I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned.

By working closely with other professionals, I have been able to put into practice many of the educational theories and figure out how they work best with my style of teaching and the students with whom I work.

I also did a research study to improve behavior, reduce anxiety and stress and enhance academic performance with the use of biofeedback software. Last year, I worked as a Special Education teacher where I was able to take advantage of many professional development opportunties. I was trained in Orton-Gillingham, which I used as part of a reading program that improve reading scores immensely.

I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental school and has his own practice! My background in science and math, as well as human psychology, enables me not only to teach the curriculum, but also to understand those academic areas which are common roadblocks to many students. I am motivated to bring knowledge, model tenacity and give hope to my students. It is a thrill to help a student who is struggling with a subject and see him/her become comfortable and begin to enjoy the academic journey. I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college

My philosophy has always been that all children can learn when you are able to find the learning style they are most comfortable and successful with. These include visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic. Once the learning style of a child is established, I can adapt my teaching methods accordingly to achieve given goals. I consider myself a kind, understanding, patient professional with an excellent work ethic, who is committed to helping children with their educational success. During the last 26 years, I have had full responsibility as a classroom teacher in grades 2, 3 and 4. I have written and implemented lesson plans in all elementary subject areas, assessed students closely, recorded their assessments on report cards and satisfactorily conferenced with parents whenever the need.
