Phonics/Reading teacher certified in the Montessori Method

I'm a certified Montessori teacher having completed 500 hours supervised teaching. I've worked 11 years with children 1 1/2-3, and 3-6 teaching phonics,reading, and independence. My style is casual using objects and pictures to reinforce beginning sounds. Once the child has learned as few as three sounds, we are able to start reading words. I also babysit on an 'as needed' basis.

Elementary Expert Offering Results

Greetings! I'm a certified elementary educator with seven years of experience working as a basic skills teacher, test prep tutor, and for the last five years a third grade teacher. I am trained in STEM and reading and writing workshops. I pride myself on growing student's reading levels, writing, and critical thinking. I'm currently looking to tutor additional students and would be happy to assist with homework and projects, as well as develop study skills, test readiness, and fundamentals.
I am knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and experienced working with children with a variety of needs. I believe every child is an individual that should be treated with respect and understanding. My approach to teaching utilizes a child's interests, technology, engaging texts, and inquiry-based projects. Tutoring can be so much more than impersonal instruction.

If you Need a Tutor, Look No Further!

I have been tutoring since 2004 both privately and employed. I had worked at The Tutoring Center at St. Dominic's parish on Frankford Ave., in NE Phila. from 2004 until it closed in 2009. I have also tutored privately in the past and continue to do so. I have tutored students from preschool all the way up to college. I have helped students who were behind not only catch up to their current grade level but also stay current with their present material.
The Key for me is to Make Learning as Fun & as Easy as you can! Bc the more a student likes what he/she is learning the more he/she will want to learn! And to do that, you have to Know your student - his/her learning process. I also make a point to ask my students what they like & then I use that to make my lessons Fun & Enjoyable rather than a Chore or something they don't want to do! I also Explore Why they find a particular topic h ... read more

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

More About This Tutor...

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

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 have become very involved in youth development and academic success. I also am a motivational speaker for high schools and colleges. I believe that any student can achieve their dreams and goals. One bad habit that I share with people is that I am stubborn and this describes the desire to never give up. I want students not only to succeed academically, but also in life. I will do everything in my power to provide students everything that will help them reach their desires and goals. I have substitute taught theatre and history classes. I am an extremely creative person and will always offer a new way to look at a problem or situation.
As a high school student and college graduate, I have lived through the education process and hope to share that experience with students. I hold a Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in Women`s Studies. I graduated from Wilkes University which ... 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My main focus when teaching is to "keep it interesting". Students struggle with relating to their teachers and administrators in a classroom or school setting; either because the material in their opinion may be "boring" or the style of teaching is not corresponding with the students style of learning. I like to keep it simple and keep them focused. There are so many distractions and temptations for a student struggling with their school work and social or home life. I take the time to get them back into it. I can help improve reading and comprehension skills, help advance writing skills and creativity all while keeping them interested and entertained.
At Hofstra University I gained not only the experience necessary to work with a diverse group of children and teachers, but also the understanding of how important reading, writing, comprehension, and grammatical skills are in life. ... read more
