...math and science, and even though these subjects are often considered "dry," the right teaching style can spark any student's interest. When it comes to standardized test preparation, I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring...

...types of mistakes that students generally make and can often anticipate student's issues before they become obvious or grow to become a serious issue. Once I have accepted a student, I have a personal investment in that student and will go to great lengths to assure that they will succeed in the endeavour that we have committed to achieving.

...throughout my years of teaching, mostly accidental. Once I successfully taught 3 years of Jr High math to a student who barely spoke English within one summer, I felt ready to take on any challenge! Overall though, I have found that the most important job as a tutor is to identify the missing foundations and fill them in. When I'm not teaching or tutoring I enjoy sewing and building (all in all, I'm a very...

...Studies and Language Arts to 4th graders. My experience with testing involves NJASK and PARCC. I am also actively involved in my local community college- Passaic County Community College.

Through hard work and a commitment to understand the material, students can become successful.

Throughout my time at Rider I learned how to not only teach history within a traditional classroom setting, but how to motivate people to achieve their goals and guide them through the process. Teaching, to me, is much more than just explaining material and ensuring students understand concepts; teaching is about enabling the student to think critically and go beyond what they thought was their limits.

All of these experiences have taught me effective, valuable tutoring strategies. I have a passion for learning and teaching which makes a career working with students something I am very excited about. In addition to education, some of my other passions include running, reading, softball and volunteering!... I believe that students...
