Highly Qualified Certified Master Teacher

As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student.
Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.

I would describe my teaching style as supportive and encouraging.
I am an English major from Stony Brook University and a law school graduate from St. John's University School of Law.

I am a retired college English professor who taught several college transfer courses at the community college level. I also worked as a tutor for several years at the college. I hold a master's degree in Creative Writing and English Literature. My undergraduate degree is in Speech Correction. Currently, I am writing screenplays and making short films.
Because I have been teaching since the 1970s, I have extensive experience in several teaching styles and have a creative sensibility. I prefer to assess the student before making a determination as to the choice of learning strategies. I work well in a one-on-one approach.

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus.
Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have more than 15 years experience in the public schools at both the elementary and high school levels. My experience entails working with students who have a variety of needs including learning differences, emotional needs, mental health issues and behavioral needs.
I enjoy being with children, watching them progress and develop as they learn. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the joy of a child who masters a new task. Adolescents are my favorite people in the world. I connect easily with them. I honor every youth's abilities and strengths and help them work on their deficits with patience and respect. I believe firmly that each child can be engaged.

As a graduate from a credited state institution such as Thomas Edison State Collge of NJ, I was driven to achieve all of my goals within the English language.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very patient. Before every lesson I review past lessons to ensure we are not building a castle on sand. I pass on to the student the ability to convey his acquired knowledge under test conditions. I try to make a difference in each student’s life. I hope to leave the student satisfied and happy at the end of each lesson and eager for the next lesson. A successful lesson takes away the student’s fear of his or her classroom. I take great satisfaction from successful tutoring.
I earned my BA in Political Science and graduated from one of the best state schools in the United States, then went to law school and graduated near the top of my class. Both degrees involved large and complex amounts of reading and writing as well as excellent study habits. For the past five years as part of my job I taught reading and writing to individuals with developmental disabilities. I am ... read more

I have been working in public accounting for 17 years. I have supervised accounting and support staff for the last 10 years, and know that I have an ability to explain accounting concepts in understandable terms. I also am a mother, and feel the best way to help someone learn something is not through intimidation but by making them comfortable and relaxed. My dream has always been to teach. Knowledge in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and tax law. Prepared and analyzed financial statements, statutory requirements, auditing, reconciling revenue and expenses, and establishing internal control.
I have never had a formal teaching position. However, in working with staff accountants in the firm I worked in, I was the one that helped explain issues and have always been told that I was very easy to approach and never intimidating. I have always felt that you do not m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English comprehension, composition, grammar, punctuation and spelling. I can also tutor in basic math, social studies and biology. I have related skills in study tactics, test preparedness, research strategies, and using the computer.
For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having tro ... read more

I prefer to maintain an open dialogue with students to identify key areas of weakness in understandings and study methods. I teach historical studies within a narrative to maintain the continuity and relevance of the information. I excel at finding ways to increase a student's retention of material. I am well-equipped to accommodate students with learning disabilities and varied backgrounds in education. I believe in setting clear goals for progress. I always aim to expand a student's general understanding of the world to help them process a broader range of information. I feel that it is just as important for a student to learn his subject as it is for that student to learn to research and teach themselves.
I began my tutoring experience as a high school senior under the supervision of school's principal. This experience was primarily to help students with English composition and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I find that teachers are most effective when they get to know the children. What interests/motivates them. Using that information I create lessons that are specifically suited for them. By using a variety of resources I help students maximize their potential by realizing that learning can be fun.
After receiving my teaching degree in May 2004 I was a substitute teacher in Washington State for 6 months. Then I spent the next 27 (Jan. 2005- Apr. 2007)months working as a Teacher Collaborator in the United States Peace Corps. Upon successful completion of the Peace Corps I moved to London, England and taught 6th grade from 2007-2010. During that time I did 1-1 tutoring with 10 children for a total of 100 hours. Tutoring was primarily in Math.
