A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I believe children learn in different ways. It is incumbent on the teacher to mold his/her skills to the child's natural way of learning. I am available to help your child find academic success. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery where the child finds the answer. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a bachelor degree in Management and an MBA in Finance, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math. In addition, I have learned ... read more

Patience. I would have to say, I would have to learn the needs of the student, what they already know and don't know, and use what they know to help them understand what they don't know. I would be fairly straightforward I guess. Helping someone understand a certain math concept would make me feel like a better person too, because when I finally grasped something like that, I remember how good a feeling it was to do so. I feel like I can definitely make a difference.
Throughout college and high school, I have always had the ability and desire to succeed. My GPA in high school was above a 4.0 due to the extensive Advanced Placement courses. I consider my area of expertise to be in math, including all sequential high school math courses, through calculus. I received a 740 on the Math section of the SAT. I have since obtained an BA in Humanities, in which I learned about the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

One of the things I take pride in is my ability to adapt to the many different learning styles of students. I believe strongly in educating the whole child and making his or her learning relevant to increase interest and retention levels. I also believe firmly that as educators, it is our job to help students realize the importance of education and achieving one's personal best, whatever that may be. I am professional, courteous and respectful, and over the years, I have earned the reputation for being able to connect with my students and their parents, which helps all of us achieve success during tutoring sessions.
As a member of the Fellows in Teaching program at Columbia University's Teachers College, I was exposed to some of the most renowned educators in the field and had the opportunity to engage in real world experience. I tutored students in a one-on-one setting and taught ... read more

I am a young engineer and Air Force officer highly motivated by the prospect of seeing others succeed. I have a B.S. in Industrial and Management Engineering which has given me ample experience in mathematics, most notably statistics, and the sciences. I have participated in a number of research projects where I have been given the opportunity to use what I’ve learned in practical applications. In addition to math and science, I am experienced in report writing and have excellent grammatical skills. I have two years experience tutoring older students math-related classes, and eight years experience tutoring children as young as eight in the violin and viola, both of which I am proficient in.
Math and science did not always come easy to me as a student, so I know how frustrating it can be for someone to struggle in school. As a tutor, I work hard to give my students the confide ... read more

I am a professional with 16 years experience managing the accounting records and training staff of both small and large companies.

I completed a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management a dozen years later.

I also earned 113 credits towards a Liberal Arts Degree at Queens College right out of High School. I majored in English Literature and minored in Education.

I have extensive experience training students on computer applications. My first experience was in 1993 while attending college up in Albany. I trained users on MS Office after they converted from DOS based applications to Windows based applications. I also consulted in the user room at SUNY Albany. Over the years I have trained professionals on HR Systems applications, and also have trained some professionals on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications.
I have experience teaching in a group setting and one-on-one. I am very comfortable presenting and have done so both in a training and non-training environment. My minor in communications was mostly presentations, and therefore I am very comfortable speaking in front of a group of people. I try to be as interactive as possible. I believe that hands-on experience is the best way to learn an application.

My personal style of teaching and view of my role as a teacher is that I am a guide who enables the student to develop his/her own skills. I provide the tools with which the student learns. It is my role to continually evaluate where the student is and to adjust my practices so that I can better meet the needs of the particular individual.I aim to provide concrete tools with which the student can learn and also to utilize the student's own strengths in the learning process. Every student learns in his own way. It is my role to find the best way for the student to learn and to actually teach the student how to learn most effectively.

I believe that since all children learn in different ways, when you can't get in the "front door", or through normal teaching methods, you must " go around to the back door" and try something else. I think that phonics are a neglected reading tool and should be employed if the child is receptive.Learning styles must be accounted for, and employment of differing environments and comfortable surroundings while learning also help students perform at their best.I am very patient with students and will offer positive reinforcement along the way to becoming a great independent learner.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information.
My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language a ... read more

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.
I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through ef ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

To teach is to tie refinement of respect, unity of thoughts, sentimental attachment and truth by trusting each and every approach for coaching and highlighting the innovative ideas and inventions of students by your own creative and thought-provoking guidelines. I feel that students should be involved with their positive learning environment. In the classroom itself, the teacher needs to make the best utilization of the time allowed and must transmit the lesson to the students in the most palatable way. I want to teach and train the students. I would like to built in them the character which enables them to run the country progressively.
