Certified in Secondary Social Studies Education (7-12)

Everybody deserves a safe and equal opportunity to enhance his or her knowledge. It is imperative that teachers create a classroom environment in which every student feels as though he or she is valued, belongs, and can make a contribution without fearing ridicule or humiliation. Students will feel more confident and will be more willing to take chances if a comfortable learning environment has been established. Part of creating a comfortable learning environment depends entirely on the teacher’s personality. If the student feels as though the teacher is open, honest, sincere and caring, he or she will not only respect the teacher more, but will also feel comfortable learning from that particular teacher. I have been able to establish very good rapport with my students, and because of this, many students have been willing to go the extra mile on my behalf. Establishing good rappo ... read more

Throughout my life, I have always had an ability to talk with and to listen to adolescents. Regardless of a student’s academic aptitude, socio-economic status, or learning differences, I honestly believe that each student has the ability and the right to learn about the world around them and to be helped by adults in their life-path and individual growth. As a teacher planning lessons, I deliberately infuse the learning with opportunities for student choice, intellectual growth, and explorations into interconnected themes, ideas, and questions. I know that all students can be highly successful, if provided the opportunity to interact with engaged and thoughtful teachers.
As a person who truly values learning, I have continuously engaged in being both a student and a teacher in academically rigorous studies. With over 14 years of professional education experience, including hig ... read more

As a new teacher, I believe all students can succeed in academics. I will incorporate hands-on activities and use connections to your child's everyday life, in order to produce independent and active learners. I will also present curriculum in an assortment of lessons and activities, in an exciting and interesting manner. Furthermore, I will provide differentiation to meet student needs in order to maximize their learning progress.I will instill the importance of learning, not just for memorization and what can be learned, but also for what they can experience. I hope that my expectation for success in their lives forever encourages my students to do their best.

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English. My experiences were wonderful as I met people who really enjoyed learning English and needed it for work. After 6 months I returned to the states and taught at a Junior High School on the Lower eastside of NYC. I left teaching after 10 years to market computers. My skills as an educator served me well and I did extremely well. After approximately 8 years I decided I wanted to go back to teaching, and have been teaching the use of computers. I enjoy helping individuals to increase their skills and achieve success!
As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor. Listening and watching how people learn, wh ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I stress teaching fundamental principles through an interactive teaching style where students actively participate in learning and solving problems. It is important that students understand fundamental concepts. Relying solely on rote memorization of facts will not lead to success science and math. For younger students I use hands-on demonstrations and visual aids as tools to teach basic scientific principles in a fun and active environment. For more advanced students I teach how to apply fundamental principles to solve problems. I work through typical example problems with them to illustrate practical application of principles. I then ask students to solve problems themselves to develop and ensure understanding.
I have 28 years experience as a successful professional scientist as well as many years experience teaching and tutoring Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and As ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. I have been a Substitute teacher in Hampden County, MA and most recently worked as a Counselor for a group home in which the children needed support on a daily basis with their schoolwork. What I have gained from these experiences is that any child can succeed with patience and with the right resources. Striving to make a difference in a student's life is a goal of mine and I welcome the opportunity.
I have earned a Bachelors Degree in History which has enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sociology and geography. In addition, I'm a native Portuguese speaker and am able to understand, speak and read, Spanish and French. During the last 3 years, I have tutored students in Portuguese, Spanish and French and assisted elementary students with their homework assignments.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that most students that seek out the extra help of a tutor have a much greater capacity to learn than they realize. It is upon that belief that all of my tutoring is centered around. My long term goal for most students is to show them how to be self-learners so that at some point they tell me to stop coming because they don't need a tutor anymore. This is done primarily by weaving study skills and tips into the lessons. This helps the students be more efficient with their studying. I also spend a lot of time de-mystifying the subject material. This makes the material easier to understand, which in turn improves the student's self-confidence, which in turn makes the next set of material easier for the student to learn. It becomes a never-ending upward spiral that eventually leads to the student being successful on his/her own without the need to rely on constant extra help ... read more

My teaching style incorporates many different modes in realizing that children learn in all different ways. I try to incorporate as many different types of learning styles as I can into lessons, using visual, auditory and hands on approaches. I am an understanding person and realize that students of all ages do not always comprehend something the first time it is taught to them. I will put in the time and effort to ensure that the child’s specific targeted areas of needs are addressed. I only want what is best for the student and will do whatever it takes to ensure that students I work with are reaching their set goals. I love working with children and I think teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs there is!

Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years. While living in Connecticut I tutored homebound high school age children who were either out on medical leave or expelled for disciplinary purposes. I am proud to report that in addition to several other students, I provided tutoring for a full course load covering an entire year for one expelled student who improved grades in every course and went on to graduate. I have also created training programs and hired and trained numerous employees in the insurance industry and serve as co-chair for an annual insurance educational conference held in New York City. While my degree is in English, I enjoy and excel in math and other courses as well.
