I am a professional case manager who over the past 20 + years has held a variety of positions typical of the non-profit world. I work with the disabled population and have extensive successes working with those living with disabilities that fall under the autism spectrum and down syndrome. I am familiar with writing research papers and I am knowledgeable with the APA and Chicago Style of writing. I love English and the way in which words can create pictures in our minds. I am relocating from New York to Minnesota in the Spring of 2010 and I am thrilled to be given an opportunity to return to my favorite passion of teaching and empowering others to become lifelong learners. I feel that one of my strengths is my creativity towards learning. Not all people learn in the same manner, therefore my teaching style depends on the person I am working with.

I am currently a sixth grade teacher at a Catholic Elementary School. I have been with the same school for the past 14 years. My experience there has been in the following grade levels: Pre-School, First Grade, Fourth Grade, Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade Math & Science, and Eighth Grade Math & Science. I have also tutored students in grades three through six in both reading and mathematics. It is very important to me that my students have fun while they are learning. Much of my teaching is done through games and hands-on experiences. I also firmly believe in the use of technology (computers) to help teach and reinforce concepts being taught. Every child has strengths and it is important to build upon those strengths.

You can preach all you want to children, but if you don't teach, there will be no learning. I believe that children will learn from someone they trust to talk to and from someone who they trust to give them the correct answers to their questions. I enjoy being that person. I like being the person who will sit next to them, talk to them, and help them out. I do not want to be the person across from them speaking without any word from my students. I am teacher who provides my students with energy to succeed. I want to keep their attention for as long as I can on the given criteria, boring or not. Sometimes all someone needs to succeed is a little bit of help and who am I to not offer it to them? I have taught in many areas of study. Since I was young, I taught my younger family members the importance of manners, honesty, care, and responsibility. I believe this has carried into my real-li

I am a strong believer in relational learning and that is why I support the concept of tutoring. One-on-one instructional guidance from someone who knows and respects you is a great motivation for learning to take place. I am a patient, sympathetic, and loving person, but I also like to push myself and others to accomplish the most that they are capable of achieving. I am naturally very encouraging and supportive and always willing to help someone in need. I believe that every child is unique and gifted in certain ways and that by spending time with them and encouraging them in their strengths they will find the challenge and support to succeed. Since receiving a Bachelor's in English and Writing, I have developed many diverse skills in addition to those I learned in school. While working as an editor for a publishing company, I was able to hone my ability to write and communicate c

As a Syracuse University graduate, I studied at the Maxwell School and the Whitman School of management. Maxwell is recognized worldwide for its expertise in public policy and economics. I have taken 3 courses in statistics, 1 in calculus and 1 econometric course which is statistics and calculus combined. Also, because I was enrolled in 2 separate programs I have taken 15 credits of natural science and 12 credits of english. I feel well polished in many areas of academia and I work well with students, considering there are 8 teachers in my family and I've been around the teaching environment for quite some time. I'm very laid back and patient when it comes to teaching. I can empathize with students who have difficulty in a subject because at one point in my educational career I had trouble and needed help. I do believe that almost every one is capable of learning and progressing, given

I engage students by using my energetic, charismatic personality, to inspire them to follow my lead. I also give them personal attention to prove to them that I care. I introduce material using technology and discussions, then reinforce learning with real world examples and groupwork. I show students that learning/school can be enjoyable and doesn't have to be a job. Students quickly find that they enjoy coming to learn from me I worked for 2 years as an 8th grade math teacher, then 7 years as a 6th grade math teacher at Lowville Academy in Lowville,NY. I moved to be with a loved one to Liberty,NY and taught 6th grade math, science, social studies, and english. I recently moved to the central new york area to be closer to family.

