Experienced and Proactive Educator

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

Bringing fun and learning together to achieve success!

Many years of experience teaching, working, and tutoring children of all ages. Every child learns in a different way. I want to be able to find the best way and help children have fun while learning. It is important to establish what learning method works best for a child before teaching can take place. A child will be successful if they are having fun and learning in a style that they feel comfortable with.
Hands on learning, use of technology, books, group learning, creative role play of different ways to solve problems.

I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences.
I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be j ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with students of many ages having a wide range of interests, strengths, and needs and I would like to continue providing encouragement and assistance to others on an individual basis. I have always enjoyed writing and sharing ideas and strategies with students. Throughout my years of classroom teaching, natural history, biographical studies, arts, crafts, and literature have provided content for lessons and have helped many students begin and complete their writing projects. Much of my focus has been to help others find a connection to subject matter and make learning authentic, useful, and meaningful.
I am patient and enjoy using a wide variety of materials and methods as I work. I believe in learning along with my students, finding ways to create interesting and memorable lessons, tackling the rough spots together, building confidence and skills steadily and sur ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since completing my BA in English (with a minor in Communication), I have been responsible for teaching children and adults in a variety of settings ranging from museums to the classroom. I also earned an MA in Public History and, as such, learned extensive grammatical skills and became a strong writer. I would value the opportunity to help your child succeed in preparing for college.
I believe that all children are born with great potential. My job, as a tutor, is to help young people achieve their best. I am patient, considerate and an excellent listener. I believe that once children recognize their own potential they will strive to succeed. A good educator can make a world of difference to a child. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

When it comes to reading, I believe most of all in creating an interest for the subject. That goes for all ages. I encourage students to bring reading materials that peek their interest to help them enjoy while learning. For some students that would be fiction, for others it's a game manual. The idea is to start where the child's curiosity lays and move from there into the required readings. For older students there are clear step-by-step ways to understand how to analyze text, come up with a thesis and how to write a focused essay. I'm easygoing and understanding, but firm when necessary. I'm a mother of two honor roll teenagers, who like me, love to read and always keep at least two books on their nightstands.
I have worked as a freelance writer for various publications in the Hudson Valley area since 2002 and I have a BA in Writing. I have taught at schools in New York City a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always known I wanted to work with children. I enjoy working in classrooms, as well as in the more relaxed settings, such as summer and after-school programs. I graduated in 2005 from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and a concentration in Spanish. I have used my educational knowledge as a substitute teacher, working in grades K-12. I have also had the wonderful opportunity to work on a cruise ship for 3 years, starting out in the youth program onboard.
I believe all children deserve to be given the chance to learn. I understand that not everyone learns the same way; differentiated forms of instruction are an important part of the day to day teaching method. I find that I am patient with children, allowing them to work at their own speed, and encouraging them to work to the best of their abilities. I encou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an individual with experience and an educational background in child and adolescent clinical psychology, I believe I have a unique perspective in working with this population. I enjoy working with youth of all developmental levels. I have frequently received feedback that I am a patient, compassionate, mild mannered, and highly motivated individual. Having worked within a multiple intelligence framework, I believe that each child has his or her own unique strengths and learning style. Therefore, it is important to identify and apply such strengths and learning styles to advance a child’s progress. My goal across contexts is to make a positive impact in children's lives, as I believe a sole individual possesses such power.
Currently as a doctorate student I have earned two degrees, a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in clinical psychology. Also, I am currently working on doctorate ... read more

I am a very interactive, do-it-yourself kind of educator. There is nothing more liberating and inspiring than understanding and recognizing the limitlessness of one's own ability. With just the right push from me, our children can reach unbeleivably great heights!
I do not have a lot of experience in the teaching field but I am a natural born teacher. I have been a mentor to many people in my life; friends, co-workers, even family members would say the same. If given the opportunity I will be able to grow with and enjoy the success of all my students. We will indulge in the passion of education!

A Little Bit About Me...

I love children for their unabashed honesty. I treat them with respect and do my utmost to listen deeply to their needs. I'm a very patient, detail-oriented person and frequently use humor to create an environment that the child finds is fun in which to learn and one where both mentor and child have mutual respect. A willingness/openness to learn the challenging subjects is key on the child's part. It is a joy to help a child learn and watch them grow more confident in the process.
I have enjoyed the written word my entire life. I have written poetry, screenplays, short stories, advertising copy, grants, business plans, marketing plans, newsletters and press releases. My understanding of grammar and syntax is second nature to me. I have tutored children in English (reading and writing) for more than 15 years.
