I love to teach children and have fun at the same time. I love to incoprate games, i.e. jeopordy, or watch various DVD's on the subject that I am tutoring. I also realaize that not every student leanrs the same, what may work for one may not work for another. I am a senior at the State University at Albany, where I am majoring in History.

Teaching is, for me, both a passion and a process; passion, in that I invest myself totally into providing the learner a quality educational experience, and process, as I stress to them that learning has no shelf-life, no "use by"date.I see my role as that of an enabler, helping your child to have the greatest possible success. One thing I've told every student I've worked with is,"I won't quit on you, and I won't let you quit on yourself".I feel that accountability is a key factor to academic success. Upon graduating from Northwestern College, I felt compelled to do more than make a difference as an educator; I wanted to be the difference for students I'd work with! I have a Bachelor's degree in education, and am certified by New York State as a Teacher Assistant. I have tutored students in Social Studies and English(literature, particularly), and have given bass lessons to students, bo

I am a strong believer in mastering a topic as opposed to spitting out the correct response. I also believe in finding one’s main learning style and teaching to it, not that of the masses. The classroom environment seeks to teach the most people the most knowledge in a single shot. Tutoring should seek to teach an individual to their greatest potential. I strongly believe that identifying whether someone learns best by seeing, hearing or doing something and delivering the knowledge in that way helps them to better comprehend what they’re doing and be able to repeat it, no matter the scenario they’re presented with. That is, they don’t just learn to spit the answer out. They learn to understand and master the task itself. I have worked with Middle School age youth for almost a decade. I am Site Coordinator at an after school program & run a science focused club there. I also occasionally

I am currently a practicing attorney in Albany, New York, and I plan to go back to school to obtain my Ph.D in Public Administration and Policy. In addition to my JD, I also possess a BA in both Political Science and Spanish. During the last nine years, I have tutored students in a number of subjects, including government, social studies, Spanish, English, and research and writing. Also, I have been a violinist for the past 20 years, and would be more than happy to provide lessons. Lastly, I am also currently a coach of a under-19 youth rugby team in the capital region. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, and I like to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I am a patient and easy going person, and I am able to adapt well to an individual's particular style of learning. I fully understand and appreciate the importance of teaching through discovery, and I use a combination of teacher-centered
