I am a very organized, detail oriented individual. I work well as a group or individually one on one. I have always loved working with children and looking to help them succeed. I am a driven individual who likes to succeed myself in life as well as helping others succeed. I am a patient person, easy to talk to and relate to. I listen before speaking and hear what the individual has to say. I am a firm believer in open lines of communication not only with the student but with parents as well. I try to make the learning fun so children look forward to wanting to do the work rather than putting it off.
With my major throughout College all areas of Business were reviewed, Marketing, Management, Accounting & Finance and then one was chosen as your concentration to primarily focus on. I chose Finance with a minor in Information Systems. I have done accounting and payroll for ab ... read more

I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-12 since 2001 and worked as a tutor for Siena's Higher Education Opportunity Program.

My passions for knowledge and the sense of fulfillment I get from learning along with the desire I have for sharing that passion are the foundation of my educational philosophy. I have little doubt that students today want to learn, want to discover, and want to understand and contribute to the world in which they live. I recognize that my passion for knowledge and learning alone, while necessary, is not sufficient to make me an effective teacher. It also requires establishing a rapport with my students based upon mutual respect and grounded in empathy. It requires a classroom environment that is free from stress and fear of expression, where students are actively engaged in their own learning.

My love for teaching has been constant throughout my life. I tutored fellow students during high school. I have taught business education courses at the high school and college level. I am a strong believer that no question is ever stupid and that everyone can learn. The more questions asked, the better the chance at understanding the concept. I also feel that positive reimforcement can be key for many students. As long as the student is trying, success cannot be too far away.

No one teaching style works with all students, or even a majority of them. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make academic subjects interesting and relevant to different students. I usually use a combination of guided discovery, question-and-answer, and hands-on approaches to teaching and learning.
My broad-based educational background gives me a firm foundation for interacting with students on a variety of levels. I have taught both French and Mathematics at the college level, have tutored Math, Physics and Chemistry at the college level, and have substituted in high schools and junior highs as well. As a research mathematician with GE, I have explained mathematical concepts to adults with a wide range of backgrounds.

My teaching experience includes a wide variety of situations. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with children in grades kindergarten, one, two, three and four in a number of educational models, including multi-age groupings, departmentalized models and the traditional classroom. In addition to my work with younger students, I have tutored high school and college students, as well as adult learners in the areas of language and writing.
My approach to teaching relies heavily on the use of modeling. Modeling is a powerful tool in the development of not only writing and language skills, but also in exposing my students to a framework which will allow them to hone their own thought processes and work habits. Incorporating a wide variety of vocabulary-building activities into daily lessons strengthens my students' understanding of the subject area and provides ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

There is nothing I love more than working with children. I am continually fascinated by how children learn and how they help me to grow as an educator. I consider myself to be very patient and caring. I know that learning is a process and just like any other process, it takes time with the right techniques and practice. I also consider myself to be very diverse with my learning styles. Personally, I learn best by utilizing different approaches to information; listening to information, visually seeing information, manipulating objects. Therefore, I enjoy teaching to fit the individual's needs of grasping the information. Teaching, like learning is multifaceted.
I have been given a solid education at the undergraduate level at The College of Saint Rose where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education. I have my NYS Initial Teaching Certification in both Early Chi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress. My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world.
I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and a ... read more

At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing environment for all of my students in which they can grow and learn.

My style of teaching depends on the needs of the student, their skill level, potential and suggestions of the parents. If the student has no general learning difficulties and exhibits potential in other subjects, then I begin by creating a baseline and comfort level with the subject matter. I seek to set up small, achievable goals to illustrate that progress will come with time and effort. My focus is always on realistic progress based on established time constraints and includes some challenge to reach beyond expectations.
I have 40 years professional experience in Accounting, Budget, Auditing, Project Management and General Management. As an Audit Manager, I dealt with all levels of management at a Fortune 500 company. I taught elementary school children real world applications of mathematics as a volunteer in a business and community partnership program. I am comfortable wor ... read more
