A Little Bit About Me...

I have had an ongoing desire to pursue a career in literacy and childhood education since receiving my Bachelor’s of Arts in Child Studies in 1995 from St. Joseph’s College. Recently, I graduated with a Master’s of Science in Childhood Education and Literacy from Long Island University at C.W. Post and am currently working as the everyday ELA substitute teacher in the West Babylon School District. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to work full-time in the AIS Reading Room as the English Language Arts Everyday Substitute in the West Babylon School District. I currently work with kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade students providing daily remedial reading intervention.

I would describe my teaching style as patient, caring, and creative. My goal is to make sure my students feel comfortable and relaxed enough to absorb the information we are working on. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn if they are guided by the right educator. My goal is to help my students learn enough so they eventually can work independently. I find that my students really enjoy my style of teaching, and feel that I am always available for them. They are relaxed with me and feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and be open to learning. One of the greatest joys I have is teaching a child to learn. Learning can be fun and I try to let them see that!
I have been a substitute teacher in the Commack School District for over ten years. I love helping my students reach their goals and feel so gratified in doing so. It gives me great ple ... read more

I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.
I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a y ... read more

I have spent the last eight years in school earning a Bachelors degree and will be earning my Doctorate in Chiropractic in March 2011. During this time I have tutored numerous subjects ranging from science to world history.
I am excited about helping children grow in an academic environment. I personally feel each child has their own way of learning and developing their skills that will help them in their future. I look forward to being a part of this process.

Throughout my teaching experience, I have taught in diverse school districts that range considerably in socio-economic backgrounds. This experience has molded me in to a compassionate, competent educator. When given quality instruction, respect and support, students will have all of the tools they need to succeed. I use a differentiated approach so that I may reach all levels of learners.
I am a veteran teacher with HQ status. I believe passion and the persistent pursuit of excellence is what distinguishes a “good teacher” from a “Highly Qualified “one. I have taught Elementary Education for 6 years and Physical Education for 6 years. I am proficient in a variety of curriculums including, but not limited to; Lucy Calkins, Mondo, Six Traits, Investigations, 105 ELL training hours, Everyday Math, Scott Foresman, Houghton-Mifflin, Step Up To Write, DERA, DRA and Core Knowledge a ... read more

As a family and consumer science educator I have taught many different courses and a diverse population of students. I have taught clothing and fashion, food and nutrition, international and regional foods, culinary arts, life skills, and I have taught courses catered towards special education and ESL students. I am fluent in Spanish and have a true passion for teaching. I have recently been assigned tutoring a special education student. I teach him basic nutrition and how to live with diabetes. I find tutoring a very rewarding aspect of teaching.
I believe that all children have strengths and weaknesses. As an educator I have to encourage students to focus on their strengths while assisting them with those areas that cause them difficulty. There should never be a point when a child cannot learn. Children can learn anything given the right instruction and environment that caters to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

With a BA in communications and a minor in sociology, I have an understanding in many subject areas such as, english, history, speech and media. As a graduate student I have extensive experience in writing papers and doing extensive research. I have worked as a newsroom researcher in the past. I am currently working on my graduate Thesis as well. I have experience in teaching students in elementary school up to the college level. At Long Island University I have worked as a graduate assistant, and a Tutor. I also have experience in working with students in after school programs.
I am a very hands on person, who believes that with patience each person can learn. Some people must understand that each person learns in a different way. I do not believe that people should compare one child to the next, because it is unfair.

I was appointed at PS 21 in September 2004 and have been there every since. During my tenure I have taught 6th, 5th and currently 4th grade. I am trained in balanced literacy meeting the standards for ELA. I have worked with students on both sides of the learning spectrum and implement differentiated instruction to meet the needs of each student. I am responsible for state testing mandates and a full curriculum which includes math, science, social studies and literacy.
I use hard (testing scores) and soft (observation) data to improve student performance. Evaluation of students is an on going process and I prefer to conference with students so they have clear expectations of what is expected of them in regards to routines, assignments and overall performance throughout our time together. Students that are held accountable for their actions and are motivated properly w ... read more

I have had the opportunity to tutor students in various subjects (eg. math, biology, English, science). I have also had the privilege to work with students at the elementary, high school and university levels. My passion for teaching, love for helping others achieve their highest potential and vast experience working with youth have led me to pursue a career in teaching. I graduated from Biomedical Sciences, and shortly after began studying Medicine. I soon realized it wasn't the career for me and I decided to switch paths and follow my heart, and go into teaching. I applied for teacher’s college for September 2011 in Canada and New York. For this reason, I currently have much free time and energy that I wish to direct towards tutoring.
Over the years, I have volunteered in orphanages in Central America, worked as a camp counselor and a soccer coach in Canada, tutored English in il ... read more

I am especially well versed at helping students that have great difficulty in learning subjects such as math. I have developed new teaching methods that are extremely effective. I have been able to help many disaffected students who had given up on themselves and who other teachers viewed s hopeless cases. I find it very gratifying to rekindle a student's passion for education and a love of learning. I have been highly successful in this regard.
As a former HS Math teacher in NYC I have great experience working with students that many other teachers regard as "difficult". As a product of NYC public schools I was well suited to work with such students and had great success in helping them achieve their academic goals and make better choices in their lives. I often encounter students who thank me for the help and orientation I provided at a time when it would have been all too ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past four years, I have volunteered at a youth center for underpriviled children in cosmopolitan Palm Beach. The experience has taught me to be patient and clear when teaching. I try to lead the child to the answer using the Socratic Method. At the same time, I enhance the child's study skills and motivation towards homework, which in-turn boosts the child's self-esteem. Parents and children alike are satisfied.

I decided to go into teaching while I was working at Birch Childhood Center as a full time teacher assistant with children with special needs ages 0-5 years old.

Now I work as a substitute teacher at Bronxville Public School.
