Reading Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Buffalo, NY

I received my B.A. in humanities with a minor in Spanish from Buffalo State College in 2009. I studied English, Philosophy and Spanish mostly. I have a lot of experience in writing, critical analysis of literature and basic Spanish. I also hold a TESOL certification from Oxford Seminars. A TESOL certification is an international certification which certifies you to teach English as a second or other language. I have over a year in experience teaching ESL both here in the United States and in South America. I believe I have a good understanding of the technicalities of the English Language and would be ideal for a student struggling with grammar and writing. Laid back, approachable with a sense of humor.

I have more than nine years of dependable skilled experience working with all types of children with special needs. Throughout the nine years of my teaching career, I have taught both elementary and secondary students. I have been noticed as a teacher whom has the ability to work with children of various intellectual, behavioral and physical challenges. I am also hands-on when it comes to developing my students individualized educational programs and communicating with home. I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned.

Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

Recently graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in English (creative writing) and film. Enjoy teaching students and assisting in their development academically through hands on interaction. Worked as a tutor for two years in high school and one in college within Americore’s CYFC program, with a cumulative focus on reading, grammar, and comprehension. The education of children is of paramount interest to me, and during my work as a tutor at the Audubon School in South Central, Los Angeles, I realized the importance of making education personal. Many students do not have access to the one on one aspect of instruction that can prove paramount to the development of individuated talents. For this reason, I consider the position of tutor to be of utmost importance. My love for art, and my compassion for learning, comes across in the way I work and the way I te

I've been writing for a while. I made my own short film in 8th grade. I wrote, directed, acted, filmed, and edited the short film I made. I have also written several poems and stories that are original ideas. I'm not afraid to stand out or take chances. The most important thing about being a writer and a person is to take a chance.

I am a firm believer in relating education to the real world. This philosophy transcends into my teaching style. I make it a mission to ensure my students understand what they're learning rather than simply memorizing it to pass a test. I want my students to not only learn the subject matter but develop a fundamental understanding of what it takes to succeed in school, college, and the real world. As a recent grad, there are so many lessons I have learned throughout my academic and early professional career that I wished someone had taught me. I will do my best to make sure my students learn those lessons well in advance of actually needing them. All in all, I will help my students develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. I have 8 year of professional experience in public practice, corporate accounting, and consulting. I have done everything from external and

As someone who enjoys reading as a hobby, I am dedicated to sharing those literary worlds with my students and peers. I am someone who understands that not all children learn effectively the same way. I am someone who will sit down with my student and ask them questions regarding how they learn and how they do not learn. Sometimes a student will not know how they learn effectively but they will know what does not work for them. From there I try to tailor a program to suit that student. As a tutor you are able to have that one on one time and you can design your instructions for a specific student therefore making your teaching more effective. While pursuing a double degree from the University at Buffalo and working part-time, I worked in peer tutoring groups for Latin and writing. I have experience proof reading papers and correcting grammar. My four semesters of college Latin have given
