I love teaching using examples all around, as well as, painting a word picture which students understand. It is very important for me to know my audience. This helps me in how I should present the information.

Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years. While living in Connecticut I tutored homebound high school age children who were either out on medical leave or expelled for disciplinary purposes. I am proud to report that in addition to several other students, I provided tutoring for a full course load covering an entire year for one expelled student who improved grades in every course and went on to graduate. I have also created training programs and hired and trained numerous employees in the insurance industry and serve as co-chair for an annual insurance educational conference held in New York City. While my degree is in English, I enjoy and excel in math and other courses as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and more importantly seeing youth succeed through small strides. I am a teacher and love to help students see that all things are achievable. I encourage youth to practice the material that they may receive and study it as well. I will go over material multiple times until the student has been able to really understand what they are doing. I allow my patience and humbleness to lead my teaching.
Having graduated college with my BA in psychology in the concentration of child and youth, I have been blessed with the opportunities to work in the educational feel for the past 4 years. I have worked as an associate instructor teaching ages 11-15 and I currently work as a teacher assistant amongst special needs youth. I also have a great deal of experience tutoring in math, reading, and english for elementary aged youth.

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs.

Since young I have always had a passion for learning and my education, and throughout my college years my desire and love for teaching has grown greatly. As a firm believer in the significance of education, I have a strong motivation to be able to help every student I teach grow as a student. To accomplish this I do everything I can to find what works most effectively for each student. My approach to teaching is one in which I believe every student has their own learning style(s), which I first try to identify and then adjust my teaching strategy to meet the individual needs of every student. I always let my students know that I believe in he or she and I constantly encourage as well as rejoice every little struggle he or she overcomes.

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.

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford. I have a dual certification in Special Education and Elementary Education. I have taught in both Urban and Suburban areas in grades K, 1, 2,5,6, and 7. I have also tutored children in grade 4 and peers at the college level. I have tutored all elementary subjects and at the college level I have tutored in English and World History.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school and now that I have graduated I am excited to finally live out my childhood dreams. I am very enthusiastic, patient, and creative. I feel as though all children can learn, it's just a matter of figuring out what learning style best suits them. I truly believe in the use of positive reinforcement whenever possible.

More About This Tutor...

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 "learning approach" that best matches the student's style and needs.
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 an ... read more
