I grew up with a teacher in the Dominican Republic. When my Mother needed a tutor, I was the one to help. I tutored children in the 3rd grade for a year. I also helped family member and friends with homework and exams. Now I have a degree in Accounting and a certificate in Billing and Coding and lots of experience in both areas. I enjoy learning and helping others learn as well. My way of teaching is very straight forward because I like to work with students who want to learn. We all can learn if we want to. I am very understanding, hard working, patient, and a true helper. I am very committed to my students. I want to help students to be the best they can be at what they working on it.

As a Home Depot Associate, I have trained many levels of management, human resources, new associates, and tenured associates in all areas of product knowledge and management skills. I will be enrolled in a Master's program in Leadership starting in September. I am fluent in Spanish, as I was an exchange student in Bolivia during high school. I have extensive experience mentoring and training in the retail environment, and I am a volunteer at the local ESL classes. My teaching style is as varied as the students I have taught. I feel it is important to relate to the student in order to help them learn best. When there are different learning styles, I do my best to use a variety of teaching techniques in order to cater to the need of the student. I feel that follow up is important, as well as repetition and hands-on practice. I am not a lecturer. I find my best students learn one on on

I am very comfortable working with students of all ages. I am extremely patient and easy-going with a good sense of humor. I believe in enabling students to become proficient life-long learners. I try to encourage my students to look beyond the textbook in order to achieve greater enrichment in their lives. Learning should not stop at the school doors. In order to be successful in life, students need to learn how to find and utilize resources to help them grow and mature intellectually throughout their lives. It is my ultimate goal to enable students to think critically and become successful life-long learners. Over the past several years I have helped students achieve their potential in a wide variety of educational settings. I have taught several different subjects including social studies, math, reading, and French to students ranging from kindergarten to seniors in high school. Altho

I am a recent graduate from the University of New Hampshire with a major in Spanish. As a part of my degree, I completed a year-long study abroad program in Granada, Spain, where I not only learned a lot about the Spanish language, but also the culture. I have done some private tutoring in the past for both a high school student and a middle school student. I am looking for a new opportunity to tutor some more students to see if I'd like to teach professionally. I believe that everyone can learn a second language, but it takes a lot of practice and dedication. I used to teach the martial arts when I was in high school and have adapted many of the tools I acquired there into my academic theories of teaching, such as; a high degree of patience, the "praise-correct-praise" method, and to lead by example. Everyone learns in a different way; having said that, I believe it is essential to

I prefer working as a collaborative team with teaching staff/specialists. I believe most of my success comes from continued conversations and ongoing discussions about best practices during staff meetings and professional development workshops. I believe if we can integrate content with cross-curricular themes and skills such as writing across the curriculum in all subjects, not just during the language arts block, All students can access prior knowledge and reframe their thinking when appropriate. Once we establish accountability through state standards, we need to teach one child at a time, at their own level and pace and eliminate lessons that do not move students toward meeting the standards. I use flexible/small groups based on reading readiness levels and interests and change strategies as needed to meet students' needs. As a literacy-based educator, I have served 12-years as an e
