Law Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Woodside, DE

After receiving my undergraduate degree from University of DE and my master's degree from Wesley College I pursued my passion of giving back. I currently work with college students helping them explore their inner leadership abilities. I've brainstormed, researched, created, and implemented a retention-driven mentor program for underrepresented students. I use both of my degrees every day; serving as a voice for underrepresented populations and I thoroughly enjoy budgeting and planning for the Office of Student Life. I enjoy supervising students of all ages, majors, and background. Also, I supervise undergraduate research utilizing not only my interpersonal skills but also my grammatical skills. During the past 7 years I have served as a mentor to a number of students watching them graduate from high school and go on to succeed in college and beyond. I love serving as a mentor and would

In my experience with teaching, I find that the best way to connect and convey the information is to provide aural, visual and experiential exposure to the material. Everyone does not learn at the same pace or through the same exposure to material. It is also important to be perceptive to the possibility of student frustration as this is almost always a road block that will arise and if not identified can lead to lower absorption of the material or complete lack of understanding and drive altogether. As a re-founding member and President of the Syracuse University chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles (www.pershingriflessociety.org) I was responsible for the planning and instruction of between 12 and 20 students in the areas of Leadership, Project Management, Exhibition Drill and Wilderness Survival.

Working with kindergarden through Adulthood, I work with a student to help them get to where they can be their best. Additionally, it is always my mission to teach the student self confidence and basic study skills in order for them to compete with their classmates or to compete with others similarly situated. I work with students one on one or in a small classroom setting. I get the children actively involved in the learning process and I help them to learn how to conquer their study weaknesses.

As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion. I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas.

As an Education Director at a Boys & Girls Club, I taught in the non-traditional sense, through after school literature-enhancing programming of various kinds. I instructed K-12 students, and even parents and staff, on many different levels of achievement and ability, so I am very acquainted with diverse populations and accomodating their educational needs through creative tools and approaches. Since my years as an undergraduate student, one of my passions has always been giving back to the community through tutoring and mentoring. Over the past eleven years, I have tutored countless times, particularly in research paper and essay writing (in various disciplines), literature, and even mathematics.

I have always enjoyed tutoring students. I would like to be able to give something back to the community and those in need of my services. I am very patient and would enjoy the challenges that tutoring brings. I would use clarity, knowledge, enthusiasm, authority, and have a powerful presentation to captivate the student and thereby facilitate learning. I would be proactive with each individual student in my classroom. As a teacher I'd promote individual thought and reasoning abilities. Students could then become more self-sufficient and independent as a result. By promoting challenging ideas to help the students develop and create their own opinions and ideas. I'd create a positive classroom environment to facilitate the student’s effective learning. I'd enjoy helping other adults or students achieve their educational goals.

In 2004 I graduated from Smith College with a double major in American Studies and Art History. While Smith is founded in the liberal arts, I chose to take courses across all disciplines in order to receive Latin Honors. Additionally I have a MA in Media Studies from the New School University. I have a background in tutoring across disciplines and have many strengths and particularly in writing and editing due to my work experience in publishing this past year. Now that I am going back to school to study law in the fall I want to start tutoring part-time again. I have years of experience working with children in both an academic and an athletic setting. In addition to educational tutoring I have worked as a figuring skating coach/instructor, which helped me develop the tools necessary to work one on one and with groups.

As a healthcare consultant with an associate degree in Management and bachelor degree in Business Administration, I spent much of my time writing, presenting, and educating. My mathematical, grammatical, presentation and writing skills were honed. I taught all levels of hospital personnel how to improve operations and use their new computer systems in both classroom and private sessions. I did some private tutoring last summer. I am an approved substitute teacher for the Indian River School District. Many students have difficulty in a classroom setting because the teacher teaches one way, while not all students learn the same way. I believe in getting to know my students during our initial sessions to discover how they learn. Listening and picking up on verbal and body language cues allows me to relate with students. Patience and perseverance are my strong points. If one method doesn’t

I have taught a few weapons classes and use of force classes as a security forces member in the Air Force. However, I have never taught classes on a regular basis. As a supervisor and trainer in the military, it was my responsibility to train the new individuals that came into the job. There was a lot of studying material that I constantly had to sit down and go over with them. We made flashcards, took notes, made up quizzes, did verbal question and answers, etc. I actually used to tutor math in High School when I was in an advanced Calculus class and have helped many friends with their college math. As a grad student, I am writing lots of essays which has really helped me with my English skills. I have a lot of academic experience that I would love to utilize while tutoring.

A wise man once said; to learn, read; to know, write. But to master, teach. Teach is one of those nifty reflexive verbs where the teacher and pupil are interchangeable. If both are patient, resourceful, imaginative and caring the learning becomes less process and more flow. This is always my goal in teaching: creating a positive and flexible environment for all the principles involved. And of course, frequently there must be laughter. I graduated from St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts foundation of learning that has served me judiciously on the metaphorical road of life. For the past several years I have applied my interest for the ocean environment, marine mammals and teaching to volunteer for education outreach in schools and the local communities in coastal Delaware.

I took a few classes on teaching at a small community college while I was still in high school. I still am considering becoming a teacher after going back to school to complete my major in accounting. I've always been a stronger believer in one-on-one teaching working more proficiently then being taught in a classroom. I am very patient and hard-working. I had an internship at an under-priviledged daycare for local children in Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever accomplished. I understand the difficulty in learning new things takes time and patience so I am fully willing to diligently work to help encourage students to strive to reach goals. I entered DeVry University in Summer of 2007 as an Accounting/Business Major looking to aquire my Associates of Applied Science in Accounting.

My work for various employers in the insurance and legal industry has been dependent on strong interpersonal skills, dealing with those on all levels of the social ladder. As my career advanced, countless times I was called upon to assist others in their training, and my job also required a daily aspect of education in explaining intricacies of systems to many. I strive to advance in everything I do, including my education. While working full-time, I pursued a law degree in the evening, both as an attempt to further my career, and gain all the associated intangibles of higher education. I cherish the opportunity to apply my skills for your benefit, and more so, the ultimate benefit of your clients.
