Throughout my 25 years working in business, I have enjoyed many opportunities to train, mentor and coach colleagues one on one. Many have been from another culture which adds to the delight of the learning experience as we work together. I originally trained as a tutor in the Rockingham County GED program in Exeter. I worked with a series of adult learners tutoring each in English and Math. I also tutored a high school teenager for whom English was her second language. We primarily discussed math and geography. My strength is working one on one. Additionally I teach children in Sunday school and in preparation for field trips as we travel around New England studying early American and church history. I love math and thick it is fun! I enjoy facilitating the ah ha moments when a learner gets it! I direct the student by asking questions and encouraging them to develop an understanding

Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter.

I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statistics and economics. Relating the ephemeral to the practical is important, and later allows for the information to be used in a real world setting much, much easier. I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics m

I have been helping students improve their skills since 1989, and there is nothing that thrills me more than a student's "aha!" moment, when everything they are trying to learn just clicks for them. For the past several years I have taught introductory critical thinking and basic essay-writing; students come to me when they have difficulty finding the words for what is in their heads, and I work with them one-on-one to help them express their analyses. I have assisted many students in writing college acceptance essays, term papers, book reviews, and all other written assignments. I know how to help students establish good work habits and systematize their work for less drama-filled, more successful academic experiences. My skills, which I learned in the Education Bachelor's degree program at the University of Connecticut, emphasize the development of critical thinking and clear expressi

Upon my return to college I became very interested in education and feel I need to help students stay in school and to be a mentor for students who need extra help with reading and comprehension, and self esteem. I have achieved to graduate Cum Laude after being out of school for 35 years. I love to encourage and reward students for their efforts. I want what I teach to be fun and become something they want to learn rather than some thing they have to do.

My style is to let the student have the freedom to expand their own imagination, I want my students to feel what

I believe any child can learn. My passion is to help your child become successful by helping them to read with comprehension, write clearly, compute accurately, think, reason, and use information to solve problems; and allow them to become responsible, independent learners. I believe in the hands-on approach to teaching and learning and use the best practices to select the best learning method. I want to make a difference in the lives of all the children I come in contact with and teach; to help them take that first step towards making their dreams and goals a reality. As a valued member of the ANA faculty and team I continually worked to lift the standards and proficiency of all the students that I taught both directly and indirectly to prepare them for the rigors of high school and college.

Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning. Whatever the case may be, a high level of patience, understanding and gentle persistence is necessary in order for the child to feel as though they are making progress and not get discouraged. I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher. My professional business background, entrepreneurial s
