A Little Bit About Me...

I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning.
Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grad ... read more

Dynamic and stimulating teaching environments motivate students.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.

I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently and lessons cannot be taught primarily through auditory learning. A teacher especially one in the younger grades must engage in auditory, visual, tactile, kinestics and other learning methods.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed working with children and understanding their perceptions of the given subject matter. This often results in a personal, in-depth level of conversation normally not available to most students. It has only been about five years since I was a high school student myself, and I find that it is generally very easy for me to communicate with students on a personal level, as a friend rather than from a distance as only a hired instructor. Still, I handle tutoring lessons appropriately, am always very considerate of a parent's requests and am still certain to push a student to make sure he or she makes the grade rather than to simply entertain them for an hour or two without preparing them for their academic responsibilities.
Having had pursued a BA in English, not only did I focus on the course material within each class, but even more importantly, I managed to great ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I allow students to work at their own pace and, if possible, provide them with more than one solution to the problem they are trying to solve, whether it be visual, mathematical or basic study skills. This way, they can learn in the way that fits them best. I am patient and willing, and I speak in a more casual way so as to keep students comfortable and interested. On that same note, I often compare study skills or tasks to everyday life so that they can better see the relevance of their education.
As a liberal arts college, Connecticut College allowed me to pursue many areas of interest while earning my bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. I now, not only have a degree in drawing, but also a certificate in Museum Studies and a solid foundation in art history, Spanish, and chemistry.

With my experience working in preschools for the past few years, I have gained much knowledge in encouraging growth and development among children in many fields including reading and writing. I seek to gain my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education at the same time as I gain more experience in the field.
It is a teacher’s responsibility to target what may hinder a student’s progress and to make sure every child understands that each individual has unique talents. A teacher must explore each child’s strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them towards developing confidence in finding their talents. I believe that without encouragement and recognition of their talents, any potential for a child to find success in any given subject area may be impeded. With reassurance, development in children increases in all areas. This development brings progress among both teachers and stude ... read more

The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.
