Interactive and personal. As I work with my students I try and best understand what ways they enjoy working and learning so that I can make those a priority when developing lessons and activities. I've worked extensively while attending college tutoring both as a volunteer in public schools and as a personal tutor. While tutoring in a public school setting I worked both with individual students and small groups in math and science classrooms. I am a registered and licensed Life Science Educator through the university I attended and additionally I am a registered and licensed Environmental Educator through an independent program with the state of Ohio. My hours are flexible as is the subject I can assist with.

Having worked for 40 years in the military, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and a city government I retired early to begin a new career in teaching and tutoring. I have substituted in urban and suburban schools covering topics for students from pre-K through 12th grade. I have been teaching now for 4 years and tutoring for 1 year. It is a thrill to be able to guide students through the learning process. And it is a constant challenge to keep current and prepare for substitute positions. I have a B.S. in Business Administration which I earned in the evenings while on active duty in the Army. And an MBA with dual majors in marketing and health care administration. I enjoy working with students of all ages. My teaching style is nurturing and patient. Everyone learns at different speeds and no one approach works for all students.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Marketing and Public Relations field, but I never could have imagined the fulfillment I would recieve within education. I love to challenge my students and show them just how much they can achieve through hard work and dedication. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child's face when they achieve a good grade or positive praise. Each time I tutor a child, my day is brightened- how lucky am I!!?? After working in the Marketing/PR field for 5 years, I relocated to Puerto Rico to be with my husband. Not having a solid foundation of the language, I could not obtain a job in my previous field. It was at this time that I discovered the world of education. I began substitute teaching at the Department of Defense School and continued doing that for one year. We were then relocated to Savannah, GA and I was hired by a private school to teach 6th and 7th g

My undergraduate degree included a minor in Special Education which helped me in future employment where I have worked with children who have a variety of needs. I have found that when working with children patience is required and it is often helpful to include fun projects or incentives whenever possible to help retain information and keep focus on the skills they’re being required to learn. I also attempt teach study skills along with course material for retention and to ensure future achievement with minimal intervention. After earning my MS in Counseling and Human Services I worked for a private agency where I had years of experience with children who had difficulties in school for any number of reasons. I often helped high school and elementary school aged children with course required materials including writing and math skills along with other behavioral needs. I have found that

I am a certified teacher and an experienced tutor. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and have experience in tutoring students of all ages. I have tutored students in Language Arts, Science, Math, Social Studies, and some GED prep, as well. I really enjoy what I do each day in the classroom and I love to tutor even more! Tutoring allows me to teach more one-on-one and spend the extra time that students need to learn. I believe in pushing students, but also using positive reinforcement and enjoying the "ah-ha" moments! I set the bar high for my students but am there to assist and guide them every step of the way. I am a very caring, kind, and laid-back teacher and tutor. This is not to say that I don't have high expectations, I certainly do, but I believe that students need to be themselves when they are learning. I think that my students can see that I genui

I enjoy teaching children of all ages. I believe that all children have the ability to learn even the toughest of subjects if they have the desire to learn and the proper tools to succeed. My goal is to provide the best learning experience possible by making the material fun and remaining patient while giving encouragement. Graduating, Cum Laude, from the University of New Haven has enabled me the opportunity to work as a Forensic Scientist with the State of Ohio, Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification for the past six years. Holding a BS in Forensic Science, I have strong understanding of biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Additionally, while attending the University I worked as a science and math tutor as well as a peer mentor in chemistry.
