A Little Bit About Me...

A mix of hands on and hands off learning. Highly fond of the socratic method of teaching by guiding the pupil in the direction they need to go and letting them discover the solution organically. Direction and help are given directly when needed.
I have a degree in English an Communications which makes me proficient in understanding literature, and how it is received by the public. I was a writing tutor for three years in college tutoring people of many different backgrounds, many of which achieved success to a point of no longer needing to be tutored.

Most importantly writing is not just something thatI do, it’s who I am. So if you or your child need help with becoming a better writer (everything from spelling to grammar, composition and punctuation,) improving communication skills, or sharpening public speaking and public relations abilities, I can help!

Outgoing certified teacher elementary/special education B-6

My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills. Consult teaching in done during whole group instruction and two teachers team up to help advance stuggeling learners or learners with disabilities. I enjoy my work and love to see the results of the students I work wit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have completed my Master's at SUNY Fredonia in Literacy I: Birth to Grade 6. I have been a substitute teacher in the past for one year. I taught grades Pre-K to Grade 12. At this time I am a full-time Pre-Kindergarten teacher at a Catholic school in Dunkirk, NY. I have experience tutoring children both through school districts and through field placements through SUNY Fredonia.
Children are all capable of learning. It is important to recognize that each child is different. Children learn at their own pace. Hands-on activities are a great way to help children apply information that they have learned. I am a dedicated educator that strives to help all children succeed.

I've always been driven to help others understand subjects on a deep level. When I was in high school, I taught my brother basic algebra. (He was ten years old at the time.) As the editor of a high IQ society's official publication, I work with people to help their submissions meet their full potential. My undergraduate degree is in economics, and my graduate degree is an MBA with a concentration in finance. I have a very solid understanding of statistics; enough so to allow me to identify and correct errors on two separate professors' answer keys. I'm also strong in finance, accounting, general business, and general written communication.
The single most important thing about being a teacher or mentor is to be respectful, socially aware, and sensitive. Okay, that's three things, but they kind of go together. The second most important thing about being a mentor is to creat ... read more

I have always had a passion for education, eagerly obtaining my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in education-related fields immediately out of high school. I have worked within school districts as a student teacher, substitute teacher and long-term/permanent substitute teacher for a combined total of over 3 years. My favorite part about teaching is working one on one with students and watching their skills and motivation progress. My most recent experiences include two long-term positions as an Eleventh Grade English Substitute (including preparing students for the ELA Regents Exam), a year-long position as a ninth grade English teacher and I currently teach English Composition at a local Community College.
I believe that education is more a process than a product. My role as teacher/tutor is one of the lifelong learner drawn to guide others to ask questions rather than merely ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an Academic All-American and SUNY Chancellor Award winner, I've always valued education. I tutored writing and englisg-related topics in college. I also was a state certified hunter safety instructor for two years. I spent 8 years teaching life and social skills to developmentally disabled adults and even was able to get one to craft his own poetry,which we both found very rewarding.
I believe the best teaching involves personal attention to that in which the student's interests lie. Helping a student to see how a topic can have impact on his life will make the course relevent and help engage the youngster. I also believe in encouragement at each step and making a "big deal" about each success. I see myself as a mentor who wants the next generation to be better than my generation - pay it forward.

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy is that education is power. Knowledge is our greatest defense and our greatest weapon. Through knowledge we gain experience, which enriches our competence, which protests the ills of society, which leads to a social justice, and most important, liberty. Learning is an activity that we should never stop, and if we do, we begin to die. I believe all children can learn given the appropriate avenues to success. Part of our job is to find those avenues and encourage our students to use them.
I have been substitute teaching for 5 years. Within that time I decided that teaching was for me and went on to get my degree and certificate to teach. I have completed several long-term substitute teaching positions, picking up where a teacher left off, often times unexpectedly. I have taught classes in the elementary, middle and high school.

As a tutor, my job is to take students from where they are to where they need to be. I can do this successfully for several reasons. First, I am patient. Often student frustration stems from classes proceeding too fast, and teachers lacking time to help slower learners. By patiently working with a student, I can teach at a pace that works best for them, overcoming much discouragement that comes from falling behind. Second, I am very flexible in my teaching methods. If a student is struggling, I am committed to trying different approaches until the student has mastered the concept. Finally, and just as importantly, I am friendly, easygoing, and have a sense of humor. Putting students at ease makes learning easier and more fun for everyone.
Having recently completed my doctoral degree, I have a good grasp of what it takes to be successful academically. My degree required extensive t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When working towards my Bachelor's I was able to achieve a dual BS in Accounting and Business Management. After working a few years, I decided to go into teaching. While doing this, I was able to assimilate my real life working experience, into the classroom. I have since obtained a second certification in Special Education. This was after obtaining my Master's in 2007. I believe the combination of these teaching areas, would allow me to help those students, who need different areas of help.
My teaching style is one that allows the students to ask any pertinent question about the subject at hand. By allowing the students to do this, it allows me to see what might be giving them a hard time with the learning. Thus, I would be able to ask pertinent questions, that will allow me to show different ways around the troublesome areas, while giving the students a new way to learn th ... read more
