I have extensive knowledge in many areas as well as hands on training. I just became a partner for a local accounting firm.

I am a pursuer of hard work and performance. I have a double major and a singular bachelor degrees and a master's in literacy as language is very important to me. I have taught and worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system for the last 25 years. I also play the piano, keyboard and organ. I have accompanied students privately on in groups as well. In my language education jobs, I have also taught culture of the English, French and Spanish language groups(in English).
I enjoy teaching and believe that all students can learn. There are many ways to interest them; and with technology, all students will research and work with language and culture. I have had great success with students on a one-to-one basis. In language learning, some students have needed out-of-class time to work privately with me. I have also advised students and interested them in doing pr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that in order to succeed in teaching and being an educator you must inspire those that you are teaching. A child who is excited to learn, will do much better. I feel a hands on approach is best, guiding the child to personal success.
As a Siena College graduate I developed a very hands on approach to active learning. Through classroom lecture and instruction I've completed the necessary coursework to complete my BS of biology. Due to my strong work ethic I've gained knowledge and skills in the physical sciences, as well as in other subject areas. During my college years I subbed as teacher at a public K-12 school. During that time I taught a variety of grade levels, and worked as a one-on-one aide.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have returned to college as an adult learner for a Political Science Degree. As a returning student, my experience has been much more satisfying than that of a younger learner. What I have also found in attending classes is, I am able to contribute in a very practical way to college courses because I have been in the field working for many years. I have found my writing skills have increased over time, and having practical work experience has added a great deal to what I have to offer.
I am not a teacher, but a substitute teacher at a local school district. My work with the children, grades K-12 and special education has been very rewarding. Those children who are discouraged or are having a hard time, find solace working with me because I am able to instill confidence in their ability to succeed and watch them grow. Although my experience teaching is limited, I am very fond o ... read more

I have worked with Middle School age youth for almost a decade. I am Site Coordinator at an after school program & run a science focused club there. I also occasionally help the students who have been removed from our Homework Room with a number of subjects. I enjoy imparting my knowledge to my students via a variety of hands on learning activities and have always been a keen math, science and language arts student myself. Throughout school, I also played every woodwind instrument except the Oboe. While in college, I took every Agricultural Education class offered, as it is my intended area of post graduate study, and gained a grasp of educational psychology, classroom management and lesson planning.
I am a strong believer in mastering a topic as opposed to spitting out the correct response. I also believe in finding one’s main learning style and teaching to it, not that of the mas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for teaching children at various educational levels. I believe that it is important for teachers to create a positive learning environment. That is why I strive to make sure that students feel comfortable sharing their opinions, and experiences, as well as asking questions in my classroom. Students learn best when they are engaged, which is why I try to make sure that my students are actively participating in their learning. Teacher-teacher and teacher-parent collaboration are also crucial to students' success. My patience and ability to empathize with students foster student growth.
During this past school year I was a practicum student in a second and third grade self contained 15-1 classroom. This placement gave me the opportunity to teach math, science, and reading to students with learning disabilities and various instructional needs. During student tea ... read more

I believe that one key to successfully helping children of all ages to learn, is a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Since every child learns differently, I always adapt my style of teaching a particular subject to best fit the needs of each individual. I have found that incorporating every day examples and scenarios into the concepts that a student is learning, can help them better understand the subject matter, and the application of these concepts. As an educator, I am flexible and rely on numerous resources to help demonstrate topics. I have a very approachable and patient demeanor, and a sincere passion for assisting each student I work with to understand what they are studying and allowing them realize what they are capable of.

I enjoy helping students of all ages learn. Education lays the groundwork for every goal that one aspires to in life. I love the English language and words. I feel that it is important for every student to come away with at least a basic understanding of how to write and speak. It will only help later in life. I love science because I have always asked 'how things work'. I am patient and enthusiastic. My energy and love of knowledge is contagious. I do not have a specific way of teaching, I adapt methods based on how the students learn best. I see potential in everyone. I have yet to meet a person that excelled at nothing. I want to make an imprint on my students that they will carry with them their entire lives.

After completing my Master of Science degree in Literacy Education, I went on to work as a Reading Specialist in New York City. I gained extensive experience in working with children with a wide variety of reading difficulties. I was able to structure sessions to meet the individual needs of my students. I went on to teach English Language Arts to fifth and sixth grade students where I incorporated authentic literature and read-alouds into my curriculum. This captured the attention of my students and helped them learn to love literature. After all, this is the first step to improving reading skills.
As an elementary teacher specializing in Literacy Education, I feel that reading and writing are the keys to a student's success in all content areas.

My love for teaching and working with children has allowed me to learn a variety of ways to help my students learn. Through the use of audio, visual and tactile manipulatives, my students have had some very exciting experiences and have succeeded in meeting the objectives set for them. I do believe in setting high expectations for each child and my experience has shown me that they rise to the occasion. My decision to become a pedagogue was due to the fact that I had wonderful teachers in my life who were supportive, kind and thoughtful. They inspired me to want to learn more and want to give more. I strive to make a difference in the life of my students also.
