Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in East Arlington, VT

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 Blower, Jew

I have always been a very direct teacher. What I mean by that is I am very clear on what my goals are in a classroom from the very first day I begin. I let all of the students know what my expectations are, and what dissapoints me. I know that each child is different. I have always been willing to take the time to support those students who need extra attention, whether it be before or after school. Every student is capable of learning, but not every student is willing. Part of my job is to encourage them to choose the right path to their success. Throughout the years, I have had many experiences in the field of education. I began my experience in the classroom as a student teacher at Syracuse University. My first assignment was a 12th grade classroom as a freshman in college. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding experience that taught me how to discipline and gain respect from

I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning. I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based.

I have been Involved in the teaching and tutoring of academic subjects for the past 6 years of my life. I have a true passion for instilling the same love for education that I possess in my students. I have worked in about 9 different educational, tutoring, or mentoring facilities both before and after I graduated with my biology teaching certificate. I have used these experiences to not only develop my teaching strategies but to truly understand what makes a student want to learn. I have learned that constantly showing a student that learning IS fun will increase their will to do work and be successful. Through my teaching experience I have found it necessary to differentiate my teaching styles in order to be an effective teacher. Most often than not I have found that being a facilitator rather than a dictator is most beneficial to learning. I have learned that if students

I realize the importance a child’s academic instruction plays in their future. I am well prepared, seeing as I have a B.A in English, to provide my students with a concrete and enticing curriculum. I have witnessed and engaged in remarkable teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of educational settings, in which I learned various ways to create an energizing and productive learning environment that will promote a genuine interest in English and all of its wondrous offerings. All of my principals, department heads, and other members of the faculty have recognized that I have created constructive changes in students’ academic and overall attitudes and performance. I believe that my intense energy, exceptional education, experience and ability to motivate every child in my class combine to make me a teacher who is ready and dedicated to help her stu
