Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in East Rochester, NY

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject. As a private school and state school graduate,I recieved a broad and varied background in higher education.I taught at two Catholic Schools. I have performed also as a substitute teacher with the experience of teaching at most grade levels and subjects. I have also performed Homebound Teaching f

With extensive (and recent) training in education, especially with regard to providing for the needs of diverse learners, I am prepared to work with each student and his or her family to develop an individualized learning plan that will help the student to become confident and proficient in whatever subject area he or she wishes to strengthen. My teaching style is flexible; I will use a variety of techniques and approaches based on what will work best with the student's individual learning style. My leanings are towards comprehensive, hands-on, discovery-based teaching; creating opportunities for my student to make real-world and personal connections with the information. Though I recently graduated with a BS in Childhood and Special Education, I have many years of experience as a teacher/trainer. I currently substitute teach Per Diem in several local districts for K-12 students. I als

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. I have worked with preschool to grade 5. I am a strong believer of differentiation which incorporates various learning styles and truly meeting the needs of each individual child. All students learn in various ways and each child's education must be tailored to their learning style. I believe all children can be successful if given the right tools and environment. One on one learning creates the most powerful combination for student success and achievement. My goal for my future career in education is focused on how I can make a difference in my students' academic and personal lives. I am currently finishing my Masters in Inclusive Education grades 1-6 at Nazareth College. I work for a childcare center currently and have a 3 year old daughter. I have participated in various field placements from grades 1-5. I am confident in my ability to t

I have taught for two years as an Earth Science teacher in the Rochester City School District. I was also a teaching assistant in a K-5 building in West Irondequoit (self-contained classrooms). I have been a substitute teacher/teaching assistant in the Penfield Central School District. I have also spent some time tutoring some students from Penfield in Earth Science. In college at Fredonia I tutored students in Geology and Geography. I love to be around students who are eager to learn new things. I typically take a very hands on approach to learning, especially with science, as I believe it makes it more fun and easier to understand. I am a very patient person, easy going and a good listener. I always hope to leave my students with the same love for science that I have.

I have 20 years of Finance, Information Systems and Engineering experience. As a person that put himself through college, both undergrad and grad school and then taught at a local Community College, I bring a unique perspective on the value that education can bring to a person's life. From an industry perspective, I have both developed and trained employees and received training prepared by other employees. I prefer a one on one or a classroom style envionment. One on one training allows me to focus on the student and understand the areas that he or she may be having difficulty with which allows me to tailor my curriculum to the student's needs. I believe in hands on work by the student such that he or she can demonstrate back to me that the concepts have been understood.

My teaching style is patient and relaxed. I encourage children to find the answers on their own with my guidance and tons of encouragement. I feel that children flourish in this type of environment. I strive to provide all the tools, guidelines, and expectations necessary up front in order to create a relaxed environment where the focus is on learning and less on apprehension or nervousness. Throughout my job positions I have mentored and tutored new coworkers to bring them up to speed on business/IT systems. I have written technical documentation and test cases for 7 years. Recently, I was attending writing-intensive classes at Empire State College which has enabled me to brush up on grammar and writing for research papers. I currently script requirements and scenarios for an IT company as a Business Analyst.

At the University at Buffalo I worked as a tutor for university students in subjects ranging from English and Spanish to biology and calculus. My BS is in biomedical sciences but I am also a proficient writer and have taken many English courses. I received an award for Outstanding English Student in high school. In addition, I worked for the WHIZard Academy for Mathematics and English in Penfield, NY as a chemistry tutor for a high school student in preparation for the regents exam. I created lesson plans and compiled practice test questions because the company did not possess the materials to properly prepare the student for the exam. In my experience, most students learn best by practicing the material and get bored listening to long lectures. However, as I learned from students and from a college tutoring course, all students have different styles of learning and I tailor my teaching

I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greater reward than unlocking each individual's potential for academic interest and success. Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I ha

I am currently a substitute teacher and work everyday in one of four school districts in the Rochester area. I enjoy helping and tutoring kids. I teach ESL to adults on Monday and Wednesday nights and that is very similar to tutoring. I believe tutoring is very rewarding as a teacher and for the student. My teaching style depends on the student. Some students need more visual and audio while others depend on memorization. I like to modify my style that suits their needs as a learner. I beleive in comprehension skills, memorization and learning key concepts to help them link connections.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Houghton College and my Master's Degree from SUNY Brockport. I have taught in an Elementary School for 9 years. I taught second grade for four years and kindergarten for the last five. I have also tutored on and off for the past four years. I also attend 30 hours of professional development every year. From my experience I know that students learn in many different ways. As a teacher and a tutor I find out how each child learns. I then develop interesting lessons that meet each child's specific needs. It is important that the children are actively involved in their own learning process. I like to make lessons hands on and thought provoking.

I follow the curriculum. First I go over the material that needs to be taught and I study it as if I were a student who didn't understand. Then, I create lesson plans that are interactive, fun, and modern. I do believe in older methods that work, for example grammar worksheets and journal writing every day to encourage practice. I'm a fun teacher, and that is what I believe kids need, especially today. Our youth is growing up in a generation of television screens at gas stations, ipods, cell phones with video cameras, myspace, facebook, etc. . . . Therefore it was my goal to find passion in their lives, first. For example Anthony Hicks didn't like English, but he loved playing football. I knew this was his motivation, so I focused on what he was good at as something to motivate him to get a good grade in my class. Anthony got an A, because of his hard work and determination. My t

I have a tendency to push myself, I was persuing a double major in college in Math and Musical Theater but made a last minute decision to focus on my math career. I then pushed myself to achieve a master's degree in Secondary Education in only a year. I began tutoring in college when I decided that I wanted to go into teaching. I gained experiences tutoring Statistics, all levels of Calculus and college Algebra. I was never at the top of my class but I was above average so I feel I understand both the students who come to understand topics well as well as those who need a little help. I believe that students learn best when they can put meaning behind what they learn. I do my best to answer the question, "When am I ever going to use this?" I have found that my best teaching moments have been out of the formal classroom, when I am working in a one-on-one setting with my student. I

I am a recent graduate of Nazareth College and I am currently going there for my masters. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Inclusive Education and Biology. This gave me the opportunity to earn certification through grades 1st through 9th along with special education. I have gained tutor experience through volunteer programs at Nazareth with mostly high school students. I believe all children have the ability to succeed in their academic career. By being patient, upbeat, and interested in their topic of study, children will not have a problem taking risks in their learning. Science is learned through exploration. I believe a hands-on activity is the best approach to learning any subject.
