I am a recent graduate of West Chester University with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Currently I am a part time substitute for Central Bucks School District, and hope to be a tutor in my spare time. My tutoring experience includes tutoring a girl who primarily spoke Spanish but was fluent in English and teaching her to read and write. I also help students when I substitute in the classroom setting with their classwork. I believe that each child has their own individual style of learning. Every child learns in a different way and therefore can definitely benefit from individual attention. The best way to help children learn and grow is by gradually encouraging them to love to learn. One of my techniques as an educator is to search for ways that each child can connect with their work and their learning so that they begin to want to learn.

I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener. I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a doctora

I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching. I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell products. If

I am a life long learner and model that for my students. Assessing the academic strengths and areas to work on for each child is a strength of mine.

The teacher is the "guide on the side" who draws out the best in her students. I strive to be that facilitator to learning for all of the childrn with whom I work.

Since beginning my studies in the creative writing program at Purchase College in 2004, writing and literature have become the number one passion and focus of my life. I have been fortunate to study with distinguished lecturers, professors and publishing poets from universities like Columbia and Harvard in the the small program at Purchase, like William Wadsworth, Cecily Parks, and Monica Ferrell. Last month I was recognized for my dedication to poetry and the creative writing program by the faculty when I was awarded the Friends of Humanities American Society of Poetry Senior Prize. I think this is partly due to how I have continued to challenge and encourage my peers to excel and develop at love of literature and writing like I have.
