Children's Success is Our Business

We cater to how your child learns!
Although we are a new business in the heart of downtown Hammonton, our extensive selection process at UpGrade Tutoring ensures that our tutors are not only qualified individuals, but also positive role models and effective educators matched to suit your student’s needs.

With these tools, we can pinpoint exactly what your child needs to succeed and how we can help. Whether you choose a small group setting (3:1) or a one- on- one session, your student will receive the help they need in a much smaller, and intimate learning environment.

I just graduated with a BA in Psychology and are two courses short of a minor in Spanish and Sociology. I've always been very strong in the English/Language Arts/Writing areas as well. I am currently a certified substitute teacher and also already do some elementary tutoring. Some of my previous tutoring experience include writing, some psychological statistics and some basic math/language skills.
I love to teach and help others in general. I always had difficulty when I was younger finding a tutor or some help in my studies that I could understand easily. I am a very patient and have a great sense of humor that come in handy during subjects of frustration. I believe if you can bring a child into their comfort zone and put the directions in the most simple fashion, a child can learn anything! I'd love to turn a subject they avoid into a subject to brag about...

More About This Tutor...

As a student and teacher, I have been driven to excel personally and to help my students achieve excellence as well. 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 ... read more

As a non-traditional student I gave a good deal of thought as to what career to go into. I love working with students and enjoy providing an environment that is customized based on the student's individual learning style. I believe all students have a desire to succeed, but frequently struggling students have lost touch with that part of themselves. I would like to offer students an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. I have personally witnessed students transformed when they found a personal connection with the materials they are studying.
I graduated with honors with my AA from ACCC and maintained a 3.4 at Stockton College. While in school as a non-trad. student I have been a full time sub. teacher at Mainland Regional and Ocean City High Schools subbing for 9 years.I have worked with students of all ability levels from the special needs to gifted students.

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 value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelors in Science. My major was public health and I minored in biology and psychology. Throughout my college career, I have participated in many community service clubs and worked at a tutoring center where I helped college students with their weekly writing assignments. It was my responsibility to help them with their grammar, writing topics, and reading comprehension. I was able to help them grow into stronger and more creative writers.
I enjoy tutoring students and seeing them succeed. When they do well, it makes me feel like I have succeeded too. I believe teaching is very rewarding and it is important to take time and be cooperative with students in order to help them.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student. For me, it means recognizing the unique abilities and personalities of each student to properly develop and manage a learning strategy for them in order to make measurable gains. I only compare a student against his or her own self so that they realize the only measure that matters is their personal improvement.
My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and ... read more

When tutoring a student, my goal is to help the student come to the solution of a problem through already existing knowledge. I ask questions which help relate a difficult problem to one the student already knows how to solve, and I gently lead them in the direction of the answer without ever explicitly giving it to them myself.
I excelled as a mathematics major at The College of New Jersey, receiving numerous awards and induction into both Pi Mu Epsilon, the national honorary mathematics society, and Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious liberal arts honor society in the country. I have 4 years of experience tutoring students in mathematics at both the high school and college level. In the fall I will begin the PhD program in pure mathematics at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst.

I feel my teaching style is student-centered, enthusiastic, and focused. I love working with children and young adults. My extensive coaching background allows me the skill of being able to motivate and build a child's self esteem by setting realistic academic goals. Children reach their fullest potential when tasks are challenging, but not overwhelming. Through guidance and positive reinforcement, students can far exceed what they ever thought possible.

I work with the student's strengths to ascertain their learning style and then apply these to the area needing improvement. No one style will work for every child. Therefore, I work independently with each child's style and work to make a marked improvement in their success.
As a full time tutor and academic coach, I have spent 1000+ hours privately tutoring, holding classes and teaching middle and high school to understand the many learning styles needed to achieve success. I possess an BA in English and an MBA in Human Resources. After 30 years in Corporate America, I retired early and returned to teaching, tutoring and coaching.
