My teaching style varies with the learning style of the student I am working with at any given time. I believe in positive reinforcement with facilitative rather than demeaning corrections. My basic philosophy for all students is to meet their wagon where it is at, hitch my horse to it and carry the students as far as they can go with their abilities and aptitudes. I believe strongly that every student can succeed and that strong reading, writing and mathematics skills are a key to that success. I know I make a difference to my students because they and their parents tell me so. My most gratifying moments come when parents tells me, "I want you to teach my child just like you taught me!" I decided to become a teacher in 7th grade when two teachers in a time of family crisis turned my life around and turned me on to learning. I majored in elementary education, earned a dual master's degre

I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of writing assignments, as well as math, science, social sciences, and history. I have even assisted with graduate research papers, from an Oxford professor, and my students received top scores. I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of children and

I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level. It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.

My personal teaching and training experience with kids from Elementary to High School is exquisite because I have taught 6th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 8th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 9th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology, and 10th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology. I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature, and an Associates Degree in Biology. I have a very unique method of teaching I use with kids- I’ll give them time to explain everything before I start my plan with them, that way I’ll know their exact personalities and work with that to determine exactly what needs to be done.And, at the same time,give them great advice they can use all their lives and build a trust with them that they know they can rely and depend on me whenever they needed to. This will strengthen their personality and

I am a constructionist; my initial step with all students is to assess "where they are," so that I will know from which level to begin the building process. Especially in a one-on-one basis, I allow the student to critique samples of my own writing/speaking; my demonstrating a willingness to accept his/her criticism seems to lay a foundation for the "give and take" of collaborative learning. Also, I seek to establish "up front" that the student has value and is capable of learning---concepts I seek to reinforce as the learning process continues. I learned English from my mother, who taught Junior High English; she helped me grasp the rules, so that English actually "made sense" to me. I have taught English in two private schools, one parochial school, and one public school system; I have also taught Old and New Testament Survey classes at a Community College (with primarily non-tradition

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22. Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I enjoy

I have taught in three different states: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. The levels have been 3rd grade through 12th. Each state and each class added to my comprehension of the variety of needs and learning abilities of each student. Thus, allowing me to use a variety of ways to instruct and have the students not only learn but completely understand what is being taught. Learning is a lifelong enjoyable journey. I diligently work to make learning fun and interesting. A sense of humor, nurturing, hands-on experiences and my strong knowledge base is used to encourage and support my student(s) into developing his/her (their) positive self esteem and working up to their academic potential.

I am a recently retired school teacher/administrator. My career has included serving as an elementary teacher of 4th and 5th grades as well as Special educator in grades pre-school to high school aged students. For five years, I served as a principal of elementary and middle schools. I am certified to teach all subjects in these areas and am certified in NY and FL. My teaching style could best be described as democratic and socratic. I believe all teachers need to be well prepared for the classroom and ready to shift gears when a question might demand it. I believe that teaching and learning are one in the same. Teacher and student should be ready to teach and learn together. I am patient and willing to go as quickly or as slowly as needed. Students determine the pace, and delivery of instruction is based on the needs of the students.

My love for learning, achievement and assisting others is a asset I possess. My persistence in reaching goals has transformed me into a strong, knowledgeable and highly driven person. I have worked as a substitute teacher. I taught subjects such as, Basic Spanish, Health to Middle School students and all subject matter to fifth graders. For the last seven years I have worked with troubled and/or physically and mentally abused children. My experience in these areas has exposed me to diffent methods of teaching.

During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I assisted students that were enrolled in the ACE Adult Program. These students ranged in ages from 18 to 65 years old. Additionally, I worked with Martin Porres Educational Services and the No Child Left Behind Program. During my years of tutoring I have assisted students in Psychology, Statistics, math courses up to Calculus, basic science classes, reading, English, computer courses, and nursing courses (relating to mathematics). Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general.
