Basics of sign language with a focus on building vocabulary, sentence structure (syntax), and fluency.
I have been involved with sign language for six years now. I took two years in high school and two semesters in college. I also tutored four students for a year in the basics of sign. I am also involved with an all sign language church (no voicing), that has a number of deaf members, with which I interact weekly.

I am an English Graduate from SUNY New Paltz and have a broad range of interests. My time as an English student has taught me to use more critical research and analytical skills. I am hoping my degree will enable me to help others to improve their passion for writing and reading, not just teach them how to approach/explicate or write about a work, but to really find enjoyment in it and relate it to their own life in some way. I have written numerous research papers in many different areas of study (English, Chemistry, Math, Philosophy, Psychology, etc.) and have tutored Mandarin students in English at SUNY Ulster.
I am a strong believer that we all have our own way of learning and it is important to be flexible to the needs of each individual. I have worked as a Counselor for Disabled Adults and see that no matter where a person is developmentally, there is a way to help them ac ... read more

I have several years experience working with children and adults in the education field. The students I have taught at the college level ranged from late teens to early 30s. As I have worked with such a wide range of ages I am familiar with the needs of students in each age group I have taught. I work with the student to understand the areas in which they are not as strong or confident and work with them to develop a method of studying and learning that works best for them. I believe that one of the most beneficial methods of learning material is to relate the material to something the student may be more familiar with or something with which they can relate.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the State University of New York at SUNY New Paltz and I have matriculated into the Master of Arts in Biology program at the same university. As a result of my many ... read more

I do enjoy helping anyone write a well developed and educated paper on the topic at hand. My specific style of teaching, especially for the 8th grade, is to read the current book being used, and then present my lesson with lecture, interactive discussion and comprehension, based on the age and grade of the student. I like to put the lesson into terms that the age group can relate to, and then assign a memory technique that will teach the students to recall the proper answer by using the examples we have discussed in class. That is the same method that I use myself when I need to write a paper. I read it, analyze it, comprehend it, and then write a paper based on what I can relate it too. This technique is very effective when teaching religion, and I have taught my students to use the same technique when attending academic study.
Upon my decision to return to college and obtain ... read more

I am lucky to have experience teaching in multiple academic settings, which helps make me the well-rounded, enthusiastic educator I am today. For the last three years I have taught English at the high school level and am currently an AP-certified instructor. Prior to beginning my teaching career, I was a writing tutor at my university’s writing lab, where I assisted college students at all stages of the writing process. At a private tutoring firm I conducted a homework club and tutored one-on-one, with significant improvements in SAT verbal and essay scores. My love of English—both reading and writing—comes across in my work and helps students succeed. I enjoy working individually with students to help them reach their full potential.
I am an organized, thorough and knowledgeable teacher who strives to create a friendly, personable rapport with my students. I approach every c ... read more
