Tutor for Regular Elementary and Special Education

I have recently retired after 30+ years as an elementary special and regular education teacher. For the past 15 years I have also worked as a tutor for the city of White Plains. I have done extensive private tutoring for the past 20 years. For 17 years I worked as an elementary special education classroom teacher at New York Hospital in an out-patient day treatment program. This program involved elementary school age children who displayed severe emotional and academic difficulties and were unable to function in a regular school setting.
Multi-sensory, positive reinforcement approach with a focus on student involvment by the use of manipulatives for a hands on approach. I have also employed behavior modification programs in the classroom setting when necessary.

If you need to learn something, I can teach it!

I attempt to teach various topics in a manner that is easiest to understand, with one on one tutoring, I can adapt my style and methods to the individual student to maximize they're understanding.
I've tutored various classmates and students in lower level math classes while in college. I've assisted children while a counselor at a summer science camp. I was a Teaching Assistant for an introductory MIDI class in which I oversaw students progress during lab, taught them how to use the program, and assisted with any issues they may have during lab.

Teaching through example. I will not do your work for you, but rather show you the roadmap to success and see that you follow the proper steps.
1st 30 min lesson is FREE! Throughout my career and also my time in school, I have always been able to not only achieve success in various levels of mathematics, but also articulate to others through teaching and working through examples so that they can achieve similar success and have a clearer understanding of how to complete their work independently.

I was taught at the high school level by someone who has coached many individuals and teams to various local, state and national championship victories.

A Little Bit About Me...

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching because I enjoy seeing the progress with people as they excel in something they thought they would never be able to do. I like working with children because I can make learning fun and interesting to them. I have a lot of experience working with younger children in elementary school all the way up to young adolescents in high school. I have also been a mentor to freshmen in college. My teaching style is very eclectic. I understand that all people learn differently, and I am very open to adapting to the style that works best for them. Ultimately my main goal is to see people succeed and feel good about them selves. Teaching and tutoring comes very natural to me, because I have a lot of patients, and enjoy problem solving with a variety of people.
I am a recent college graduate who is very focused and motivated. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology an ... read more

I would say that all people are capable of learning and improving their abilities, knowledge, and skill. My experience has been that if a child, youth, or adult is given the space in which to learn, and introduced to material in a patient manner, in the style that works for them (be that through explanation or visual learning, etc) they will take the initiative to learn and grow at the pace and direction which works for them. People are naturally inclined to learn and grow, and my experience is that when given the opportunity and supportive role of a teacher, they will become interested in learning and continue to do so.
After graduating from college with a BA, I began working for an environmental restoration and public education program. We led large volunteer groups sometime of more than 100 people, in local park and forest restoration event, and also led youth groups on 10 day r ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have recently graduated from the M.F.A. program at Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing. I completed my undergraduate work at W.C.S.U. as well, earning degrees in English: Creative Writing and Philosophy. After completing my undergraduate studies, I stayed at W.C.S.U. for my graduate work, and I also undertook the responsibilities of a graduate assistant. I taught two classes a semester and worked in the writing lab as a writing consultant, helping students with papers for various classes. In the writing lab, I not only honed my skills in detecting mechanical and grammatical errors, but I also learned how to teach students lessons in correcting and avoiding errors in the future.
I am a very descriptive and thorough teacher. I enjoy explaining subjects first, then writing examples on the board to encourage note-taking. Then I like ... read more
