Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I

I love teaching and working with children and young adults. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to learn, but it’s just a matter of which way works best for them. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide a strong commitment to enhancing and supporting the education of a child. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. My style of tutoring involves the delivery of a one on one service focused on learning and skills development. As a graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Crime, Law, & Justice, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, English, histor

As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics. I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor.

I began my college career at Columbia University, N.Y. where I matriculated in the top 5% of entrants. I moved to Africa where I lived and returned 10 years later. I joined the United Nations where I worked at headquarters New York and later as a field officer in the Middle East and South Africa. Part of my assignment during my stay in the Middle East was to teach the local staff English. As a member of the diplomatic corps to Namibia, Southwest Africa, my task was to draft the preliminary paper to be presented at the General Assembly in respect of the independence of that country. I returned to the U.S. and worked as executive assistant to Bradford Morse, the Administrator of the United Nations Development program. I moved to Australia thereafter and worked as the Assistant Cultural Affairs Office, U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia (the nation's capital). During this period I co

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 helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener. 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 doctora

I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who have problems focusing. In my time at the University of Pittsburgh I've learned different methods of tutoring peers. However, I do maintain one principle: positivity. No particular student will feel like they made any progress if they do not receive encouragement for their progress. When a student feels like they can observe their own progress, they feel better about themselves. My goal is to explain, encourage, and focus the student until they master the material. I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual-major in English Writing and History. These two branches of academia shaped and built my ability to write concise, intellectual, pi

I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!) I have a collection of toys and noisemakers that I use in the classroom. My classroom is visually dynamic and inviting. My goal is for my students to enter to learn with smiles on their faces, and anticipation for learning something fascinating. I love to lead them to daily "Aha" moments of discovery. My sense of humor and use of cartoons maintains an involvement high. I strategize with my kids to examine the many different ways to learn, in appreciation of their various learning styles. My students are empowered to question and learn more than required. By building their trust in me, and knowing that I sincerely love being with them, true learning hap

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs. I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

Throughout my teaching career, I have seen many students who learn in a variety of different ways. Because I realize that no one student learns in the same way, I try to use a variety of different methods in my teaching. One day may be simple lecture, while another day might be a hands on project. I also believe that kids learn visually, and I try to utilize technology whenever possible in the classroom. I very much enjoy teaching, and I have established a positive rapport with my students. I believe that students need to understand that their teachers care about their success, yet still offer them constructive criticism. A graduate of the College of New Jersey and the University of Scranton, I have received my degree in Social Studies Education and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve. Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Science, a
