Experienced and Proactive Educator

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

Bringing fun and learning together to achieve success!

Hands on learning, use of technology, books, group learning, creative role play of different ways to solve problems.
Many years of experience teaching, working, and tutoring children of all ages. Every child learns in a different way. I want to be able to find the best way and help children have fun while learning. It is important to establish what learning method works best for a child before teaching can take place. A child will be successful if they are having fun and learning in a style that they feel comfortable with.

I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences.
I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be j ... read more

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.
I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy of teaching is a student-centered one. I believe students learn from each other and through experience. I see myself as a teacher that will act as a guide to students as they gain confidence in learning how to critically think working through their problems on their own. I believe that all children can achieve to their full potential as they follow the educational path of individualism as well as cooperative learning. It is my hope that I will inspire and motivate my students to enjoy learning and teach them that the learning process can be fun at the same time.
I graduated from Marist College with my Bachelors in Psychology and Special Education in 2008. I have always had a strong passion for teaching students ranging with different abilities. Previous to my student teaching and observation requirements as an undergraduate student I was a mentor and tutor to middle ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices.
As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes.

During the past five years I have worked as a professional communicator. My job has been to take a very complicated weather forecast and turn it into something simple, fun, and understandable.Every week school was in session for the past three years I visited children to speak about weather, and how it affects their lives.For two years I spent my mornings and afternoons before work at the television station substitute teaching.I averaged 2-3 days a week, and worked throughout various grade levels in a city school district.
As a meteorologist visiting students I split my time up between lecture, group activities, visual experiments, and exciting weather video. I even had a section where the children helped me forecast and could stand in front of the camera and report the weather. I designed this lesson plan on purpose to hit on all the different learning needs of the students. Du ... read more

I graduated from Fordham University with a B.A. in English and a 3.44 GPA in my major. I plan to continue my education and receive my Masters in English. I will receive New York State certification in Adolescent English (7-12) this summer and have several years of experience tutoring students from a range of age groups. I tutored an eight year old girl for two years and tutored a college senior for one year. I also student taught in the Bronx for grades 7 and 10 this past year.
I believe that each student can learn, but every student learns in a different way. It is the teacher's job, therefore, to ensure that his or her teaching style accommodates the student. For students who are more visual learners, I may provide visual aids along with the rest of my material. It is important to assess a student's learning profile before teaching takes place. I also strive to create a war ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From my teaching experiences, I have learned that I enjoy educating, as well as learning from, students of various ages. From my courses and classroom experiences, I have learned that each student may benefit from various types of learning such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and/or a combination of learning styles. I have learned how to gain student interest and engagement through various methods of motivation, such as technology, or other student interests. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor, I believe that it is necessary to get to know each student’s academic level as well as interests in order to develop adequate lessons.

As a college graduate with a degree in Accounting, I worked for IBM for 30 years. However, I was fortunate to obtain jobs that enabled me to effectively develop other skills that I thoroughly enjoyed. Those skills include both writing and teaching. In a systems support role, I designed and wrote informational materials to support newly deployed applications. In another supporting position, I trained over 300 accountants in IBM's operation system as part of their computer rollout. I also provided education of a query tool used to enhance the accountant's ability to analyze financial data more effectively. In both instances, I was unfamiliar with the material to be presented and had to learn the subject matter on my own first.
I loved teaching and found it very rewarding. I have been told that I have the patience of a saint. This may be due, in part, to the fact that I hav ... read more
