I am a certified Special Education Teacher, Certified in Elementary K-6, as well as English and Language Arts Grades 5-8. I am currently teaching in an inclusion setting in a Middle School. Within that role I work as a team with the other teacher in the room, in subjects such as ELA, Writing, Social Studies, and Science. I find I am most effective in assisting with Reading and Writing, as well as working with Students with Disabilities. I have worked in the education industry for over 5 years, ranging in ages from Pre-K to 8 th grade, in general education settings to self-contained behavioral classes.I have a strong passion for working with students of all ages and abilities. I have found that my diverse experience in working in different settings whether it is different age levels or different types of classrooms, has given me a strong ability to connect to any student I work with. In order to achieve success with my students, the first and most important thing I need to know is, "What is the best way this student can learn?" and of course knowing what interests them. When I have a gauge on what type of learner the student is, it allows me to create my initial baseline assessments and start from there. From there I establish goals and set the foundation to improve the skills that are in need of improvement. When we reach goals, we continue to create new ones and constantly find ways to challenge the student. We all must be challenged as individuals, and in particular as students, because we truly never stop learning.

****WILL NO LONGER BE TUTORING DUE TO NEW OPPORTUNITY CREATING CONFLICT WITH TUTORING SCHEDULES**** "To Learn is to seek, to strive, to find, and never to yield..." Learning is curiosity with courage. Searching when you don't know. Asking questions. Never being satisfied. Learning is a journey, not a destination. Every moment you try to learn, you will understand more, and that is something to cherish. Learning requires the strength to try and the courage to never give up. You will become through trial and error, through adventure and exploration. Small epiphanies and large ones will silently whisper to you, "Hey, you're smart!" When you seek, try, and find, you learn who you are.

I am very flexible, have a calm demeanor, and a warm personality.I hold a bachelor of Arts in English language and Literature, and a Masters' Degree in Multicultural Education. I obtained my P3 certificate, ESL, and Bilingual certificates from NJCU. Being a teacher allows me to meet the diverse needs and challenges my students could sometimes experience. I concentrate on providing lessons and hands-on activities that push my students to a higher level of knowledge and understanding.I also set clear expectations for learning and make sure students understand the directions, procedures, and explanations of the content. I'm looking forward to working with your child.

I have my BA in English Writing and Masters in Early Childhood(Prek-3rd)/Special Education. My first year teaching I was a special education teacher in the Resource Room K-5th grade. I am currently a 1st grade teacher and lead the Science, Math, and Social Studies curriculum. My role is to represent the school in a positive and professional manner. I believe I do this well as I portray an enthusiastic, responsible and reliable image. I also have worked with 3-6 years old in summer camp settings and children with emotional/behavioral issues.I look forward to working with children with any needs they may have. I believe I can learn from them as much as they learn from me. My goal is to not only have children grow intellectually but grow in their confidence and believe that they are smart, capable, and bright children no matter what hurdle they may face during their instruction time.

Looking to work and grow together with many students in as many areas as possible. I plan on using my previous Educational and Work Experience with each and every student I have the pleasure of meeting.

I am a passionate educator striving for quality education and school success for my students. I currently work in the school system particularly with elementary aged students with special needs in all subject areas. My strongest subject is Mathematics and I also believe in the development of good study habits in all areas, thus I feel that students still need to be taught what is good studying, how to stay organized and focus on a study plan for success. Once a struggling shy student myself, I can be relatable and understanding on the obstacles of what's keeping a student from achieving their potential.

I earned my BA in Secondary Education with a teaching certification for Spanish for K - 12th grade from New Jersey City Universtiy. I have previously taught ESL students, computer classes, and tutored at the community college level. I've also worked as a high school Spanish teacher.Hermine Marshall once said "Teachers need to discover new perspectives and new solutions to the problems of learning, ultimately improving the learning environment, by restructuring the frame through which they perceive a problem and generating alternative metaphors." No student learns exactly the same way. Students must trust you as a tutor so they can tell you how they best learn. I always want my students to feel comfortable in their learning environment.I include exercises that are relatable for students in our sessions. I want to help students build connections and scaffold the learning. When learning a language, culture plays a huge part, so I want to relate the learning to Spanish culture as much as possible.In my spare time I enjoy painting, trekking, and soccer.

