Through the years I have had the opportunity to teach a variety of students with special needs and different abilities. I seek to find the individual's learning style and devise a plan that will fit that student. The curriculum and teaching style should fit the student, not the other way around. I am a dedicated and experienced teacher in both ELA and Reading having taught for fifteen years in Vermont and New York State. I am looking to help students achieve their full potential in reading and writing. My family recently relocated to Waynesboro, PA for my husband's job and I miss teaching.

I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children. I decided to re-enter the world of work and began to work part time in various offices (insurance, real estate, small business, clothing store and landscaping/gardening center) so that I could have the experiences outside of a classroom environment. I decided to work with children and began to pursue a position as a preschool teacher. I have experience working with adults who happen to have various special needs and I have worked with children from kindergarten through high school. My degree in special education has allowed me to be proficient with individualizing instruction and curriculum to meet the

I have always been driven by a desire to help others succeed in subject areas that I love. Shortly after college, I began a volunteer-driven, grant-funded literacy tutoring program in two elementary schools. I have an earned Bachelor's degree in communication arts with a minor in English. I have two full years of teaching experience, and I am currently working on obtaining my PA teacher's certification in secondary language arts. I have experience in tutoring/teaching students from 1st grade through 12th grade in English, reading, and writing. Children learn in different ways. No one teaching style will work for every student. My teaching style revolves around the needs of the student. I love to help determine what methods will work best for each individual. I have an extremely laid-back personality, and my wife will tell you that I am very patient. I do not believe in failure, a

As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assignments and writing research papers, essays and critiques in my field. The varied classload I carried during my 4 years has more than prepared me for a tutoring position as I feel that all of my experiences with writing, psychology, various design and film communication art classes give me the skillset required to help students achieve their educational goals. I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the t

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

I enjoy teaching and tutoring both. I have a very flexible style of tutoring and hence can adjust to student's learning style very comfortably. Since I have experience in broad subject areas, I can help students refresh on some material from their previous classes and also help them build a strong foundation for upcoming courses. Since my childhood I was always interested in education and academics. This definitely reflects in my degrees since a female entering an engineering school was very uncommon in those days and especially in India. After getting my B.S. I knew I wanted to teach; hence I pursued my masters in Mechanical Engineering. I have been teaching and tutoring for many years but for 15+ in Maryland. I have very good communication skill. I have tutored students in various subject area - starting from middle school Math and Science - to undergraduate courses in Math, Physics an

My basic teaching philosophy places a large emphasis on meeting each individual student’s needs through differentiated instruction. My school has invested in numerous workshops and training session to refine these skills. I have also had a great deal of experience with studying neurological brain functions and how they affect learning styles. This training along with my experience has taught me that not every student learns at the same rate nor by the same methodology and that it is important to tailor my approach to each student while also adhering to specific standards. I have spent the last four years as a Middle School Language Arts teacher in Baltimore, Maryland at Krieger Schechter Day School. I am responsible for instruction and evaluation of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts classes. I have had the opportunity to bring innovative strategies to the classroom. My courses p

My teaching style emphasizes the differences between children, especially with regards to learning styles. Different children comprehend and understand in unique ways - while one may understand best from tactile or visual demonstrations, others learn best simply by hearing. Even within the same student, certain concepts are best understood in atypical ways. I firmly believe that as an educator, my job is to be flexible and creative in devising appropriate teaching methods for each child - what works for one will not always work for another. The most effective teaching comes from understanding this, and tailoring specific approaches to each individual student's needs. I currently have two degrees: a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in Global Studies. In pursuing these degrees I have gained knowledge in various fields including biology, math, chemistry, global politics and eco

I am keenly aware of how busy most students are, so my aim is for tutoring to feel like something they get to do and not something they have to do. Teaching revitalizes my own love for learning, a love I hope to impart in a gentle, patient manner. I believe in honoring the variance in learning styles, and I empower my students to engage with material in ways that feel natural to them. I have implemented individualized reading and writing programs for students ranging from pre-K to adult; gave one-on-one attention to special needs students in phonics, context-based reading, and fact retention; cultivated students’ understanding of grammar/punctuation, sentence/paragraph construction, and general cohesiveness in creative and academic writing; worked one-on-one with high school students on SAT critical reading and writing sections, devoting extra attention to vocabulary expansion.

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams. I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, whe

I have taught in urban and rural settings in Baltimore City and in the County. I hold two masters degrees, one in teaching and one in counseling, which combined have aided in my teaching experiences. I have tutored off and on for different companies. I love to watch a child use their imagination and understand new information. The "a-ha" experience is wonderful to watch unfurl. I believe that all children should be able to learn in some way and it is up to the teacher to figure out which way is most appropriate for each student.

I have a strong passion for teaching and working with children, youth, and adults. I believe that expressing patience, compassion, and respect for the student are all critically important as they overcome learning challenges and digest new information. I work with the philosophy that everyone possesses amazing potential and talent and I strive to meet the student at his or her level and move through lessons at a pace that is comfortable to him or her. As a student’s interests are revealed to me through the tutoring process, I try to incorporate those interests into our lessons to make the learning experience more dynamic and enjoyable. Having worked in very diverse environments, I am experienced at adapting to the learning needs of each student and developing personalized learning strategies for each individual. As the student improves, I give ample encouragement and celebrate in hi
