With a B.S. in Developmental Psychology and preschool education training from Cornell University and a M.Ed in International Education from Harvard University, I became an elementary school teacher at the United Nations International School in New York City. I loved teaching here because of the multicultural atmosphere. I loved interacting with international students and learning about different cultures.I presently tutor at the elementary school level and I especially love teaching math because it's like puzzles to figure out. I use many visual aids and really believe in breaking down everything to the basics and my motto is review, review and review. I believe it's important to go over things because we all forget and that's ok.

I have been a highly skilled middle school science teacher for the past three years in New York City public schools. This experience enables much familiarity with the standards and curriculums that some students may need help with in all subject areas. After tutoring some students I realized that they performed better in numerous tasks since they gained confidence and skills from our sessions. I believe that working one-on-one could develop better understanding of a subject since the tutor and student will work to meet specific goals with strengths and weaknesses kept in mind.

Throughout my career, whether in the cockpit of a US Naval jet or working on strategies for an asset allocation modes, I actively use math everyday. My love of math is profound and my three Honor Roll children are shining examples. I have formally and informally tutored hundreds of pupils for 35+ years and believe that students need to understand concepts rather than memorize them.

Since the age of 16, I've worked with children starting out as a mother's helper to working as a waitress at Friendly's. At a young age, I always knew I wanted to become a teacher. I have worked in positions as a substitute teacher and special educator while I pursued my studies leading up to a Master's degree in Elementary Education.

My teaching philosophy is that; nursing education is very helpful in developing students to become instruments of care in society. Nursing education occurs at all levels and in various environments of scholarly inquiry. This education entails orientations toward preparing students to care for others throughout their lifespan. My vision is to be an educator who provides optimal learning opportunities and experiences to students who aspire to be a part of lifelong learning. My nursing mission is to provide diverse students with the opportunity to learn theoretical and practical nursing involving the use of technology supported by evidence-based practice hence promoting safe practice and quality health care.

With 20 years in the classroom, I have seen firsthand that every child can become a skilled reader with the right techniques and consistent support. While I began my career in high school education, I found my true calling in the early grades—specifically 2nd and 3rd Grade—where the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" is so critical. I specialize in literacy intervention for students with significant hurdles, including dyslexia. Utilizing evidence-based programs like UFLI, I identify specific gaps in phonics and decoding to help students bridge grade-level divides and jump multiple reading levels with confidence.

I firmly believe learning any subject matter is not tied only to the classroom. There are so many resources that are now readily available to be able to comprehend and dialogue to. As a tutor I believe it is not just my responsibility to provide material and ideas to get the student to understand but to be able to find the energy and motivation to stay focused and get through the lesson as quickly and efficiently as possible. The ability to be able to engage to something new and finding meaning to finally understand something we are having trouble comprehending, is equally rewarding as it is a confidence booster. The more fun we can make the lesson the more memorable the information being given can be. Together we can make this happen, adapting to your learning style and any opinion you may have that may help you retain what is most important. I'm here to help every step of the way, catering to any type of information that is being sought.

Thus, I have worked with students who were English Language Learners and of whom had disabilities, in which I had to modify and make accommodations to the curriculum to meet their learning, social, and emotional needs inside and outside of the classroom. Furthermore, these experiences, in essence, will allow me to differentiate instruction and to break down today's learning curriculum standards and content that will match their interests, learning, emotional, and social needs. In turn, I believe that these attributes can bring forth a connection and growth with the students that I wish to work, mentor, and teach here at Varsity Tutors!
