Bringing fun and learning together to achieve success!

Many years of experience teaching, working, and tutoring children of all ages. Every child learns in a different way. I want to be able to find the best way and help children have fun while learning. It is important to establish what learning method works best for a child before teaching can take place. A child will be successful if they are having fun and learning in a style that they feel comfortable with.
Hands on learning, use of technology, books, group learning, creative role play of different ways to solve problems.

I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences.
I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be j ... read more

Understanding the learning habits of an individual is the key to relating to the student and making positive changes in those habits. I'm patient and empathetic, which helps me find methods to tailoring strategies unique to the student. Attempting to conform an individual to one predescribed style is the reason they're left behind in the first place. There is nothing more gratifying than the look of revelation on a student's face when he or she finds the key to true understanding.
2008 Graduate in English from Boston College. My experiences with capable and engaged teachers help me hone my written and verbal skills, the reason I chose to major in English. Throughout high school, I was proficient in not only these skills, but also Mathematics and History, which led me to sample many related classes in college.

My colleagues and clients continually tell me that I am the only lawyer who has been able to explain complicated issues in a manner that was easily understandable. I find that the Socratic method (individual discovery) works well with motivated interested clients. I am patient and have a laid back style that permits active participation in the process. While I have no formal teaching experience, my work as a mentor should enable me to to make a substantial difference in the lives of the children I who are seeking assistance in the art of written communication.
As an attorney I have spent the better part of my career mentoring co-workers and educating clients. As a litigator, I have drafted countless legal documents including pleadings motions and appellate briefs. As a result I have gained substantial insight into the art of persuasive writing.

More About This Tutor...

I had a wonderful experience attending MSMC.I learned a wide variety of skills and techniques throughout the Psychology teachings as well as about the intriguing study of Psychology itself. There were many opportunities to examine and research philosophies and perform actual research as a team. I had the experience of learning a long side other students, however, I did tutor other fellow classmates at various times throughout my educational career in many venues.
I truly enjoy presenting people with ideas and having them gain the knowledge and capacity to gain the intended results. I have taught and mentored people within my work setting as well. My preference has always been to allow someone to think of ideas after you give them the tools they need; it becomes both productive and rewarding at the same time.

I do enjoy helping anyone write a well developed and educated paper on the topic at hand. My specific style of teaching, especially for the 8th grade, is to read the current book being used, and then present my lesson with lecture, interactive discussion and comprehension, based on the age and grade of the student. I like to put the lesson into terms that the age group can relate to, and then assign a memory technique that will teach the students to recall the proper answer by using the examples we have discussed in class. That is the same method that I use myself when I need to write a paper. I read it, analyze it, comprehend it, and then write a paper based on what I can relate it too. This technique is very effective when teaching religion, and I have taught my students to use the same technique when attending academic study.

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to teaching and providing learning opportunities for all ages, from preschool through adults (including those with special needs), in a variety of settings, I am the author of 30 nonfiction books, including those on how to study and take tests, how to participate in class, and how to achieve life-goals step by step. I work as an editor and have assisted writers at various stages in successfully producing their own work. As a specialist in public communications, I am experienced in finding ways to make productive connections with others. This ability carries over into my new career as a counselor, where I practice skills that enhance my success in helping others to achieve their goals, including academic success.
In my experience, the approach that works best with all ages is to form a cooperative bond to make the effort more a “we” project than a “you-must-do-this” on ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My reason for pursuing a job well suited to my skills and experience in tutoring as a means of providing a source of supplementing my income has been a continuing objective in my efforts to do what I do best. I am a Certified and Registered Public School Teaching Assistant in the state of New York and I have experience tutoring and teaching in secondary and elementary schools in the capacity as tutor of students both individually and in the traditional classroom setting. French is my preferred area of tutoring proficiency.
I have found in my own experience that removing a students fear of making mistakes reassures them that without making mistakes one cannot expect to truly learn and understand. After establishing this common ground with my students I have seen a dramatic increase in their self-confidence, desire and motivation to succeed and achieve. Conveying knowledge comfortabl ... read more

Flexibility is the key to my methodology as I understand that not all of us learn in the same ways and that to achieve the desired result, identifying the students optimal learning style leads to continued learning success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I do not have a lot of experience in the teaching field but I am a natural born teacher. I have been a mentor to many people in my life; friends, co-workers, even family members would say the same. If given the opportunity I will be able to grow with and enjoy the success of all my students. We will indulge in the passion of education!
I am a very interactive, do-it-yourself kind of educator. There is nothing more liberating and inspiring than understanding and recognizing the limitlessness of one's own ability. With just the right push from me, our children can reach unbeleivably great heights!

During the past five years I have worked as a professional communicator. My job has been to take a very complicated weather forecast and turn it into something simple, fun, and understandable.Every week school was in session for the past three years I visited children to speak about weather, and how it affects their lives.For two years I spent my mornings and afternoons before work at the television station substitute teaching.I averaged 2-3 days a week, and worked throughout various grade levels in a city school district.
As a meteorologist visiting students I split my time up between lecture, group activities, visual experiments, and exciting weather video. I even had a section where the children helped me forecast and could stand in front of the camera and report the weather. I designed this lesson plan on purpose to hit on all the different learning needs of the students. Du ... read more

I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable. I consider each student individually, and I evaluate what works best for that student in particular. I am trained in various forms of teaching, and I have a complete understanding of the various learning personalities and characteristics of students that I have worked with and will work with in the future.
I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17.

I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have several years experience working with children and adults in the education field. The students I have taught at the college level ranged from late teens to early 30s. As I have worked with such a wide range of ages I am familiar with the needs of students in each age group I have taught. I work with the student to understand the areas in which they are not as strong or confident and work with them to develop a method of studying and learning that works best for them. I believe that one of the most beneficial methods of learning material is to relate the material to something the student may be more familiar with or something with which they can relate.

I have developed a system of learning through discovery that enables students to understand how to learn. This provides them with the opportunity to utilize these strategies no matter where life will take them. Some of these strategies may include live event learning, research based learning, technology enhanced learning, in addition to simple strategies such as comprehension, recall and differentiated learning.
As an educator of 15 years, I consider it my responsibility to find interesting ways to enable all students to learn. No matter what the subject, there is always a way to entice a student to want to learn. The goal, from my perspective is to get students to be interested in learning. It's not just the specific subject you may be studying, but a lifelong desire to learn. I have had the privilege of working with students ranging from Elementary to College, as well as w ... read more
