Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ashfield, MA

Some people learn by talking, some tactically by doing, some visually by example. It depends on the student, or I devise a presentation that involves all three ways of presenting the information. I believe that learning and understanding the value of what is being learned is as important as the content. I am a doer who has shared his knowledge and experience in a variety of ways. When I worked as a photographer and filmmaker, I taught those subjects at many different institutions, from an after-school program for elementary school kids to NYU Graduate School. For many years now, I have worked as a science writer and editor. I mentor many newly minted Chinese scientists and engineers who work for IBM in Beijing, teaching them both English grammar and the proper form and style for peer-reviewed scientific papers they are writing. I developed and taught courses in Communications and Technic

As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor. Listening and watching how people learn, what they need to know and formulate the best way to establish a program to achieve their goals. Each individual possesses their way of learning that may be derived from their environment, culture, family or a combination. Whenever possible I try to use diverse medias to experience topics from various views stressing constant feedback to assure comprehension is taking place. Helping individuals advance to the next step by learning is my passion. My mantra is Inquire, Inspire, Educate. After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English. My experiences were wonderful as I me

I love teaching using examples all around, as well as, painting a word picture which students understand. It is very important for me to know my audience. This helps me in how I should present the information. I started tutoring in 1995. At the present time I am working as a Special Ed. Reading Tutor for the East Hartford School system. I started out tutoring middle school and high school students in basic math, reading, english, and social studies.

I teach to my students so they can learn. Each of my students has a different modality of acquiring and retaining information, so I assess that style and present instruction in a way that is meaningful. My work towards a master's degree in special education highlighted the various ways in which a student gains knowledge. I use that information to engage and educate my students. I began my teaching career in Cooperstown, NY in 2001, as a mid-career professional in search of a meaningful job. Previously, I worked in the entertainment industry. Seeking to make a difference in the lives of our children, I moved to Los Angeles to teach English to the children of Latino immigrants. It was the highlight of my teaching profession. Subsequently, my husband and I relocated to NY state where I have been teaching high school (all subjects) to emotionally challenged adolescent students. I have ta

My interest in academia is rooted in my desire to help children learn and to make that learning lifelong. It is my goal to make learning fun, purposeful, and memorable. I have extensive training in teaching to various learning styles and am committed to student success. My experience is mainly in the private school sector with small class sizes. I have worked in both a self-contained classroom, teaching all major disciplines, as well as served as the Math and Science Teacher for grades 5 through 8. Additionally, I offered afterschool tutoring for students needing further assistance in Math. Currently, I am working as a Special Education Teacher in a private school setting, where I instruct students of varying learning styles and abilities. As I carry out my personal philosophy of education, I seek to make learning lifelong and to encourage children to become contributing and active membe

I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you! I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.