I love Biology, It is not hard. I enjoy helping my students understand that biology is life. I do this by taking my time to break everything down and focus on the foundations. I'm also a student, so if i do not know something; I make it my top priority to learn about it. :)

I received my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University where I majored in History and Theater. After graduating from college, I worked as a professional actor and director in Chicago for three years. I decided I wanted to live abroad, so I taught English in Prague for a year, before returning to New Jersey to pursue my teaching career. I started my career in education as a middle school History teacher. From there I went back to school (Jersey City University) to get my Masters degree in Special Education and became a special education teacher.After working for several years as a special education teacher I decided to pursue my Masters of Arts degree in school administration. Since enrolling in and completing the graduate program I have had the opportunity to work in several leadership roles in public schools. I currently teach 4th grade math and science at an elementary school in Northern New Jersey. Additionally, I help organize my school district’s Special Education Department. I was first the coordinator of special education for a building servicing over 250 special needs students, with classifications ranging from Specific Learning Disabled to Autistic. From this position I transitioned into becoming a building supervisor where I was a member of the administrative team responsible for over 900 pre-kindergarten to eighth grade students. I am extremely excited to be tutoring for Varsity Tutors and to build a wonderful learning community.As a teacher resource coordinator of special education, I believe all children have the ability to learn and have the right to an appropriate education. This belief has driven me throughout my career and motivated me to become an instructional leader compassionate to every learner. This philosophy is rooted in my special education experiences as both a teacher and coordinator. As educators we must believe every student has the ability to achieve greatness and must work to insure they are afforded all opportunities to do so.Based on my previous experiences, my favorite subjects to tutor are Math and History. I also love to tutor students preparing for the SAT or ACT because I know that success on these standardized tests can unlock a great future for any child. When not working or tutoring, I enjoy playing sports, seeing theater, cooking, and reading.

I thoroughly enjoy both teaching and learning. Through my work as a teacher and a tutor, I hope to inspire a love of learning and of science in my students.I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology. I worked in research for a short period of time before I decided to pursue teaching. I took classes to earn my certificate and then completed my Masters degree in Educational Technology. I have been teaching for 10 years. At my most recent school, I taught high school Biology and AP Biology. I love working with students, helping them to figure things out, and challenging them. Every student learns differently. I enjoy tutoring because I can work with an individual student, learn how that student learns best, and really help him or her to achieve confidence and a high level of comprehension. To truly understand and love science, a student needs to be able to question effectively, problem solve, and think critically. These skills are skills that can be developed most effectively through individualized instruction. I love helping students to excel and to love science.When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two young daughters. We enjoy spending time outside during the nice weather, going to the amusement park, playing on the playground, and taking our dog for long walks. Personally, I also enjoy reading and anything related to science.

I believe that fostering a love for mathematics can inspire confidence and open doors to new opportunities.

Tutoring has been a passion for me since elementary school when I was first given the opportunity to aid my fellow students who were having difficulty. Since then I have always looked for ways to help those around me learn whether in professional or personal settings. I feel that learning is a major part of life, and knowledge is power. It gives me great joy to share what I have learned in life with others in order to give them the power to enjoy life a little more. Throughout the years I have helped other understand Math, English, Computer Basics and Spanish with great results with students from age 10 to 37. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting the student at mutual grounds in order to build a team of student and teacher.

I received my Bachelor in Arts degree concentrating in Music from New Jersey City University. Additionally, received my Associates in Arts degree concentrating in Music from Bergen Community College.Initially, I wanted to become a Music Teacher in New Jersey's Public School, but also enjoyed traveling. Therefore, I decided to teach abroad.I was working as an ESL teacher in South Korea for 2 years. As a teacher, I took care of many daily tasks such as lesson planning, coordinating events and classroom management to ensure the smooth and efficient day or week of teaching, providing support for professional and management staff.I very much enjoyed being a teacher as a Second Language that I decided to further my education and take a CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). This course has opened my eyes as an ESL teacher. It helped me learn much more from the students point of views and how I could help them excel in the language.Because of my background, I am fluent in Spanish.I would like to bring my strong work ethic and communication skill that I have displayed throughout my career.
