Advertising Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gasport, NY

My goal in life is to be a successful teacher to many students. I have already began this exciting journey by volunteering in classrooms starting at the age of fourteen; now I am teaching. My teaching philosophy includes all students; all students can learn. It is the teacher's job to find out what teaching strategy will work best with each student. All students can strive, however, some students may learn material in a different method. Students need to be in a positive, conducive learning environment that best suits them so that ative learning will take place. Students need to have experiences throughout their learning career, it is my job as a teacher to provide this for students. Part of my philosophy as a teacher, is that students need to respect the teacher, yet teachers also need to respect their students so that a positive, enriching learning environment can occur.

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

Every child can learn given a respectful environment wherein he or she has a teacher who will take the time to understand his or her individual learning style as well as what motivates him or her. I believe that the learning process involves inquiry, engagement, collaboration, and reflection with the spirit of inquiry being the foundation of all learning. I believe in setting up students for success. I strive to help students succeed academically along with maintaining an excitement about learning. During the last five years, I have tutored students of all ages from elementary to undergraduates in college. I have a Masters in Childhood Education. I have completed all the requirements for the NY State Chidhood Education and Students with Disabilities (1-6) certifications, which are currently pending.

I have an Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor degree in Mathematics Education. I was a math tutor and math teaching assistant at Daemen College. I completed two student teaching placements in mathematics classrooms during my education. I also completed a volunteer experience at Seneca Babcock Preschool where I aided the teacher in helping the children learn colors and numbers. When I was a senior in high school, I taught Spanish to 2nd graders for a semester long project. Teaching is such a rewarding experience. It is an amazing feeling when you help a student learn something that they previously had been struggling with. My goal is to help the student by becoming interested in the material. If the student is interested in the material, they will have a better chance of learning it. I hope I can have the opportunity to make a difference in many students lives.

I am a firm believer in student-centered lessons and learning by doing. I have always felt that kids would rather do something than watch me do something. It is of utmost importance that I always establish a good rapport with as many students as possible. I feel that my real strengths with regards to education lies in my ability to work extremely well with students in a one-on-one setting. It is no secret that each individual student has their own way of learning. I feel that I am adept at discovering their preferred way of learning and using that method most effectively in a one-on-one setting. It is my priority to not only help kids learn, but inspire them as well. As a graduate from an accredited business school, I have gained a high level of expertise in fields such as Business Administration, Finance, and Economics. Immediately after graduation in 2005, I gained valuable experience

As an Art Educator, I have had the amazing opportunity to take my love for the arts and share that passion with many young minds, both in a school and after school setting. I have earned a bachelors degree in Advertising Design as well as a NYS teaching certificate in Art Education K-12. These degrees have given me a wide range of tools to assist in developing and inspiring young men and women in all areas of creative expression. Over the past three years I have taught students in school and after school, mastering the art of group and individual teaching. I live each day with one main goal in mind, to always be learning and experiencing the world around me and that goal is how I teach my students'. Art is much more then a class in school it is a part of everyday life that many people take for granted. With a degree in advertising I have studied how art can be used to effect the actions

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. Personal establishes a prototype for how to think and behave. It oversees, guides, and directs by showing how to do things. Facilitator guides and directs students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives. The goal is to develop the capacity for critical thinking, initiative, and responsibility with lots of encouragement and support. 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 p

Education stands atop my own list of the most important plights of mankind. I believe people are at their highest capacity for learning when they are children, and that such open minds should be given the resources to grow and educate themselves. I am very patient and persistent in my methods. I think teaching is an art of framing the student's mind so that they find themselves more engaged in the world through expression and description of it from the human language perspective (whether numerical or verbal). I get along well with kids and as long as the student I am working with has an attitude of openness, I am sure that it will be a successful, possibly even fun, experience. As a Cornell graduate, I have had the opportunity be lectured by academic experts spanning a wide variety of disciplines, and have experienced many different teaching styles. I have worked as a course assistant,
