A Little Bit About Me...

I knew I wanted to teach five minutes into my first teaching job. In 2010, I graduated SUNY Old Westbury College earning certification in Special Education (1-6) and Childhood Education (1-6). As one of the older matriculating students in the class and a mother of two girls, I have seen how different methods of teaching worked with different children. Being a wife and mother, for sure, are meaningful life experiences; but as a dance teacher working with children, I am familiar with the discipline it takes to achieve specifically defined goals. For the past 20 years I have taught ballet. I student taught in a high needs school district and am familiar with state standards.
I say with confidence that my life experiences,enthusiasm, energy,passion for teaching and honed instincts as a teacher make me more confident, driven, enthusiastic and employable than the average new graduate. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very simplistic. I find that things make sense and become easier to do when you convey the instructions or operations in a clear and simple manner. I love breaking things down and explaining them, so that when the whole picture is viewed, it all makes sense. I am very patient and understanding. I am also very systematic and logical and try to teach in that way.
During college, I tutored a group of my peers in several courses. Some of them being, but not limited to: small group communication, interpersonal communication, accounting, intermediate algebra, and multimedia and graphic design.

I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way.

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching and tutoring have been the most fulfilling and rewarding jobs I have had. I believe in the communicative approach to learning in which the tutor guides the student to the answer in lieu of simply giving it. From my experience, a little bit of well-constructed guidance goes a long along way in a student's success. I am also goal-oriented, patient and sensitive to the students' feelings, which creates a comfortable environment for them to excel in. I want the students to feel free to learn and make mistakes and I believe this is when most truly thrive. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing the small successes from week to week grow into semesters of strong grades as well as witnessing the changes in the students' attitude and motivation to succeed.
Last spring I graduated from the University of Florida Romance Languages and Literatures Department with a BA in French. ... read more
