Teaching the way that my students learn best.

I have teaching experience with both general education and special education on the middle school level as well as the elementary level through my private school experience. I am currently a general education reading teacher who has high expectation of all of my students. My teaching experience includes working with general education and team taught settings with students who have various IEP’s goals and objectives for the past 6 years. As a teacher, I think that it is very important to meet the needs of the whole child as well as their educational needs.

In doing so, I have achieved many success moments with encouraging my students to meet their goals and objectives. Furthermore, my current position enables me to provide my second language learner students with “fundamental reading skills” ... read more

Learning is a Stepping Stone to a Successful Elevator

I have been in the field of education for 19 years. I enjoy interacting with students and helping them academically as well as teaching life skills such as communication, team work, collaboration and building self confidence. I believe learning can take place through fun meaningful activities. I have participated in various leadership roles such as grade chair and chair of various academic and nonacademic committees. I am certified in teaching gifted students as well.
My style of teaching is based upon the needs of students. Learning can take place through hands on techniques, art, creativity, music, dance, paper/pencil, drama, or team work. I believe students can have fun and learn at the same time. Projects and out of the box activities are creative teaching techniques to help students extend, expand or develop their talents.

More About This Tutor...

It is much easier to learn, if you know the instructor is working with you and for you. I think if the person is in a relaxed atmosphere and they know they are moving forward toward their goal, they will feel the rewards of their efforts. It is easier to learn when the instructor and the child are working for the same goals.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and a minor in Psychology. I have had several years of experience working with the public. I enjoy working with children and helping them to succeed. I have the patience to help them achieve their goals. I have worked with adults helping them achieve their GED and placing them into training programs.

I believe that students learn in a variety of ways and demonstrate their understand in many ways as well. Therefore, I strive to help students learn what type of learner they are by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and utilizing those in teaching. I also use Bloom's Taxonomy to take learners from learning knowledge to critical thinking. My strength in teaching is my ability to make a connection of the student and being approachable. This had allowed me to be an exciting part of a child's education and ultimately their future as an adult and contributor to society.

As the legacy of a man who was likened to Paul Robeson, the first African-American to become president of any college or university in New Jersey, and of a dedicated mother who taught me the importance of good penmanship, I understand the essence of critical thinking and how that shapes a writer to the purpose for writing.
