I've worked with Ocean State Chess as well as in Eclectic Karate providing instruction to children of various age groups. In addition to one on one academic tutoring of various individuals History, English, and Mathematics throughout high school. I've also helped those with learning disabilities use their strengths to workaround their weaknesses.
I blend older teacher techniques and methodology with modern innovations. My preferred method is directed student discussion, by which students gain greater comprehension of the material presented.

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with people has developed as a passion in my life. From an early age I have found myself looking for ways to improve the lives of people around me. I believe that everyone should have an equal chance to reach their academic potential no matter how far away their dream may seem. I hope to bring the gift of words to people in my area so they can say what they mean and showcase their ideas in a manner other than just saying them out loud. Sharing knowledge is the best way to become a well-rounded student, and I hope to influence my students by showing them that their writing can take their ideas to another level, and give them an outlet to turn to in order to keep track of their educational conflicts.

During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy.

I strongly believe that all students can find success as long as they work for it, and are encouraged to reach their goals. I am very patient with my students, and allow them to really think about the problem and work toward a workable solution. In my small group sessions I will usually present an example and have the students work on it while I go to each student to make sure they are understanding the problem. Seeing the student's progress through their course and enjoy knowing how to do the problems is the real enjoyment that I get out of tutoring

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education is the key to success for children. As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. Through my leadership and training experience, I have found the method of facilitating, rather than dictating, to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students participate in their own learning experiences, they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. Being devoted to this assertion confirms that I have made the right career choice for myself. I have a natural ability to relate to children, and will strive to be a ... read more

I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is being able to discover how each child learns best. I am a patient, easy going and perceptive person and believe that I can help any student get the most out of their education. My goal is to become a teacher because I love imparting enthusiasm and knowledge to children; I want to have the opportunity to be a positive role model and influence children in a positive direction, much like the teachers I had while growing up.

While earning my bachelor's degree from Brown University, I taught middle school math and upper school English for two summers at Cushing Academy. My students varied widely in terms of previous experience and motivation, and I strove to approach each at his or her level and to think of each of them as individuals, never just a member of a homogeneous classroom. Last year, I taught middle school music at the Dana Hall School; some of my students had never played an instrument or sung in a choir, while others had years of experience. From this experience I greatly improved my ability to work with middle schoolers. I also tutored adults preparing for the GRE. The math section of this test covers primarily algebra and geometry, and my experience at Cushing had prepared me to find an approach to each subject suited to the student.
I believe the key to good teaching is understanding ... read more

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator ... read more
