I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a tutor to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment; acting as a guide, allowing the students natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and promoting respect and honor.When the tutor's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves and practice skills in authentic situations. Providing students access to hands-on activities and allowing adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson being studied creates an opportunity for individual discovery and construction of knowledge to occur.Equally important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. Inviting student dialogue about the lessons and units of study lends the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself. When students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to work hard and master the skills necessary to reach their goals.Helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas; when the voice of each student is heard, and environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. I believe children have greater respect for their tutors, their peers, and the lessons presented when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. In setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn, they learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.For myself, tutoring provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as a tutor is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always strive to be the best tutor that I can be.

Keep developing yourself into a better human being. There is always room for growth.

I am a graduate of Albright College where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a co-concentration in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. While at Albright, I was deeply involved with Academic Learning Center's tutoring program. I accumulated over 500 hours tutoring my peers in their college Math courses. I tutored mainly Calculus, but I also had the opportunity to train and mentor other new tutors. I helped them learn the importance of study skills, learning styles, and communication so they could more effectively help the students they tutored. Math has always been my favorite subject to tutor because I love helping students build their foundation in whatever course they are taking to help them be successful. I have always been fascinated by the way different topics in Math are intertwined. In my spare time, I love to do all types of crafts, especially knitting. I also enjoy baking decorative cakes and cupcakes and reading.

I have 19 years of teaching experience in grades 7-9 while holding a Mathematics Teaching Certification in grades 7-12. Aside from helping students reach their maximum potential inside of the classroom, I have helped train and coach young student-athletes in various sports throughout the years.

I am a graduate of Albright College with a BA in Child and Family Studies and certification in Elementary Education. I am the proud parent of 4 amazing children and lucky enough to have a job that I truly love. Currently, I am employed as a Basic Skills instructor in a public school. I have over 15 years of experience in elementary education and consider teaching not only my career, but my passion. I pride myself on my ability to connect with my students and design a unique educational plan that will best serve their needs. I feel it is very important to take the time to ascertain the learning style of my students and then tailor my lessons accordingly. My supervisors have always applauded my rapport with both my students and parents, and I make every effort to treat my students the way, I, as a parent would like my child to be treated. My students have all made amazing improvements in their standardized test scores, and had a lot of fun along the way. I love to travel, cook, read, jog and spend time with my family.
