ELL, Reading and Writing, Standardized tests ALL ages

I have recently acquired a Master of Education degree in Education-a lifelong dream. I have taught in both private and public schools in grades PreK-6. I have tutored many students along the way-including summer school for struggling readers and writers. My most recent assignment was a permanent substitute position in the first grade. I am currently tutoring in ELL AND ALL ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. I have passed all the MTEL exams and have helped fellow colleagues with these exams. I also hold License to teach Special Needs.
I am a fan of Howard Gardner- I believe each student has his/her own learning style. Knowing these learning styles can help both teacher and student accomplish academic success. I also believe in a gradual release of responsibility on the student's part. Teaching vocabulary before the actual lesson can help the student understand more completely.

As a creative writing major at school, i was an avid member of our newspaper, serving as copy editor. When i graduated college i continued my summer job as a technical writer at an engineering company. My last position was also an assistant technical writer. Both positions required knowledge of AP style, extreme detail to grammar and an ability to write different styles. After school in between finding career positions, i briefly tutored and substitued as a paraprofessional in the nearby school district. I was an self employed as a tutor and primarily saw elementary aged children who were immigrants. We specifically concentrated on spelling, reading and mathematics.
I am a firm believer of repetition. I have many books on grammar, linguistics, writing styles and nonfiction/fiction how to. I accompany any lesson with many resources. My goal is to instill the importance of good sente ... read more

As a teacher, I bring passion for both creativity-based and logic-based subjects. I don't subscribe to the right-brain/left-brain paradigm. I believe students can be strong in both mathematics and writing, and it is my desire to help students realize this, because so few people do. My basic tutoring practice is to let the student do most of the talking. I believe this keeps the student engaged in the subject and demonstrates whether or not he or she really understands. I believe that language facilitates thought, that being able to explain something in words helps us to understand concepts better. I often have the student teach me back, meaning that I have the student explain a concept in his or her own words. I believe this helps the student solidify his or her understanding and to identify and fill in any gaps in comprehension.
For over three years I worked as a writing t ... read more

As an early childhood teacher, I have had several opportunities to help children (school age), to do homework. I also was a tutor in high school to a boy for just Algebra, which then turned around to being all of his subjects and helping him keep on track. The hardest thing for me was that he had only lived in the U.S. for four years, and had trouble speaking English. After each session of tutoring, I would grab the Scrabble board, which encouraged him to use more words, learn new words, and have fun while doing so.
I like to get to the point of certain problems, such as reading the child/student when I see them, ask them some questions about the subjects they need help in and why they need help. I have worked with Infants-School age for over 5 years, and enjoy being there to help someone in need. I believe in giving back, because so many of us are blessed already.

A Little Bit About Me...

In the classroom I rely on traditional lecture, supplemented by Powerpoint presentations, animations, and lists and diagrams on the white board. I usually assign a research paper. In the last few semesters I've implemented through Blackboard some online testing, as well as tutorial "homework" quizzes, where the students get feedback directing them to coverage of particular sections of the text. I always try to make students aware of how the detailed, technical concepts of the moment fit into the "big picture," making references both to material previously covered and to material yet to come.
I have a BA in Microbiology and an MA in Zoology. I have 7-8 years experience teaching biology, ecology, microbiology and environmental science at the college level. In addition I have many years experience in software engineering, technical writing, software quality assurance, and technic ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a 2008 graduation of Westfield State College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education I have enjoyed being a high school English teacher for two years. My training prior to my career involves experience with English at all four high school levels, drama (both academic and extra curricular,) speech methods and instruction, and urban school environments. Additionally, career opportunities while teaching have allowed me to pursue new and progressive methods of teaching literature and writing.
I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the improvment of self esteem and knowledge when people become heard and are understood in a positive environment. The miracle of comprehension is akin to nurturing, encouraging and challenging an individual to blossom and bear fruit that can be enjoyed and savored by many.
I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passio ... read more

I have over 15 years experience as a classroom teacher in English and a decade of most recent experience as an Orton Gillingham Reading Tutor/Interventionist and general academic tutor (including Writing) from Elementary through Adult.

More About This Tutor...

I like to get to know my student. Being a little older, I find it easier to do this. This getting to know the student, includes understanding their needs and what they know. Once I get to know the student, learning can progress. I am good at summarizing the information they need. This summery is short, specific, and most important, clear. Its explaining material clearly and at the rate the student can understand, that makes a good tutor. The students are happy to learn, and this good feeling make learning even better.
I have been tutoring for many years. I started at Sylvan Learning Centers, where I was there for two and one half years. I am proud to say I was successful in that I helped many students and that I was able to do this over a wide range of student needs. Some of this included teaching the SAT preparation course, both the English and math sides. I have also had studen ... read more
