A Little Bit About Me...

Many students have difficulty in a classroom setting because the teacher teaches one way, while not all students learn the same way. I believe in getting to know my students during our initial sessions to discover how they learn. Listening and picking up on verbal and body language cues allows me to relate with students. Patience and perseverance are my strong points. If one method doesn’t work, we will try another until we get it right. Your child and I will become a learning team. Parents will also become a part of that team. Our working together is crucial to your child’s success. All students can learn to their potential given the opportunity.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like a jump right in style that is forthright and honest. I have a sense of humor, and will use it teaching, but only sparingly. I believe that the student's desire to learn is the biggest factor in his or her mastering information. I have a lot of experience working with students who have had terrible education experiences, who have not had support at home, who have made bad personal decisions. These all effect knowledge, but not the ability to learn. I love to see students grasp something that has eluded them previously. I firmly believe that children's and adults lives can be changed for the better from good teaching, and I strive to impart real skills and develop character.

After graduating college in 2006 with a degree in English I accepted the position of service coordinator in a private Catholic High School. Along with creating meaningful service experiences and coordinating immersion trips, I have been teaching 9th grade religion for 5 years. I have worked with students of all ages, but my experience tutoring is primarily with English term papers. Currently I am studying to be a school counselor and am skilled in college counseling as well as all school counseling curriculum. In May of 2012 I will be certified by the state of Maryland board of Education as a counselor in grades K-12.
I have taught 3 year olds, 8 year olds, 12 year olds and high school students and the one thing they all have in common is that they all need a structured environment to reach their academic potential. I believe that it is important to hold students to high expecta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the faculty of the school in which I worked and also plan and devise curriculum suggestions with the administration of the school district. I feel that my experience will enable me to help students with their tutoring needs.
I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many stu ... read more

I took a few classes on teaching at a small community college while I was still in high school. I still am considering becoming a teacher after going back to school to complete my major in accounting. I've always been a stronger believer in one-on-one teaching working more proficiently then being taught in a classroom. I am very patient and hard-working. I had an internship at an under-priviledged daycare for local children in Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever accomplished. I understand the difficulty in learning new things takes time and patience so I am fully willing to diligently work to help encourage students to strive to reach goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

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, support, and encouragement. My goal as a teacher is not only to educate but to give students the tools and knowledge with which to teach themselves in the future.

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.

I believe that every child has a right to learn. I believe that, no matter what kind of problem or learning disability that student has, that he/she deserves to learn. It is the responsibility, not only of the teacher, but the parents, grandparents, siblings and community to help children receive the best education that they can. I believe that all children learn differently. Some learn through doing; some through listening; others are a combination. I teach to each child in the way that best helps them to learn.
While completing my masters in Special Education, I have learned creative ways to help children with special needs that I work with. I have designed and coordinated a Resource Center to help students with special needs learn and achieve at their level. I have also designed and implemented a school for children with special needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in the power of positive teaching. I think that most students live up to or down to your expectations. If you expect them to do well, they frequently do. Sometimes all that is needed is for teachers and other persons whose opinions matter to exhibit faith in the student's ability. But it is also often necessary to help them identify what doesn't work and find new approaches that will. Writing is a skill that is crucial to academic success in college; students must excel in writing to do well in an academic environment. Writing is also a useful skill when it comes to thinking and to organizing one's thoughts. I am most comfortable with tutoring students who are preparing for college.

I believe that each student brings something different to the classroom. In my classroom, I want to foster the students' ideas and thoughts. I want the students to have a sense of pride in their thoughts. I am aware that students have different learning styles, so I am capable of altering my own style to make sure each student grasps the concepts that I want them to learn.
During my undergraduate career, I student taught ninth grade English at Glasgow High School. I taught five 9CP courses and 1 SAT Prep course. So I have experience working with students and I am very skilled in teaching English Language Arts concepts.

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.
