A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I believe that each student is unique and has their own way of interpreting, analyzing and applying information. The position of an educator is to assist students in finding their strengths to build mastery and confidence. The educator will also asssit individuals in finding ways to gain skills that will encourage, reinforce and fortify training and readiness in weaker areas. My job as an educator is to help each student achieve success.
As an Educator, I have worked and taught in many diverse settings such as Elementary, Charter and Private schools, an Arboretum, a working Grist Mill park and a Library. I have taught all ages from Pre-school through adult. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master‘s Degree in Reading. I am a Certified Elementary Teacher for grades K - 6, and Teacher of Exceptional Children, grades K - 12. I have t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 have been a paraprofessional with the Woodbridge School District for the last 10 years. In my years with the district I have completed numerous trainings in several reading programs, Readind Assist, Wilson, and Soar to Success are a few. I have worked with regular ed and special ed children in grades from 2 thru 8. I am currently working in a self-contained special ed classroom grades 5-8. I work with the students using text to talk books and readers theater.
I am patient but firm with students.I believe when given an appropriate environment and encouragement they all have the potential to learn. Using humor and making personal connections with students helps them feel comfortable, and in doing so, creates an agreeable learning environment.

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!

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.

My "ace in the hole" in teaching is the fact that I care for students and they know it. I do make it well known that I am there to teach; not be their friend (or their parent!). I typically set the limits, introduce the lesson, focus on learning the content, and be attentive to individual needs. Assessment is done through answering and asking questions. Also, reviewing and an extended assighnment is used to reinforce learning. My overall goal as a teacher is to guide a student to be an independent learner and to develop a love for education.

Working with kindergarden through Adulthood, I work with a student to help them get to where they can be their best. Additionally, it is always my mission to teach the student self confidence and basic study skills in order for them to compete with their classmates or to compete with others similarly situated. I work with students one on one or in a small classroom setting. I get the children actively involved in the learning process and I help them to learn how to conquer their study weaknesses.

I enjoy sharing knowledge with others and believe that teaching is beyond memorizing facts. As an educator I attempt to teach students skills to become lifelong learners through fostering an appreciation of knowledge. My teaching style is adaptable to a particular student's needs, but often incorporates the strategy of relating content material to the individual's existing knowledge. As an informal educator I have experience utilizing hands on learning activities to engage my students. I believe these strategies are what allow individuals to actually gain knowledge.

A Little Bit About Me...

Naturally I would set goals and objectives (Independent Educational Plan). Depending if the individual's assets or deficits (weaknesses) would determine my teaching style. It was determined by the type of approach that would benefit the individual best. Some people are visual versus audtory, or hands on learners.
As a vocational expert/counselor I have taught, trained,and tested (interest, IQ, aptitude etc) both clients and employees. I worked with average intelligence adolescents and adults. I also assisted the special education teacher at Hanover Learning Center (approximately 7 years)working with mild and moderately impaired adolescents in the classroom. In the vocational and job placement responsibilities, I coordinated, and assisted/taught client to help them obtain their GED.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate, with degrees in Economics and English, I have experience in mathematics and writing. Communication skills are very important in all fields. The written skills for essays, reports, research papers and letters are critical for any field a student wishes to pursue. I have taught young children to swim and have also worked with handicapped children.
I love working with children. Each child learns in a different way and at a different pace. I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to find the special key for each child to unlock the magic of learning. One good teacher who can relate to your child may change that child's life forever. I have a positive supportive approach to teaching.
