About Jeanine

I think outside the box to help students learn by helping them develop a growth mindset. Although my Bachelor's of Science degree is in Education of the Hearing Impaired K-12, I can tutor hearing and non hearing students starting from preschool. Students with a disability? No problem! I currently do home instruction for kids in the public schools who are not able to attend their district school for various reasons. I know American Sign Language, French and am learning Spanish.

I've been "teaching" since I was 7 years old! I got inspired to become a teacher for the deaf after my 9th grade English teacher assigned the book, Helen Keller to read. He told us to learn the manual sign language alphabet and voila I decided that I wanted to become a teacher for the deaf.

Bachelor's of Science degree in Education of the Hearing Impaired from Trenton State College, now The College of NJ. Does raising five kids with three in college count? They have been my "students" too. For five years I've also taught preschoolers in Sunday School.

About the lesson

When I work with a new student I like to interview the student in a direct and indirect way to find out the learning styles, preferences and mindset that the student has. This will help me to help the student to take part and engage in learning process.

When I worked at a school for the deaf, I taught high school aged deaf autistic students. Some also had Downs Syndrome and learning disabilities. I have worked with "regular " hearing students and currently in the public schools I tutor students who have behavioral/medical issues of all ages.

Be willing and open to learning. "I can't " is not a valid excuse. Neither is, "It's too hard, I don't want too, It's boring, It's stupid..." etc. If you are willing to learn, no matter how hard the subject is and you are open to letting the teacher teach you, then you will be a successful student.

Recently I had a student who was given a ukulele as a present. Since he did not know how to play it, I researched via YouTube and the library to figure out how to play it so that I could teach it to him. Now we both know how to play the C, F and G major chords for, " You are my Sunshine"!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students should think through why they think they need a tutor. What are their study habits? Do they review what they learn in school before they go to bed? Do they preread materials before the teacher teaches it in school? Do they let their teachers know when they don't understand? Do they look to take the "easy" way out and do the minimal amount of work? Depending on their ages, what is it that they want to do in life?
