I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a doctoral candidate in pedagogy at Montclair State University and employed as an adjunct professor of Philosophy at Raritan Valley Community College.
I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to ... read more

I am a recent graduate of West Chester University with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Currently I am a part time substitute for Central Bucks School District, and hope to be a tutor in my spare time. My tutoring experience includes tutoring a girl who primarily spoke Spanish but was fluent in English and teaching her to read and write. I also help students when I substitute in the classroom setting with their classwork.
I believe that each child has their own individual style of learning. Every child learns in a different way and therefore can definitely benefit from individual attention. The best way to help children learn and grow is by gradually encouraging them to love to learn. One of my techniques as an educator is to search for ways that each child can connect with their work and their learning so that they begin to want to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching children and adults is a very rewarding experience. I tailor my lessons to each person, taking under consideration their learning styles. I am very patient and take my time with each student. I like to praise and encourage each individual for their hard work.
I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in History, and spent some time overseas studying music. My BA in History made me into a strong writer and critical thinker. My experience overseas helped my improve my italian skills and also achieve an understanding about other cultures. It also made me understand the value of learning a new language and the challenges ESL speakers must face when attempting to learn English. I have tutored several students from many countries ESL, taught music, Italian, French, Reading and Grammar.

I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching.
I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell produc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked extensively with children and adults in the study of a variety of different subjects. I am very patient, friendly, and considerate. I am a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable and fun process that engages the student to think both critically and creatively. I strive to connect with every student on an individual level as I believe that everyone has a different way of learning and that, as a teacher, it is crucial to be flexible and creative in the way you teach. Many of my teachers have had a huge impact in my life, and I in turn, strive to make a difference in the lives of all of my students.

I am a life long learner and model that for my students. Assessing the academic strengths and areas to work on for each child is a strength of mine. I believe that teaching needs to encompass the whole child; the cognitive, emotional, social, and academic needs for each student must be addressed and nurtured. Every student can learn. The teacher is the "guide on the side" who draws out the best in her students. I strive to be that facilitator to learning for all of the childrn with whom I work.
I have been a professional educator for 26 years. I began by teaching at the Early Childhood level as a preschool teacher and music/drama/movement specialist for seventeen years. For the past nine years I have worked as an Elementary School Teacher with regular and special ed. students.

As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for most of my classes. I can see why students are missing the concept and I am creative enough to devise new approaches.
I am a successful graduate of Susquehanna University, having earned a BA in International Studies. This study of cultural anthropology allowed me ample experience with writing, grammar, and research.

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my teaching experiences I have had the opportunity to work with numerous students with a variety of learning styles. My undergraduate experiences in Inclusive Education have influenced my beliefs in differentiating instruction, as I feel that my responsibility as a teacher is to adapt and modify instruction to best fit the needs of all my students. I feel very strongly that every student should be given the chance to learn in a safe environment where teaching strategies are implemented that include individual's strengths in order to best support their needs. In addition, I find it essential to motivate and encourage students in all subject areas.
My past experiences as a studying elementary and special education teacher include multiple classroom settings in both urban and suburban school districts. My time spent in numerous classroom settings has motivated me to value t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe it is extremely important to build a relationship with each student that I work with. Understanding each individual's skills and abilities helps differentiate instruction to vary and adapt my instructional approaches to meet diverse needs. I recently finished my student teaching experience, which I found to be extremely fulfilling. I truly learned the importance of building strong connections with each individual student, as well as their families. Understanding the needs and interests of each child has allowed me to differentiate learning to meet the skills and abilities of the class as a whole.

A Little Bit About Me...

Since beginning my studies in the creative writing program at Purchase College in 2004, writing and literature have become the number one passion and focus of my life. I have been fortunate to study with distinguished lecturers, professors and publishing poets from universities like Columbia and Harvard in the the small program at Purchase, like William Wadsworth, Cecily Parks, and Monica Ferrell. Last month I was recognized for my dedication to poetry and the creative writing program by the faculty when I was awarded the Friends of Humanities American Society of Poetry Senior Prize. I think this is partly due to how I have continued to challenge and encourage my peers to excel and develop at love of literature and writing like I have. I aspire to earn an MFA and eventually teach English and Creative Writing at the university level. I feel that being a English and Writing tutor wou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate student at Immaculata University, I have learned what it means to be an effective teacher. I will be student-teaching 11th and 12th grade English at Renaissance Academy in the fall. I have also been hired as the head men's golf coach at Valley Forge Christian College and have worked with kids of all ages at my church for the past 3 years. Additionally, I have worked as a band coach at the Rock & Roll After School in Phoenixville.
I firmly believe in affirming the gifts/talents in each child that I come in contact with. I believe that by working hard and being creative that I can inspire your child to achieve his/her goals. I am assertive, creative and encouraging. My number one goal is to get to know who I am working with and focus on their strengths.
