Special Educator with many hats and minds to utilize.

Since the year 1997, I have worked with many students in Baltimore City and Howard County School system as an aid, reading assistant, substitute teacher for many subject areas including Science, Art, Health, and (long-term) English, High Subject (for all subjects) and a Special Educator that carries with many titles and various needs including transitions, SST, 504, and committees.
I believe that we all learn better one way versus another but it does not negate the many ways of learning as well. As a teacher I believe that everyone wants to learn but many are unable or have not been able to see the connections it has on our lives and that we all have talents and skills that needs support, encouragement or attention. Exploring, memorization, practice, demonstrate in as many ways are all but a few ways to instruct, guide and facilitate.

Chess is one of my top subjects! I can teach students anywhere from beginner up to those starting serious tournament play.

I prefer to work with students one on one, getting a sense of their skill level, and then engaging with them where they are at to help them work towards their own personal goals.
I have been playing chess for close to seven years, many of those at the tournament level. I was a natural when I started, and have only grown in my concepts of the logic and theory of the game. I am also a published author, and can easily teach any student to understand writing in new ways so that they can improve not only the accuracy but the style of their writing.

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always tailor lessons to students’ level and interests. For example if a student is interested in cooking I will talk about the cuisine of France and terms too use when talking about preparing meals. I like to use drama techniques to facilitate learning as it helps to the student to feel comfortable in situations they would encounter when they are traveling using the foreign language. I like to make the lessons as fun as possible which makes learning the language enjoyable.
I have instructed beginning, intermediate, and advanced French and English language and literature to adults and children from diverse backgrounds. I am currently teaching French at Baltimore County Community College. I have also instructed French at Towson University and the Alliance Francaise in New York. In France I taught English at Maison Ritt Centre Culture in La Ciotat to children and adults. At La ... read more

I have taught every grade level from Pre-Kindergarten to college in my 30 years in the schools of Connecticut, New York, and Maryland. I was an assistant principal for six years, have taught both academic classroom core subjects and dramatic arts, and have written curriculum for a great variety of settings. I love teaching mathematics and writing, because they are logical and marvelous as life-long tools. I believe the same for reading and literature. My formal training as a stage actor and radio announcer/dj allow me to use my voice as a valuable tool in communicating with students. I love teaching almost as much as I love learning!
Stylistically, I am a showman, a questioner, and possessed of a strong desire to reach every one of my students. I try to connect with each student on a friendly and comfortable level so that confidence-building is easy. It is important for me to find ... read more

I have taught in urban and rural settings in Baltimore City and in the County. I hold two masters degrees, one in teaching and one in counseling, which combined have aided in my teaching experiences. I have tutored off and on for different companies.
I love to watch a child use their imagination and understand new information. The "a-ha" experience is wonderful to watch unfurl. I believe that all children should be able to learn in some way and it is up to the teacher to figure out which way is most appropriate for each student.

I have almost 10 years of experience of teaching students for the SAT,GRE, and specific subjects, combined. It started during my freshman year (1999) at Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL). I tutored students through college in Biology, Chemistry and the SAT. Out of this experience, I instructed students for multiple semesters in a Biology Lab course. After I graduated from Wheaton (2003), I entered a doctoral (Ph.D.) program at Johns Hopkins Medical School to study Molecular Biology. During my time in Baltimore, I have tutored a wide range of students for the SAT with a company called StudySmart, and have also tutored students privately for the GRE at Loyola, Johns Hopkins and Goucher College. Having this experience of teaching has prepared me for a company like Advanced Learners, which is looking for committed, qualified, and experienced instructors.

A dedicated, organized and professional yet flexible educator with several years experience in teaching French, I believe that motivating students is the most important factor for the teaching/learning experience. My experience tells me that if students are not actively participating in class, they are not learning. Therefore, I believe that students must be active learners. My job as an educator is to guide them in their learning process, to learn about their learning styles and teach them in a personalized manner to the extent possible, to entice their curiosity and interest to learn more. Furthermore, I insist on the memorization by repetition by using mnemonic tricks, flash cards, reviews.
As a French native and a resident of the United States, I developed a profound interest in foreign languages and teaching French. My degree in Computer Science, mathematics and my subsequent ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While attaining a BS in Mathematics at Penn State University, I was heavily involved in peer tutoring. For two semesters I spent 10-20 hours per week working one-on-one with students struggling or seeking a higher level of success in courses ranging from pre-algebra to calculus 2. Though I've never tutored a physics student, I've taken several course and am well enabled to tutor in this area as well. Additionally, I acted as a supplemental instructor for calculus 2. In this role I attended lectures to gauge class progression. I met twice a week with its students to ascertain their personal understanding and tailored my lectures and help sessions accordingly.
I believe the first key to learning is enthusiasm. I like to offer real world applications and display my own enthusiasm to instill a positive attitude towards learning in each child. After that foundation is established, I fee ... read more
