More About This Tutor...

I have had several different experiences including tutoring for the GED, teaching middle school math and science, teaching pre-K, and second grade integrated special education. Most recently I have been employed as a preschool special education teacher. I feel like I have learned a lot from each of these experiences and they have led me to my future.

Although I have little teaching experience, I love working with all ages of people. I'm sure I would have a different approach to teaching/tutoring because I have not had any education classes or experience. I would offer a more business/economical outlook on mathmatical skills. I really like to explain and learn how these skills will apply do out daily lives and to our lives in the future.
I began to work at Regions Bank in New Albany the Summer after my Senior year of high school. While still working for the bank, I attended Ole Miss for a year, then transfered to Northeast for the next year. I returned to Ole Miss to recieve my bachelors degree in Managerial Finance with an emphasis in Investments. I am now employed for a furniture company out of Tupelo, where I am an Accountant. Although I do not have much teaching experience, I am quite knowledgeable with Financials and Accoun ... read more

More About This Tutor...

At my Ivy League college, we were taught not just facts, but how to learn. This invaluable skill has stood me well and put me in an excellent position to teach. I have continued to love to learn and retained my strengths in both critical reading and in math. I recently took the SAT to demonstrate my qualification for tutoring and scored in the 98th percentile. I have always had a knack for taking a complicated topic and being able to explain it simply and clearly. I can tell when students do not completely understand – despite what they may say – and will stick with a concept until it is demonstrably clear. I have tutored colleagues in computer programs, taught an adult class at the community college and tutored students in English as a Second Language and in math.
I believe teaching is more than just showing how to solve a problem, but is helping the student to discover the “big ... read more

For writing, usually I conduct some exercises. The level of the critique and what to say depends heavily on the age of the student. For grammar, I would either find or create my own practice materials and we could go over whatever is necessary until I've decided that the student is making improvements or the student has succeeded.
Over the past year, I have tried to extend my ability to share my love and appreciation of English and literature with others. As an English/Communications major, I am very knowledgable in a variety of subjects including grammar, writing composition and reading comprehension. Last year, as President of the Writers Forum, we spent several months tutoring as part of an after school program where we helped children in Baltimore write.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching children of all ages and adults. I am patient and a good listener and can zoom in on what a child needs help in. If a child has difficulty grapsing some concept, I believe the teacher can slow down and tackle whatever problem the child is having by using an understanding and nonjudgmental approach.
As a graduate of the State University of NY at Albany, I am very interested in helping others learn. I hold 2 degrees, BA in English and MS in Education/English s a Second Language. I taught school for 4 years and after many years of working in administration, I would like to tutor students in English and mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a Junior High Math teacher for more than 20 years.I also have taught returning Empire State College students in Basic Math and electronics. In my last position, I created "Striving for Excellance in Math". It was a combination of daily and weekly drills and activities. I currently am working for EVI. They score all of the NYS Assessment exams. I therefore know what is required to exceed the standards required by NYS. I have also taught Math9,Course 1,and Math A. I feel I am therefore well versed in all that is required for 9th grade math!! I have never had a student fail the regents.
I left full time teaching 3 years ago. I was the whole math dept. I taught 6,7,8,9th grade math in a private school. I did not realize how much I would miss it. I sometimes day dream about how I would teach a certain topic a different way. I have always thought that teaching is magical. Wh ... read more

Throughout my teaching career, I have become accomplished in creating efficient lessons that reach diverse learners and make relevant connections to the world beyond the classroom. I am proficient in the areas of British and American Literature and have designed innovative units based around such classics as The Scarlet Letter and Of Mice and Men. Making germane connections and scaffolding ideas, allows for deeper comprehension, interpretation, and analysis. This methodology, as well as my vast range in experience has allowed me to thoroughly prepare my students for the English Language Arts Exams, English Regents Exam, and PSAT/SAT. I have prepared students in terms of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and test taking skills. I dedicate my efforts to improving writing on all levels, whether it is creative, professional, Regents, SAT, outlining or proofreading. Writing is a very i ... read more

My goal with every child is to provide an educational experience tailored to her or him, specifically. I have mastered diagnostic techniques that will determine a child's needs in terms of learning-style, ability-level, and comfort-zone. In my experience, a constructivist approach, where the student is motivated to take control of her or his learning works best in that it provides children with the tools and confidence to remember and use the material. Children have a positive learning experience when they are provided a safe learning environment, tools with which to work, and space to fit new information into their schema of stored knowledge.
As an educator, I have had the pleasure of working with urban, rural, foreign, and special-needs students. After gaining experience and education in three major regions of this country, I feel well-prepared to teach and tutor students of all ... read more

The stand that I firmly take as a teacher of English Language Arts is that preconceived notions of a student's ability are left outside the door to my classroom. Every student has a different personality, a different belief system, a different home life, and a different style he/she learns best in. However, every student can learn to write and communicate clearly, and to read and appreciate literature when provided with a rich learning environment, motivation, and explanation of the purpose/learning goals behind an activity or assignment. Evaluation and feedback from me and/or from the student's peers are viable resources that increase the student's awareness of his /her capabilities. The student is provided the opportunity to benefit from the feedback and perform at a higher standard in the future. As both a high school and a middle school teacher, I have experienced the value of learni ... read more

In addition to academics, my students and I focus a lot on being good citizens, and having open/honest communication. I try to foster an environment that instills respect and understanding. In reading, we do both guided reading and book club units. This allows students to get individual skills, along with discussing full texts with one another. My students are very pationate about their writer's notebooks, and the writer's workshop program we have been focusing on this year (and years past). We have worked hard to master the challenging NYS math curriculum, and have met with success within the classroom.
After completing my graduate program and student teaching at Latham Ridge Elementary School, I became an aide within the same building. This position lent itself to filling in maternity years the following year. I was then hired as a sixth grade teacher and have been in that ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My educational and professional experience are both concentrated on writing. More narrowly, analytical writing and legislative reporting. My experience tutoring on writing goes back to when I was part of a volunteer peer program, tutoring English as a second language students to assist them with mastering the English regents. At the collegiate level, I was a school tutor for 100-200 level liberal arts class, helping numerous students write strong papers and beat Intro to Logic. I also was a teachers assistant for Politics and Film, a political theory cross-listed grad/undergrad class. In sum, I have experience working across a wide age range and am able to accommodate a variety of learning styles, from junior high to adult levels.
My teaching style is professional, friendly, and peer to peer. I like to break things down for students and I encourage them to ask a lot of questions. I ... read more
