Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cowlesville, NY

I have worked in several school districts working with a wide range of students who have very different learning style. I am currently substituting in school districts which allows me to have a general idea on what students are currently working on. I have worked in Buffalo school, Amherst, Ken-ton and Maryvale. I have also planned and implemented lessons to meet the needs of all students in the classrooms that I have taught. I strive to make sure that all of the students I work with are successful.

I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned. Reading Comprehension & Fluency Strategies: Fluency- 1. Focus on phonemic and alphabetic awareness 2. Teaching the meaning of learning simple to complex words 3. Give strategies to increase the speed of students reading aloud Comprehension- I focus on the five close reading strategies that support Common Core learning. 1. Number the paragraphs that you will be reading 2. Chunk the text 3. Underline and circle with a purpose 4. Write in the margin what each paragraph is saying 5. Take a deeper look into w

While pursuing a double degree from the University at Buffalo and working part-time, I worked in peer tutoring groups for Latin and writing. I have experience proof reading papers and correcting grammar. My four semesters of college Latin have given me a understanding of English language origins and modern usages. Latin also helps me to use punctuation and grammar correctly and effectively. I am well versed in aspects of earth science and geology due to my interest in geology at the University at Buffalo. While there I completed two full semesters of geology lab and lecture. I am someone who understands that not all children learn effectively the same way. I am someone who will sit down with my student and ask them questions regarding how they learn and how they do not learn. Sometimes a student will not know how they learn effectively but they will know what does not work for them. From

Tutored General Chemistry 1, General Chemistry 2, Organic Chemistry 1, Organic Chemistry 2 and Calculus 1. Every student I have consistently tutored over the years, there has been improvement in scores. As long as I have the material that is needed for tutoring prior to the tutor session, the session should be very effective in improving grades and most importantly understanding. I am a hands on teacher. I like to get to the very rudimentary components of whatever we are learning and build on that foundation. There are no shortcuts but I do believe through repetition of the building blocks it allows to understand more complex concepts in each subject.

I certainly can help in this area with my 12 years of assisting students from 17 to 40 years of age. I try to engage my student, to tease the learning out of him or her. I have learned to explain, to give the information then to step back, allowing my student to think through to the conclusion. This involves silence sometimes, and the student talking more while I talk less, something not so easy for a teacher of Italian descent. Experiences has shown, however, that it often works. My name is John Calleri and I have been a teacher for more than 30 years. During that time, I have taught in two languages, English and Spanish, and in three countries: the United States, Germany, and Spain. I have taught Social Studies to grades 7 to 12, Spanish to grades 9 to 11, and GED (high school equivalency) to students aged 17 to 40. My students have been stateside Americans, newly arrived immigrants to

Throughout my career in business and education I have always loved and appreciated the opportunity to teach and to mentor. I have worked in several college and vocational school departments including teaching, financial aid counseling, registrar, student affairs, career placement, curriculum development, instructor assessments and evaluations, academic advising, and the college selection process. I have also owned and managed a business, served as a management consultant, and a sales and marketing manager. My diverse background and love of helping others learn and to be successful are the passions which motivate me. The very first task is to assess the student's age and learning style. Once this is determined I select the teaching style to best accomodate the student's needs. Although I have used Expert and Formal formats, I prefer to incorporated Personal and Facilitator styles.

My teaching style includes some lecture, covering basics like definitions, concepts and explaining how things work. I also like to do hands on activities so students can really incorporate the concepts from the lecture. I also have assigned papers, class presentations, class discussions and team projects. I try to do a little bit of everything because people learn in different ways. I have a BA in Geology in which I focused on Earth Science, took at least 1 year of Calculus, Physics and Chemistry. I have been taking graduate classes in Biology and Microbiology. In my academic career I have prepared lectures and seminars for students on scientific topics and have recently begun teaching at Erie Community College in their Biomanufacturing department being responsible for teaching basic lab skills, aseptic technique and lab safety. I have personal and job experience in labs. I've worked in

I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them achieve the best they can. I have been teaching kids as a substitute for many years and went back to school in my middle 30's to become a teacher. Unfortunately the availability of teaching positions in my area has prevented me from full time employment but I've kept myself busy subbing and working with young adults and those with disabilities further their educational needs. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high degree

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

I have worked with all levels of students from very bright elementary school to graduate students and post doctorate students. I understand that all students learn in different ways. I talk with student and parent and see what they need and want from a tutoring session. I have an easy going style and try to make the learning fun. However, it is learning and not play -time. We must work together in order to achieve student goals. I like to see results and watch students grow in confidence and competence in all areas of their lives. I tutored inner city youth through a program at D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY. I helped many International Graduate Students improve their English and writing skills. I worked one on one with these students to help edit thesis, statement of purpose, and essays. I have also worked with adult students who want to reduce their accents. I do this by

I currently teach college composition and literature interpretation. I also tutor English composition at a community college. I homeschooled my own children, and I recently recieved my NYS certification to teach English Language Arts at the secondary level. I have a BA in psychology and classics and an MA in psychology. I love composition and literature, and I am especially drawn to students at the developmental level. I am good at accentuating the positive in all students, in helping them find their voice and appreciate the voices and styles of other writers. From homeschooling my own children, I learned to adapt material to individual learning styles. I am passionate about reading and writing at any level and I strive to pass that on to my students.

I love trying to help children gain knowledge. I believe anyone is capable of learning something new no matter how old they are and that patience and the use of deductive knowledge are they key's to having someone develop their knowledge. My method of teaching will evoke these attributes as well as reptition so that not only will your child know the material I am tutoring by the time that I am done, but it will also become routine to them. My main goal will be to teach them to know how to reason and analyse themselves while guideing them to make the right choices on their academic work. As a UB graduate, I was very driven to learn the most I could in the areas of humanities and social sciences. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in History and BA in Political Science. With history, I wrote many essays that required me to decipher large amounts of kryptic writing aging back from thous

I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Furthermore, I can tutor a variety of college courses including philosophy, psychology, communications, anthropology, sociology, and economics. Moreover, I have experience tutoring students in preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT, GED, and GRE. Finally, most of my experience at the Canisius Tutoring Center involved assisting students in the writing of research and term papers. I excel at writing and can teach students how to effectively plan, outline, structure, and write any sort of paper. I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until gradua

The great joy for me in teaching literature and composition is sharing strategies for powerful communication to students who are blocked. Although I am inspired and passionate about English, I enjoy demystifying it and revealing how skills in other areas not only apply but can be key. Whether helping readers gain access to poetry or sharing methods to help organize thoughts or research for an essay, I enjoy helping students identify and craft their own insights into effective and powerful messages. As a Magna Cum Laude graduate, my ten years of professional teaching experience as a lead teacher of secondary English is interspersed with a variety of other relevant experience. In addition to teaching literature, composition and grammar, I have also tutored professionally for Kaplan as part of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind program and for other private tutoring services in M
