ELL, Reading and Writing, Standardized tests ALL ages

I am a fan of Howard Gardner- I believe each student has his/her own learning style. Knowing these learning styles can help both teacher and student accomplish academic success. I also believe in a gradual release of responsibility on the student's part. Teaching vocabulary before the actual lesson can help the student understand more completely.
I have recently acquired a Master of Education degree in Education-a lifelong dream. I have taught in both private and public schools in grades PreK-6. I have tutored many students along the way-including summer school for struggling readers and writers. My most recent assignment was a permanent substitute position in the first grade. I am currently tutoring in ELL AND ALL ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. I have passed all the MTEL exams and have helped fellow colleagues with these exams. I also hold License to teach Special Needs.

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

More About This Tutor...

As a 2008 graduation of Westfield State College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education I have enjoyed being a high school English teacher for two years. My training prior to my career involves experience with English at all four high school levels, drama (both academic and extra curricular,) speech methods and instruction, and urban school environments. Additionally, career opportunities while teaching have allowed me to pursue new and progressive methods of teaching literature and writing.
I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By re ... read more

I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passion but the research and analytical skills I have learned help me present information in a way that is easy to understand and comprehend. As an Aquatic Education instructor I embraced those that were concerned about our environment and encouraged ideas to resolve issues.
Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an early childhood teacher, I have had several opportunities to help children (school age), to do homework. I also was a tutor in high school to a boy for just Algebra, which then turned around to being all of his subjects and helping him keep on track. The hardest thing for me was that he had only lived in the U.S. for four years, and had trouble speaking English. After each session of tutoring, I would grab the Scrabble board, which encouraged him to use more words, learn new words, and have fun while doing so.
I like to get to the point of certain problems, such as reading the child/student when I see them, ask them some questions about the subjects they need help in and why they need help. I have worked with Infants-School age for over 5 years, and enjoy being there to help someone in need. I believe in giving back, because so many of us are blessed already.

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).

More About This Tutor...

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. I helped students with a variety of subjects such as science, math, social studies, geography, and even organizational skills. I worked with children from all walks of life, including kids with disabilities. During my time at Breakthrough I also spent two days a week tutoring mentally disabled adults. I helped them with basic math and reading skills, as well as life skills.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel that I excel in putting myself in the student's shoes. By trying to understand their thought process, I can best teach by making sure the student follows the logic of the subject. I have always believed that allowing the student to reach understandings through subtle guidance by the teacher is the best process. This method allows students to retain information better and feel more comfortable with the material.
I have always enjoyed both the humanities and sciences. At Virginia Tech, I majored in Philosophy and Minored in Statistics and Business. Since graduation, I have worked primarily in an engineering setting performing statistical analysis and other tasks typically performed by a test & validation engineer. Next fall I am starting a masters program at Northeastern University for Industrial Engineering. I have substitute taught for the Hopkinton Public School syst ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 mathematics education can easily benefit all other scholastic areas. When a teacher can effectively engage with students in a positive and encouraging manner, the students can benefit through an increased confidence which is the natural result of successful problem solving endeavors.

I believe every student deserves a quality education and every student has gifts and can be challenged to succeed with those gifts. A teacher can positively impact each child with thoughtful dedication, perseverance, creativity and hard work. My goal is to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can encourage such traits in the students as well. I provide my students the following: explicit instruction, creating an encouraging and friendly classroom climate, offering a variety of reading materials. Discerning and teaching curriculum that resonates with my students and helps them to learn the building blocks for their successful academic future is my goal.

As a graduate of Merrimack College, I have always had a passion for great literature. I became an English major with the intent of becoming a journalist, but quickly learned I did not belong behind a desk in a newsroom, but I belonged at the center of a classroom. I worked at the Writing Center at merrimack and helped my fellow peers edit their papers. I have been teaching for three years and aid and assist my students after school and before school with all of their needs. My strength is in English, but I am very good with history and social studies as well. I am confident that I could assist your child and help them understand and feel comfortable and confident as a reader, writer and thinker.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Worcester State College in January of 2009. My major course of study was economics. Along with economics, I took a variety of courses, including physics, and multiple US History courses. Besides economics I would say that these two subjects, along with writing and english composition are my key strengths besides my major area of study. Currently I am an assistant high school football coach and I responsible for two specific positions within the team. I tutored for Worcester State College economics majors, not only in economics, but any subject I could help them with. I plan on becoming a teacher and have taken the first of two tests in the teacher's licensure process.
I have not yet become a classroom teacher. I have already applied to summer school programs throughout the state. As a coach, I feel that it is essential to inspire students/my student ath ... read more
