I am a certified history teacher in the States of Connecticut and New York. I work as a paraprofessional in Fairfield County, CT, helping to education students with diverse needs. I got into tutoring to expand my knowledge and skills working one on with students. If you are looking for your child to get an extra boost in their subject in school, I am happy to help out. (Please be advised, I require 24 hours notice).
My Education: I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Studies Education and my Certification from Manhattanville College. Currently, I am working on gaining my Masters of Arts in Teaching at Fairfield University. Both schools are highly accredited liberal arts colleges in the Northeast, well known for academic excellence.
My Occupation: As a teacher, I have worked with students of all abilities in a variety of classroom settings. As a paraprofessional, I make sure that the students I teach are meeting their goals on a daily basis. Consistency is key in education, and I make sure that I am following through with their education plans so that they can gain mastery over the knowledge and skills in class. This job affords me the ability to see how different teacher structure their classrooms and how they pay attention to the individual needs of the students in their care.
My Skills as a Tutor: I have had many satisfied and repeat customers. I work with students from middle school to college. Each of my sessions are tailor made to each individual student's learning styles and preferences. My greatest strength is helping students better understanding classroom content. I have received excellent feedback from the parents of my students, who have thanked me for helping their children with the content. My specialty subject is History, particularly AP History courses. I worked with a young man who wanted to pass the Ap World History exam. Over the next several months, I created a study plan by which, he could ask me questions on the content he found difficult, I would explain them, using worksheets or videos to illustrate them further, and we would end with a multiple choice short quiz to ensure mastery. When he received his scores for the exam, he got a 5.
I love teaching students. Working in the public school system has been an inspiring experience. I have work students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and with a variety of learning experiences, but the one thing that ties them all together is their eagerness to learn.
In the classroom, I have done my best to create lessons that are able to meet their own individual academic needs and challenge them at the same time. My work as a tutor has greatly influenced my own style of teaching. Often times, I am able to apply what I have used successfully as a tutor and apply it to my classes. This has greatly enhanced my ability to help my students.
Tutoring is a wonderful career to help me refine my craft as an educator and work with students one on one.
