More About This Tutor...

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable.
I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

While completing my teaching degree I taught for three years with troubled youth. Subjects were regents level and the subject was earth science and algebra or course I as it is called in NY. I have also taught Summer school at the Allen Center in South Kortright which can be a tough crowd to work with. During my undergraduate studies I tutored chemistry and biology. I also taught 8th grade physical science in Prince George Virgina.
In science and math the learner has to practice much like learning to play a musical instrument. It helps if you can bring real world applications into the classroom so it is meaningful to the students otherwise they feel like they are learning something just for the cause of learning.

More About This Tutor...

I am a college graduate seeking employment. I graduated from Herkimer County Community College and SUNYIT in Utica. During that time I spent 3 years tutoring several levels of mathematics and intro to financial accounting for HCCC for 3 years. I went from a student tutor to a part-time tutor in my time there receiving a CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association) certificate for my work and a great amount of experience in that time. It was possibly the most enjoyable experience of my college career.
I was taught to teach by "Socratic Method" which is possibly the best way to teach/tutor. I ask many questions to check the students responsiveness and understanding of key areas of the topics including a reinforcing of the ideas being learned. I cannot count how many students I have had come in frustrated and confused and then quickly answer questions that were simple and built up ... read more

Tutoring is one of my best skills, its just something I do well. I’ve tutored k-12 for Amsterdam, Gloversville and Johnstown in almost any subject, I have a strong math background particularly in algebra. I’m a good writer and do some freelance writing online at times. I have some experience with computer applications such as Photoshop, MS Publisher and PowerPoint. My BA. degree is in economics with a minor in business, I’ve completed some courses in graphic communications and have taken psychology on a graduate level. I’ve also homeschooled my own son for a year. He recently posted a 4.0 GPA at FMCC.
I enjoy tutoring enough to do it for free, which I have done for my friends from time to time. I’m a friendly laid back person who loves to learn and help others learn, particularly in a one on one setting. I’m quite good at breaking a subject down into an understandable step by step ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a pre-k teacher in Albany, NY. I've taken many math courses, and feel extremely comfortable tutoring any level mathematics. I have experience tutoring, teaching, and being in numerous different educational settings. I recently graduated with my Masters in Integration of Technology K-8. I believe technology plays a major role in education and students enjoy learning with the aide of technology. I have tutored a child in my hometown, and believe that one-on-one time for a child is very effective. I also work for the state in the summer through the DEC, and started a junior naturalist program at the site. This program has been very successful and I enjoy every minute I am in the education setting.
First and foremost, I believe teaching is my calling. I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since the 4th grade, and my goals were achieved when I graduated with my MA ... read more

After College I spent 8 years at a College Prep School Schuyleville, NY where I taught NY State Regents Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Algebra. I also taught Earth Science there and was a dorm supervisor. In 1980 I took a job with the NYS Division For Youth as a Math/Science teacher for incarcerated youth at risk in a residential program. I was relocated to a School For Boys in 1983 where I instructed Biology,Earth Science, Living Environment, Gen. Math, Algebra, Geometry, Adv. Algebra, Course I&II Math, Global Studies and GED.
There is no one teaching style that works for all learners. It is important to provide a variety of learning styles to reach all the learners. Both inductive and deductive approches allow for children to discover and be creative which is exciting and rewarding for the learner and the teacher as well. I strive to make the learning experiece a lifetime end ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My first experience tutoring was for Wilson College, in a work study position. I most often tutored in a one to one session helping students with there homework, however before mid terms and finals I would often host large study groups to help students prepare for their tests. In my senior year, I tutored Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Geometry, Discrete Math, and Statistics. After graduation I spent a year tutoring algebra and calculus at Herkimer County Community College. I currently work for Tutor.com, an online service that offers tutoring through a chat and white board program. For Tutor.com I help k-12 and college students with elementary math and algebra.
I feel that a tutors teaching style should differ according to the students needs. Every student learns and processes information differently. The reason I love tutoring so much is because it gives me the o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a teacher for over six years. I have taught and/or tutored subjects ranging from elementary reading and math to high school math and science. I am permanently certified in New York State to teach Biology and general science. In addition, I am pursuing certificates in both physics and math.
I like to combine both direct instruction and hands-on activities when teaching. I believe that allowing students to apply their learning to real-life situations helps them to both find meaning in their learning and attach the learning to a memorable experience. I get really excited about the subjects that I teach and my excitement carries over to my students. And, when students are excited about what they are learning, they want to continue to learn more about that particular subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

I spent nine semester at FMCC in the TRiO Student Support Services program. I began as a part time tutor and after one semester the program director saw it prudent to keep me on. During my time with the program I helped to establish several tutoring programs, one at FM and another at Amsterdam High School for the Upward Bound Grant funded program. In my spare time I do private in home tutoring for students seeking to improve their grades and become adept at taking standardized tests. Currently I am providing mathematics tutoring for the EOP program at Cobleskill Community College. Several nights a week I assist several EOP students at a time in courses like Basic Math, Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, and Pre-Calculus.

I have always loved helping people, especially in the way of education. I believe that everyone learns differently, and therefore strive for diversity in teaching. I will exhaust all possible strategies, incorporating meaning and practice with all dimensions of learning to bring not only an undertanding of content, but an appreciation and means of applying newly gained knowledge in real world situations.
Having completed my B.A. in Mathematics, with a minor in adolescent education, a Computer Science degree, and graduating with a 3.65 GPA, and a 4.0 in content has fueled my success. Combining that with presently finishing my Masters in Teaching with Technology, three years of teaching mathematics and 5 years of tutoring experience, in which I tutored several subjects I feel that I have a lot to add to the success of students. To go along with my education, I have completed several ... read more

I worked a year in the Tutoring Department located at Mohawk Valley Community College. This was an open lab which meant 3-4 students would need help at any one particular time period. Subject Help that I was required for involved Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I & II), Physics, Algebra, Trigonometry and basic electrical courses. Currently I am working as an adjunct at the college teaching an Introductory to Electronics course that involves both lab and lecture time. I have also over the past few years helped out with high school students in preparation of Regents exams.
I enjoy tutoring Math because I feel comfortable in giving students an alternate way of understanding the subject outside of their textbook and teacher. I like to introduce to the student alternate ways of “thinking”. Introducing applications of where math is needed or helpful I believe always helps the student learn ... read more

All children are students; they can learn. The question is how best do they learn? I have used many differing styles from rote memorization through self-paced self-education. I encourage students to see the wonder and "mystery" (there really isn't any mystery) of Math, regardless of the level, in the real world. To that aid, I try to present real world problems at levels the student can understand. For lower level students, I investigate with them the development of the linear equations involved in setting up a relationship between two factors. A higher level student would solve multiple linear equations. A height vs. time linear relationship then can become quadratic, thus involving sports as an application.
My first career was as a Registered Professional Nurse (NYS licensure) for 25 years. During those years, I kept up my interest in various fields of math, such as Abs ... read more

I have a variety of certifications, I have experience with all different grade levels. I have tutored students ranging from high school, to adults who were returning to college. I feel my best strength is my ability to create learning strategies for new concepts. I am very personable, and enjoy helping others.
When ever possible I use a hands on approach then I move into a symbol representastion. I use various strategies for essential vocabulary development including graphic organizers, and pnuemonic devices. I also try to make the content relate to the individual.
