I realize the importance a child’s academic instruction plays in their future. I am well prepared, seeing as I have a B.A in English, to provide my students with a concrete and enticing curriculum. I have witnessed and engaged in remarkable teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of educational settings, in which I learned various ways to create an energizing and productive learning environment that will promote a genuine interest in English and all of its wondrous offerings. All of my principals, department heads, and other members of the faculty have recognized that I have created constructive changes in students’ academic and overall attitudes and performance.

My teaching style is centered around full-filling the needs of student, especially in a tutor setting. Being focused and showing a genuine care and consideration for the student shows them that you not only respect them but want them to be successful. Positive re-inforcement is a main focus of mine and it has proven successful in the previous students I have worked one-on-one with. Also coming prepared, knowing what the student has difficulties with and what the student can catch onto easily is very important in planning what specific areas need to be addressed.

I graduated from the University of Vermont with a BS in Physics. I am currently a graduate student at SUNY Albany in the Physics Ph.D program. I have officially been a physics lab TA for one year, however before that I have helped many friends and acquaintances in physics and general math. I received a 770/800 on the GRE math test, and so far after 1 year of graduate study I have a 4.0 and have passed all of the Ph.D qualifying exams.
Generally in my experience I have a higher level of understanding of basic principles than my peers. This puts me in a position of frequently helping others understand subtleties of the material. There are many different ways of understanding any one concept, it is just a matter of finding one that relates to the particular student's experience or thought process. I simply try to find a way for the student to understand the material, and ... read more

My approach to teaching/tutoring is simple. 1) Make an assessment of the student’s needs. This is a critical part of the methodology. The assessment of needs is based upon the student’s own statement of his abilities as well as empirical evidence of his performance and capabilities. 2) Develop a plan and design goals to meet those needs. Explain to the student the plan and the goals of how we are going to meet his/her needs. 3) Assess performance and adjust the plan and goals as needed. 4) Throughout the process, keep in mind that both the tutor and the student should have an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent student, I am very familiar with what it feels like to be in the position a lot of the students are in right now. At the same time, I understand the best method about how to approach understanding the material in the easiest manner possible. The key is patience and practice. I firmly believe the best way to teach is to attempt many examples, rather than strictly lecture. If a student can see the pattern inherent in many of these problems, it makes understanding the initial concepts much easier. My main goal is not solely to have these students enjoy my tutoring, but to be able to provide a fun atmosphere in which they can effectively learn the material and gain an appreciation and excitement for the subject material.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in challenging a student to do more than they were aware they could do - I have consistently found that individuals give themselves less credit than they deserve. I believe in making a lesson relevant to a student - keep it abstract and it will remain difficult, but bring it home and they will own it. I am excellent at distilling the basic lessons within a topic into take-home messages that give the student more than merely a list to memorize; they get actual working knowledge that will not erode so quickly from memory. I can communicate at many different levels, and am sincere about sharing my love of learning. I believe in the scientific method as a key to intellectual and technological progress, and in the inherent robustness of truth. But the foundation of my philosophy is that each individual, as well as his or her community, is improved through learning. Each individual i ... read more

I believe that every student is different and that tutoring is wonderful because it enables the tutor to get to know each student very well and tailor the instruction to that student’s specific needs.

I have 15 years of experience as an educational program coordinator and have about 18 years of teaching experience with preschoolers, elementary students, teens, college students and adult learners. My expertise includes study habits, English/composition, note taking skills and psychology.
I am very patient and have a gift for breaking concepts and instructions down into smaller manageable steps. My technique is to lead the student to discover the answer rather than "telling" it to them. To help the learner understand and remember, I'll use examples in the form of stories, diagrams or demonstrations.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to highlight a students strengths and build solid study habits and work patterns. For instance, if a student has trouble focusing on his/her work, I try to push them for short periods of intense study, and then reward them with a break. Since my first degree was completed through an integrated, online program, I stress organizational skills. If I feel that a student is having an issue with organization, I explain to them how much it helps me to organize and then we address the issues they might be having.
Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's degree, I have been exposed to a wide variety of curriculum. I excel in teaching the required level of High School and College level mathematics and also have an aptitude for academic, technical, and narrative writing. I have tutored for the past year at the Center for Academic Support and Excellence at SUNY Cobleskill. We provide ... read more
