Ashley Frankian- Special Educator, Ell instructor

I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate student at Bay Path College in Longmeadow, MA I have mastered the fields of finance, accounting, technical writing, and computer skills. As a paralegal, my attention to detail has allowed me to master all rules of grammar and language format. While attending undergraduate school in Colorado I tutored classmates in Spanish, Italian, and writing. I also volunteered as a law clerk and taught Greek Mythology and Sociology to middle and high-school students expelled from school and placed in the Boulder County Juvenile Justice Center.
I enjoy teaching and working with all students- elementary to college-age. I have experience tutoring and mentoring children of all ages, including special-needs children. I gain great satisfaction from knowing I am helping students succeed. Knowledge is power.

I am willing to try different strategies to see what works best for teaching a particular child. I can cater to a child's visual, auditory, or tactile needs. I believe every child has a strength and I will use this as a way in to learn about and explore other academic areas with the child.
I always knew I wanted to work with children, and have taken various jobs in the educational field. I worked in a daycare center during college. I have also been a substitute teacher and worked a in summer school program for children with autism. I have a B.A. in psychology with a minor in sociology from UConn. I am presently persuing my M.A. in school counseling, and will be completing a full-time internship in a high school counseling department during the 2010-2011 school year. My academic strengths are reading and writing, and could easily tutor at the high school or college level in the ... read more

I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I truly enjoy doing helping others. My teaching style is somewhat laid-back, but students know that I expect them to learn to their fullest potential. I believe in using several learning styles in the classroom and being to identify which students require different ways of learning. If something doesn't work in the classroom, I will do what it takes to make each student understand.
I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a younger teacher, and it is important to me to do two things that a lot of instructors sometimes feel are mutually exclusive; develop a personal bond with my students and maintain a set of expectations for academic achievement. I am a witty, empathetic, and goofy person in my private life, and letting students glimpse that has been crucial to my success in teaching. I make sure to provide positive feedback and I prefer to frame mistakes in a positive way, while praising effort, in order to help students feel comfortable taking risks. Lastly, tutoring has taught me that holding your students to high standards can help them to feel great about themselves when they achieve what they might have thought impossible without help.
My experiences during and after college have been crucial to realizing my skill and joy in tutoring and teaching. I was fortunate enough to attend a sm ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am seeking a degree in Finance and Actuarial Sciences from the University of Connecticut. I achived a high level of proficiency in math from a very young age and finish Advanced Calc 3 and a half years ago. I have tutored a student for his entire second year of high school in all subjects with noticable GPA improvements.
I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student who excelled in school throughout my high school, undergraduate, and graduate education, I have a passion for helping students achieve that same sense of success. I grew up living and traveling internationally, and studied International Development and Spanish in order to further my understanding of the diversity of cultures in our world. I hold an MA in International Development and a BA in Spanish. My studies and life experience have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of social studies, history, Spanish as a foreign language, English, and basic math and science. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports along with essays in many various areas of study.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find acad ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a professional writer with 25 year experience in the field and I am also a seasoned tutor. I have been tutoring students in writing papers and preparing for written tests in many subjects — including English, history, social studies, government, psychology, and sociology — since I graduated from Clark University with Honors in English in 1985 and have continued working with middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate level students since that time. I also have worked with students on SAT, SSAT and TOEFL test preparation in the areas of reading comprehension, writing and speaking (TOEFL).
I love working with middle school children and young adults. I have worked successfully with students from under-served populations as well as international students. One example is my work with an internationally born undergraduate student who I tutored in English literature and wr ... read more

I am a Massachusetts certified teacher of mathematics for grades 5-12, and have four years combined experience as a teacher and tutor of mathematics and language arts. My experience includes training at the Huntington learning center of Acton Massachusetts, where I became well versed in strategies for improving performance on standardised tests, especially the SAT. I have also taught for two years at Marlborough High School, where I worked in classrooms with students who had various learning disabilities, from ADD to autism.
My teaching style is based first and foremost upon engagement. I feel that it is absolutely critical for the successful instructor of any subject to have a passion for that subject that is evident in the way he or she interacts with students. For myself, there is no higher calling than education- and the benefits that can be reaped through effective mathematic ... read more

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 elective courses in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
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 "l ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I've tutored at inner-city schools and in one-on-one environments. I have also tutored numerous Russian-speaking adults, children, refugees, and asylees in English through a non-profit organization. This assistace helped them become self sufficient and learn English and American culture. I thoroughly enjoyed that tutoring, and have since become a teacher.
I always want students to feel relaxed in a tutoring session. I adapt my teaching style to each student and encourage them to practice, explore, analyze, and learn from any mistakes. As a tutor, I will create an environment of comfort, and answer questions without causing any embarrassment. I want to restore a student's confidence in learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that everyone learns and can teach in his or her way. I use as many methods as I can to bring a lesson objective across and take my student's learning style into consideration when I teach. I learn a lot as well when I tutor/teach and am always reminded how fun education in any form can be!
I began working in the field of education in 2003 during a fieldwork experience in a kindergarten classroom at P.S. 20 on the Lower East Side of New York City. I then student taught children in 9th and 12th grades in English at Burncoat High School in Worcester,MA for my MA license in 2005. I taught English at Worcester Technical High School until the birth of my twin sons in 2006. I tutored Japanese business professionals until I began my career as an ESL teacher in December 2008 for Worcester,MA. I am two courses away from finishing my Masters degree in Education and truly love what ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my four years at Roger Williams University, I was involved with a number of activities that helped me in my desire to become an English teacher. Volunteering with the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island as a leader, editing my college newspaper and sitting on a number of committees are just a few of the opportunities I had at my college. Now, as a first year teacher, I am using my love of teaching and aiding others to not only help my students be the best students they can be, but I am also encouraging my students to get involved in their community and the world around them. While in college, I was a writing tutor for 2 years. I have also tutored this year as well.
As a first year teacher, I am using my creative impulse to establish a relationship with my students. I am fostering a love of learning in my classrooms, as well as a desire to learn more about the world. I am so ... read more
