A Little Bit About Me...

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

My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity Investments for five years now to something I have a passion for, teaching children. I passed the MTEL exams and am working towards my license. I'm very excited to begin this journey and would be extremely appreciative for an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience. I believe my MBA in Business, BA in Management, minor in Leadership as well as my HR Cert has provided me with the level of education needed to tutor. Every subject I can tutor: Economics, Finance, Math and English, I received honors in College for as well as completed MBA coursework in the subjects.
I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspec ... read more

Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress. My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world.
I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons. I helped students with a variety of subjects such as science, math, social studies, geography, and even organizational skills. I worked with children from all walks of life, including kids with disabilities. During my time at Breakthrough I also spent two days a week tutoring mentally disabled adults. I helped them with basic math and reading skills, as well as life skills.
I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I ... read more

My experience with tutoring, employee training and working with my own two children has shown me that there are many different learning styles and paces. It is exciting to find that key for each person and watch their growth and development through learning. Up front, I believe it is important to understand the goals of the student and their family and then focus on providing the support necessary to see them achieve and exceed those goals.
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 ... read more

As I carry out my personal philosophy of education, I seek to make learning lifelong and to encourage children to become contributing and active members of our society. To that end, it is my hope to make it possible for all children to gain understanding of material, to think critically about what they are learning, and to be able to apply their learning to everyday life and to their futures. I believe it is the role of the teacher to help students recognize their abilities and lead them towards life choices that use those abilities to the fullest. Often, we, as adults, have forgotten what we learned in school. This saddens me and motivates me to teach children skills and techniques that will benefit them now and in the future.
My interest in academia is rooted in my desire to help children learn and to make that learning lifelong. It is my goal to make learning fun, purposeful, ... read more

I earned my degree in Human Services from Virginia Wesleyan College, after graduating I returned to Massachusetts and took several classes towards a Masters degree at Anna Maria College. During this time I worked as a substitute teacher for the Spencer/East Brookfield school district and Leicester schools. I was also employed by the Spencer schools as an in home tutor working with the school, teachers and students unable to attend school due to injury or behavioral difficulty in the schools. I had students in all grades 1 through 12 and in a wide range of subjects and held this position for 4 years until I moved out of state.
My style of teaching involves real learning. I believe that all students have the ability to learn new concepts and facts if the teaching is made fun and personal. Teaching why and how the information can be put to use helps student retain the knowledge lo ... read more

I believe all children can learn, but each in their own ways. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the child a structured environment where they can find their greatest academic potential and work on what they want to do when they leave school. I am a firm believer in learning through self-discovery and to a lesser degree drills. I am also a firm believer in transition from school to school and from school to career. I believe all children can find their potential if they are given the chances, time and experience they need. A few good teachers can change a child’s life and educational potential. . I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I enjoy teaching and working with all children (especially the E.D., at- risk and problem students) and available to help your children find academic success.
I have taught a wide variety of subjects ... read more

I feel that I excel in putting myself in the student's shoes. By trying to understand their thought process, I can best teach by making sure the student follows the logic of the subject. I have always believed that allowing the student to reach understandings through subtle guidance by the teacher is the best process. This method allows students to retain information better and feel more comfortable with the material.
I have always enjoyed both the humanities and sciences. At Virginia Tech, I majored in Philosophy and Minored in Statistics and Business. Since graduation, I have worked primarily in an engineering setting performing statistical analysis and other tasks typically performed by a test & validation engineer. Next fall I am starting a masters program at Northeastern University for Industrial Engineering. I have substitute taught for the Hopkinton Public School syst ... read more

My experience in working with children is diverse. I have tutored in schools and homes. I have taught 4th and 5th graders and am now teaching 1 - 3 year olds with autism. I have worked with children and adults with various physical and mental needs. These experiences have developed my creativity and understanding of the individual needs of each child. I am patient, eager to teach, and organized. I am confident that each child can learn if their needs are understood and met. I am a strong supporter of consistency in discipline and believe that children desire to learn. My objective is to utilize my educational, instructional and classroom management experience to edify each child as a valuable citizen in our nation’s communities.
