I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies. I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.

I am a recent graduate from Pace University in Pleasantville,NY. I graduated with a Bachelor degree in International Business Management and a minor in Italian studies. Through this education I have learned writing and presentation skills that are useful for today. I have also learned many languages such as Italian, Spanish and Portuguese throughout my years of study and traveling abroad. For seven years now, I have been babysitting for many different children and age groups. While I babysit I usually help them with homework or engage them in some sort of activity depending on the age. The ages range from 6 months to 9 years of age. I love working with children. It was one of my first jobs as a teenager and it is so rewarding to see children learn and thank you for your help. I am available and willing to help your child as much as I can.

After rigorous study at a worldly and highly intellectual Liberal Arts College in Wisconsin, I learned to see and study people and their cultures with a critical eye. At Beloit College, I was pushed to study outside of the box, in domains where I was not academically strong, broadening my skills and expanding my knowledge, even though it may have been an uncomfortable challenge. I found my passion, in French/Culture and Music. I have worked with children and young adults inside and outside of education for most of my life. I continue to do so as a French Teacher at a private Montessori Pre-School. I am a highly capable to tutor in: French, English, Art, Music, or Physical Education. I feel comfortable and very much enjoy working with people ranging from children to college students. I approach teaching with energy and understanding and will always adapt my methods to different learning s

My commitment to tutoring as community service started in High School and continued through my years as an undergraduate at Earlham College. I have been a tutor/mentor for 7 years, teaching Life Skills, English, Social Studies, History, Biology, Chemistry, English, French, Piano, Voice, and Music Theory. My education has provided me with extensive experience with proofreading, editing, laboratory and field research and the ensuing reports, papers, and presentations. I have been a tutor, mentor, au pair, babysitter, and teaching assistant. Through these experiences, I have grown into a patient teacher who rejoices in the small and the large achievements of my students. I believe that children and young adults can be focused, efficient learners if they are taught learning skills that will help them throughout their lives.
