My teaching style is very structured and organized. I teach with the style that every child is unique and learns at their own style and pace. I do not believe in rushing learning nor that every skill, style, environment or learning setting works for every student. My teaching style also mirrors the idea that children learn through hands on, interactive, tactile, and motivating experiences, resources and materials. Most of all, my style of teaching is based upon tapping into each child's own interest or interests that academics can be related and taught through.

Expert with Goal that student achieve the A+ in exams

Tutoring Approach: I like to tailor my tuition depending on the student's individual needs as I understand and respect that each student is unique. The first step I take in my approach to tutoring new students is to understand and assess their strengths and weaknesses. I use different styles and methods of teaching depending upon the student's ability and attitude. My main method is to first listen to the student's problems and help them to come to the correct solutions making sure that they understand and are involved in each and every step. I give my students the necessary confidence to ask me questions without any hesitation and often use everyday life experiences to explain subjects. I am inclined to use the reduction method . i.e. breaking down a large problem to small parts in order to make it understandable when I feel its appropriate . This method is particularly effective wh ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Tutoring is one of my best skills, its just something I do well. I’ve tutored k-12 for Amsterdam, Gloversville and Johnstown in almost any subject, I have a strong math background particularly in algebra. I’m a good writer and do some freelance writing online at times. I have some experience with computer applications such as Photoshop, MS Publisher and PowerPoint. My BA. degree is in economics with a minor in business, I’ve completed some courses in graphic communications and have taken psychology on a graduate level. I’ve also homeschooled my own son for a year. He recently posted a 4.0 GPA at FMCC.
I enjoy tutoring enough to do it for free, which I have done for my friends from time to time. I’m a friendly laid back person who loves to learn and help others learn, particularly in a one on one setting. I’m quite good at breaking a subject down into an understandable step by step ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a firm believer that all children can learn if given every option to be successful. In order to achieve success, students should be surrounded with tools to help them learn and a positive learning environment is key. Teachers should not expect all children to learn at the same pace nor same learning style. I never give up on my students. Students need teachers who do not accept failure and teach perseverance.
I have devoted my life as a mother of three and as an educator. I have earned a BA in English and a Master's Degree in Special Education. In addition, I have dual certification in New York State. I am very knowledgeable in the areas of History, English, and Life Science. My students have a high success rate for passing New York State Regent's Exams.

As a tutor, I owe the students in my cohort the very best! I am committed to providing our children with the very best educational quality that I can, and am constantly try to improve upon my own skills. I earned a BA in psychology from SUNY Albany, and began to pursue my Master's in Education, but felt at the time that I owed it to my own children to wait. I had the opportunity to study abroad, and gained valuable language skills. I substitute taught at all grade levels for 2 years before returning to work full time. I currently tutor an tenth grade cohort in math, science, social studies, and English. I also plan and implement college field trips so that students gain valuable exposures to higher education.

I have been a full time tutor for the SUNY Research Foundation for four years and have tutored students in grades 6-9 in the areas of english,history,math and science.I am presently located at the Fort Plain High School with the research foundation program.Before this, I was a substitute teacher for three years in the following areas:math, science, english and history.

I am a firm believer that tutoring students one-on-one is very beneficial and gives the student the added time and experience needed to excel in a certain subject. I also believe that each student has a different learning style which should be emphasized during tutoring sessions in order to make the learning experience easier,and more effective.

I enjoy demonstrating skills and processes and then as a coach/guide in helping students develop and apply these skills and knowledge. I show the students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that the students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. I encourage student participation. As we work together I’ll learn what best works for them and adjust to their personal learning styles.
Most of my work experience was gain as a teacher’s aide.I work in a self contained classroom.I worked with students in small groups or individually.I would grade and enter grades for the teacher.I took students to Physical Education by myself.I organize and prepare the learning material for the week.I taught science and computer skills portion of the classroom.Each stu ... read more

I love tutoring and working with children to young adults. The internet provides a lot of information but the joy of going to the library to discover new worlds, knowledge or just for the fun of it is still a worthwhile venture. I have tutored students who truly abhored reading but when we read about New York City and took them to the places of interest we studied and it truly got them excited about the next book. My methods are varied but consistent. I teach outdoors weather permitting on field trips and with themes to keep the child interested and wanting to read and learn.
As a mother of 16 yr old twins, I have always been a tutor in reading, english and literature.

Currently, I work for the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa school districts as a home instructor for grades 6 to 12. I enjoy working with the kids one on one and feel wonderful about helping them stay up to date with their school work until they are physically able to return to the regular classroom setting. Aside from home instruction, I also work regularly as a substitute for Saratoga County schools, and have built up a great working relationship with all faculty and students in each building that I am assigned. Prior to working for Saratoga Springs, I taught 1st grade for two years at PS 325 which is located in Manhattan. I had a very successful run at PS 325, and I am proud of my accomplishments with the children especially in the area of mathematics and reading. Lacking opportunities at home, many of my children faced incredible challenges when it came to learning thus I had ... read more

I don't think there is anything better than the feeling of helping a child learn. Every student have the ability to learn, we have to adapt our teaching styles so that all students can understand. Our job as teachers is to prepare students for their future. Through education and a caring, nurturing and creative teacher, that is what I hope to give all my students, a future. The brightest one possible.
I began school as a Biology major for 2 years, so I have a great science background. I love to teach children. I finished my Masters program in December 07 and began teaching at the school I did my internship at, Briarcliff MS. I taught grades 6-8 and filled in for a Special Ed teacher at the end of the year. Also during that time I tutored a group of 6 graders in Math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been a very direct teacher. What I mean by that is I am very clear on what my goals are in a classroom from the very first day I begin. I let all of the students know what my expectations are, and what dissapoints me. I know that each child is different. I have always been willing to take the time to support those students who need extra attention, whether it be before or after school. Every student is capable of learning, but not every student is willing. Part of my job is to encourage them to choose the right path to their success.
Throughout the years, I have had many experiences in the field of education. I began my experience in the classroom as a student teacher at Syracuse University. My first assignment was a 12th grade classroom as a freshman in college. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding experience that taught me how to discipline and gain respec ... read more

Beyond successfully navigating the education system, I have helped others achieve academically. In middle and high school, I peer-tutored Social Studies, Math, Science, and English. In college, I was a peer advisor in my department. In graduate school, I taught undergraduates scientific writing at the Writing Center. I also tutored graduate students in statistics. I then taught eight undergraduate courses as the primary instructor, including Statistics, Personality Theory, and Research Methods. Other professional experiences related to my graduate training in clinical psychology have contributed to my development as an instructor. I co-authored publications and presented at national conferences. Additionally, I conducted assessments with adults, children, and adolescents with learning challenges. The data were used to make individualized recommendations for studying, remediation, and acc ... read more

I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to help a student figure out how to learn and approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. Sometimes what a child needs most is to simply understand that he or she is capable of achieving. Instilling self-affirmation is an extremely important part of teaching, and that would be my goal in working with your child.
