I am a Music Education Major at Towson University.

I have played Trumpet for 9 years, Clarinet for 3, and have taken numerous college methods courses that teach me how to play and teach many other instruments. I am a music education major at Towson University, but I live near Salisbury, MD, and love to help and tutor children in this field during the summer. I do not yet have a degree, but am looking for paid teaching experience to put on my resume.

Reading is one of my top subjects! I love reading. I'm a very avid reader and tend to be able to finish a 500 page novel in less than a day if I'm passionate about the reading material. My boyfriend also has dyslexia when it comes to reading and I helped him conquer his fear of reading and he's improved in his reading abilities a lot.

I graduated from Washington High in 2006 with my High School Diploma. From there I went to Worwic Community College part time while working full time to pursue an Associates of the Arts in General Studies. This degree was completed in 2010. After that I moved on to Salisbury University to pursue a Bachelor's Degree with a dual major in History and Psychology with Minors in Philosophy and Women's Studies. After one year of study I found myself suffering financially so I returned to Worwic Community College to pursue an Associates of Applied Science in Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Management with a specialization in Hotel Management because Ocean City is a predominantly tourist based town. After that I attended the Culinary Program at Worwic Community College and graduated with my third Associates Degree in just over a years time. But I could spout my accomplishments to you all day, what rea ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading : I've taught children as young as 20 months how to read. I am expert at teaching this subject.

I work well with students of all ages.

More About This Tutor...

I obtained my AAS in 1986, from Hudson Valley Community College, located in Troy, NY. Working toward the BS wasn’t easy as it took another 8 years of night coursework. I eventually obtained my BS from the State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome, in 1994. I have excellent communication, writing, and problem solving skills. The credit requirement for my degree was 146 credits, which is a little bit more than the average. I have tutored subjects including pre-calculus, college algebra and general physics. at the Community College level. More often than not the people that I tutored were successful; however the person being tutored needs the self-confidence to ultimately be successful.
I have always tried to teach concepts differently than traditional ways and somehow apply these to real life situations. With younger folks, real life situations don’t always ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since my years as an undergraduate student, one of my passions has always been giving back to the community through tutoring and mentoring. Over the past eleven years, I have tutored countless times, particularly in research paper and essay writing (in various disciplines), literature, and even mathematics. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Education and seek to continue giving back in this way!
As an Education Director at a Boys & Girls Club, I taught in the non-traditional sense, through after school literature-enhancing programming of various kinds. I instructed K-12 students, and even parents and staff, on many different levels of achievement and ability, so I am very acquainted with diverse populations and accomodating their educational needs through creative tools and approaches.

I've always enjoyed tutuoring others because of the joy I get from seeing them learn new things. I love to see them experience a sense of accomplishment. Knowing that I could be part of their success, is a feeling that is undescribable.
I was a parent volunteer in my children's elementary school for 4 to 5 years. I was a substitute teacher in grades 1 thru 4. I tutuored my two children for two years. I taught summer school to first and second graders, was a teacher's assistant, and worked as a one-on-one tutor in a reading program in the elementary school. I have also mentored students and adults in academic subjects as well as elementary subjects. For the past two years, while attending college, I have been tutuoring other college students in English, Reading, Elementary Algebra, Accounting I and II, Business Math, Introduction to Computers, Excel, amoung other Business coarse ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children. Each child learns in a different way and at a different pace. I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to find the special key for each child to unlock the magic of learning. One good teacher who can relate to your child may change that child's life forever. I have a positive supportive approach to teaching.
As a graduate, with degrees in Economics and English, I have experience in mathematics and writing. Communication skills are very important in all fields. The written skills for essays, reports, research papers and letters are critical for any field a student wishes to pursue. I have taught young children to swim and have also worked with handicapped children.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can learn by using different styles of learning. It is very important to find the best teaching style for each child you tudor. I will work on each childs learning style. Some methods I use are manipulitives, games, flashcards with either words or numbers, and key words to remember.
I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, fourth grade,fifth grade, sixth grade and tutoring small groups and individually. My most experience was in first and second grade. I have also served on both reading and math councils. I have trained teachers how to teach new math programs.

I just enjoy helping people find solutions and answers. Most of the time I like to just ask question and see what the students already know, once I got a good unterstand we can go from their. But basicly, it trying to find that balance that the student wants, whether they can be pared up or me and them do a one on one approach.
I have always been involved in assisting and helping others in education. I earned a BS in Visual Arts, Minoring in Art Education, as well as BFA in Computer Animation. In addition, I did some tutoring during my graduate studies ,turtoring incoming freshmens for a Summer Bridge Program. The areas of turtoring where in Math and Reading, where me and a Supplemental Instructor would assist the students. Later, I started volunteering for D.C.U.S.A., an Adult Education Program.

I received my first tutoring credential in the early 1970's specializing in prep-school placement tests, college-board prep etc. While attending Grad-School (Temple University) in the mid-70's; I worked as a substitute teacher in the Arch-Diocese of Phila. on a high-school level, primarily instructing History. At seventeen I completed the Evelyn Wood speed reading course, not that that is directly relevant to my teaching style. During the past 20 yrs. I have had a credential in several states, but have tutored only on a volunteer level.
My forte is adapting to the individual student. I have an inate ability to deciper the way each student's mind absorbs knowledge and I am flexible enough in my methodology to adjust to the necessary path. Although my approach is always conctructivist, my teaching methods vary from child to child. I was raised in the urban decay of the oldest neigh ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Along with their family members and educators, my goal would be to become their advocate in helping them to achieve their potential via one-on-one/small group reinforcement and instill confidence in their abilities. I would take them through the steps necessary to be comfortable with their tasks at hand. With this particular position being at various age-levels this would lend me the privilege of helping them to fortify their academic skills. I would assist them in setting goals, offer them insight on how to strengthen their weak areas and provide the tools with which realize these goals. I have much patience, and my teaching style is presented in a way that keeps frustrations down (which is counter-productive).
With my B.A. in Sociology, I have had many opportunities to fine-tune my abilities in writing. Having years experience working with our community’s children (in excess ... read more

While at Salisbury University, I studied Environmental Issues and firmly believe in the theory I learned that education in the beginning for everything. I have always loved learning, and as a result, I also pursued a minor in Chemistry, for the sheer love of science. Immediately after college, I spent the summer teaching riding lessons at a camp in Colorado. In the evenings, I took off my cowboy boots and spent my time acting as co-counselor in a cabin full of elementary to middle school aged girls, depending on the session. Since returning from Colorado, I have spent my time as a substitute teacher. I have taught students in Pre-K, all the way up to 12th grade. During my time teaching, I have been selected for two long-term positions.
I’ve always enjoyed teaching others, whether I was a kid tacking up my pony and giving informal riding lessons or leading fellow undergrad student ... read more
