My philosophy of teaching is best articulated by the famous quote by Michelanglo --" I am still learning." I try to relate to my students that, although I may have a little more knowledge and experience, we are all, hopefully, continuously seeking knowledge about ourselves and the world. My role as a teacher is more one of a fellow journeyman than an 'expert.' I believe that if you are passionate about what you teach and enthusiastic about the teaching process, students respond. I love the written word in all its manifestations --its beauty, its flexibility and its power to connect and communicate. I teach that writing is not an art reserved for the few but an intrinsic part of being human. We are story-tellers by nature, and if given the opportunity, safety, guidance and skills, anyone can write well. Regarding my approach to teaching composition, I employ a thematic-based st

I have been a life-long teacher and learner, first as a mother of three children and now as an elementary teacher. I come with a very strong foundation and fourteen years of professional experience effectively integrating art and technology into the curriculum. This has allowed me to become knowledgeable in elementary math, English, science, social studies, reading and writing skills. My strategies and activities provide differentiated instruction to fit the various needs and learning styles of all ages of students. To extend an extra helping hand to students I work with an after-school program, C.A.R.E.S. which provides after school activities. I also formed a Homework Club that meets four afternoons a week to develop and practice study skills and habits in addition to help with homework. For the one-on-one learner, I can provide a comfortable paced program to meet individual needs.

My teaching style is a very interactive one. I often work directly with my students and walk them through problems as they do them. I find this to be the most effective way of tutoring as I am able to identify weaknesses and help turn them into strengths. I am a licensed CPA in the state of PA. I have been tutoring accounting for approximately 6 years now and have tutored a diverse group of individuals from undergraduate business majors to MBA students. I believe heavily in face-to-face teaching and always try my hardest to ensure that my students understand the material so that they are able to take it back with them to the class rooms and succeed on exams.

In caring and teaching health to young people I have acquired the ability to help them learn as well as aiding in their near-point vision, which is a big factor in reading. I have found that many young people today do not have good near- point vision due to exposure to television in their pre-school years, beside perhaps lack of being read to at this time. patience mainly in securing rapport with a student.

I believe that engaging children with activites that are of interest to them automatically opens up a world of development! Find out how they learn whether that be audibly or cognitively etc. and that child is usually set up for success. And also learning through play can develop critical thinking and social skills. It is important as an educator to take the time to know your student(s) because each one learns differently. I have nearly twenty years of experience engaging with pre-school to eighth grade children. My work has primarily been with special needs students ADD, Asperberger syndrome, autism, emotionally and socially challenged students in a classroom setting. However, I've also lead small groups and one to one activities specific to literacy and writing skills at elementary level. Upon receiving my degree I took a job as Assistant Director at a local daycare with a small staff.
