Upon my decision to return to college and obtain my BS degree, it was discovered that I possessed an uncanny, natural talent involving all aspects of the studies surrounding English. Reading, comprehension, symbolism, poetry, creative writing, poise, maturitym ,ect. After that placement exam, it was decided that I did not have to take any English courses, or, I would take more advanced courses. I did choose the latter. Throughout the last 10 years, I have helped my husband, brother, all of my children, etc. I have tutored them on how to write a well developed paper on their topic of choice, and have it read showing the expertise of the writer. I possess the same talents when it comes to proper grammar. I also teach Catholisim to the 8th grade once per week for 2 hours. I prepare them for the sacrament of confirmation.

Since middle school, I have been tutoring my classmates on a casual level. I have helped them with difficult concepts, taught them how to outline, and, continuing even now to law students, I have read numerous Research, English, and Composition papers. In my last semester of college, I worked at our campus Writing Center as a tutor and was hired to be a private tutor for an eight-year-old home-schooled student. As an MFA student, I had been in an active workshop for two years, critiquing an average of 50 pages of creative writing per week. As a volunteer, I work one-on-one with a hospital patient on poetry once a week. I have a casual teaching style, one that I have kept with me since I was young.

I have always treasured working with children. I found my interest when I started babysitting at age 11. I quickly found that my time spent having fun and entertaining children was something I truly enjoyed. As a educator, I understand that all students learn differently. I work at getting to know all my students on a individual level. This helps to keep student’s interests in mind and incorporate it into what we are currently learning. Paying attention to all learning styles in the classroom helps me to see what some students learn easy and also what some students have difficulty learning. By doing so I am able to meet with students and work on their area of difficulty and try to help them understand the information in the way that is best possible for them to learn. As a second year teacher, I have much experience working with children of various ages. I have taught Kindergarten, Fourt

During college, I tutored a group of my peers in several courses. Some of them being, but not limited to: small group communication, interpersonal communication, accounting, intermediate algebra, and multimedia and graphic design. My teaching style is very simplistic. I find that things make sense and become easier to do when you convey the instructions or operations in a clear and simple manner. I love breaking things down and explaining them, so that when the whole picture is viewed, it all makes sense. I am very patient and understanding. I am also very systematic and logical and try to teach in that way.

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the

My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my discipline. What I find is that teaching ultimately blends all of my favorite qualities--listening, learning, discipline, direction and conversation--in order to be successful. I am blessed with a good, solid education from two fantastic institutions, Brown University and the University of Chicago. I have a wide range of experience from tutoring when I was younger. I also have the liberal arts foundation, and fantastic study habits, which will be useful tools to pass on to your son or daughter. My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify a

I am the perfect candidate to teach and tutor children. I understand the importance of a good education and what a difference it can make in a person’s life. I believe that all children need a chance to excel in education. It is my philosophy that respect between student and teacher must be established over a course of time in order to improve on his or her educational growth. Furthermore, classroom management must be created; because a healthy learning environment is of the utmost importance. I believe that all children can learn. Some may struggle, but through the use of different teaching styles he or she will succeed. I am patient, hard working, and will never give up on a child who needs help. It gives me great joy to help students achieve. I was very fortunate to attend Meredith College in Raleigh, NC where they teach students to be leaders and exceptional educators. I re
