English/ENL Tutor
About
I am an experienced teacher in my fifth year. I am not only certified in English Language Arts, but English as a New Language as well. I have taken many extra credit courses in order to enhance my understanding of English material, in addition to understanding my students and how they work best.
I have worked in diverse schools in Harlem, Queens, and Gramercy Park, enabling me to acknowledge different learning styles and the idea that "one size does not fit all" when it comes to our students. For this reason, I am able to discover what works best for my particular students, and cater the learning to individual needs.
I enjoy my work because every day uncovers something new! I love working with children because it is always fun and they are always teaching me. Getting to work collaborately with both students and my colleagues every day inspires me, which is more than I can say for many other professions.

How did you get started teaching?
I started my teaching career in Harlem, New York, right out of my Master's Program at Lehigh University. I knew, since high school, however, that I wanted to become a teacher. I loved sitting around with fellow peers and discussing our opinions and thoughts on novels and relating those novels to our real lives.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a diverse population of students from working in Harlem, Queens, and Gramercy Park. I have worked with gifted and talented students, students with disabilities, and ENLs.
When working as a substitute aid in B.O.C.E.S, I worked with students with disabilities in a more one-on-one environment.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should always come to their teachers with a goal, so that their teachers know how best to help them, and what methods to employ in order to do so!
