My very first year of teaching was at the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School, and I also taught for two years at Northern Lehigh High School. Currently, I am resigned and staying home, but looking to work part time. I have experience teaching grades 7-12 and working with all types of students. The classes I've taught range from Honors English to a class which targeted students struggling to gain proficiency in English related PSSA skills. Every student is unique and benefits from an individualized instruction. My style is business casual; I am firm yet warm and encouraging with students.

I am great with teaching anything within the literary field because I have gone through college and have learned how to analyze each concept to my greatest ability. Through obtaining my bachelors, we had to complete dozens of workshops until we had a perfect piece of writing and this helped a lot with my ability to teach others the typical way to write, analyze and read.

I am a patient, encouraging tutor who believes in students' inherent ability to learn. I excel at making complicated concepts accessible through questions aimed at helping learners draw their own conclusions. My thorough knowledge of sentence structure , style and grammar enables me to diagnose students' writing needs and tailor my instruction accordingly. While earning my M.S. In journalism at Columbia University, I honed my writing based on the editing of professors who had worked at such publications as The New York Times and The Washington Post. Frequent editing during more than a decade as a professional journalist has familiarized me with the type of feedback most useful to developing writers.. I hold B.A. in English with a concentration in writing, and a B.A. in education, which have prepared me to help students improve their compositions. I have tutored English lea

I teach using a phenomenological approach, one that is perhaps best illustrated by the psychiatrist, Carl R. Rogers. In other words, I believe every student can be reached through open conversation and discussion. This approach requires patience, the ability to read and understand students, and the skill of relating to students' temperaments, interests, and learning styles. While I often appear laid-back to the students I teach, I am constantly conscious of my openness to students and their needs in order to direct them towards a positive learning experience. My ten years of teaching experience consists of tutoring, subbing, and teaching full time at the middle and high school levels, tutoring and teaching English to adolescents and adults in Prague, CZ, and tutoring and teaching for SAT companies. I attained my teaching certification after completing my student teaching at a school

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on their writing. Through this individualized tutoring style, I developed an appreciation for working one-on-one with students and peers, and began to develop a highly personal, creative style of tutoring. Over the course of my teaching experience, I have found that students learn best when they are comfortable yet appropriately challenged. It is my goal to distinguish the learning style of each individual student that I work with and from there, develop a plan to meet their goals. I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard Coll

I truly enjoy teaching. It is life-long passion. I have spent my eleven teaching years working with 9-12 grade students, and I have loved every moment. I am patient and easy going. I do not mind trying to think of many different ways to explain a topic. In my classroom, I have created an environment where all my students feel safe and are not afraid to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process. I believe all children can be successful when they are given access to the tools they posess within themselves. My undergradute years at Kutztown University have truly prepared me to be an educator. I earned a BS in education with a specialization in English. This degree has given me a great "bag of educational tricks." In other words, I am well versed in different teaching strategies for all learning styles. I have taught all genres of literature, as well as, writing

After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Geneva College, I spent time developing my skills with working with children and young adults as a soccer coach. My first experience in the educational field was working as a paraprofessional at a private school for children with autism. I continued my work in education working as a caseworker with my primary focus being truancy and juvenile probation. I am currently in the process of enrolling for a Master's of Education degree which will enable me to teach history at a high school level. My educational skills are especially strong in the fields of history, government, and english. My background with history and english has led to skills in research writing and grammatical skills. After several years of coaching and working with children I have learned that my true life calling is to teach children and young adults. I am easy going and friendly and

I tend to employ a quiet but direct approach to learning. Q and A sessions begin each session. We review the homework and past experiences of the student. I encourage students to write down their concerns and mark the areas of confusion at the time these arise. That way the students don't forget to bring them to my attention. I like to break down large projects into smaller components. The success of the student is the primary goal. A feeling of accomplishment is a close second. I back step and reteach as necessary. Praise is given often. I enjoy the teaching experience and interaction with each student. My background experience includes classroom teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching,ESL,Title I,and GED training. My classroom experiences included Pre-K to College students. It also included training nursing staff. In Pennsylvania, I hold undergrad degrees which focus mainly on math, c

I like to implement a variety of different strategies in order to keep students interested in the material. These strategies include discussions, projects, writing assignments, etc. I also believe that enthusiasm, no matter what the subject, is the key to keeping students interested. If you are boring, they will be bored, so I try to keep my lessons and my classroom lively. I also like to implement differentiated instruction, because I believe what works for one student will not necessarily work for another. By using differentiated instruction, I can see my students excelling at the subject matter in ways they feel comfortable. I received my BSE with a specialization in English from Millersville University in December of 2009. Shortly after, I became an extended day substitute at Boyertown High School. During this time, I assumed the role of the teacher, taking on all of her responsibili

I received a B.S. Degree in Education with a teaching certificate in English-Communication, at the secondary level. I am also qualified to instruct younger children. My graduate work focused on elementary students.My experience with young children, was learning to identify reading disabilities, administering standardized reading tests, to assess the instructional and readiness levels of individual students. I have taught in a wide array of classroom settings and as a private tutor. I strive to encourage open discussions, and small group activities so students can move around the room, but only as it relates to the task at hand. I enjoy watching their enthusiasm when I give a "fun" learning activity. I am pleasant, very patient and lively!

For more than twenty years I have had experience in report writing, creative writing, speech writing, resumes, and projects. My expertise lies not only in the proficient use of the English language but in skills development. I can teach anyone of any age to discover, embellish, and resourcefully utilize even the most obscure of their talents and abilities. For twelve years I coordinated and mentored forensic (public speaking) teams that participated in league competitions. I can teach the art of public speaking and can develop “baby steps” required to inspire confidence in one’s ability to overcome shyness and “terror” when speaking to either a large or small group of people. . My teaching methods include brainstorming, thought organization, use of the thesaurus, and use of adverb and adjective clauses to overcome writer’s block. These are in part “taught” but also developed
