is a teacher’s responsibility to target what may hinder a student’s progress and to make sure every child understands that each individual has unique talents. A teacher must explore each child’s strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them towards developing confidence in finding their talents. I believe that without encouragement and recognition of their talents, any potential for a child to find success in any given subject area may be impeded. With reassurance, development in children increases in all areas. This development brings progress among both teachers and students, improving the quality of education.
With my experience working in preschools for the past few years, I have gained much knowledge in encouraging growth and development among children in many fields including reading and writing. I seek to gain my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education at the same time ... read more

With my background in Humanities, my mission as an educator would be to enlighten the minds of the students in my class by incorporating other subjects into literature. Having my Master's Degree in Humanities has enabled me to study and gain knowledge about a diverse academic spectrum. The knowledge of multiple subjects is essential when teaching English because it creates a more diverse learning experience where students can see just how interconnected history and literature – and life – truly are. My goal to is help every child succeed in education and enjoy the process of learning; I intend to engender and use the students’ passions to help facilitate a lesson or unit.

I believe in encouraging all individuals to read, write and learn in a positive way that best fits his or her specific learning needs. The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.
