A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives. I have tutored children at several levels, with varying degrees of leaning capacities. I teach them techniques to learn, remember, apply the knowledge and take different types of tests/quizzes. I spend considerable amount of time in learning students’ educational background and preparing myself to teach such that tutoring does not feel a burden to a kid, and kids show more interest in learning and absorbing relative subject matters. I take pride and strive to make a significant contribution to building career of their choices to all of students I teach.

I am very patient and have a gift for breaking concepts and instructions down into smaller manageable steps. My technique is to lead the student to discover the answer rather than "telling" it to them. To help the learner understand and remember, I'll use examples in the form of stories, diagrams or demonstrations.
I have 15 years of experience as an educational program coordinator and have about 18 years of teaching experience with preschoolers, elementary students, teens, college students and adult learners. My expertise includes study habits, English/composition, note taking skills and psychology.

My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning is an experience that should be enjoyed and given praise, compassion, kindness, and consistency helps one learn and discover their academic success. I have made many differences in student's lives, as they have taught me learning experiences that I will never forget. I am expressive, funny, and love to teach.

I am a strong believer in Multiple Intelligences. I know that first I must learn who my students are and how they learn if I am to teach them successfully. I employ the Socratic method often possible, and keep lessons as student-centered as possible. I frequently make use of the students' interests and technology to engage them. Students thrive when they see the usefulness of what they are learning, and when techniques are adapted to their needs.
As a professional educator, I am dedicated to seeing all students succeed. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in History and a BA in English, as well as New York State certification and my MAT Social Studies. I have tutored throughout my academic career, and continue to teach and tutor in a wide variety of subjects.

Throughout the years, I have had many experiences in the field of education. I began my experience in the classroom as a student teacher at Syracuse University. My first assignment was a 12th grade classroom as a freshman in college. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding experience that taught me how to discipline and gain respect from my students. In the remaining years at Syracuse University, I was placed in several other student teaching classrooms from middle school to high school. I also tutored college students in Writing, English, and Spanish for 2 years. I graduated with a sense of accomplishment for what I had achieved and provided for my students. Professionally, I have worked as a high school english teacher, and as a curriculum developer in education publishing companies. This has also been rewarding because I have been given the freedom to help create what student ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a creative approach to learning that appeals to all styles of learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
Currently, I work for the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa school districts as a home instructor for grades 6 to 12. I enjoy working with the kids one on one and feel wonderful about helping them stay up to date with their school work until they are physically able to return to the regular classroom setting. Aside from home instruction, I also work regularly as a substitute for Saratoga County schools, and have built up a great working relationship with all faculty and students in each building that I am assig ... read more

I am permanently certified in Secondary English. I have been teaching since 2001. I have also tutored for eight years. My teaching experience covers English grades seven through twelve. I have taught general English classes, honors English classes, college prep courses, special education courses, English labs, English as a Second Language, SAT Prep, and GED level classes.
The stand that I firmly take as a teacher of English Language Arts is that preconceived notions of a student's ability are left outside the door to my classroom. Every student has a different personality, a different belief system, a different home life, and a different style he/she learns best in. However, every student can learn to write and communicate clearly, and to read and appreciate literature when provided with a rich learning environment, motivation, and explanation of the purpose/learning goals behin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I understand frustration at school because I experienced it myself. I believe a better grasp of communication (reading, writing, speaking skills) can change a student’s confidence about learning (and life) and improve scientific outcomes on class grades and standardized tests. Communication and literacy skills improve when students have concrete know-how (like grammatical structure or organization in writing) and opportunities to use these skills in a supportive (non-judgmental) atmosphere. This is the magical combination I strive to provide when teaching.
I began as a middle school English teacher in the Bronx a decade ago. For ten years I’ve taught English language and literacy skills in New York, Oakland and Ecuador. I speak Spanish and have a second master’s degree in journalism. I achieved humbling recognition as a writer and producer of print and radio journalism in Alabama a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combined way. So they might use other skills taught before such as note taking, highlighting, all in context. The purpose of the skills are stressed, students are taught not just what to do and how, but also why. The students then reflect on how well they used the skills, what gains they were getting and so on, and then they action plan for improvement.

I am proficient in the areas of British and American Literature and have designed innovative units based around such classics as The Scarlet Letter and Of Mice and Men. Making germane connections and scaffolding ideas, allows for deeper comprehension, interpretation, and analysis. This methodology, as well as my vast range in experience has allowed me to thoroughly prepare my students for the English Language Arts Exams, English Regents Exam, and PSAT/SAT. I have prepared students in terms of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and test taking skills.
