Become a star, through dedication and desire to succeed!!

I love interacting with my students and finding out what drives them and what they feel hinders their success. I choose activities that make learning fun while making the information relevant and easy to understand. I also strive to build up a student's academic confidence. I believe all students can be successful in anything they put their mind to, sometimes it may take longer for the light bulb moment but I am willing to do anything I can to ensure they reach the point where they fully understand what they are learning and can apply their knowledge not just recite it.
I have taught in both suburban schools at the high school level and urban schools at the elementary/middle school level. While teaching I previously have tutored students. My main experience teaching has been various science courses but I have also taught math and reading. I began my education thinking I would b ... read more

My comments on tutoring Biology : I took both Honors Biology in ninth grade and AP Biology in twelfth grade. I received an A in both courses for my hard work and was in the top of my class both years. I mastered the basics from Honors in AP biology. One emphasis my teacher had was to be able to explain the concepts both in writing and verbally so I have become a very effective tutor in this subject area.

Teaching new concepts, practice applying the new material, review, and more practice of the material to solidify the concepts.
I have helped my classmates and have had one official student as of this summer. However, I have learned how to explain concepts so that students dont just memorize, they will gain a thought process and applicable knowledge that will enable them to solve even the most complex problems. Having this mentality of preparation and success will being them to reach their goals.

Experienced and Proactive Educator

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

I have BS degrees in education and industrial engineering. I also have an MS Teachers in Geosciences. I have worked for much of my career as an engineer but have also taught earth science at the high school level for two years in the recent past. I have great enthusiasm for the world we live in and the study of earth science. I look forward to working one on one with students that are having difficulty and helping them make the grade.
I believe a good teacher should have the following attributes. First, they should love their respective subject. Second, they should have real world experience that can tie to the lesson of the day. Third, they should understand the needs and desires of their students. Lastly, they must have a firm but fair method of classroom discipline. With the subject of earth science, I have the passion and experience to make a difference in your student's life.

More About This Tutor...

Most of my career has been spent at IBM, where I built on my Physics background for a broad range of opportunities. I am now seeking to move into a teaching career and plan to start a Masters in Teaching in the Fall of 2009. During my educational development, I taught for three years in undergraduate and graduate school as part of the duties of a teaching Assistant. I have tutored secondary school students for the last 5 years in Math, Physics, and Chemistry.
I enjoy helping students understand the principles they are dealing with, rather than focusing on helping them simply "get the answer" to the problem at hand. My goal is for them to be able to generalize the concept and apply it in different contexts. To develop interest, I seek to discuss related information or similar problems as much as possible. For Physics in particular, this approach is key to providing a sound fou ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Because I enjoy and see the wonder in science and I like to show that to students. If they see a reason to want the knowledge, and see how it can expand their horizons, then they will be more open to learning. A common problem with individuals needing tutoring is that they sometimes do not think they have the "smarts" to learn the subject. My first objective is to show them they have the "stuff" to get it! Then I show them how it can be fun. This needs to be balanced with the practical need to get passing grades and complete the course work. My style is marked with a belief in the student and I encourage them and acknowledge their progress.
I received a technology degree in 1975. Several years later I returned to college to persue a Physics/Mechanical Engineering Degree from SUNY New Paltz and RPI. I was an "A" student in Physics and enjoyed tutoring many classmates. I was a gue ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Biology, I have been very driven to achieve excellence in all areas of my life. I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Psychology. I obtained my degree from a liberal arts university, which allowed me to experience focuses outside of my area of study. In addition, I have excellent grammatical skills due to years of writing research papers, on various topics, and laboratory reports. As a student, I tutored in history, chemistry, mathematics, and psychology.
As someone who has experienced the academic system, I understand that not every student learns the same way. I believe that everyone has the capacity for knowledge; they just have different learning techniques. With this in mind, I know that I can help your child reach academic success. I am patient, understanding, easy going, and willing to help in whatever way is needed. I know t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Chamberlain College of nursing (online). While working up to 4 per diem jobs, I maintained a GPA of 3.67. In 2000 I worked full time and graduated from Maria College with my Associates of Science in Nursing. I graduated with a GPA of 3.37. Since 2002 I have worked with Paramedic students in an ER setting, trained new nursing hires and worked with nursing students. I would be able to help children in grade school with most subjects. I have experience writing in the APA format. I can help with most nursing topics. I have a wide range of interests, just ask, I may be able to help.
I understand first hand that not everyone learns the same way. I was labeled as “not too bright” as a child. The issue wasn’t my intelligence, it was my learning style. When I am working with someone on a new task/lesson, I ... read more

As a recent college graduate, subjects such as chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and geology are still fresh in my mind. I earned a BS in chemistry from Suny Oneonta where I was put into a diverse program. Over the last year I have received my NY Certification in coaching and have been accepted to Suny Cortland for Adolescence Education. In this time I have spread my scientific background to include more than just chemistry, taking additional collegiate credits in science with a focus on human anatomy and physiology.
To understand science all you have to do is look around you and ask questions. Science is a hands on subject, when you can touch something, feel it, watch it shine it will stick in your memory. My style is open and changes with the needs of the student. My goal is for the student to learn the material, as well as take an interest in the subject matter. When a s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored at the college level for three years, mainly because I enjoy doing so. I take pride in helping others understand concepts and do better in school. I'm very easy going during tutoring sessions, and open to students asking questions until they understand the information. I take multiple approaches to explaining concepts if students don't understand them at first. I also have experience working with high school and middle school students, as I have volunteered at such schools, but from a recreational standpoint. Thus, I can relate well with students of all age levels.
I recently graduated from Duke University with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. I excelled in all my courses during my four years there, and as a result I will be attending a very well ranked dental school in the fall. I have a very strong science background, and have taken m ... read more

I have several years of tutoring experience at various settings including urban, suburban, and rural high and middle schools. I have tutored such subjects as French, Spanish, Math, and English. I have also tutored college students in subjects including sociology, psychology, statistics, and others. I have instructed students on various study techniques, writing skills, and note-taking practices. I am currently a licensed social worker with a range of experiences building rapport with young people and collaborating with school staff and officials.
I enjoy tutoring immensely and look forward to beginning again. I like the challenge of engaging and reaching different types of learners. I use my social works skills in tutoring and vice versa. I think these two fields are closely related in the sense that I seek to empower my students as I would my clients.

A Little Bit About Me...

My educational philosophy is based on the fact that individuals learn differently, and this has led to the practice of instructing using alternative methods. Since true learning occurs when students are in a trustworthy environment, I find creativity and flexibility to be an asset in both constructing such an environment and determining how each student will take responsibility for their education. Furthermore, young people must be provided with experiential opportunities that foster the creation of their own connections, and my patience helps me to act as a facilitator, allowing this essential learning process to occur.
