I then develop interesting lessons that meet each child's specific needs. It is important that the children are actively involved in their own learning process. I like to make lessons hands on and thought provoking.

The following is my personal philosophy of education: I believe that all children have the to ability to learn. A student's curriculum should be integrated with multiple-intelligences in mind. It is crucial for students to be able to make personal connections in their learning. Good teaching means engaging students in meaningul dialogue, text and their lives. Literacy should be encouraged and demeonstrated as a life long process. A successful learning environment must be safe, caring and respectful. As a non-traditional, graduate of Nazareth of Rochester, it has become very clear why an excellent education is clearly the only way to achieve autonomy, which I believe is crucial to all. I earned my dual-certification and Bachelor's Degree in Regular Education and Special Education. Because my own son had learning disabilities, I earned my Master's in Reading.

As a Financial Analyst at Fortune 500 equivalent company in the Republic of Zambia, I not only combined my mathematics expertise with strategy principles to execute my functions, but also I secured a part-time job as a mathematics tutor at a near-by university. I excelled at tutoring students in calculus, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and algebra – the subjects that I understand so well as a result of my majors in Engineering Economics and Mathematics in college. During the two years I tutored, students in my classes had the highest overall passing grades in mathematics, and most of them reported mathematics as the one class they liked the most and found to be the easiest in the exams. Most recently, as an MBA student at the Simon Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Rochester, I occasionally coached first-year MBA students in Statistics, Mathematics and Fina

I have a passion for teaching and working with children and I enjoy it very much. I enjoy teaching all children. I believe that all children learn in different ways and at different passes. Its up to the educators to find each child's different learning style and have the confidence in them that they may lack. All children deserve to have the same opportunity and I'm willing to find those different styles to help your children learn. I am very patient, caring and understanding to the needs of each child. I strive to make a difference in all the children I teach. I graduated from Utica College with my BS in Developmental Child Psychology. I have a strong passion for teaching.

I have a tendency to push myself, I was persuing a double major in college in Math and Musical Theater but made a last minute decision to focus on my math career. I then pushed myself to achieve a master's degree in Secondary Education in only a year. I began tutoring in college when I decided that I wanted to go into teaching. I gained experiences tutoring Statistics, all levels of Calculus and college Algebra. I was never at the top of my class but I was above average so I feel I understand both the students who come to understand topics well as well as those who need a little help. I believe that students learn best when they can put meaning behind what they learn. I do my best to answer the question, "When am I ever going to use this?" I have found that my best teaching moments have been out of the formal classroom, when I am working in a one-on-one setting with my student. I

Assisting a child gain confidence in their reading level is rewarding for both tutor and pupil. I love to see a child as they grow through the process. My commitment is to provide the child a patient, comfortable and supportive educational experience in helping them reach academic success. The culmination of four years of study to earn a Bachelor of Arts in liberal Arts, and three years for my Master of Arts in Theology was the completion of a fifty-two page thesis. The process of writing so many papers along the way with great success was possible because of extensive reading skills, and after reading volumes and volumes of text. My tutoring background encompasses helping elementary students in the areas of reading and math. In my current teaching position, I provide a lot of one-on one reading support with students, as reading must be mastered in order to complete the assignments.

I am a hands-on learner and believe that the best way to teach is to have the students participate. Students should be comfortable in their learning environment, and as a teacher, it is important to adapt your teaching methods to fit the students strengths. I believe that passion drives the learning process; when a student is interested in the subject at hand, they are much more likely to gain the most from the experience.

i love teaching as I feel at ease and comfortable in front of a classroom. I allow students to learn for themselves while I guide them rather than teach or talk at them for an entire class period. I believe it is more important for students to understand how to answer a question rather than just knowing what the correct answer is. I use technology in the classroom but also I try various techniques for the different kinds of learners including visuals, auditory techniques, and kinesthetic activities. My goal is to not teach students everything in a text book but to not only have them learn and mature, but also know how to find the right answer to any question they have, and answer the question correctly and completely.
