More About This Tutor...

I am a friendly, out going person who is very invested in my students work. I believe that to write well one must have a relationship with the content that matters to him or her. I enjoy learning about a person and taking on a mentorship role as well as a direct and focused editing role.
I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring students in creative writing and composition arenas. As lead teaching assistant for entry-level undergraduate Creative Writing courses at Oberlin College, I facilitated small group workshops, provided students with feedback on their writing, and wrote lesson plans designed to help each individual improve technically as a writer. I met weekly with individual students to provide stream-lined, individualized feedback. Last summer I worked in Harare, Zimbabwe as a teacher of Creative Writing. I lead workshops in poetry and prose. I have experience edit ... read more

As an elementary teacher specializing in Literacy Education, I feel that reading and writing are the keys to a student's success in all content areas. Reading provides children access to information and experiences they would not otherwise come in contact with. Reading a wide variety of materials broadens their philosophy of the world, thereby developing their ability to read and comprehend even more advanced materials. I assess where a child's reading difficulties are and set out to help them build the necessary skills to overcome them, while developing a love of reading. Correcting reading problems will have a positive affect on all content areas.
After completing my Master of Science degree in Literacy Education, I went on to work as a Reading Specialist in New York City. I gained extensive experience in working with children with a wide variety of reading difficulties. I was a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I took high school and college seriously. After college I worked for several years before attending law school. After law school I decided to combine my legal experience with hands-on medical skills, and I enrolled in a Registered Nurse program at SUNY Delhi, which I will complete next May. This summer is a lull before completing my education and embarking on a medical administration career.
I believe effective learning can occur in a 1-on-1 tutoring situation when the tutor and the student can communicate well. Tone, mood, and setting all come into play. A tutor who is relaxed, cheerful, encouraging, and resolutely intelligent is more likely to be approachable and someone the student will collaborate with successfully. I believe in active listening and working together to establish a method of studying.

I am a pursuer of hard work and performance. I have a double major and a singular bachelor degrees and a master's in literacy as language is very important to me. I have taught and worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system for the last 25 years. I also play the piano, keyboard and organ. I have accompanied students privately on in groups as well. In my language education jobs, I have also taught culture of the English, French and Spanish language groups(in English).
I enjoy teaching and believe that all students can learn. There are many ways to interest them; and with technology, all students will research and work with language and culture. I have had great success with students on a one-to-one basis. In language learning, some students have needed out-of-class time to work privately with me. I have also advised students and interested them in doing pr ... read more

As a political science and social policy major I have been required to read, research and write collegiate level papers. I strive for excellence in my writing and ability to help others improve their writing skills. As a health educator, I did lesson planning, creative activities and group facilitation.

My love for teaching and working with children has allowed me to learn a variety of ways to help my students learn. Through the use of audio, visual and tactile manipulatives, my students have had some very exciting experiences and have succeeded in meeting the objectives set for them. I do believe in setting high expectations for each child and my experience has shown me that they rise to the occasion. My decision to become a pedagogue was due to the fact that I had wonderful teachers in my life who were supportive, kind and thoughtful. They inspired me to want to learn more and want to give more. I strive to make a difference in the life of my students also.

Through my own academic experience, I have a well-developed understanding of the skills and techniques necessary to achieve a high level of scholastic excellence.

I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which transfer into expertise in geometry, and of course 20 years of experience as a counselor.
I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my years as a tutor, I have come to believe in the ability of each student to improve his or her writing skills. I have worked with students at many levels of comprehension and aptitude, including ESL students, and I have witnessed the confidence that grows through contact with a kind and effective tutor. I have become skilled in figuring out each student's needs--are they nervous about revision? Intimidated by grammar? Stuck in the brainstorming process? I have the tools to tackle any writing problem, and can think on my feet for that one solution that will make the difference. There's nothing better than seeing a change come over a student's face when a breakthrough has occurred or an idea has come to life between the two of us.

I am an energetic, enthusiastic teacher who loves to teach children and adults of all ages. I enjoy challenging my students with fun projects and activities that get creative juices flowing and make learning fun!
As a "late in life" graduate of Fordham University, I received permanent Teaching Certification and continued to teach in a public school district for 5 years. I was then offered an amazing opportunity to bring a non-profit pre-school and daycare back to fruition which I accomplished in under a year. Having left the pre-school after an ownership change, I have found myself desiring to go back to my real passion - teaching. I also have over 20 years of Business and marketing experience working as a Communications and marketing Director in Mid-town Manhattan.

More About This Tutor...

I am a trained Science Teacher specializing in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have over twelve years of High School teaching experience where I prepared students for external exams in Chemistry, Physics and Biology in my native country of Jamaica. The success rate was over 90%. I have tutored both adults (preparing for their GED and LPN exams in Math and English) and young adults (preparing for college exams) during the last four years.
Teaching is a skill that I have mastered and I have been successful at finding a fun way of getting students to learn. I like to introduce activities that are practical to the subject so the student understands the concept and therefore have a better understanding of the topic being covered. I am available to help anyone who needs help in finding academic success. I am patient, considerate and will use all available resources to get the stu ... read more
