More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for helping students reach their acasemic goals. I am a very patient, caring and easy going. I beleive that the more patient you are with students, the better they will understand and not feel pressured and discouraged. I have discovered through my experiences that students learn better through experience and on a one-on-one basis.
While attending The Richard Stockton College of NJ, I was an active member of the Accounting and Finance Society where I utilized my technological and analytical aptitude to create financial statements and perform cash and capital budgets. Then, in the summer of 2009, I was hired as a project management intern at NFL Films’ selective internship program where I further extended my executive and analytical qualities. I was able to get a realistic experience financially managing a broadcast sports corporation. Furthermore, I was an academic ... read more

I would say that my teaching style is very interactive. Anyone can give instructions but I love feedback from a one on one situation as well as a group environment. I base alot of my instruction on analogies; when a person can relate an experience or another word to a term being tought, their understanding is broadened and 99% of the time embedded in the longterm memory. That to me is not only developing the ability to draw on a built up knowledge base, but also broadens ones ability to convey what has been learned.
I have always wanted to teach. When I was a child I would round up the kids in my neighborhood and make them do lessons that I created. I do remember they did not like that. I went to college and earned a BS in Biology always knowing that I would eventually teach the sciences. I was an excellent student and have always found pride in myself on my ability to communi ... read more

As a re-founding member and President of the Syracuse University chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles (www.pershingriflessociety.org) I was responsible for the planning and instruction of between 12 and 20 students in the areas of Leadership, Project Management, Exhibition Drill and Wilderness Survival. Throughout my engineering curriculum I was very often tasked with assisted in the instruction of others in small group sessions as well as larger group project settings. I also received tutoring which provides a unique perspective on how adaptability is important.
In my experience with teaching, I find that the best way to connect and convey the information is to provide aural, visual and experiential exposure to the material. Everyone does not learn at the same pace or through the same exposure to material. It is also important to be perceptive to the possibility of s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having grown up in a family where education was highly valued. not only did I desire to attain my own college degree, but I was strongly devoted to the idea of helping educate others. My B.A. is in English with a concentration in secondary education. Initially, I chose to teach in Catholic elementary schools which included teaching and learning techniques to teach children from grades 1 to 8. Eventually, I joined the public school legion and taught high school English for nine years. I also taught the Composition and Research Writing Class at James H. Groves High School. Currently, completing my job with Club Z, a tutoring agency targeting No Child Left Behind students as identified by the school district.
Over the past twenty years of classroom teaching, I have discovered that many children have different styles of learning. I have taken a few classes on Differential Instruction, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year makes in their development. Previously, I worked as a copywriter and I spent a lot of years writing and editing. I really enjoy the one-on-one or small group approach to teaching, which is why tutoring is so appealing to me.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "th ... read more

Through the course load of my college career my studies also incorporated normal life span development, personality development, abnormal development, prevention, group behavior, cultural variations, and ethical and professional issues. I have developed specific knowledge and skills that incorporate broad application to many working environments. Overall, the classroom courses provided me a blend of theory and application. I had the opportunity to explore internship opportunities throughout the community in a wide variety of settings to provide experiences in applying knowledge and skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I have always wanted to be a teacher, but life happened and I was married living half way around the world in another country constantly moving. I beleive all children can learn it just may take someone to give them a little help and direction.
I earned my Masters Degree in Business Management/Business Administration later in life. I always felt that it was very important to try to improve one self and to help those who are in need of help. I think is very important to strive to ensure that every child has the chance to be the best that they can be and have the best education they deserve.

I believe that all children learn differently, so an effective teacher must adapt the message to reach all students In a class. In my classroom I teach using lessons that incorporate VATK (visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic)methods to teach the way my diverse students learn. For reading and mathematics test preparation, the methods used at my school have 100% of our students scoring proficient or above grade level on PSSA tests. Lessons should be organized, interesting, and should include a clear goal, and plan for achieving the goal. I also believe that students can achieve more when parents and teachers communicate regularly and when informed learned is reinforced at home on a regular basis.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught both regular and special education, early childhood, speech/language correction, and elementary Spanish, before moving into supervisor, principal and, finally, superintendent positions in public schools in southern NJ. As an administrator, I have mentored teachers, given workshops, and focused on the best professional development possible. Early reading, writing, and math skills are my passion, although I have taught students from 4-18 years of age.
I love working with children and have continued to find ways to instruct even during my time as an adminstrator. I am fully trained and certified in Orton-Gillingham techniques to help children and adults with dyslexia. I enjoy helping my students discover connections as they learn, and use engaging, hands-on techniques to keep lessons interesting. I incorporate fun (including origami) whenever possible, especially imp ... read more
