I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas. As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

My undergraduate degree of Communication allowed me to use my knowledge and skills of writing, editing, and publishing as a springboard towards my true passion of teaching and working with adolescents. As a public school teacher with six years experience, both in Pennsylvania and Delaware, I have worked with various types of learners, IEPs, testing situations, and curricula. I also have six years experience in tutoring and homebound instruction. I believe that education is continuous and requires participation by all involved parties, meaning students must be active and constant participants in their education as well as the teacher. I also understand that no two individuals learn in exactly the same manner causing my methods as a teacher to constantly change to best fit the needs of the individual. All students, children, adults, etc. can learn if given the right environment, support, a

I believe students, regardless of their individual learning style, can be successful in their academic pursuits. My approach to teaching focuses upon the individual student and his/her needs. Education is the key to opportunity and advancement. I pride myself on helping students recognize the importance of reading and writing as a means of their own advancement and the platform to achieve their academic and professional goals, whatever they may be. I am a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University, earning a BA in Public Health Studies. During my time at Johns Hopkins I interned in clinical research at the School of Medicine, where I served as research coordinator for a study in adolescent women's health within the department of pediatrics. My academic pursuits and experience in clinical research required solid writing skills and the ability to compose academic research papers, laborato

Over the past twenty years of classroom teaching, I have discovered that many children have different styles of learning. I have taken a few classes on Differential Instruction, and I am aware of different learning needs. Patience is paramount in working with older students who get frustrated when they do not get a concept easily The research writing class at Groves was very demanding; yet, I had twenty some students qualify to receive their CEA3 certificates and graduate from high school. it is my firm belief that all children CAN learn. Having grown up in a family where education was highly valued. not only did I desire to attain my own college degree, but I was strongly devoted to the idea of helping educate others. My B.A. is in English with a concentration in secondary education. Initially, I chose to teach in Catholic elementary schools which included teaching and learning techni

I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "through the maze" and carry the message to the brain. I try to use practical and relevant examples whenever I can and appeal to the student's personal frame of reference so the goal of really "learning" versus "memorizing" can be met. I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year

I love talking to students. I endeavor to let each student know that I care and am willing to go the extra mile to help he, or she, "get it"! I want to "connect". I have a terrific sense of humor, and try to keep my students smiling. I think we learn more, through laughter. I try to keep everyone relaxed. I try to keep everything real. (I've realized that we learn, more easily, when we can apply what we are learning, to our every day lives.) I encourage questions. I want my students to realize that when they are with me, in the classroom, they are safe, i.e., it is OKAY to make mistakes! It's encouraged! How can we learn, if we don't "open up"? I won't give up -- on any student. I have been writing for 30 years; I have been published over 200 times, in approximately 106 periodicals. In 2008, samples of my earliest writings, as well as recent-front page articles, from the

I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would feel comfortable with me. Students sometimes feel too vulnerable to try things when they don't know someone because they do not want to make mistakes. I would let them know that the only way to get better at something is to make mistakes so they can learn from those mistakes by making the appropriate corrections. Confidence is key. Positive work ethics allow me to help and give students the confidence necessary to complete anything put before them. Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading an

Tutoring is as personally a rewarding experience as learning. My philosophy is to help students understand that learning and becoming better writers, readers, and thinkers—better people, in fact—is something worth striving for. I have the patience, dedication, and knowledge necessary to help students articulate and meet their own goals, and I encourage them to ask questions and share ideas and opinions. The fresh environment I help foster is one of creativity, humor, and mutual respect. I welcome all students from diverse backgrounds, different majors and ages, who need help drafting, editing, researching and revising. One’s education is priceless, and I believe that all of my students can reach their potential and discover their own voice. As a graduate from Rowan University’s MA in Writing, I tutored in one-on-one sessions students in history, business, political science, English, crea

I feel my teaching style is student-centered, enthusiastic, and focused. I love working with children and young adults. My extensive coaching background allows me the skill of being able to motivate and build a child's self esteem by setting realistic academic goals. Children reach their fullest potential when tasks are challenging, but not overwhelming. Through guidance and positive reinforcement, students can far exceed what they ever thought possible. I taught 9th and 10th grade English at the Secondary level at Washington Twp. High School for two years, as well as completed my student teaching there. I left when I got married to teach in Maryland for four years, and then moved home again. I tutored for approximately a year and then found a job at Clayton High School. I taught 7th, 8th and all high school level Special Education English classes as well as 7th grade Regular Ed. Engl

I have a differentiated style of teaching. I like to use a variety of methods while I teach to engage all students. Being that I teach a language, I try to target all four areas: oral, aural, reading and writing. I have been teaching in the New Jersey public school system since 2005. I teach Spanish and I have taught grades six through twelve. Currently, I am teaching at a local county college. Also, I have experience teaching in various demographics which has made me more empathetic to a variety of students.

I believe that education is the key to success for young students. As a teacher, I motivate students by ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering that truly inspires them. I beleive that all children are different adn can learn if Differential Instruction i implemented in the classroom.
