Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing world. Technology is not a substitute for literacy. It is there as a vital augmentation of learning.
Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving

I have earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering and completed 20 hours toward a MA in Teaching. In response to a desperate need for math teachers in urban schools, I completed an alternative certification program offered through Chicago Public Schools and National Louis University while teaching high school math. Through my education I have gained an extensive knowledge of Math, Chemistry and Physics and advanced Engineering concepts. I have also been trained in SAT and ACT test preparation, so I am very familiar with grammar, reading comprehension and strong essay writing techniques. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored students ranging from Jr. High through college in all these areas.

Personality plays a big part in the teaching process. It is important for the teacher to remain positive and encouraging. Each student will be motivated by different things and the teacher must recognize that. In a group atmosphere (classroom) it's important to have structure, an agenda, while at the same time ensuring that each student knows that the teacher's main goal is to help them learn. Participation is a key element. One-on-one sessions require a slightly different approach, it's more about what will it take for that student to achieve the learning objective.

I am a calm teacher who believes all students can become successful if given the individual time and attention that is needed. My goal is to help the student by modeling and then using encouragement and self-esteem building so that the student will become more confident. All children can learn and be successful when given instructional guidance that is geared toward the individual and encouragement to try their best. I strive to reach each and every child to help them be successful and achieve their potential.
I have been working with students of varying socioeconomic backgrounds as a teacher. I have not only earned my Bachelor's Degree in English, I also have a Master's in Education. I love helping students succeed! I have taught students in all elementary subjects.

While pursuing a bachelor's degree in Psychology at the College of Staten Island, CUNY, I worked as a tutor and mentor at the SEEK Department. The SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) Department provides counseling and tutoring services to freshmen who are educationally and financially disadvantaged. I tutored students in the liberal arts, prepared them for the CUNY reading and writing exams, and aided them in the selection and scheduling of courses. During the summer of 2002 I worked with the Continuing Education Department as a mentor to developmentally disabled high school students. I graduated magna cum laude and received awards for leadership and academic excellence.
As a tutor at my alma mater, I had the opportunity to work with students who learned at different speeds and who required different teaching techniques in order to grasp the material. Although ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching and working with young individuals over the course of my education has been particularly memorable. I have taught and tutored a wide array of students from Ivy league bound seniors to 4 year olds with autism. I am very open-minded and love helping others to achieve their goals and strive for excellence.
As a graduate of the University of Virginia, I was very dedicated to learning as much as possible. I double majored in Government and Sociology, yet was able to take numerous courses in other areas as well. After earning my undergraduate degree, I decided to pursue graduate school immediately. I was offered Graduate Teaching Assistantships at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. This experience was wonderful because I not only could learn in my master's level courses, but also introduce undergraduate students into the field that I was passionate about.

I believe listening is a fundamental element of teaching. I provide my students with an enhanced listenting ability in order that I may better serve their needs. I tend to work at a pace that is comfortable for your child without providing pressure or stressors. In utilizing this style of teaching, the experience becomes more enjoyable for your child which, in turn, makes learning not only essential but rewarding.
As a parent, former student, and an educator, I have been teaching children and adolescents for over ten years. I am skilled in the areas of English, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. I also have a basic knowledge of Spanish having been educated in this area as well.

I love making a positive impact in someone's life which is why I enjoy empowering through education. Mathematics is our universal language and I believe in leading by example. With my experiences at Georgia Tech, even students who may not understand English very well can learn from experiencing repetitions of mathematical problems. Once they have mastered the steps to solving certain types of math problems, it becomes easier to learn various short-cuts and methods to solving "tricky" problems. Mastering math also develops character through the determination needed to accomplish the goal, and analytical skills through the procedural process to obtaining the solution. Achieving in math is all about practice and that is what I emphasize in my teaching and tutoring.

As a graduate, summa cum laude, with degrees in English and Voice, I am a highly driven individual. With my time spent as a Writing Center Consultant, I worked directly with students with a variety of writing needs.

As a college and high school English teacher, I stress the importance of reading and writing in every class I teach. I earned my MA in English in 2006 and have been tutoring others in writing since I was an undergraduate student at UNC-C. I can also tutor in subjects such as US and World History, psychology and the arts.
I like to help students find something relavent to their everyday lives in anything they are studying. I do my best to simplify ideas so that students can comprehend and build on a solid foundation of understanding.

A Little Bit About Me...

In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.
My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level.

Having graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa Scholar from UNC-Chapel Hill, I have always achieved a level of excellence in education. I have earned two bachelor of science (B.S.) degrees in Biology and Chemistry. As a result of achieving mastery in these areas, I have tutored students in subjects such as Genetics, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and Calculus. Through tutoring, I have learned that it helps me enrich my own knowledge about the subject matter thus, allowing me to approach concepts/problems in different ways.
In my own studies I have learned the importance of gaining a firm grasp of fundamental knowledge in order to apply it to situations that one has never encountered. This style of learning is at the forefront of science and mathematics. During tutoring, I make sure that the students have properly attained the fundamental knowledge and avoid teaching only how to sol ... read more
