More About This Tutor...

I am a very patient teacher, and I'm willing to take the time to explain any concepts a student is having trouble with. I have tutored several courses while I was attending college including several biology courses, organic chemistry, and physics. My experience in the Peace Corps has taught me to approach subjects in an “out of the box” way, which I can translate into a unique and effective teaching style.
I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I served in The Gambia West Africa as a health and community development volunteer. As a volunteer I worked in a local hospital on a daily basis, performing a variety of roles. I am a graduate of Roger Williams University. I have a BS in biology. RWU's science courses are intensive in both lecture and laboratory proficiency. As a result I’m able to tutor both lecture and laboratory portions of a cours ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 no better reward. I am strict and fair and of course always give the upmost respect to all students. My goal is to help them achieve by doing all means possible. Every student learns in a different style and pace so I teach to their needs.
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 chil ... read more

It gave my experience in working in the special education field, using manipulatives to improve his reading, writing and math skills. The experience of working with an autistic student was challenging, but very rewarding. As a beginning tutor, I would be honored in helping students improve their skills in English, Science and Social Studies.

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.

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

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 creat ... read more

I have a B.S. degree in Meteorology from SUNY College at Oneonta which required a great deal of mathematics, especially in calculus. I have taken calculus I, II, III, ordinary differential equations, general physics I & II, general chemistry I & II, and number theory. Other courses taken that involved mathematics were: physical meteorology, atmospheric dynamics I & II, weather analysis and forecasting I & II, micrometeorology, and remote sensing of the atmosphere. With these courses, I have developed a strong understanding in both math and science. I interned at Teterboro Airport as a Meteorologist in 2005; forecasting for local businesses. I also collected/analyzed data for a severe winter storm that hit the Northeast in 2004.

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

I have taught a wide range of learners in my fourteen years of teaching and worked extremely hard to reach every single one of them. I have collected a wide variety of methods in my teaching tool kit to make the concepts easy to understand. It is important to me to design the lessons around the interests of the student in order to make the experience an enjoyable one. I am a very caring and compassionate person and have the patients to ensure that I can help your child. To me it is not only important for the students to understand the concepts, but also for the child to find a passion for learning.
I have spent the last fourteen years as an educator teaching Language Arts and Social Studies at the intermediate and middle school level. In the last two years, I have acted as a Literacy coach in my district giving assistance to elementary, intermediate and middle school teachers ... read more

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been a very hardworking student. In high school, I graduated 15th in a class of 301 and took college level courses in Calculus, Chemistry, and English my junior and senior years. I have earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in Mathematics. I enjoy math immensely. However, since I completed my degree online, I also have extensive experience in writing and grammar skills. I taught preschool for one year, and have been working as a nanny/tutor for a student for 2 years.
I have found that any student can learn. The key to a student's success is that education must be approached in the correct manner for that individual student. Not all students learn in the same fashion, and that must be considered in planning and implementing lessons. I believe that education needs to be approached in a fun way that coincides with the student's indi ... read more
