A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can learn, but in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. You will find me to be an individual who takes pride in being direct, spontaneous, and communicative.

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am especially well versed at helping students that have great difficulty in learning subjects such as math. I have developed new teaching methods that are extremely effective. I have been able to help many disaffected students who had given up on themselves and who other teachers viewed s hopeless cases. I find it very gratifying to rekindle a student's passion for education and a love of learning. I have been highly successful in this regard.
As a former HS Math teacher in NYC I have great experience working with students that many other teachers regard as "difficult". As a product of NYC public schools I was well suited to work with such students and had great success in helping them achieve their academic goals and make better choices in their lives. I often encounter students who thank me for the help and orientation I provided at a time when it would have been all too ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion in life is working with children! I love teaching and having the opportunity to share knowledge with children. My experience teaching and tutoring has taught me a great deal about how to reach different students. All children are capable of learning; however, the manner in which children learn can differ. Children need to feel successful in order to be successful. If you portray a negative attitude about learning, children will sense that and act accordingly. I believe students learn by asking questions, figuring things out with some guidance, and making connections to what they already know. Exploration and enjoying learning are two things that will help a child reach his or her goals and WANT to keep learning!
After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a BA in English, I went on to pursue my teaching certification through an internship program. Du ... read more
