I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, their understanding is broadened and 99% of the time embedded in the longterm memory. That to me is not only developing the ability to draw on a built up knowledge base, but also broadens ones ability to convey what has been learned.
I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I student taught in a kindergarten classroom. I had two different classes and they were all different. They were all on different levels and I needed to figure out were they all were. In do believe that all children can learn, but in there own way. I am the kind of person who is energenic and patient. Each child can reach anything they set their minds to. My teaching style is that I want all children to learn and they will learn in different ways because not all children learn the same way. Some are visual and some need to move around.
I am a graduate of Bloomfield College. I majored in education. I worked very hard for this degree. It took me five years to complete. I tutored children from the 2nd to the 4th grade in a tutoring program on the college campus. During this I tutored them in math, reading and sometimes writing. During the education program I learned alot about differe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading and writing very much and would love an opportunity to spread my passion of knowledge through reading. Ie have recently been thinking of getting certified in teaching to be a substitute or tutor. I just needed a reason to complete the task. Throughout my years in school I wrote and read everything necessary and I believe I would have no problem helping others achieve their goals of learning how to read and write to the best of their ability.
I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would fee ... read more

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more

Working with children and seeing them succeed, is one of the few things in life that bring me great joy. I love helping children reach the full potential. Not all children learn the same way therefore it is important to know different methods of teaching and making the work appealing to the student. I believe that showing the child that you genuinely care about him is a big part of helping them reach their potential. A child should know that I am available to him at anytime and for any reason. Teaching is a full time job and plays a delegate in a child’s development. The teacher I remember from high school and elementary are the one who showed me that they truly care about me and wanted to see me succeed in life. These teachers made the difference therefore I have adopted this philosophy when I am called to help. Teach or counsel with children.

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.
I have worked in a wide range of business and educational settings and have worked with students from grade school to adult. When I earned my BS in English, with a thirty credit business minor, I already had fifteen years experience working in a family run retail store. I have since worked a range of jobs including teaching business, computer and English classes. I also worked as a computer systems installer, service manager and office manager. I bring to my teaching a wide range of experience combined with a strong understanding of my subject areas.
