A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a Master's degree in Education and am certified to teach Literacy Education in New York State.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a substitute teacher in the Commack School District for over ten years. I love helping my students reach their goals and feel so gratified in doing so. It gives me great pleasure when I see that look on a child's face when they "get it" I have helped students who have an IEP and need that extra encouragement to keep focused and remain determined.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way.

More About This Tutor...

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 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 ef ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is firm and strong. I don't tolerate any nonsense in the classroom. I expect students to act like students. I give them respect and I expect respect in return. I have rules they must follow and when these are broken there are serious consequences. School is for learning, not playing. Playing is done on their own time, not mine.
I have been an ESL teacher for 12 years in various school settings. I believe the experiences I have had in the different schools have prepared me to deal with the different situations I have had to face. For example, There have been instances when I have had to teach special education students and this required a special kind of teaching technique. While at other times I have had to teach my ESl students, and my bilingual Spanish skills have come in quite handy. Also, when I was teaching mainstream classes and fights have broken ou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While our society uses exams to help track students, I do not merely "teach to the test." I believe that students need to develop skills in critical thinking, analysis and grasping concepts fully, in order to get their own understanding,so as to be well rounded in their academic success. I am also an educator/tutor who believes in the basics: nothing is a worthy substitute for reading, writing and effective questioning that encourages children to think on their own. Learning should be positive for both student and teacher with the responsibility of the outcome resting on all who desire success for the student.
I have been an educator and administrator for over 20 years. While I am certified in English for middle school through high school, I also assist younger students as I work with several elementary schools within the Syosset School District. I am familiar with Regents and ... read more

I believe that it is most important to create a learning environment that allows a student to feel successful every step of the way. Many years ago, as a Juvenile Probation Officer I discovered that there are three key ingredients to working with young people: trust, sensitivity and encouragement. Beyond the goal of mastering course materials, I would strive to instill in the student that I tutor, that he or she is worthy and capable. It’s very much a balancing act: A student should know that I am approachable, friendly and interested, but at the same time establishing and maintaining the proper boundaries between student and teacher.
My undergraduate degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree was a foundation for my career in writing, editing and research in the financial communications field. I have learned about the importance of clarity, detail and accuracy in writing. As an ... read more

I believe in encouraging all individuals to read, write and learn in a positive way that best fits his or her specific learning needs. The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.
