My comments on tutoring Special Education : Certification in Special Education with experience at multiple grade levels.

My teaching style depends on the student I am working with. Teaching is about working with the student in the way that works best for them. I hold my students to high expectations that I know they are capable of reaching. I think it is important for students to identify their goals to help them determine their educational path.
I have been teaching and tutoring for many years. I have tutoring experience for students in grades 1,2,3,and 5. I have teaching experience in Special Education and Elementary Education in grades K,1,2,4, and 5. I began my career as a teacher's assistant. I taught second grade for 2 years. I currently teach 5th grade. My student teaching was completed at all grade levels with a concentration in k-2 and 4-5.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught many different students from all types of backgrounds, from gifted to learning disabled. The reason I have success with these students is because I make learning fun and relevant. I develop creative tools that are of interest to that particular student, while cultivating a great deal of empathy. This is based on getting to know the family the child is a member of. By understanding the lifestyle,demographics and cultural nuances, I can determine any problems that may deter from learning, and any strengths which can be built upon. My goal is to create an individual program that allows the learner to achieve their own personal best without the pressure of group age standards.
My education at NYU and my Bachelor of Science degree, gave me a solid foundation because I had the knowledge and confidence upon which to build my teaching career. The classes and student teaching ... read more

I find that each person has a different learing style and try to find out what works for them. I also teach them that organization of thoughts and ideas are helpful in how they approach learning. I relate the subject matter to what is needed to learn and to something that they can relate to. I believein repetition and that all people can learn if someone takes the time to find out their individual learning style. I find helping other learn and be successful very rewarding to me and would love the opportunity to do so with your students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything.
How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blowe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working in the education field is a dream come true for me. I love every minute of it. I have a love of learning and I enjoy sharing that with others and helping my students turn into life-long learners. I understand that all students do not learn the same way and that one teaching approach is not going to work with everyone. I have had a lot of practice determining what techniques students need and finding the way to reach those students so that they can be as successful as possible. I am a very fun and energetic teacher. I am very creative and like to come up with hands-on activities to teach my students. I enjoy showing students that learning is fun. I find what motivates my students and incorporate that into my teaching.
I have a BS in Elementary Education with a GPA of 3.86 and a MS in Special Education with a GPA of 3.93. I value education and I have had a lot of exp ... read more

I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance. I have adopted many evidence-based practices with respect to effective teaching. I have strong organizational skills. I believe that in establishing consistent guidelines at the outset and stating the importance of every activity, I will demonstrate to my students respect for their presence and time. It is my objective that each student will learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing enviro ... read more

I primarily use the Socratic Method (question and answer) as my teaching style. I believe that asking students the right questions helps them to learn the information. Also, in certain instances I believe it helps the learning process if the subject matter can be related to an area of interest. I believe this can be a key component in a student's understanding of a subject.
I served as a tutor, primarily for English, History, and writing, for three years while attending Southern Vermont College. Following graduation, I worked for three years as a paraprofessional for Leland & Gray Union High School. While working in this capacity there were several one on one situations similar to the relationship that exists between tutors and their students. In addition to the aforementioned subjects I tutored while in college, I also assisted students in other areas such as basic math and genera ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Currently, I work for the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa school districts as a home instructor for grades 6 to 12. I enjoy working with the kids one on one and feel wonderful about helping them stay up to date with their school work until they are physically able to return to the regular classroom setting. Aside from home instruction, I also work regularly as a substitute for Saratoga County schools, and have built up a great working relationship with all faculty and students in each building that I am assigned. Prior to working for Saratoga Springs, I taught 1st grade for two years at PS 325 which is located in Manhattan. I had a very successful run at PS 325, and I am proud of my accomplishments with the children especially in the area of mathematics and reading. Lacking opportunities at home, many of my children faced incredible challenges when it came to learning thus I had ... read more
