Award-Winning Tutors in Bergen County, NJ for Students in Special Education Programs

...challenging myself, I recently began rock climbing. I love the mental and physical challenges of different activities and exercising. Traveling and exploring the world is another great love of mine. I have been lucky to have many wonderful memories experiencing different cultures, people and land. Sharing my travels and thousands of photographs with my family and students is humbling and exciting for me. In addition, I look forward to taking pottery classes with my mother...

...want to challenge yourself. I have a bachelor's degree in Childhood Education from St. John's University and a master's degree in Special Education from the College of Staten Island. I have since taken several other classes to extend my license to teach middle school mathematics. I have been a math tutor since 2009 working with students of all ages from pre-K to college level. My favorite subjects to tutor include high school level math because...

...students at the highest level became my number one priority. When I was a math teacher in middle school/upper elementary, I sought out opportunities to hone my ability to teach literacy when I noticed many of my students struggled to decode word problems. I was trained to administer reading and writing tests to evaluate fluency and comprehension and used that information to guide instruction. I also learned how to support students with IEPs by focusing...

...as a job coach, helping adults 18 and over with disabilities find work, and then I would help train them in the positions they received. In addition to studying education in college, I studied literature, as I have always been fascinated with how and why people act the way they have throughout history. Over the last six years I have taught in a public middle school in Jackson Heights queens. I have taught 3 years...

I am certified in the Wilson's Reading Program which I have often utilized with struggling readers. I have had great success over the years working with students in the New York City public school system which I consider a...

...conflicts that may arise with adult learners' schedule and responsibility. It gave me the opportunity to adapt to many different circumstances and continue to help adult learners to achieve their goal. For the last year I've started working with High School students. There is so many different avenues to reach HS students through their interests and turn that into an avenue into grasping content in multiple fields of study within the HS curriculum. I look...

I am passionate about helping my students learn the materials in each of their individual learning styles. No two students are identical and are able to learn the same. Teachers must be able to adapt and assist each student's needs in this way.

...Sometimes you're pumped about fractions and oftentimes you're yelling at Shakespeare. I graduated from Yale with a degree in American Studies, and took all sorts of fun and arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me. But I've found that having someone (i.e. a tutor) around can help with finding alternative ways of approaching a problem/reading...

...always been a pleasant experience for both the student and for me. Just as I have never shied away from learning difficulties, I also have taught some very technical courses at Queens College, such as Neuroscience of Memory and Psychometrics. My evaluations (from both faculty and students) as a college professor are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable. I have taught college-level statistics...

...that is individualized and tailored to their own needs. I have an undergraduate degree, and am currently working on my professional degree while holding a license in the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages. Both degrees have to do with English and language proficiency, however not limited to those subjects. My Bachelor of Arts degree is in Science Letters and Society, which is a degree created for future teachers. The workload for this...

...through reading and writing, and how those skills apply to my life experiences. My goal is to inspire students, in any way I can. I always knew teaching and tutoring was what I wanted to do with my career. I am going on my 5th year in education, and throughout my experiences I've connected with many kids and families.

...the role of "guide" through this journey. You could say, I have the map, but together we decide which might be the best route to take. This reminds me of times when I literally have taught students how to use a map. There are always many choices of how to get from point A to point B. The question is simply, which is the most effective and efficient way? Of course, if it's a matter...
