A Little Bit About Me...

I am a retired school teacher that misses teaching children.I taught in a NJ public School for over 30 years. I actually taught in the same school district I attended as a child. My expertise is in 5th & 6th grades, but am available for grades 2-8. I have some science background and taught technology also.
I loved teaching! I think I retired too early because I miss the every day challenges and excitement teaching gives! I have been trained in 4Mat and Gardners Multiple Intelligences. I firmly believe "every child can learn" as long as you teach to their learning style. My daughter is following in my foot steps and will start her first teaching job in September. I truly believe if we show a child we care they can learn anything!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a great passion when it comes to working with children and helping them to overcome any educational hurdles and achieve academic success. Through my experience I've learned that when it comes to having a teaching style every child is different, but can be reached through time, dedication and understanding. I've learned that hands on learning is very effective and being able to relate a topic into something the child likes or understands is also an adequate way to help in the process of comprehension. I strive to help my students achieve self confidence in their work and to reach their goals.
In 2006 I was at my final step of reaching my BA in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English with only having left to complete my student teaching, but was taken by another opportunity. I moved to Japan and teach ESL and ESOL for almost 3 complete years. I taught from all ages tw ... read more

As someone who felt in my youth that if I could only pay attention I could learn anything has taught me how to break down the barriers to focus and how it can shape a students success in any discipline. Focusing on my learning style has taught me how to demonstrate complex ideas in ways that are easy to absorb. I tend to find different ways to relate material to students in ways that are fun. I used a dollars and cents approach to teach young students the importance of decimals, fractions, and basic arithmetic as how it affected their own bottom line: their allowance, milk money and so on. I also have found that not speaking from a position of authority but rather as a fellow learner have exacted better results.
As a graduate of the University of Michigan with a bachelors in History I feel that I have more than adequate educational experience to tutor students of not only History b ... read more

I have a Minnesota teaching license in PreK age 3-K, Elementary Education K-6, and Middle School Math 5-8. I have returned to college twice to add additional licenses to continue my education. I have been a licensed teacher since 2004 with a wide variety of experience including a classroom teacher, preschool teacher, after school teacher working with small groups of elementary children struggling in math and reading, teaching summer school to middle school students struggling in math, and one-on-one tutoring to elementary age children to get them caught up or back on track.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade. I think it is so important for children to be successful in school so they enjoy their experience and want to go to school. I believe that all children learn in different ways and I will work with you and and your child to help discover how they learn ... read more

I am patient and encouraging. I have a talent for identifying how people learn. It is important to know what works with people in order to dail into the proper approach. Some people can read and immediately understand. Others need the repetition of hands-on experience. Some need memory tricks like "Mickey Mouse" for spelling "accoMModate" or "seize the weird sheik at your Leisure" for remembering exceptions to the "i-before-e" rule. On writing, I have had reporters mired in a fact-filled story actually write single sentences, each containing one fact. Then, I've had them order the facts. I am patient in helping people organize thoughts. I help people collect and organize information and to present it

Having spent many years in a classroom, working with groups of children, as well as individuals, I realize that teaching begins with a good relationship with your students. I take an interest in my students in a very caring way, and I reap the rewards of their trust. I like to get to know a little background on each student so as to make the material more relevant. I employ positive psychology in my teaching, as I desire not only competent students, but happy ones.
As an educator and parent, I love working with children, and have been involved with their welfare and education for many years. Raising my three children, who are all M.D.'s, and working with all children, I feel I have found my life's work. Currently, I am a substitute teacher at Montrose Jr. Sr. High School. In the summer I teach elementary school students at Kopernik Space and Science Center in Vestal, New York. ... read more

As an adjunct English professor, I have taught basic college composition and various literature courses for a decade. I have worked closely with students to help them improve their writing on the collge and high school levels. I have extensive composition, grammatical, crtical reading and writing skills from my own work as a graduate student and published author, and have a decade's worth of experience sharing that knowledge with students. Advisors at SUNY tell me my classes fill quickly because I have a reputation as a kind, helpful, and patient teacher who loves what she does and sincerely wants to help students.
I believe students should be treated with respect - just like real people! I believe all students can succeed when given a solid foundation of information and guidance and encouragement. I feel the most damaging thing a teacher can do to a student is to make them feel i ... read more

During this past school year I was a practicum student in a second and third grade self contained 15-1 classroom. This placement gave me the opportunity to teach math, science, and reading to students with learning disabilities and various instructional needs. During student teaching I taught in a fifth grade regular education classroom as well as in a learning workshop. My experience in the fifth grade helped me to hone my teaching style as well as explore behavior management techniques. The learning workshop allowed me to conduct a variety of push-in and pull-out programs with third, fourth, and fifth graders as well as providing 1-0n-1 reading support for a non-verbal student with cerebral palsy.
I have a passion for teaching children at various educational levels. I believe that it is important for teachers to create a positive learning environment. That is why I strive t ... read more

I have tutored grades k-4 in Math, reading and english for the past six years in an after school program. I have studied child development to help me relate to elementary students. My experience in writing for a newspaer has improved grammatical skills.This endeavor has given me an eye for correctness and detail to insist on with my students.
My educational background in psychology and early childhood education has given me the insight to allow student to figure out things themselves with a little prompting. My most successful tutoring has been in explaining things the way a student might relate to his own experience. Allowing time for listening gives me clues to what that experience might be.

I believe that one key to successfully helping children of all ages to learn, is a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Since every child learns differently, I always adapt my style of teaching a particular subject to best fit the needs of each individual. I have found that incorporating every day examples and scenarios into the concepts that a student is learning, can help them better understand the subject matter, and the application of these concepts. As an educator, I am flexible and rely on numerous resources to help demonstrate topics. I have a very approachable and patient demeanor, and a sincere passion for assisting each student I work with to understand what they are studying and allowing them realize what they are capable of.

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing, and grammar. I followed my passion and earned both my BA at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania where I was encouraged to continue my education to the Master’s level. At SUNY, I decided that teaching was the only career path with which I would be happy. Over the past six years (during both my BA and MA), I have been in the positions of discussion leader (leading to a better understanding of the literature students were reading), Writing Center tutor, and First-Year Composition instructor.
Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way stree ... read more
