A Little Bit About Me...

I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, their understanding is broadened and 99% of the time embedded in the longterm memory. That to me is not only developing the ability to draw on a built up knowledge base, but also broadens ones ability to convey what has been learned.
I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communi ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

The most important qualities of outstanding educators are experience, creativity, and patience. Each quality needs to be developed or tested by time in order to increase in its overall effectiveness. Teachers who can consistently employ all three qualities throughout their careers will be successful educators. It will take a lot of effort and hard work as an educator to successfully integrate the qualities of experience, creativity, and patience into their teaching styles. The effort and hard work will result in the development and establishment of those important qualities within teachers. In turn, the qualities will help those outstanding teachers to continue working hard with unquestionable effort.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

I have a passion for helping students reach their acasemic goals. I am a very patient, caring and easy going. I beleive that the more patient you are with students, the better they will understand and not feel pressured and discouraged. I have discovered through my experiences that students learn better through experience and on a one-on-one basis.
While attending The Richard Stockton College of NJ, I was an active member of the Accounting and Finance Society where I utilized my technological and analytical aptitude to create financial statements and perform cash and capital budgets.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a people person. I love to be with children and have four grown children. I believe as Pluto does that each child is a "tabla rassu" which means each child is a blank slate waiting to be molded and shown the way. I am very patient, easy going, very organized and considerate. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. 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. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

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

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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, I have worked with various types of learners, IEPs, testing situations, and curricula. I also have six years experience in tutoring and homebound instruction.
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, supp ... read more

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more

Over the past twenty years of classroom teaching, I have discovered that many children have different styles of learning. I have taken a few classes on Differential Instruction, and I am aware of different learning needs. Patience is paramount in working with older students who get frustrated when they do not get a concept easily The research writing class at Groves was very demanding; yet, I had twenty some students qualify to receive their CEA3 certificates and graduate from high school. it is my firm belief that all children CAN learn.
Having grown up in a family where education was highly valued. not only did I desire to attain my own college degree, but I was strongly devoted to the idea of helping educate others.
