Goal 1: To ensure that all students flourish. The understanding of and appreciation for diversity is key in ensuring that all students flourish.

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I have been teaching "Situational Leadership" for quite some time, I am able to quickly judge what type of learner an individual is, and I can adapt my teaching style to their learning style. Especially in a tutorin envirnment, this is essential. I believe some students need tutors because their learning style is not a match with their teacher's. An effective tutor will ensure that the student is able to learn according to their own individual style, and the teacher adapts.
I have been in the human resources field for more than 15 years. Throughout my career, training has been a key component. I have a keen understanding of the different ways people learn, I know how to connect with a learner, and I excel in teaching both technical skills and soft skills. Again throughout my career, I have coached managers and exept-level employees in writing performance appraisals, ... read more

As a recent graduate of the Rutgers-Newark University Honors College, I hold a B.A. in Biology and plan to continue my education in the future. As a member of the Honors College I was exposed to the most rigorous English Literature and History courses, which enabled me to hone my writing skills. In addition, I have extensive experience in the Biological Sciences. While earning my degree in Biology I held a position as a peer tutor for undergraduate freshmen taking General Biology. I also have a full year of one-on-one and group tutoring experience with preparatory school students, who had learned English as a second language, in various subjects including Biology, English, and History.
I recognize the importance of a dynamic teaching style- one that adjusts depending on both the subject matter and the student. I am very experienced with addressing procrastination and anxiety. ... read more

I feel that one of my strengths is my creativity towards learning. Not all people learn in the same manner, therefore my teaching style depends on the person I am working with. Some people learn best through rhythm and tones, other through notes and elaborate explanations, samples and examples.I am a very patient person and I do not like to give up but explore the numerous creative manners in which to unlock learning for an individual. I have a very relaxed, easy going personality myself and I am approachable and understanding. However I am honest and firm in my values and beliefs. Learning should have a level of sustainability to it and build upon experiences, cultures, and beliefs.
I am a professional case manager who over the past 20 + years has held a variety of positions typical of the non-profit world. I work with the disabled population and have extensive successes working w ... read more

I have a BS in Speech Communication and MA in Public Administration, while currently pursuing an MBA. I have a very high comfort level in speaking/illustrating to others. My understanding of concepts range from Interpersonal and Organizational Communication/Rhetoric/ Leadership/ Art History and Psycholgy issues like self-esteem. I have a wide array of skill sets for report writing and research papers
I am a firm believer of the concept "know your audience", as each child may not learn in the same linear fashion. Children need to learn whether via spoken (lectures, slides,) or written word (powerpoint, research journals, quizzes,). I like to believe that the child does have will to learn and needs to find that niche of comfort in order to do so, whether informal group setting or sound strategic goal setting structure.

As a recent graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, I am excited to begin helping high school and college students with math and science, as well as technical and essay writing.

Beginning in high school I found myself driven to help children in need. Through my participation in Mercy Action, I raised money for mentally delayed children, and set up numerous barbeques for them. Later, I began tutoring a young brazilian boy in the 5th grade. He needed help with all of his studies, especially math and english. As a political science major, I have gained experienced in essay writing, grammatical skills and research methods.
Before I was able to tutor, I taught 7 year old girls cheerleading. When I began to tutor, I enjoyed being one on one with the child. I am very patient, punctual and considerate. I know children that need extra help need extra time. I find it personally rewarding to supplament a child's education. I also believe it is easier for a child to ask questions when they are one on one with an educator.

As a Syracuse University graduate, I studied at the Maxwell School and the Whitman School of management. Maxwell is recognized worldwide for its expertise in public policy and economics. I have taken 3 courses in statistics, 1 in calculus and 1 econometric course which is statistics and calculus combined. Also, because I was enrolled in 2 separate programs I have taken 15 credits of natural science and 12 credits of english. I feel well polished in many areas of academia and I work well with students, considering there are 8 teachers in my family and I've been around the teaching environment for quite some time.
I'm very laid back and patient when it comes to teaching. I can empathize with students who have difficulty in a subject because at one point in my educational career I had trouble and needed help. I do believe that almost every one is capable of learning and progressing, ... read more
