When students have both an academic instructor and a caring educator they are provided with a unique learning experience and able to learn and grow as an individual. Each child deserves a right to a fair education, and it is my number one priority as an educator to provide that. The impact a teacher makes on a child can last forever. Children may forget some of the facts they were taught, but they will always remember how the teacher interacted with them. In my eyes every child is a gift and though they may not all learn the same, or act the same; every one of them deserves to be treated with respect and provided with a meaningful learning experience.
Besides my formal degrees, I believe it is my experience that makes me highly qualified for a tutoring position. My experiences include working in rural, urban and suburban school districts. I have also worked with children with disab ... read more

Sine high school, I have worked with children in BOCES. However, I started college later in life, after children and marriage. I wanted to provide my children with an education that I couldn't afford since I knew nothing of grants in 1974. I started with my AA and did not stop until I achieved my MS. My education has taught me discipline, research, study habits, and critical thinking skills. I have tutored students K-12; in Language Arts, Reading, Literature, English, Parenting, Nutrition, Careers, and electives for 11 years. Each individual student has taught me something new.
My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning ... read more

My experiences have made me realize that I truly have a passion for teaching and love to observe children express their creativity and imagination in their work. I strive to create lifelong learners who continue to have excitement for learning and who are passionate about school each and every day.
I have worked with children from grades K-9; primarily focusing on children in grades K-6. Over the past few years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with children of diverse groups, including those students with disabilities, those students performing at grade level, and those students who were performing above grade level as well. I now hold three New York State Certifications, and a masters degree in teaching. My certifications are childhood education 1-6, Special Education 1-6, and Literacy B-6. I have been a student teacher, an intern, and am currently working as a s ... read more

Having recently completed a dual Masters degree in Childhood Education and Special Education, I have had the pleasure of working with children in grades 1 - 6 in both special education and general education settings. I have taught the gifted and talented, children with learning disabilities, those on the autism spectrum, and students with physical disabilities. This Masters program, which I have completed with a 3.98 GPA, has allowed me to further hone my already well-developed grammatical and writing skills. Furthermore, in 2006, I completed my Bachelors degree (Cum Laude) in Psychology, with a Minor in English, which has provided me with a unique and valuable ability to understand students’ cognitive and emotional development.
The greatest reward in teaching is when a student realizes his or her own potential; to achieve this, educators must tailor lessons to a child’s individua ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion! I believe that every child has a person learning style and that once a teacher can tap into the child's interests and find a way to engage them in their own learning, this will lead the child on a road to success!
Over the years, I have had the ability to work in various grade levels in various school districts. During my student teaching I had the chance to teach first and fourth grade. After graduating, I subbed in many school districts throughout the Capital Region. I worked as a teacher's assistant in a self-contained classroom serving children between first and third grade. I had the opportunity to work one on one with them and contribute to helping them successfully reach some of their IEP goals. I currently work as a Pre-k teacher in a local elementary school and work to meet their indiviual needs every day.

Before earning a BA in Biology at Skidmore College and after graduating high school, I took three years off to play hockey. Concurrently, I enrolled in classes at Mount Wachusett Community College in Massachusetts and tutored in the math department. I tutored students in algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and some calculus. At Skidmore I continued in math, taking calculus I, II, and III, and linear algebra before focusing my attention on molecular biology. I habitually studied with my classmates and I found great satisfaction helping others understand complex subject matter. The challenge to explain concepts in alternative ways in order to cater to different learning styles was enriching to my own understanding. Thus, while bolstering my own knowledge of the material, I developed the skills needed to be a superior tutor.
My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for ac ... read more

I realize the importance a child’s academic instruction plays in their future. I am well prepared, seeing as I have a B.A in English, to provide my students with a concrete and enticing curriculum. I have witnessed and engaged in remarkable teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of educational settings, in which I learned various ways to create an energizing and productive learning environment that will promote a genuine interest in English and all of its wondrous offerings. All of my principals, department heads, and other members of the faculty have recognized that I have created constructive changes in students’ academic and overall attitudes and performance. I believe that my intense energy, exceptional education, experience and ability to motivate every child in my class combine to make me a teacher who is ready and dedicated to help her stu ... read more
