Every child can learn is my philosophy. I love teaching and learning from my students. Together we bring a wealth of knowledge to the table and build from it.

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
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 a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have had an ongoing desire to pursue a career in literacy and childhood education since receiving my Bachelor’s of Arts in Child Studies in 1995 from St. Joseph’s College. Recently, I graduated with a Master’s of Science in Childhood Education and Literacy from Long Island University at C.W. Post and am currently working as the everyday ELA substitute teacher in the West Babylon School District. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to work full-time in the AIS Reading Room as the English Language Arts Everyday Substitute in the West Babylon School District. I currently work with kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade students providing daily remedial reading intervention.
I believe all children can learn, but in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best educ ... read more

I would describe my teaching style as patient, caring, and creative. My goal is to make sure my students feel comfortable and relaxed enough to absorb the information we are working on. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn if they are guided by the right educator. My goal is to help my students learn enough so they eventually can work independently. I find that my students really enjoy my style of teaching, and feel that I am always available for them. They are relaxed with me and feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and be open to learning. One of the greatest joys I have is teaching a child to learn. Learning can be fun and I try to let them see that!
I have been a substitute teacher in the Commack School District for over ten years. I love helping my students reach their goals and feel so gratified in doing so. It gives me great ple ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former HS Math teacher in NYC I have great experience working with students that many other teachers regard as "difficult". As a product of NYC public schools I was well suited to work with such students and had great success in helping them achieve their academic goals and make better choices in their lives. I often encounter students who thank me for the help and orientation I provided at a time when it would have been all too easy to succumb to peer pressure and make wrong choices.
I am especially well versed at helping students that have great difficulty in learning subjects such as math. I have developed new teaching methods that are extremely effective. I have been able to help many disaffected students who had given up on themselves and who other teachers viewed s hopeless cases. I find it very gratifying to rekindle a student's passion for education and a love of ... read more

Teaching is where I belong. I am passionate as well as creative about teaching young people how to think, learn, develop, and grow. My efforts and skills surpass simply the subject matter and reach to character, learning strategies, becoming successful, and understanding strengths and how to improve weakness. People say that teachers don't make much. On the contrary, I make a big difference in the lives of my students. My approach is realistic. With regards to classroom management, I simply deny the student the opportunity to be disciplined. I look for students doing something right and reward them immediately. I ask my students to get caught doing something right. I teach outside of the status quo box. If they are not learning in traditional formats, then I come to understand how EACH student learns and develop my plans and approach specifically to that student. Tha ... read more

After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a BA in English, I went on to pursue my teaching certification through an internship program. During that time and shortly following, I had the opportunity to work as a teacher's assistant in grades 3 and 5, a long term substitute in grade 3, and a long term substitute in a sixth grade Language Arts class. From there, I was hired as a third grade teacher, which is what I currently teach. In addition, I have tutored students, in grades 2 through 6, in various areas including Reading, Writing, and Math.
My passion in life is working with children! I love teaching and having the opportunity to share knowledge with children. My experience teaching and tutoring has taught me a great deal about how to reach different students. All children are capable of learning; however, the manner in which children learn can differ.
