My comments on tutoring Testing Strategies : I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten.

As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will serve students not only in the classroom, but throughout their lives. In my experience, I have become well-versed in student-centered curriculum development programs, including Understanding by Design, which I have employed extensively in my own lesson planning with gratifying results. I have also been trained in, and have been implementing, the new Common Core Standards for over a year. My student teaching and observations in New York City public schools as well as my current tenured position in an inner city school district have provided me with valuable exposure to diverse classroom atmospheres and have allowed me to develop effective classroom management strategies. This range of both academic and practical classroom experience lends a bala ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is interactive, many of my former students would characterize it as "coaching". I always empower the student to find their way and to have them become "pros" in the learning process. I do not do the work for them, but I show them how they can make their tasks and finishing them more efficient. I am a firm believer in the philosophy that edication is not preparation for life, it is life itself. Experience is key.
Over 13 years of working with students that were not scholars initially. After learning skills to improve their educational/learning experience, they became more scholarly, and enjoyed learning. This is key. They just need to change their perspective, and learn how to make "learning" enjoyable, like it was in kindergarden.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and currently am employed as a 7th grade Language Arts teacher. I have earned two bachelor degrees: a BS in Elementary Education and a BS in Spanish. Although I have taught Spanish K-8, I am not presently certified but am more than able to tutor in this subject. Additionally, within the past two years, I went back to school in order to become Highly Qualified to teach Middle School Language Arts and Mathematics.
I am committed to the individual success of each student. Also, I am easy going, patient, and sincerely enjoy working with children. I can honestly say I love my job! I provide my students many opportunities to grow as learners and individuals, teaching both the curriculum and life skills. I use many different learning approaches, such as kinesthetic, visual, and auditory, in order to make lessons interesting and interactive. I especially enjoy the i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with students and teaching them something new. The best feeling is when someone understands a concept that they didn't before; when something "clicks" for a student, I feel as if my job as a tutor was done. I'm a very determined, persistent, caring, and patient person; all of these characteristics have helped me become a great tutor.
As a current undergraduate chemistry and honors student at Arcadia University, I was recommended to become a tutor from several of my teachers my first year in college. I became a certified CRLA tutor and started tutoring my sophomore year of college; I've been tutoring ever since. I tutor chemistry, biology, math (beginner algebra, statistics, calculus I and II), and calculus based physics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe children of all levels and skills can continually learn and achieve mastery in their course of studies. Every child learns in different modalities so it is my philosophy to adapt my pedagogy for each individual. The one constant that remains between all students is that education is fun. I strive to engage students with humor and real-life experience as to encourage educational excellence. I will work relentlessly to ensure all students achieve and maintain superior grades.
As a graduate from Lebanon Valley College, I was driven to achieve and maintain high levels of education excellence in my field of study.

I previously worked at an alternative school in Philadelphia, PA where I taught seventh grade English to emotionally and mentally disturbed adolescents. Along with being a c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe in developing a rapport with students, treating them as equals in the learning process. I have skills and knowledge that students can access, freely providing them with the information they need to be successful. I am organized, prepared and set clear objectives in terms of what I hope to accomplish. I try to keep a sense of humor and make learning a fun activity.
I went through a rigorous program in English Composition where I received my MA. Prior to that, I had several years of teaching experience as both a high school/middle school English and Social Studies. Later I taught 4 years of College English. Then I spent a couple of more years teaching high school English, in addition to spending one year tutoring students in SAT/Regents instruction. My particular passion is helping students generate, organize, develop, revise and edit their writing.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate from Brigham Young University (BYU) with two degrees, I am motivated to excel in education and/or business. My first degree was a BA in History Teaching. I have taught in the classroom and worked in other education positions for 8 years. Recently, I completed an MBA at the Marriott School of Management on the campus of BYU. I have worked for Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us and I completed a project for Marriot International.
I believe most people can learn if they have a desire. Also, I believe most people can teach something they have mastered if they have a sincere desire. I love to impart what I know to others so they can make progress in their life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am presently working on a masters for elementary and special education. I have earned a bachelor degree in Sociology. I am currently teaching in the Fairview school district. I work as a resource room teacher for third grade and kindergarten. My primary focus is language arts, reading and math. I work closely with the principal, director of special services and students case managers and classroom teachers. I have experience with autistic children and ABA.
As a teacher I have learned that every child has different need. I am able to differentiate my instruction to those needs. My teaching style provides stability and structure. I set attainable goals with my children and don't move on until a concept is mastered. I create an energetic and creative learning environment that brings out the best in my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a second year teacher, I have much experience working with children of various ages. I have taught Kindergarten, Fourth Grade, and I am currently teaching First Grade. I also have had the opportunity to work with students (elementary & secondary) with special needs during my college breaks. Working a wide range of ages of children has helped me to understand their capabilities at a specific age.
I have always treasured working with children. I found my interest when I started babysitting at age 11. I quickly found that my time spent having fun and entertaining children was something I truly enjoyed. As a educator, I understand that all students learn differently. I work at getting to know all my students on a individual level. This helps to keep student’s interests in mind and incorporate it into what we are currently learning. Paying attention to all learning styles in the clas ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy teaching teenagers and young adults technical material. It is very rewarding to see those efforts translate into a successful performance on standardize tests, and to be followed up by a letter of recommendation to a good school. I believe that I can play an important role in convincing these students that they can perform well and be successful, if they are willing to do their part and invest the time and energy into their studies.
My professional experience spans a variety of professional environments, including academia, the private business sector, and mostly recently the public education sector: 1.) 9/2005=>current: 3 years teaching AP/Honors chemistry at Pequannock Township High School Milestones: a.) tenured 3/25/2008 b.)

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life.
I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style. I have taught home instruction and t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am currently a high school English teacher, which requires strong reading, writing, and communication skills. As such, I work with all levels of students, from those with learning disabilities to those in honors classes. This teaching experience has provided me with insights into how students learn and the best approaches to help them grasp difficult concepts. I also have had the unique experience of learning Spanish throughout high school and college. In fact, as a study abroad participant, I realized how difficult it is to learn a new language, which is a lesson I keep in mind during my teaching and tutoring work. I have tutored all levels of English and Spanish language students and have extensive experience working with various age groups.
Teaching is not my job; it is my passion. I frequently work as a tutor during the school year and during my summers because I love h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have written curricula and taught/tutored students of all ages and backgrounds for twenty-five years. As an English high school teacher in Harlem, NYC, I taught students how to write essays, concentrating on the research paper. I have tutored ESL. I have taught verbal SAT prep. I taught computer software and administration (building such departments) for many years at some of the largest international law firms in the world.
I am patient, confident and intent on building confidence. We all have the ability to learn; that some subjects come easier to others has nothing to do with our individual abilities. When teaching essay writing, the most difficulty students have is forming a narrow thesis statement. Their next challenge is to write 3 or 4 statements following their thesis, which is what they will prove in essay form. I use simplicity in approach. I build confidence. I also us ... read more

I believe all students will learn successfully, given the appropriate tools. I place great emphasis in finding their individual learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses. This helps me build an individualized program to target their specific needs and to enhance their strengths. I like to challenge the students to always reach higher and to learn in a meaningful and enjoyable manner.
As a reading specialist in New York for the last 4 years and a tutor for 10+ years, I have enjoyed teaching students and leading them to success. Continually retooling myself professionally has kept me motivated to learn new techniques and strategies to help students achieve their goals. Because of my many encounters with struggling learners, I understand the academic and social demands on kids. When frustrations arise in school, specialized tutoring can attend to the children's needs and alle ... read more
