Stacey G. - Lansing, NY 14882 (34.8 mi) - Reading Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I am a patient teacher not rushing the students to complete the task so we can quickly move onto the next skill. I would rather take the time and know the student is comfortable with a concept before adding new information. I use a variety of strategies from flashcards to mnemonic techniques to worksheets to hands-on activities, basically whatever will help the student become successful. Throughout my teaching career I have had the opportunity to teach a diverse group of students from K-12 in a core subject areas. I taught kindergarten for three years. I have also taught math and reading in an online classroom. Currently I substitute teach in all subject areas. I believe all these experiences have helped make me a dedicated, flexible, and nurturing educator.

I described most of that in the above category. I can only add that I taught one-on-one, coached and conducted small ensembles, worked with groups of 100+ as a clinician or guest artist. I enjoyed all these levels of contact. I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues. As a private teacher meeting individually with a student for an hour each week, I became the main academic and personal adviser for them. I found all of

Darlene S - Corning, NY 14830 (0.6 mi) - Reading Tutor - $50.00/hr.
A requirement for completion of my Education degree was to student teach for one semester. I completed my student teaching at both a high school and a middle school. During that time, I also provided some one-on-one help for students who were struggling in their every day classroom assignments. As a graduate with a degree in Adolescence English Education, I am familiar with homework assignments and what students need in order to be successful ELA learners. I believe that students learn best when they are able to use a variety of I believe it is necessary to access prior learning in order to know where to begin the learning process. Then I believe it is necessary for students to participate in both guided practice as well as independent practice in order to assess whether or not they have a working knowledge of the material that is being taught. I also believe in using both formative

Melinda P - Corning, NY 14830 (1.3 mi) - Reading Tutor - $52.50/hr.
All children are diverse learners. All children learn differently, and no two are alike. Good instruction includes fitting the lesson according to the learner. Tutoring a child who is a book learner is different than a child who needs visuals or manipulatives. Some children need academics tied into real life experiences. My teaching style includes designing instruction according to individual student needs in order to enhance their learning. I am a patient teacher and believe that all children are capable of great success if given the right tools and formatted instruction. As a certified teacher I taught for 3 years in inner city Phoenix. I worked with diverse cultures needing strong literary support. A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts for 8-12

Frances A - Painted Post, NY 14870 (2.1 mi) - Reading Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I try to work at a pace that is comfortable for the student and also meets the academic requirements for their program. I have a lot of patience and encourage students to try even when they are not familiar or comfortable with a subject. The first step is always the hardest. I believe anyone can learn and feel no one is too old to go back to school. Learning and education should be encouraged no matter what stage of life we are at. I earned Associate’s degrees in Liberal Arts and Accounting, as well as a Certificate in Office Technology. I had the highest GPA for both the Certificate and the AS in Accounting at the same time. I then achieved my Bachelor’s of Science in Accounting from Excelsior College in 1996. I have worked in the Accounting field for over 25 years, moving up from an Accounting clerk to Staff Accountant to my current position as Controller in a small insurance ag

I love to work with children and excel at discovering what works best with each child. I have the ability to connect with children and make them feel at ease. This sets the stage for easier learning and less frustration. I not only make the students comfortable but their parents as well. Oftentimes, someone who is not related can teach easier than someone close to the family As a mother of three children as well as a graduate of the New York State University school system, I am an avid reader and a natural proof reader. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and have attended classes in Elementary Education toward a Master's Degree.

Helen C - Pine City, NY 14871 (8.6 mi) - Reading Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have recently

Lia N - Horseheads, NY 14845 (11.6 mi) - Reading Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I believe that encouraging, awakening curiosity and exploring all avenues of learning through hands on and academic exploration are the best tools for teaching. Finding a child’s learning style is crucial in order to address their academic needs. I am capable of providing the tools a child needs whether it is visual, verbal, kinetic, and intrapersonal or any other learning style. I feel it is very important to teach foundations and mastery especially in math and reading. With these fundamentals in place, education is truly attainable for any child. Teaching is my passion. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art History with a second major in Italian and a Masters in Elementary Education with certification. These areas of study coupled with my extensive work background enable me to present challenged learners with a variety of solutions for academic struggles. I have spent many yea

Nancy S - Elmira, NY 14904 (11.9 mi) - Reading Tutor - $45.50/hr.
As I stated above, I am really comfortable working one-on-one with students. I feel that we can get to know each other, I can learn the way the student best learns, and where his problems lie. I feel the student can develop trust and confidence both in me and himself in this type of situation which may help to carry over into a regular classroom. It is important to learn how the student best comprehends, and proceed from there. I graduated from Mansfield University with a BS degree in Elementary Education with honors. I taught a temporary position in third grade (all subject areas), then was asked by the school superintendent to substitute teach in Junior and Senior High School, and Special Education classes, which I did for four more years before I had to move out-of-state for my ex-husband's job. I just spent the last 15 years working for the NYS Dept. of Corrections in many areas

Joshua A - Elmira, NY 14904 (13 mi) - Reading Tutor - $46.50/hr.
My teaching style is to draw connections to what the students are trying to learn with what is happening today that they might be interested. When I am able I like to show them where the event happened [if it is history] so that the student does not just hear names and dates but can picture it in their head. As someone who loves history I discovered my passion for helping others understand history. Because of this love I pursued a degree in museum studies. I have over 6 years experience in volunteering my time at history museums in order to educate today's youth about the past.

Mark M - Watkins Glen, NY 14891 (16.1 mi) - Reading Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I believe that education should present as much material to the student as possible, which includes using various textbooks, lecture, and inquiry. After that, it will be up to the student to assess and construct the information given in order to form his/her own opinion about the subject matter. True education and learning is ownership of the subject matter which comes through effort and discipline and a little bit of guidance. Since April 2007, I have been a substitute teacher at both the Watkins Glen High School and Middle School. Frequent subjects include English, Psychology, and Physical Education. I belong to a writers group which meets at the local library every first and third monday. I belong to a chess club that meets at a coffee shop every Thursday. I also assistant coach varsity and college soccer during the spring and fall seasons.
