I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you! I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.

As a college student I was taught various pedagogical methods. Then being a professional teacher and tutor I developed my own personal style. My main believe as an educator is that every child needs individual approach. Patience, tolerance, and dedication are integral parts of productive teaching. I try to understand the child’s inner world; it helps to unfold the student’s potential more fully. Depending on the age and background of the student I combine instructions, repetitions, special assignments, and making learning fun in different proportions. I give you and your child my best practice and knowledge; it leads to achieving excellent academic results. My goal is to cultivate a conscientious student and successful person.

Working with kids is something I truly enjoy. There is nothing that brings a joy to me more than a child that smiles after figuring out a solution. All children can succeed, they just need to be taught in a certain way. My objective is to remain patient with these students and to find the best way to teach them. I don't want these students to simply receive good grades and forget the material. I want them to truly grasp the concepts, embark the ideas and hopefully find a passion for this subject as I have. I am a graduate of Worcester State College. I hold a degree in both Sociology and Mathematics. I have taught math for middle school students from various backgrounds. As a result of this, not only do I know my material I am also prepared to work well with any individual or scenario. I feel that math can not simply be taught by numbers or words. Sometimes you need to go the extra mile a

I also believe that by applying appropriate teaching styles, the most difficult subject can be very easy to the students. I believe in getting students involved in their studies by making it fun. A child needs to study but must have fun whilst studying. My objective is to provide good educational approach to ensure that my students are the bes

I have been working in a corporate environment for over 20 years, giving presentations, writing reports, and corresponding with all levels of management with success. I am proficient with all Microsoft Office applications. I have tutored and assisted my own step-sons in their High School projects over the last three years, and their grades were always exemplary. I believe that being a coach, and mentor is the best way to teach children. I think that "hands on" training, or "on the job" training is the best way to learn. This is mostly true throughout our entire lives. Providing guidance, and answering questions rather than doing the work for them.

I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passion but the research and analytical skills I have learned help me present information in a way that is easy to understand and comprehend. As an Aquatic Education instructor I embraced those that were concerned about our environment and encouraged ideas to resolve issues. Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the improvm
