Experienced Elementary Teacher - Tutoring in all Subjects

My teaching style is student centered; differentiation according to each child's unique and special needs is essential to successful growth in academics, confidence, and motivation. I teach specific skills and concepts in small parts so that they are clearly understandable; yet I give students opportunities to use those skills in a larger context (such as using a specific skill within a new text, real-life problem, or a new problem solving situation). I know that students learn better when they enjoy learning and feel successful. Therefore, I use positive teaching strategies and incorporate fun learning games that cover content, skills, and critical thinking skills.

Over 8 years of passionate, creative teaching and tutoring!

I have always loved traveling, learning about different cultures, history, ideologies and of course food and have traveled to over 16 countries and lived in 5, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and most recently México, where my Spanish speaking and ESL teaching journey began. I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation. While living abroad, I experienced firsthand the struggles and daily frustrations of not being able to communicate my ideas, feelings or simply ask for directions or order from a menu at a restaurant.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been tutoring elementary school children in Hebrew, English, and Mathematics for four years now. I also tutor adults who wish to learn Hebrew or improve their English. Having grown up in Israel, Hebrew is my second language. I speak, read, and write in both languages fluently and proficiently.

I believe that every student can learn more than they think

I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.
I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds.

Tutor with 13 years experience

Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.
I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
