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

Hands-on, smiles-on!

I am very laid back and flexible. While I might be calm I only have 3 rules, 1. Be respectful, 2. the words "I can't" are not allowed :), and 3. have fun! I tend to create games based on the skills that are being taught and I'm not into lecturing, my approach is very hands. Learning can be fun!
Hey! My names Bethy! I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I've been tutoring since I was in 5th grade. I can tutor all ages in almost any subject. Last year I had the highest GPA in my whole school! I love teaching anyone who is willing to learn! I also teach children with learning disabilities and special needs.

I have extensive experience working with children and adults in teaching environments. I believe every single person deserves a chance to succeed. Sometimes it's just a matter of a little extra attention that makes the difference. Sometimes a person needs something explained a different way. Regardless of your child's skill level, I am a kind and patient tutor who will take the time to reach your child where they are. There's no greater feeling than seeing a child "get it."
I am delighted to offer my services as a tutor for your child. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and Fine Arts and a Masters of Science in Education, K-6. I am a fully certified CT K-6 teacher.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with children, and have a passion for literature and language. I believe that my love of the written word can be “contagious”, and that by modeling this love of literature, my students will come to see the value in studying the classics: insight into the thoughts and ideas of others. I have high expectations for all of my students, and I know that each student learns at a different rate and through a different approach. I believe in tailoring my methods in order to meet the particular learning style of each of my students.
Upon graduation from college in the 80's, I taught adult education for three years. I then entered the business world, where I had a successful career in sales and operations management. In 2009, I chose to leave my corporate career and reenter education because of a desire to utilize my strengths and do something that helps people. I obtai ... read more

My teaching style varies depending on the need(s) of the student(s). I understand that some youth are visual learners, some learn by hearing and some learn by doing. I also understand that many youth learn through a combination of learning styles. I will work with your child to find the best learning style for him or her. As a current substitute teacher and private child-care provider, I have the patience and desire to help your child succeed.
As a young professional dedicated to the education and well-being of youth, I am motivated to help them achieve their educational goals. As a trained journalist, I have a firm understanding of subjects like English, Reading and Composition. I have experience helping elementary, high-school and college students.

More About This Tutor...

For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children. Additionally, I spent the previous year leading the art department of an influential promotional products firm. I gained experience in customer service and graphic design, and also invaluable knowledge regarding teamwork and juggling multiple tasks. These various facets of my background have enabled me to work well with both children and adults, in special education or otherwise.
I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience a ... read more

As an Ivy League Physics-turned-Social Sciences major, I have mastered two distinct skill-sets: one mathematical and one analytical. My mathematical background includes single and multivariable calculus as well as differential equations. I have tutored mathematics and physics, both on my own and for Cornell's own students, for the last two years. Additionally, my more analytical social science background has given me strong skills in researching and writing long reports and papers. I have also tutored students in writing and grammar.
One constant holds between the middle-schoolers and Ivy League engineering students that I have tutored: simplicity works. My style is to eliminate any strange concepts or terminology and instead focus in on the basic principles underlying an idea. After the student understands the basic principle, he or she begins to apply it through examples, problem ... read more

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. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press.
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 attitu ... read more

I attended Mount Saint Mary College where I obtained a degree in English with a concentration in adolescent education. Hired directly from my student teaching experience, I have worked for John Jay High School for four years now. I have taught ninth and tenth grade Regents English and ninth and tenth grade reading and writing intervention classes. I have also tutored both privately and through the district, and have taught eighth, ninth and tenth grade summer school for the past three years. I am currently pursuing my second certification in Reading.
Although I am a traditional student, high school was a difficult time for me and I felt largely misunderstood by my teachers. As such, I have committed to creating a safe learning environment where students feel comfortable to be themselves. I have high expectations for my students and am capable of adjusting my style to accommoda ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and their learning styles. Each child learns in different ways and I like to focus on using a variety of methods. Some children are more visual learners, while others are auditory learners. I often like to "conference" with my students and get their feed back to know what is working for them or not and give them the effective strategies that work for them best. I strive to give them confidence in what they are doing and enjoy what they are learning. Teachers who are enthuastic, supportive, and understanding can make a world of difference to a child's educational program.
I am a graduate from Albertus Magnus College and my concentration was in Child Development. Most of my education included studying the child's brain and how it develops and learns. Studying child development has become essential to my practice as a teacher in t ... read more

I like to teach with a light touch. As a parent I have nurtured teenagers through challenging times. My experience has taught me that most kids only want to study those subjects that interest them. Unfortunately, they have to study even their least favorite subjects. I have found that once they start to do better in a given subject, their interest in it increases and the grades improve soon afterward. Learning can be fun, but getting good grades is even more so.
I am a life-long learner, having earned my BA after enjoying two successful careers. I was a reporter for 10 years, then went to the corporate world. When I was downsized five years ago I ventured into other areas including teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to teaching and providing learning opportunities for all ages, from preschool through adults (including those with special needs), in a variety of settings, I am the author of 30 nonfiction books, including those on how to study and take tests, how to participate in class, and how to achieve life-goals step by step. I work as an editor and have assisted writers at various stages in successfully producing their own work. As a specialist in public communications, I am experienced in finding ways to make productive connections with others. This ability carries over into my new career as a counselor, where I practice skills that enhance my success in helping others to achieve their goals, including academic success.
In my experience, the approach that works best with all ages is to form a cooperative bond to make the effort more a “we” project than a “you-must-do-this” on ... read more
