...graduated with honors. I am currently working toward my Masters of Science in Education at Bank Street College of Education, where I am a student in the Reading & Literacy program. Currently, I am an elementary and middle school teacher in New York City. I have experience working with diverse student populations and believe that all students can become lifelong learners regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. As a former fifth grade teacher...

...realize that I am capable of overcoming difficulties through perseverance, and that's a skill that I want to pass on to the students I tutor. Everyone makes mistakes and has struggles, but the important thing is that you can move past those roadblocks. As a tutor, I try really hard to help students connect the material they are studying inside the classroom to their passions outside the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the...

...Literature, and History) and the sciences (biology, chemistry, math). I am most passionate about the sciences because many of my extracurriculars have centered around them, such as cancer research and public health research.

I recently worked at a sleepaway summer camp where I discovered my joy for working with youth, especially those managing the tough transition from middle school to high school.

Education opens so many doors that would have been closed otherwise and having the right teacher to help open those doors can make all the difference. I believe that, through my dedication to academia, my love of learning, and experience helping my peers write in fiction and essay...

...this work, I have developed a passion for helping students identify and improve their communication skills. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is when I am able to gain insight into the connections between creative and academic writing. I believe that effective storytelling is a central part of all good writing, so I try to help my students recognize both the story they are currently telling and the story they want to tell--and the...

...at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of...

...and academic research through the use of primary texts and travel explorations has heightened my interest in these subjects. While I emphasize student-centered instruction (with ample opportunities for differentiation, modeling and scaffolding), I am also a firm believer in the inter-generational transmission of knowledge. Teachers/tutors/learning facilitators have just as much to learn from their students as the students do from them, especially as it relates to the use of new media technologies. All children can...
