Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tariffville, CT

I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling. My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.

I believe that students learn best through active engagement. I encourage students to ask questions, make connections and explore new ideas. I have several years experience working with students in schools in Massachusetts, Washington D.C. and Connecticut. My experience has included assisting high school students with reading difficulties in a classroom setting, individual tutoring, and classroom teaching at the elementary level. I am currently pursuing my Masters in School Counseling from Saint Joseph College.

Over the years I have studied both the way in which I have strategized when taking tests and the way others have. These strategies will help you reach optimal competency in your testing approach. I have been immersed the field of interpreting since 2008. Having graduated out of Bloomsburg University in 2012, over the last two years I have been professionally interpreting in three states and in various fields. My work ranges from public school classes, college lectures, medical appointments, religious sermons, platform events and government assignments. Regularly, I attend different workshops and Deaf events around the community to keep up with my skills and to continue learning the ever changing language of ASL. Start with the basics. Assess what level the student is at and then work that into a more challenging structure to pertain to what the student would like to accomplish.

I began tutoring as an undergrad student working for the college's academic support office tutoring math and science courses. After graduating cum laude with a BA in Mathematics, BS in Meteorology, Physics minor, and Secondary Education certification, I went straight into teaching. For the next 8 years I was a jr high and high school math and science teacher. I taught Physics, earth Science, Physical Science, General Science, and math classes ranging from 7th grade basic math up through trigonometry. Last year I returned to school to earn a masters degree in Applied Statistics from Cornell University. During that year I tutored 4 Cornell students in Statistics, Calculus, and Finite Math, and 3 high school students in Earth Science, Algebra, and Geometry. It is my belief that most students that seek out the extra help of a tutor have a much greater capacity to learn than they realize

I enjoy teaching, educating and mentoring students to be all they can be and excel in their coursework. I also enjoy just working with students to encourage them and show them how learning can be fun! I am a very patient and caring person who also offer mentoring and career development to students in many subjects. I use creative teaching and learning by practicing methods to have students enjoy a subject or course material. I also teach students to be able to learn the material in a way that they can be comfortable to teach themselves. I challenge and practice over and over with my students until they learn the material. I am a certified tutor for the state of CT with over 10 years of tutoring experience from pre-K to college level in the subjects of math, science, engineering and reading.

Since young I have always had a passion for learning and my education, and throughout my college years my desire and love for teaching has grown greatly. As a firm believer in the significance of education, I have a strong motivation to be able to help every student I teach grow as a student. To accomplish this I do everything I can to find what works most effectively for each student. My approach to teaching is one in which I believe every student has their own learning style(s), which I first try to identify and then adjust my teaching strategy to meet the individual needs of every student. I always let my students know that I believe in he or she and I constantly encourage as well as rejoice every little struggle he or she overcomes. As a Trinity College graduate, I had the chance to experience a liberal arts education which gave me the opportunity to learn about and excel in a broad

I would want each student in my classroom to feel wanted and feel a sense of their identity present even when they leave the classroom. Each student should be given attention. To understand what they feel and how they react to the material being presented to them is very important to me. I would encourage students to learn and let their views be heard. Classroom discussions and debates can be great tools when you want students to become active and to voice out opinions. I would want the classroom to be a medium through which I can motivate students to question one another and help each other to pull through to gain “knowledge”. As an intern at the University of Bridgeport, I have learned a lot from teaching in the New Britain and Rocky Hill Public Schools. I have earned my Master's Degree in Education and plan on completing my certification in Secondary Biology. I have learned how to inc

As the "Summary of Experience" paragraph describes, I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I suppose my first love is working with young learners: seeing the "aha!" spark that shines when a child first absorbs a concept or masters a skill that is new, or one which has previously proved difficult. My teaching style could be described as "eclectic", in that I draw from the many resources available to find a "learning approach" that best matches the student's style and needs. My primary activities during my professional career have been teaching and counseling. My experience covers clients across the lifespan: from infants in early care and education through grand- parents in post-secondary education and college courses. I have taught and tutored the basics: reading, writing, composition, comprehension, fluency, basic mathmatical functions, etc. I have also taught major required and elec

The key to good teaching is determining the skills of each student, individualizing an instructional program to improve on those skills, and monitoring progress to improve the student's knowledge base. I am a retired Connecticut public school educator with over 30 years of experience. I taught both English and mathematics, grades 7 through 12, for the first fourteen years of my career. I was an administrator for the remainder of my career, serving at the high school level, middle schoollevel, elementary level, and central office level. My last four years were as a system-wide language arts and reading curriculum supervisor in which I worked with students, parents, teachers and other administrators.

In addition, I have completed Special Needs for Special Student class at University of Connecticut. I love teaching and working with kids. Each child learns at his/her own rate and in different ways. I am always there to help them to find alternative sources to achieve their goals. I believe anyone can achieve something in life.

I have taught music and guitar since I was 20 years old. I continued to teach guitar throughout college where I double majored in Political Science and Theology and minored in philosophy. My grammatical skills are excellent as I currently write for two different publications on the internet. I have been tutoring for the past year in Math and Reading in all levels from 6th grade math to SAT math. I also tutor GRE math. Math and reading are certainly my strong points now as I have been working in these subjects for this past year. I am looking to expand my students though and your institution caught my eye. I have taught with students from the age of 6 to the age of 29 in all subjects from math and reading, to philosophy and history. I am relaxed and zealous when teaching students. I have a known record at teaching my guitar students all the basic chords within 3 lessons. I also ha

Math can be fun, especially when applied to exciting applications. For my work at NASA and the MITRE Corporation I use concepts from Calculus I-II almost everyday. Inspiring students to become excited about math and science is one of my life-long goals. Step by step visual diagrams can be effective tools for describing complex ideas. From my experience as a teacher and student I have had great success creating simple graphics to accompany otherwise dense math equations for circuits, data structures and statistics. This teaching style coupled with a fresh knowledge of math material as a graduating senior make me confident that I can be an asset to your team this summer. I will be returning to my home in Connecticut May 18th and would welcome the opportunity to and discuss starting work at Advanced Learners!
