My teaching style is more student centered. I believe that involving the students with hands on activities allows them to grasp and understand certain topics easier. Especially in a science classroom where we are studying intangible topics, like the core of the earth, or the stars, or the atmosphere, students may have difficulties understanding these ideas from a strictly lecture based approach to educating. Also I understand that schools are becoming more and more diverse regarding the student body population. This fact means that it is important for me to use multiple types of assessment and teaching methods in the classroom.
I received my undergraduate degree from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania in Earth & Space Science. I then went on to get my masters degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Bloomsburg University also. I am currently waiting to receive my Pennsylvania Sta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Psychology with a similar GPA. Since graduating I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a counseling capacity which often mirrors mentoring, teaching and leading. I obviously have experience in psychology and religion. As well, I have extensive experience in writing for my career, assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, etc, and in school with the many research papers, summaries, reviews, etc. This has allowed me to hone my grammatical skills, comprehension and analytical skills.
My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I ... read more

My studies have given me practical experience working with children of different abilities and readiness. I sincerely believe it is the teacher's responsibility to adapt lessons to the student's learning style. I strive to create connections to student past lessons and keep difficult concepts in easy, relative terms that simplify information for the student to digest. I prefer teaching lessons through discovery learning and constructivist approaches, and will ask as many questions to my students as my students will to me. Personally, I am considerate, professional, and genuinely caring to each of my student's success. I have never given up on a student's abilities to learn, and I convey an attitude of perseverance to my students.
As a Penn State graduate, I earned a B.S. in Earth Sciences with a minor in Chemistry, assisting a paleoclimatology laboratory on campus for three year ... read more

I believe that everyone is teachable, if the student has the desire and the teacher has the commitment. I tend to be a patient teacher, with high standards. I actively question the student, which allows me to challenge the student in my presence, where I am able to guide him/her. While I have predominantly tutored college students, I have also taught adults and children. My sister-in-law is probably my biggest supporter, since she has watched me teach my nephews (now 9 and 10) an array of subjects over the years. I believe encouragement is an extremely useful tool, which when used properly can make a remarkable difference.
As a Business Administration major, I have had extensive schooling in all realms of business, accounting, and finance. In my earlier years, I had extensive exposure to math of all levels, as well. Additionally, I am very strong in English, even having edite ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy meeting new students who have trouble learning math and seeing themselves light up after a session or two of tutoring. I believe in the discovery method of learning and questioning to have the student aware of where he/she is having difficulty with math. Then we work from there and the needs of the student so the student can succeed. With the help of strategies all students can succeed in math and I strive to help each one do the best of his/her ability. I believe I do make a difference in the lives of the students I tutor.
I have just retired from teaching math at the middle school level and an adjunct math instructor at the college level for 35 years. I have tutored the past 5 years of my career privately and with students with disabilities at Centenary College, Hackettstown, NJ.

As an undergraduate at Penn State, I became interested in education through positive experiences with my own teachers. At this time, I was an active high school volleyball coach, an environmental science teaching assistant, and an environmental science camp counselor. Earning a BS in Biology grounded my content knowledge in both Biology and Science and propelled my education in writing, lab experience, field experience, and technology. Furthermore, I enrolled at King's College to solidify my knowledge of teaching and education and received PA Certification in Secondary Biology.
I have found teaching to be the most fulfilling and challenging experience of my life thus far. Each classroom environment and student is dynamic and different. My experience working with students from ages 10-25 has showed me the various ways that students learn and has challenged me to become an effec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my passion to teach children. I believe every child can learn, but it is up to the teacher to discover each individual's learning style. The teacher needs to create the appropriate atmosphere and experiences for each student. I focus on the individual in my classroom. I want students to feel like they have freedom where they can ask their own questions, conduct their own inquiries, and draw their own conclusions. It is the teacher's job to guide the students and have the students problem solve to make their own discoveries.

I started my undergraduate studies in medical technology and biology and later changed my major and graduated with a BS in business management. I further my education and have completed half of the requirements toward an MBA in pharmaceutical chemical studies. During the last 17 years I have been involved in pharmaceutical sales and sales management. In these roles I have had to mentor and teach representatives daily. I have also had to teach medical professionals technical information. I understand the requirements involved in successful tutoring as I tutored during the summer while completing my undergraduate degree.
Having been in the sales field for over 17 years I understand that everyone learns differently. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor I believe you must first understand how someone processes information. After understanding that you can then move onto to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Children love to learn and feel a sense of accomplishment and self-worth when they are successful. I greatly enjoy helping children learn. Each child has the capacity to learn and it is the teachers job to present the material in a manner which is conductive to the child’s understanding. Providing tools to help each student comprehend the material is essential. Many students are helped with additional reading strategies, or using a math manipulative to make an abstract concept understandable, or a graphic organizer to help understand new content material. The key is to provide additional methods or strategies so each student is successful. I have a passion to see each child succeed and reach their goals.
I have a Bachelor of Arts from Susquehanna University and an Elementary Teaching Certificate from Bucknell University. Most recently I was an educational liaison in an altern ... read more
