I am a highly educated, richly experienced, energetic tutor.

When helping a child, I show interest in the child and the child's immediate situation. I express warmth, responsiveness and appreciation. I nicely encourage a child for a given activity or one that I create. I am always upbeat, positive, and enthusiastic In the educational process, I form an idea of what the student is ready to learn, and form an idea of a learning task (discussion or practice) and of how I might introduce it. I am open to suggestions from the learner for this (or at any moment). Learning should be enjoyable.If a task proves not to be intrinsically stimulating, I present accomplishing it as a challenge. I praise efforts and seek to minimize frustration--I have a technique for this, to be used when necessary. Finally, the majority of time during any session is time during which the student is learning, with a minimum of my instructing.

Assistant Teacher; Dedicated and Supportive Tutor

Throughout my undergraduate career, I have tutored fellow students in my major, designing tools to help them succeed on exams and assignments. In addition, students taking various courses have asked me to edit their papers and guide their studying. Outside the realm of college, I have previously been an assistant teacher for early intervention and preschool children. I am currently an assistant teacher for elementary school students. I enjoy working with people, and I enjoy using my strong academic abilities to help others succeed in school. I consider myself a friendly and down-to-earth person, eager to give over my positivity, dedication and support to those that I work with. I look forward to giving over these ideals to my future students.

Environmental Journalist to help with reading and writing

I am an environmental reporter based in New York. My articles have appeared in New Scientist, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Popular Science, OnEarth Magazine and Smart Planet. I was also a copy editor with a large publishing house for two years where I used my spelling and grammar skills to fact check and proof read manuscripts. I love to travel and learn about people and the world and spent two years living in Paris, France where I was an English tutor to French children and adults. I also co-host a podcast about fairy tales called Tabled Fables. Each month we discuss a different tale to find out what the story means, how it's evolved and what makes it stick.
I like to help people learn about English by exploring their interests. For example, if you are a fan of economics we can read The Economist and discuss world politics. If you prefer to talk about animals we can crea ... read more

American History is one of my top subjects!

Patience is a true virtue! When teaching children, patience has to be presence. I have learned through my experience, a calm environment with a patience and observant teacher who is willing to try to understand how the child learns, goes a long way because all children are not the same; therefore, they do not learn in the same manner.
Hello All, I am currently a 3rd grade teacher in a ICT classroom in Brooklyn,NY. I truly enjoy educating children and helping them develop a greater understanding of different concepts. I am into my 4th year of teaching. I am highly dedicated and motivated teacher who is willingly to go above and beyond to help children succeed.

My comments on tutoring American History : My teacher training focused on U.S./American History. I have tutored middle school students, Regents students and AP students in U.S. History.

Students being tutored one-on-one deserve lessons customized to their learning style. My sessions often incorporate some writing and topic discussion along with activities tailored to the student's interests, skill development needs and preferences.
This is my fourth year tutoring middle and high school students in History and Government. I also have professional classroom teaching experience and volunteer elementary school teaching experience. My students, primarily Global History, World History and European History students, have raised their class grades, passed the Regents exam by many points and earned high scores on the AP. I specialize in both content acquisition and essay writing skills. Some students have worked with me for half a year or more, others for a month or two before cumulative exams.

A highly compassionate and committed educator.

Ever since I began working in NYC public schools seven years ago as a licensed Paraprofessional, I became passionate about teaching while continuously learning and developing my methods of instruction working with multi-culturally diverse students with various needs. After recently graduating this year with my master’s degree in dual certification for regular and special education from Touro College, I became certified to teach grades 1-6 in NYC. As a Paraprofessional, theater instructor, choreographer, and student teacher I efficiently utilized Common Core standards while also understanding the commitment and dedication of integrated co-teaching and the importance of communication with my administration.

I prefer to allow the student to attempt to find answers on their own first, and only supply help when a student is clearly struggling to find the answer. I work through each lesson or homework assignment step-by-step with the student, making sure they understand each part before moving on.
Currently a college senior, will be graduating with a B.A. in English in three weeks. Scored a 5 on 5 out of 7 AP classes taken in high school, 2030 on SAT. Currently tutoring one student in reading comprehension and one in biology, both are improving. Willing to work with all sorts of learners, flexible schedule.
