More About This Tutor...

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 teacher in elementary and secondary education and recently completed my special education certification so that students requiring special educational accommodations can be properly recognized and taught. I have earned a BA in Education, a BS in Business Administration and two Masters Degrees.
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. Th ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am patient, assertive, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible for each child. I am a firm believer in teaching at a slow yet steady pace and in providing a visual approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential. A few good educators have made in difference in my educational background and I look to do the same.

All of my jobs since graduating college have allowed me to help children work to their potential. Since my major is Special education, I have a strong sense of compassion and empathy. I feel each child has the right to learn, and should love to go to school. Through patience and numerous teaching styles, I try to bring out the best in each of my students.

My work for various employers in the insurance and legal industry has been dependent on strong interpersonal skills, dealing with those on all levels of the social ladder. As my career advanced, countless times I was called upon to assist others in their training, and my job also required a daily aspect of education in explaining intricacies of systems to many. I strive to advance in everything I do, including my education. While working full-time, I pursued a law degree in the evening, both as an attempt to further my career, and gain all the associated intangibles of higher education. I cherish the opportunity to apply my skills for your benefit, and more so, the ultimate benefit of your clients.
I am very confident in my ability to quickly assess the needs of another, and it's appropriate to tailor my teaching style accordingly, so that each child would receive the maximum b ... read more

As a H.S. student, I was a volunteer tutor with A Better Chance program and I continued to tutor and mentor students throughout my college and professional career. I tutored students in math and english/reading. My greatest sources of satisfaction have been spending 3 summers on loan to Purdue University to teach in their Minority Science program for H.S. School students. Additionally, I feel fortunate to have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 12 years and a youth soccer club coach for 25+ years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA. Both degrees placed a heavy emphasis on mathematics, a subject I have been comfortable with my entire life. Also, my 30 year professional career allowed me to hone my oral and verbal communication skills.
I love working with and teaching children and I recognize that every child is different and each has his/her own capacity for learning. Being able ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in learning by doing. In order for information to be retained, but must be practiced. I am not one that will stand and lecture a student, but allow them to show my where they are at with their skills, and work together to improve them. The student will dictate the pace, but I will dictate the focus of each session, after an assessment. I think every child can improve their skills with the right practice, information and encouragement.
While I was in college, I volunteered as a language arts tutor at a middle school in Ewing, NJ, and even since I have loved helping children learn.

Currently and have been employed as an adjunct college professor. There I teach basic composition classes in both reading and writing. Students have experienced and continue to experience a through understanding of the materials given, while making the class a fun learning environment, using my personality, past experiences.
Combine a mixture of textbook style and lecture, independent and group work, using a firm but fair approach towards applying a hand's on method by utilizing text examples and Smart Board technologies. During each class, a brief review is always given in order to keep previous lessons fresh and then combine them into the present. I demonstrate a very personable demeanor towards each of my students, and give an abundance of clear and concise examples before each new activity is assigned.

More About This Tutor...

To me, teaching is the most rewarding profession that exists. I serve as a mentor to many children that I comes across and I love the feeling of being able to educate them to no end. I believe that patience and a genuine concern for children is what makes an educator successful at teaching a child.
I graduated from Temple University in May of 2008 with my Bachelor's of Business Administration. I was a junior counselor at a Basketball Camp in the summer of 2007 as well. I am very comfortable around children and have tutored numerous neighborhood children in the past. I was a substitute teacher from 2007 to May of 2008 until I received my current job. I recently renewed my certification so that I can return to substitute teaching to move towards getting my teaching certificate.
