My goal is to meet your child's needs and help them succeed

I have been tutoring individually for over 8 years for multiple families and children. I have been in child care as a nanny for the past 3 years. Before becoming a nanny I worked as a preschool teacher for about 2 years. My knowledge gained through my experiences in teaching and child care have given me useful tools to help meet the needs of my students and help them to be successful in school and in life.
I am a flexible tutor and am able to switch up my teaching styles based on the strengths, preferences, interests and needs (what I like to call their SPINs). I try to meet each individual student's needs using a variety of teaching strategies and techniques based on their learning style(s).

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with kindergarden through Adulthood, I work with a student to help them get to where they can be their best. Additionally, it is always my mission to teach the student self confidence and basic study skills in order for them to compete with their classmates or to compete with others similarly situated. I work with students one on one or in a small classroom setting. I get the children actively involved in the learning process and I help them to learn how to conquer their study weaknesses.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught both regular and special education, early childhood, speech/language correction, and elementary Spanish, before moving into supervisor, principal and, finally, superintendent positions in public schools in southern NJ. As an administrator, I have mentored teachers, given workshops, and focused on the best professional development possible. Early reading, writing, and math skills are my passion, although I have taught students from 4-18 years of age.
I love working with children and have continued to find ways to instruct even during my time as an adminstrator. I am fully trained and certified in Orton-Gillingham techniques to help children and adults with dyslexia. I enjoy helping my students discover connections as they learn, and use engaging, hands-on techniques to keep lessons interesting. I incorporate fun (including origami) whenever possible, especially imp ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My love for learning drives me to do all that I can to make learning fun and motivating for others. I employ Gardner's eight multiple intelligences into my teaching so that material is presented in various ways. This allows students with different learning styles to be reached and to gain knowledge during each lesson. Hands-on learning is a mainstay of my teaching style as most children learn best from concrete learning. My aim is to invoke a love of learning in all the students I work with.
Education is a large part of who I am. I have earned two Bachelor degrees, BS in Human Development and Family Studies as well as a BA in Sociology. I initially worked in the field of social work upon graduation which gave me great insight into family life, sociological influences, and the impact of socio-economic factors on education. I feel I am better prepared to deal with the differen ... read more

My passion for teaching is open forum. I meet the students where they are. some are visual, some hands on and some automated. I pace the student and test in areas of weakness. I provide computer advance learning as well as class and peer mentoring. I use all types of devices such as field trips, school resources, library and hands on life experences to get the students more involved.

I believe in education and feel that everyone has the right to a solid foundation in learning to begin or expand their lives. Most of my experience comes with children, but I have no issues in working with people of all ages. People tell me that I am caring, compassionate, and helpful in times of need. I teach others with an emphasis on making the conditions comfortable for a student. A person at any age will learn the most if they are treated with respect and given ample time to absorb the information. I strongly believe it is my job to ensure that the student has trust in me and that I give 100% of my time and energy to each student.

I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but also spent considerable time taking math and science courses. My writing skills also significantly developed during this time, and particularly came to full fruition during my graduate work in Art History. For both my BA and MA degrees, I had to produce unique, independently researched theses that were at least 12,000 words in length. Since then, I have delved into the sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where I completed all necessary pre-medical coursework. I have also been working with special needs children in Philadelphia public ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My goal as a teacher is to effectively engage my students, and help them become life long learners. I believe this goal can be achieved by getting to know my students both personally and academically, and tailoring instruction to meet their needs. I try to help students make connections to the real world, so they more fully understand the importance of learning new material. I also like to integrate technology because it allows me to individualize for each student appropriately. When a student feels safe in the classroom, he/she wants to learn, and things that may have been a struggle at one point, will become easier for him/her.
Presently, I teach second and third grade self-contained special education at Evergreen Avenue Elementary School in Woodbury, New Jersey. Prior to teaching elementary school, I spent six years working in a variety of roles at Holicong Middle School in Cent ... read more
