I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher. I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and les

I have extensive experience training students on computer applications. My first experience was in 1993 while attending college up in Albany. I trained users on MS Office after they converted from DOS based applications to Windows based applications. I also consulted in the user room at SUNY Albany. Over the years I have trained professionals on HR Systems applications, and also have trained some professionals on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications. I have experience teaching in a group setting and one-on-one. I am very comfortable presenting and have done so both in a training and non-training environment. My minor in communications was mostly presentations, and therefore I am very comfortable speaking in front of a group of people. I try to be as interactive as possible. I believe that hands-on experience is the best way to learn an application.

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort. I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.

I believe that a good education paves the path for successful careers. Achieving a level of excellence in school opened up opportunities for me when I first graduated from college in the Accounting program. My dream was to work in the investment banking industry. Based on my academic achievement, I received a job offer to work in a prestigious Wall Street firm. After spending over a decade in this industry, I wanted to utilize my business knowledge to teach others. I had tutored my son for years and realized the difference that my efforts had made on his grades. I pursued a graduate degree in Education followed by my teaching certification. I enjoy the rewards derived from working with young people. I believe that every child is different. Every child has the potential to achieve academic success.

I believe teaching is an art to achieve positive and enjoyable results. I consider my students as peers and try to entertain the teaching with humorous analogies/metaphors. I try to humanize while explaining the meanings to be aware of practical use. I avoid spoon feeding and try to get the answers from the student itself. Eventually, th

As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Over the past 4 years I have tutored several individuals in English focusing mostly on grammar and writing skills. Several of my students have gone on to graduate degrees at Ivy League institutions such as Columbia and Yale Universities. I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students.
