I truly enjoy teaching and watching a student’s growth both academically and personally with my assistance. I can not say that I have only one teaching style. The art of teaching is finding out what is the best way for my students to learn. Each and every student has a different way of learning; may it be lecture, demonstration, or question and answer. The great thing about teaching is that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way of expressing the material. Many times you have to use multiple methods of teaching to help the students gain a more thorough understanding. Having some professional experience in the Chemistry field is a great tool for both gaining the student’s attention and relating what is done in the classroom to real life scenarios. I gain great satisfaction from helping students obtain the goals they have set. I graduated from King's College in Pennsylvania in May of 2002 wit

Teaching is my passion. I have worked with students from 11 to 70 years old. No two people learn in the same way, and no two people can be taught in the same way. I customize each session to fit the needs of the tutee. I am patient, friendly, easy to understand, and can help relate the subject to real life. My experience allows me to quickly see which aspects of the subject are difficult, how it can be made clearer, and the best way for each student to learn. I strive to ensure that each student I tutor leaves the session; having learned the material, having achieved their full potential, and feeling confident in the subject. I not only help each student learn, but help each student become stronger in their ability to work alone. As a teacher and tutor to Housatonic Community College students for the past four years, I have helped a variety of students in the areas of Math and Science.

I believe in encouraging all individuals to read, write and learn in a positive way that best fits his or her specific learning needs. The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.

Personally, I am a firm believer in the constructivist, or active learning theory. I view myself as a facilitator, presenting opportunities for students to bridge material to their own lives through personal experiences and interactions. By supporting this theory, I place the responsibility on the student as the one who must take initiative in his or her own learning, as each child brings an entirely unique perspective and experience to the classroom. By acknowledging students’ diverse backgrounds as context through which students navigate in order to construct meaning, I allow for multiple viewpoints and interpretations of content. Constructivist theory also promotes active dialogue and peer collaboration as students internalize outside ideas, whether they be newly represented in a text or by an alternate perspective of a fellow classmate. Content, no matter the subject area, must beco

As a teacher, I am well aware of the many different ways that children learn. As I said previously, I have been art of both the middle and high school environment, and have worked with students of many different levels. Some children excel when given more time, focus, or a new take on their academics. I truly believe that tutoring is an excellent supplement to any child's education because I know from experience that every student truly wants to learn, just in their own way. It is my goal as teacher and tutor to instill not only a better understanding of the subject matter in my students, but a love of learning and a sense of capability. My MAT is almost complete, and focuses on Secondary English Education. During the past two years, I have been working as an intern and teacher on both the middle and high school levels.
