Well mannered, easy going, thoughtful & experienced teacher

I have a very gentle and nurturing style of teaching. I NEVER scold or allow a student to feel bad about his/her work. I try to give an optimistic approach to each student and encourage their successes, and focus on improving their weaknesses. I leave parenting to the parents.

Grammar is one of my top subjects! I am concerned about the misuse of language format and the poor impression which is conveyed when people are not up to par with grammar.

I have taught English at the secondary school level in New York City. I have also worked for publishing companies and edited books, magazine articles, and press releases. In the last decade I have worked within the State University System of New York in the grants and contracts field. I have written grants and administered grants monies for program use.
I enjoy an interactive style with students rather than relying on teaching straight from the text book or using a lecture format.

English Language Arts Teacher

I have currently spent over 350 hours in a variety of school settings. From private school to public, first grade to twelfth, I have seen it all. The majority of my experience has taken place in a suburban middle school, however I have also spent a reasonable ammount of time working with inner city high school students. I double majored in college to recieve a bachelors degree in literature and writing, and spent a full year interning at a student run newspaper as a journalist and copy editor. I have tutored middle school students with a variety of learning disabilities, as well as SAT prep for high school students. I am currently registered for a series of NYS tests to earn my certification to teach.
I believe that real learning takes place when students are actively engaged in the material. Finding the right materials to teach with will often inspire intrinsic motivation.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is not for everyone, but I knew it was for me when I started student teaching and felt the adrenaline rush of 25 eyes staring up at me for guidance. I feel the need to spread as much knowledge as possible to the up and coming generations.I always feel rewarded when the day ends because I was able to help students get a better grasp on life. I also believe that the student is the teacher as well. Through my experiance, a student can teach an instructor just as much as the instructor can teach them. I am very laid back yet can still hold the fine line of being direct and rigorous at the same time. I am excited to teach anyone and everyone. It is with out question that my education will still continue as I apply to graduate school.
As A recent graduate from a Liberal Arts School, I found it easy to connect with teaching as my calling. I have always driven for high levels of e ... read more

I believe that all children are capable of learning, but many experience barriers that inhibit the learning process. My strategy is to identify these barriers, remove them whenever possible, or otherwise embrace them and work within the circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome. My background in counseling and psychology has proven invaluable in the classroom and in collaborating with parents and educators. I am looking into the process of becoming a certified teacher, and will strive to make a difference in your child's life, helping them become more successful and enthusiastic learners.
I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-12 since 2001 and worked as a tutor for Siena's Higher Education Opportunity Program.

I believe in letting children be themselves, in developing a comfortable rapport with each student so that true learning can take place. I firmly believe in discovery learning and in piquing a child's natural curiosity. My aim is to find the proper teaching approach for each student by analyzing his or her strengths and weaknesses, and by promoting his or her self-esteem and unique talents. Teaching has been a gratifying part of my past career, and I would like to return to this field as soon as possible.
As a graduate of Bard College, where I earned a degree in English literature, I have acquired an excellent background in the discipline of writing and composition. I have built upon this experience by earning two Master's degrees, one in Special Education and the other in Library Science.

I have 11 years of teaching experience in various settings. I have taught in public and private schools. For six years, I was a lead teacher in a Montessori Elementary classroom. During this time, I studied the curriculum and philosophy of Montessori Education. I have gained many skills through this experience that I can share with your child that will lead to success. I have also worked closely with aligning curriculum to New York State Learning Standards, to assure that my students are meeting state standards.
I believe that children learn best when they are engaged in meaningful, interesting work. My goal is to provide an educational experience in which your child will build skills and confidence. I rarely use worksheets and textbooks to teach these skills. I prefer to make and use games and activities that will help your child master necessary skills. Learning is fun!
