Dyslexia is one of my top subjects! Trained in Orton-Gillingham approach to literacy and experienced in using multi-sensory techniques to aid learning

Having been trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to literacy, I have extensive experience in working with students with learning needs. In particular, I am experienced and passionate in teaching students with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia. I am a strong believer in using a multi-sensory approach in learning, whether it be for a beginner learner or for an older student. I have extensive experience in using synthetic phonics and reading programs such as Reading A-Z, and I aim to make my lessons enjoyable in order to make it achievable.

A Little Bit About Me...

My education at NYU and my Bachelor of Science degree, gave me a solid foundation because I had the knowledge and confidence upon which to build my teaching career. The classes and student teaching experience exposed me to a wide range of teaching styles and demographics. After having my own family, my empathy and understanding of children increased in a positive way. I especially have enjoyed working with the developmentally disabled hand have helped them achieve goals that once seemed impossible to obtain. My people skills have kept me available to keep an open line of communication between the school and the family.
I have taught many different students from all types of backgrounds, from gifted to learning disabled. The reason I have success with these students is because I make learning fun and relevant. I develop creative tools that are of interest to that particular st ... read more

I find that each person has a different learing style and try to find out what works for them. I also teach them that organization of thoughts and ideas are helpful in how they approach learning. I relate the subject matter to what is needed to learn and to something that they can relate to. I believein repetition and that all people can learn if someone takes the time to find out their individual learning style. I find helping other learn and be successful very rewarding to me and would love the opportunity to do so with your students.

While at West Chester University, I had to take Statistics and Probability and that was because I was in the excelled Math program in high school. I had all Math courses up to and including Advanced Algebra. While attending Adirondack Community College, I had to take a Medical Math course that covered many conversions.
I love teaching and working with children and adults. I, myself have achieved a high level of excellence in education by completing two degrees and plan on completing my BS in Nursing. I believe in teaching through demonstration and by providing an optimal atmosphere for learning. I strive to make a difference in other peoples' lives and that is why I chose to become a nurse.

A Little Bit About Me...

Growing up I dealt with dyslexia. I understand that each and every kid has a different learning style and not one style is better then the rest. My goal is to make learning as much fun as possible by pin-pointing the learning style of the student and finding ways to make learning more interesting. My most important goal is to teach children that everyone has the skills to excel and that learning can be fun. More importantly, I want children to understand that though their learning style may be different from his/her classmates it does not make them any less smart.
Last May I graduated from Skidmore College with a degree in history. My passion for history has been driven by my voracious appetite for knowledge. Writing, reading, and critical thinking are of the utmost importance to me. Education is not only a means of acquiring future jobs but of a creating a nation of critical think ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a creative approach to learning that appeals to all styles of learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
Currently, I work for the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa school districts as a home instructor for grades 6 to 12. I enjoy working with the kids one on one and feel wonderful about helping them stay up to date with their school work until they are physically able to return to the regular classroom setting. Aside from home instruction, I also work regularly as a substitute for Saratoga County schools, and have built up a great working relationship with all faculty and students in each building that I am assig ... read more

I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything.
How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blowe ... read more

When students have both an academic instructor and a caring educator they are provided with a unique learning experience and able to learn and grow as an individual. Each child deserves a right to a fair education, and it is my number one priority as an educator to provide that. The impact a teacher makes on a child can last forever. Children may forget some of the facts they were taught, but they will always remember how the teacher interacted with them. In my eyes every child is a gift and though they may not all learn the same, or act the same; every one of them deserves to be treated with respect and provided with a meaningful learning experience.
Besides my formal degrees, I believe it is my experience that makes me highly qualified for a tutoring position. My experiences include working in rural, urban and suburban school districts. I have also worked with children with disab ... read more

As a Buffalo State graduate, I have received Dean's List award. I have earned two Master Degrees, Master of Social Science in Public Administration and Master of Science in Reading that helped me to teach to the students who face difficulties in the content area reading. I am exposed to and trained with numerous research-based reading programs such as Reading Recovery, Fountas and Pinnell GRL, and more. As an AIS teacher, I pull out students to teach math and reading skills. Currently, I teach ESL to the adult students as well.
I am blessed that I am not academically extremely intelligent. Otherwise, I could never be sympathetic to the students who struggle processing various concepts. This thought brings me to the scientist Einstein, who says, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." I believe in being persistent, consistent, and have patience ... read more

My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning is an experience that should be enjoyed and given praise, compassion, kindness, and consistency helps one learn and discover their academic success. I have made many differences in student's lives, as they have taught me learning experiences that I will never forget. I am expressive, funny, and love to teach.
Sine high school, I have worked with children in BOCES. However, I started college later in life, after children and marriage. I wanted to provide my children with an education that I couldn't afford since I knew nothing of grants in 1974. I started with my AA and did not s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a professional educator, I am dedicated to seeing all students succeed. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in History and a BA in English, as well as New York State certification and my MAT Social Studies. I have tutored throughout my academic career, and continue to teach and tutor in a wide variety of subjects.
I am a strong believer in Multiple Intelligences. I know that first I must learn who my students are and how they learn if I am to teach them successfully. I employ the Socratic method often possible, and keep lessons as student-centered as possible. I frequently make use of the students' interests and technology to engage them. Students thrive when they see the usefulness of what they are learning, and when techniques are adapted to their needs.

I have always enjoyed working with young people. I take the time needed to assess each student's learning styles and I am well versed in what works for students of each type (visual, oral, kinesthetic and their subcategories). I am patient and use the student's strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses. I believe that a student can learn what ever is required of them if the teacher takes the time to work with the student. It is important to me that my students and I become a team in their learning and that the student is comfortable asking questions and sharing their difficulties so that I can understand the student's needs. If more educators were given the time to do the needed assessments, our students would be more successful.

Having recently completed a dual Masters degree in Childhood Education and Special Education, I have had the pleasure of working with children in grades 1 - 6 in both special education and general education settings. I have taught the gifted and talented, children with learning disabilities, those on the autism spectrum, and students with physical disabilities. This Masters program, which I have completed with a 3.98 GPA, has allowed me to further hone my already well-developed grammatical and writing skills. Furthermore, in 2006, I completed my Bachelors degree (Cum Laude) in Psychology, with a Minor in English, which has provided me with a unique and valuable ability to understand students’ cognitive and emotional development.
