Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Burt, NY

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

I am a recent college graduate from a SUNY college in New York State.

I am a relaxed teacher who believes that every student learns differently and the tutor needs to deliver assistance in a way that makes sense to the student. I like to make learning fun and will often inject humor into the lesson. I am also a storyteller by personality, and will often make connections to the material for students to help the learing have more meaning. I am certified K-12 in ESL and childhood education 1-6 certification, along with training in gifted education. However, over the years I have worked with all ages including adults in paid and voluntary positions. As an ESL teacher, I have worked teaching and guiding children and their parents.

I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging. I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!

My goal in life is to be a successful teacher to many students. I have already began this exciting journey by volunteering in classrooms starting at the age of fourteen; now I am teaching. My teaching philosophy includes all students; all students can learn. It is the teacher's job to find out what teaching strategy will work best with each student. All students can strive, however, some students may learn material in a different method. Students need to be in a positive, conducive learning environment that best suits them so that ative learning will take place. Students need to have experiences throughout their learning career, it is my job as a teacher to provide this for students. Part of my philosophy as a teacher, is that students need to respect the teacher, yet teachers also need to respect their students so that a positive, enriching learning environment can occur.

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

During the last 26 years, I have had full responsibility as a classroom teacher in grades 2, 3 and 4. I have written and implemented lesson plans in all elementary subject areas, assessed students closely, recorded their assessments on report cards and satisfactorily conferenced with parents whenever the need. My philosophy has always been that all children can learn when you are able to find the learning style they are most comfortable and successful with. These include visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic. Once the learning style of a child is established, I can adapt my teaching methods accordingly to achieve given goals. I consider myself a kind, understanding, patient professional with an excellent work ethic, who is committed to helping children with their educational success.

I am a firm believer in everyone having their own learning style. I had to figure this myself doing assessments of students during the years of tutoring, as well as being a student.

I found a lot of satisfaction in tutoring in college and felt that I was an effective teacher. My students did well in courses that they had been struggling to pass. I use a step-by-step approach starting with what the student knows and connect to everyday life experiences. This approach works particularly well in subjects like physics or chemistry. While a good test score is the goal, I may teach fundamentals so the student understands the subject. This facilitates learning and memorization. I graduated cum laude from D'Youville College with a BS degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. At D’Youville in 2001-2003 I tutored advanced sciences. The most complex course was Gross Anatomy in which I worked with students on both coursework and laboratory dissection. I also tutored physics and biological chemistry, my area of particular interest. I have approximately four years of

As a UB graduate, I was very driven to learn the most I could in the areas of humanities and social sciences. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in History and BA in Political Science. With history, I wrote many essays that required me to decipher large amounts of kryptic writing aging back from thousands of millenia ago to present day. In Political Science I have learned how to collect data, use deductive logic, and apply statistics in any situation on will. During the last year I have taught special education students at various schools at all grade level from k-12. Reading and writing were the main focus areas of all of my teaching. I love trying to help children gain knowledge. I believe anyone is capable of learning something new no matter how old they are and that patience and the use of deductive knowledge are they key's to having someone develop their knowledge.
