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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education is continuous and requires participation by all involved parties, meaning students must be active and constant participants in their education as well as the teacher. I also understand that no two individuals learn in exactly the same manner causing my methods as a teacher to constantly change to best fit the needs of the individual. All students, children, adults, etc. can learn if given the right environment, support, and encouragement. My goal as a teacher is not only to educate but to give students the tools and knowledge with which to teach themselves in the future.
My undergraduate degree of Communication allowed me to use my knowledge and skills of writing, editing, and publishing as a springboard towards my true passion of teaching and working with adolescents. As a public school teacher with six years experience, both in Pennsylvania and Delaware, ... read more

I have taught Special Education for 26 years and third grade for 6. I have tutored using the Reading Assist program and various other methods for reading. I also have many techniques for teaching math to young learners. I enjoy working with children one on one or in small groups. I have retired from teaching but would like to continue working with children part-time. I have been substituting the past couple of years since retiring.
I believe each child has their own learning style. Through a variety of approaches and materials each child can find success in reading and math in their elementary school years. I enjoy finding each child's path to success.

I earned my Masters Degree in Business Management/Business Administration later in life. I always felt that it was very important to try to improve one self and to help those who are in need of help. I think is very important to strive to ensure that every child has the chance to be the best that they can be and have the best education they deserve.
I love teaching and working with all children. I have always wanted to be a teacher, but life happened and I was married living half way around the world in another country constantly moving. I beleive all children can learn it just may take someone to give them a little help and direction.

More About This Tutor...

As an Education Director at a Boys & Girls Club, I taught in the non-traditional sense, through after school literature-enhancing programming of various kinds. I instructed K-12 students, and even parents and staff, on many different levels of achievement and ability, so I am very acquainted with diverse populations and accomodating their educational needs through creative tools and approaches.
Since my years as an undergraduate student, one of my passions has always been giving back to the community through tutoring and mentoring. Over the past eleven years, I have tutored countless times, particularly in research paper and essay writing (in various disciplines), literature, and even mathematics. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Education and seek to continue giving back in this way!

I believe that each student brings something different to the classroom. In my classroom, I want to foster the students' ideas and thoughts. I want the students to have a sense of pride in their thoughts. I am aware that students have different learning styles, so I am capable of altering my own style to make sure each student grasps the concepts that I want them to learn.
During my undergraduate career, I student taught ninth grade English at Glasgow High School. I taught five 9CP courses and 1 SAT Prep course. So I have experience working with students and I am very skilled in teaching English Language Arts concepts.

I am a currently a working civil engineer specializing in bridge design (steel and concrete structures). I received scores of 760 in Math on both the SAT I and II, and a score of 800 in Math on the GRE's. I have taken several high level calculus, engineering mathematics, and statistics classes at the University of Delaware, aside from receiving a 5 on both the Calculus and the Statistics AP Exams. I have tutored elementary students in the past, and was part of a 'teaching scientists' after school company briefly in college.
I believe in talking through problems using visual ideas and simplified concepts. I prefer teaching with graphics and concepts, and then relating them to formulas and equations. While I expect hard work from my students, I also have the patience to help them understand at their own pace.

A Little Bit About Me...

While completing my masters in Special Education, I have learned creative ways to help children with special needs that I work with. I have designed and coordinated a Resource Center to help students with special needs learn and achieve at their level. I have also designed and implemented a school for children with special needs.
I believe that every child has a right to learn. I believe that, no matter what kind of problem or learning disability that student has, that he/she deserves to learn. It is the responsibility, not only of the teacher, but the parents, grandparents, siblings and community to help children receive the best education that they can. I believe that all children learn differently. Some learn through doing; some through listening; others are a combination. I teach to each child in the way that best helps them to learn.

I currently work with college students helping them explore their inner leadership abilities.

I use both of my degrees every day; serving as a voice for underrepresented populations and I thoroughly enjoy budgeting and planning for the Office of Student Life.

In my experience with teaching, I find that the best way to connect and convey the information is to provide aural, visual and experiential exposure to the material. Everyone does not learn at the same pace or through the same exposure to material. It is also important to be perceptive to the possibility of student frustration as this is almost always a road block that will arise and if not identified can lead to lower absorption of the material or complete lack of understanding and drive altogether.
As a re-founding member and President of the Syracuse University chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles (www.pershingriflessociety.org) I was responsible for the planning and instruction of between 12 and 20 students in the areas of Leadership, Project Management, Exhibition Drill and Wilderness Survival.

Many students have difficulty in a classroom setting because the teacher teaches one way, while not all students learn the same way. I believe in getting to know my students during our initial sessions to discover how they learn. Listening and picking up on verbal and body language cues allows me to relate with students. Patience and perseverance are my strong points. If one method doesn’t work, we will try another until we get it right. Your child and I will become a learning team. Parents will also become a part of that team. Our working together is crucial to your child’s success. All students can learn to their potential given the opportunity.

A Little Bit About Me...

For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the faculty of the school in which I worked and also plan and devise curriculum suggestions with the administration of the school district. I feel that my experience will enable me to help students with their tutoring needs.
I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many stu ... read more

After graduating from college, I worked in a Top Secret position in Washington, D.C. I left that position to pursue teaching, and earned a Masters from Boston University. I taught high school classes for several years, and also worked in IT as a trainer and troubleshooter. I was asked to direct a community college basic skills program, and did so for 7 years, rising to a Dean's level. I have more recently taught and consulted for a private primary school. I have recently moved to Delaware after a long time out West.
I like a jump right in style that is forthright and honest. I have a sense of humor, and will use it teaching, but only sparingly.
