Hi! I am a certified math teacher with 20 years of experience working with students from elementary school through college. I have a Master's degree in Mathematics and a Master's degree in Education also. I am very comfortable teaching all different age groups and enjoy working with students one-on-one. One-on-one teaching helps me understand their strengths and weaknesses. I try to listen to my students' needs and evaluate that first, and then based on that I provide support, guidance, advice and encouragement to students on issues regarding their progress in education. I am very consistent and patient with my students. Since math is very cumulative, I always like to spend some time to review the prior and old material to fill in the gaps and then teach the new material. Since July 1992, I have enjoyed carrying out my responsibilities as a math educator. I enjoy working with children w

I ALWAYS try to keep them entertained and excited about their learning.

I prefer a more Socratic approach, whereby I question a student on "why" they are doing something rather than just repeating what they've been told or working from rote memory. I help students learn how to question themselves and work through processes so that when I am not there, they can effectively lead themselves. I am patient and dedicated. I love helping students succeed. I have been a certified teacher since 2007. I have experience with students with disabilities, which helps me to target problem areas for every type of student, not just those with on-paper disabilities. I tutor students at the high school level for math and English studies. I do my homework for each student, helping to assess where they miscue and how I can intervene. I make things more simple and make students' scores increase.

There are two main avenues I emphasize in the classroom: Literacy and Writing. With over 7 years teaching experience, I am well versed in preparing students for the NYS ELA, English Regents, AP English Examinations and Verbal SAT along with college entrance applications. Furthermore, my teaching experience and knowledge has increased student growth for NYS High School and College Placement. Finally, I am a committee member of the RTI: Response to Intervention. My position within the committee trains teachers on the RTI process. I advise, assist and help with creating initial assessments and quarterly benchmarks for ELA to monitor student growth. Every child can learn is my philosophy. I love teaching and learning from my students. Together we bring a wealth of knowledge to the table and build from it. I am patient, understanding and considerate. I believe in differentiated instruc

I am a NYS Certified Elementary School Teacher, currently working as a Staff Developer for Eastern Suffolk BOCES, training administrators and teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions, especially as these data relate to student performance on the NYS Assessments. My most recent classroom experience is at the early childhood level, where I have been the Lead Teacher in a pre-kindergarten classroom, and previously, the Director of a small, private nursery school. I spent a year facilitating a homework help group for school-age children at a local homeless shelter, and have 7 years experience preparing high school students for the SAT's. I have also tutored in GRE and LSAT for post-secondary students. I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I am pati

I hold a master's degree in language education and certification as a public school teacher in two states, New York and New Jersey. In the last three years I have taught and tutored German, English, English as a Second Language, and standardized test preparation (including SAT, ACT, GRE, and TOEFL) in a variety of settings, including a public high school, a private Saturday school for heritage speakers of German, a small music college/tutoring center, and at the large state university SUNY Stony Brook. I have successfully helped students from ages nine to adult achieve their goals in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one tutoring settings. As far as possible, I adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. When I was teaching beginner-level German to an adult opera singer, I focused on helping her develop her conversational skills and pronunciation, using English to explain diffic

My teaching style is based around differentiating instruction to meet student's individual learning style. I enjoy teaching and once I am invovled with a student I dedicate myself to learning which, teaching, studying and learning strategies are best for each individual student. I am also a believer that a tutor/teacher need to constantly research to keep up with strategies and new scientific findings thst can be introduced into lesson plans and tutoring sessions. A teacher should be dedicated and knowledgeable and should teach with a caring touch and unbiased opinions. I strive to help students during these formidable years of adolescent growth so that they can learn how to learn and carry it into a successful academic career. While working at the AHRC I had the opportunity to instruct children with special educational needs. As a teacher I created diffentiated lesson plans daily. I w

From my School days I was very much interested in Math and also used to score good grades in Math, So most of the students from my class apart from my best friends used to come and get tutoring. Due to the interest in Math Teaching and Computers, I choose Math and Computers as Majors in my BS and MS. I have also done B.Ed degree to get well versed with teaching skills and methods. From my High School onwards, I not only have desire and passion to tutor, but also I have gained much experience especially in one on one tutoring. My students like me and how hard the topic is they understands it very well, because I don't leave them until they get it, as I always try different methods and techniques to make the subject easy to the students. As you will note, my teaching style is direct and decisive, yet flexible in responding to constantly changing demands. Throughout my career, I have had th

It is my belief that all students have the potential to learn. As a teacher, I am fully committed to the success of my students, all of my students. Children need to know that their teachers care about them. Once this trust has been established, education can begin. I like to take the time to get to know my students. If I can make learning relevant to the individual student, it will be much more effective. This means using material and content that interests the student, and finding out what motivates them to learn. In doing so, I can help my students be successful learners. I have held several elementary level leave replacement positions, as well as a Part time reading position. I taught fifth grade in a NYC Public School for four years, and I presently work with preschoolers and toddlers on Long Island, with Bright Horizons. I have tutored students in reading, wri

I strongly belive in Differentiated Instruction. Every student, no matter what age, has their own learning style. Working toward learning what style (auditory, visual or by using manipulatives such as cards, tiles, etc.) works best for them is the key to success. Through patience and confience boosting your child can meet their potential. I began tutoring Math and Spanish when I was sixteen. After seeing how I could help students ccelerate in Mathematics, it was the key to me staying in the teaching field. I began teaching at a Middle School right out of graduation and have loved it ever since. In college, I took a course which studied the programs of Microsoft Office and networking. I incorporate Microsoft Excel and Word programs into my Middle School Math curriculum every year to teach my students appropriate data display and how to write papers about Math.

As a teacher and tutor to Housatonic Community College students for the past four years, I have helped a variety of students in the areas of Math and Science. The HCC student body is greatly varied in age and ability level. This variety of students has allowed me the experience to educate many different individuals with many different learning styles. I have worked as a math and science tutor for the HCC Academic Support Center, I currently teach two non-credit math courses for HCC Continuing Education, and I also currently tutor in remedial math classes. Aside from my teaching experience at HCC, I have tutored multiple high school and middle school students from many different parts of Fairfield County in the areas of math and science. Teaching is my passion. I have worked with students from 11 to 70 years old. No two people learn in the same way, and no two people can be taught in

I find careful lesson planning, addressing students' multiple intelligences and learning styles are the keys to a successful learning experience. Additionally, I continually look for ways in which I can bring the curriculum to life. For example, I often use performance in class, or ask students to create a storyboard or visual representation of the material we are discussing to enable the student to read the text closely and interpret its meaning. In teaching, I have seen the power of education. I have seen it empower students and make them feel they can accomplish their goals. My goal is always to help my students be the most successful they can be in the classroom and in their lives. After graduating with a BA in Creative Writing, I spent two years teaching adult literacy classes until 1997, when I stayed home to raise my family. During that time, I attended graduate school part
