My comments on tutoring Elementary : Have worked with children in grades Pre-k through fifth grade

I have led several workshops about differentiation and developmentally appropriate practices for early childhood educators and parents over the last couple of years. I have been tutoring for elementary aged students for ten years now. Parents have seen real academic gains through the tutoring approach I take. To overcome areas of difficulty I follow children’s interests and talents. For some children I use Montessori didactic teaching materials to extend students learning. I maintain ongoing records of assessment and observation’s for each child that I tutor for. A typed report about tutoring activities and student progress is given to each parent for each tutoring session. I communicate with parents each tutoring session and establish a liaison with each student’s classroom teacher.
My teaching aspirations and love for learning have led me to this tutoring opportunity to help ch ... read more

I will meet with you and your child in order to learn how I can accommodate your child's needs. I will develop and implement a plan that will engage your child in learning and help them improve in the academic areas they are struggling with.
I have worked with children of all ages and abilities in a variety of settings throughout high school, college and as a certified Elementary Education Teacher and Reading Specialist for the past seven years. Currently, I am on maternity leave and am looking to provide tutoring services in the areas of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. I have been a first grade teacher for 7 years so I am very interested in working with children at the lower elementary level who may be struggling with reading, writing or math skills.

Elementary is one of my top subjects! In 2001, I received my certification in Elementary Education from CCSU. I then substitute taught for the town of West Hartford for 2 years while I got married and had my son. He had a lot of health problems so the decision was made for me to stay home with him. When it came to Kindergarten he still had many health issues so we thought it was best to keep him home and I began to Homeschool him. Homeschooling has worked well for him and his younger sister so I have continued even though his health is far better. He is now entering 6th grade. Through out the years at home with my kids I have been tutoring mostly elementary students. Therefore, I am very experienced with expectations and skills needed to master K-6th grade.

A Little Bit About Me...

Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years. While living in Connecticut I tutored homebound high school age children who were either out on medical leave or expelled for disciplinary purposes. I am proud to report that in addition to several other students, I provided tutoring for a full course load covering an entire year for one expelled student who improved grades in every course and went on to graduate. I have also created training programs and hired and trained numerous employees in the insurance industry and serve as co-chair for an annual insurance educational conference held in New York City. While my degree is in English, I enjoy and excel in math and other courses as well.

I believe the best way for someone to learn something is through application and repetition. As both a tutor and youth lacrosse coach I have had success by teaching my students how to approach problems rather than simply giving them answers. I am extremely patient and am very willing to take alternative approaches in helping a student learn.
During my undergraduate career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the fields of math and science. I did this by striving for excellence in the classroom and participating in cutting edge research with professors in the Entomology and Organic Chemistry departments. My extensive knowledge of the subjects I’ve studied has allowed me to assist my friends in understanding complex and difficult problems. This past year I privately tutored classmates in both Statistics and Organic Chemistry.

More About This Tutor...

I started tutoring in 1995. At the present time I am working as a Special Ed. Reading Tutor for the East Hartford School system. I started out tutoring middle school and high school students in basic math, reading, english, and social studies.
I love teaching using examples all around, as well as, painting a word picture which students understand. It is very important for me to know my audience. This helps me in how I should present the information.

I enjoy teaching and working with all students- elementary to college-age. I have experience tutoring and mentoring children of all ages, including special-needs children. I gain great satisfaction from knowing I am helping students succeed. Knowledge is power.

I stress teaching fundamental principles through an interactive teaching style where students actively participate in learning and solving problems. It is important that students understand fundamental concepts. Relying solely on rote memorization of facts will not lead to success science and math. For younger students I use hands-on demonstrations and visual aids as tools to teach basic scientific principles in a fun and active environment. For more advanced students I teach how to apply fundamental principles to solve problems. I work through typical example problems with them to illustrate practical application of principles. I then ask students to solve problems themselves to develop and ensure understanding.
I have 28 years experience as a successful professional scientist as well as many years experience teaching and tutoring Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and As ... read more

As a teacher, I enjoy being a positive role model. I have a BS in psychology and elementary education, which required me to take many courses in all core subject areas. My M.Ed. concentrated on reading and literacy strategies. Furthermore, I’ve taken several English and bilingual education courses. In the past 5 years I’ve taught in various grade levels and types of communities. My extensive experience with special education students allows me to successfully address varying skill levels and has made me receptive to the needs of each child. Currently, I am a math instructor for students in grades 3-6. In this role I also teach test prep sessions. My other teaching roles have included reading inclusion, coordinating a literacy intervention program, teaching children who speak English as a second language, an after school tutoring program, being a figure skating instructor, and teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style incorporates many different modes in realizing that children learn in all different ways. I try to incorporate as many different types of learning styles as I can into lessons, using visual, auditory and hands on approaches. I am an understanding person and realize that students of all ages do not always comprehend something the first time it is taught to them. I will put in the time and effort to ensure that the child’s specific targeted areas of needs are addressed. I only want what is best for the student and will do whatever it takes to ensure that students I work with are reaching their set goals. I love working with children and I think teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs there is!

A Little Bit About Me...

Currently, I work at a learning center, where I tutor students at a 3:1 ratio in beginning reading, academic reading, math, and writing. I also tutor a 2nd grade dyslexic student once a week, and a 3rd and 5th grade student in math. I am very passionate about tutoring and love seeing the difference I make in each student's life.
I have been extremely fortunate the last couple years to gain a lot of teaching experience through substituting and student teaching, as well as tutoring. I feel like my experiences have been well rounded, working with all grade levels, different subjects, and special education students. I am very patient and try to do whatever I can to help each of the students I work with.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that most students that seek out the extra help of a tutor have a much greater capacity to learn than they realize. It is upon that belief that all of my tutoring is centered around. My long term goal for most students is to show them how to be self-learners so that at some point they tell me to stop coming because they don't need a tutor anymore. This is done primarily by weaving study skills and tips into the lessons. This helps the students be more efficient with their studying. I also spend a lot of time de-mystifying the subject material. This makes the material easier to understand, which in turn improves the student's self-confidence, which in turn makes the next set of material easier for the student to learn. It becomes a never-ending upward spiral that eventually leads to the student being successful on his/her own without the need to rely on constant extra help ... read more