Because I have been teaching "Situational Leadership" for quite some time, I am able to quickly judge what type of learner an individual is, and I can adapt my teaching style to their learning style. Especially in a tutorin envirnment, this is essential. I believe some students need tutors because their learning style is not a match with their teacher's. An effective tutor will ensure that the student is able to learn according to their own individual style, and the teacher adapts. I have been in the human resources field for more than 15 years. Throughout my career, training has been a key component. I have a keen understanding of the different ways people learn, I know how to connect with a learner, and I excel in teaching both technical skills and soft skills. Again throughout my career, I have coached managers and exept-level employees in writing performance appraisals, memos,

I love to teach by arousing the thinking faculty of my students with questions that makes them think in the line of the subject. Use of illustrations, applying the subject being discussed to real life situations, one that students can relate with, is a very handy tool for me and has worked very well over the years. Thorough explanation, an encompassing summary and point tags on core areas of the subject are vital tools in making subject stick to the mind of students. Teaching is a natural talent for me. I started teaching Mathematics in 2000, just after graduating high school in 1999. I was a class teacher for Gideon Primary School, Lagos Nigeria and taught Mathematics on the secondary level in Gideon Comprehensive High School, same location. I was a foreign examinations' instructor for Trinity International college where I trained students for exams like TOEFL, GMAT and GRE. All throug

I have spent most of my career in helping students with learning challenges and other special needs. My strongest asset is that I am very good at teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I have tutored a lot of students who are considered to be slow learners or who have some kind of learning disability. When I first started in the education field, I helped to transition students from being in the least restrictive environment to going to a regular classroom. This is what use to be called mainstream education. I still use the skills that I learned an developed when I was doing mainstream education. I believe that many students who now go through inclusive learning classroom are left behind. They still need that mainstreaming link that is so often neglected. If you have elementary students who need to bridge the learning gap or they are somehow left behind and need to catch up in their edu

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

My teaching style is a combination of techniques I found successful during my educational studies. First, I believe the teacher has to be passionate and have a true love for what he or she is doing; this is passion, or lack thereof, is evident when interacting with a student. Second, patience is of upmost importance. In my experience, nothing inhibits learning as much as a rushed or pressured feeling when one is trying to learn. Finally, it is critical to find a way for the student to relate to the material in a way they understand. Each person is different and the teaching style should reflect that; not everyone fits nicely into a cookie cut template of learning. Every person has the potential to learn anything as long as the opportunity is fairly presented – as a parent of a special needs child, this is something I know very well. I have had many years of educational instructing in a c

Although my BS has a concentration in environmental science, I have taken elementary teaching classes during my undergrad at ESF. I have gained experienced in several subject areas during my career including: Math, Science, and Writing. I feel confident in my abilities and skills I have obtained from my course work at ESF and professional experienced after graduating. I feel I can make a difference in children’s learning careers. My interest in teaching comes from my mother who is a current teacher at Gates. I am compassionate, firm, patience and fun! I feel every child learns best through self discovery. My teaching style will reflect the students best learning style.

Individualization is an important part of my teaching style. I think it is important to identify what the student needs to work on and present it in a way the student can grasp the concept and enjoy learning. The student has to enjoy learning to succeed. I try to present material in such a way that the student will find it interesting and use different techniques to help them remember what they have learned. I also use the pre-teaching/re-teaching strategy. The student doesn't feel overwhelmed with the newly presented material, more confident to participate in class, more willing to ask a question, and is more successful with class work and homework assignments. I have a strong math and science background. In college, I started out in chemical engineering (2 1/2 yrs.) and then switched to education. My bachelor’s degree is a dual degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.

I am a hands on teacher who really relates one on one to students. As a Business Teacher I have had to keep my knowledge of business up to date with new technologies. I can help and be very effective in most subject areas for elementary. With regards to MS & HS I would limit my tutoring to areas of English, Social Studies, Economics, and Business. The only areas of Math would be basic adding/subtracting, multiplying/dividing and learning scientific notations. As a Business Teacher and having a Masters Degree I totally understand how to write papers & format correctly using a PC. This should be an incredible help for your child. I truly enjoy teaching. I am a NYS Permanently Certified Business Teacher. I enjoy working with all students. I have a Masters Degree in Education and a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration.
