More About This Tutor...

While attending High School, I was involved with the Special Education students as an aide, in addition to running a classroom of 2 and 3 year olds at a child care facility. I am currently a student (Senior) at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. The degree that I am striving for is English and Special Education (P-5), which will also certify me for general education. Over the course of four years that I have been at Monmouth University, I have observed and taught in many elementary schools ranging from grades Pre-K to 8th. The subjects that I love the most are Literacy and Mathematics.
I believe that all children are capable of learning; however it is important to remember that children have various learning styles. Some children may be auditory, textile or visual learners. My approach to teaching is a hands-on style where students can learn material through experience an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As I grew older, I knew I wanted to go back to school to teach. I raised a special-needs child and when he passed away, I felt I needed to be an advocate to teach children. I currently work in a behavioral school where I teach English and History. It is challenging everyday and it was I am meant to do. English and reading are the essence of school and there is no better feeling when a child finally understands something that they were struggling with. I am highly qualified in English and have been tutoring academics as well as life skills for the past year. I feel my life experience and knowledge will only benefit each child.
An education is the key to life. If a child is struggling and does not have the right guidance, they will end up hating school and everything it stands for. I love working with all children and feel that if I could touch the lives of children, there is ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
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 teac ... read more

Every child has the potential to learn. However, every child is different and therefore, learns differently. It is important for an educator to understand this. It is crucial for a teacher to get to know their students and be able to create lesson plans that are not only innovative, but that are accomodating to each of their students. As a teacher, I realize that we are not perfect and that sometimes, a lesson that we may feel is incredible, may not be so incredible to a student. Therefore, it is important to be flexible and willing to try again using a different technique in order to reach all of your students. I truley beleive that as long as I constantly remain flexible and willing to learn, my students will follow.
I am a person that loves and believes strongly in education. I have earned a BA in Political Science and followed with an MS in Criminal Science as well as an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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...
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Considering my extensive experience as an Elementary Teacher, Basic Skills Teacher, In-Class Support Teacher, ABA Instructor, and Recreational Professional, I feel I am highly qualified to tutor. As a past Pre-school Inclusion Teacher and an ABA Home Instructor/Parent Consultant, I have become familiar with the “High Scope” curriculum as well as assessing and evaluating students. My positions as a basic skills teacher in Toms River and Lakewood have helped me to develop various methods in teaching skills in oral language, phonological awareness, shared reading, comprehension, and writing in preparation for the NJ Ask tests.
I believe an outstanding teacher should be intelligent, creative, motivated and caring. She/he also needs to realize that each child is unique with various levels of potential. One must think "outside-the box," continue with ongoing education, and above all ... read more

I have substitute taught grades K-8 for 4 years now. I have also worked as a teachers assistant as a one on one with a student with a behavior management plan. I have tutored at a learning center for about a year. I have always been involved in the education field, and love working with children.
My philosophy of education is that all students can learn, and it is up to us as teachers to present materials in a way for their understanding. In the classroom with the use of differntiated instruction and tiered assignments I think this helps reach most learners. I also think the use of manipulatives in the classroom help those students who are more hands-on. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to present material so that each child has the same opportunity to learn.

More About This Tutor...

Have taught a total of nine years in elementary and middle school while raising my three children. It was during this time I discovered two of my three children were diagnosed with special needs. This prompted me to return to school where I obtain my Master's certificate in teaching students with disabilities. I wanted to learn more about how children with special needs learn and the best ways of reaching/teaching them.
I truly enjoy and strive at reaching children according to how he/she learns best, be it kinesthetic, tactile, auditory, visual, or all of the above. I create a lot of my own materials and make learning interesting and fun.
