I was a substitute teacher for Wappingers Central School district from April 2013 to June 2014. I taught grades 6 - 12 for a variety of subjects including, but not limited to Social Studies, Spanish, English, Music, and Special Education. One particular position I held was that I was a substitute Spanish teacher at Van Wyck Jr. High School teaching grades 7 - 8 from February to March 2014. As a musician, before moving to the area, I was on the Executive Board of American Federation of Musicians Local 238 - 291. I have been playing French horn for 16 years and guitar for 13 years.

More About This Tutor...

Having spent many years in a classroom, working with groups of children, as well as individuals, I realize that teaching begins with a good relationship with your students. I take an interest in my students in a very caring way, and I reap the rewards of their trust. I like to get to know a little background on each student so as to make the material more relevant. I employ positive psychology in my teaching, as I desire not only competent students, but happy ones.
As an educator and parent, I love working with children, and have been involved with their welfare and education for many years. Raising my three children, who are all M.D.'s, and working with all children, I feel I have found my life's work. Currently, I am a substitute teacher at Montrose Jr. Sr. High School. In the summer I teach elementary school students at Kopernik Space and Science Center in Vestal, New York. ... read more

As an adjunct English professor, I have taught basic college composition and various literature courses for a decade. I have worked closely with students to help them improve their writing on the collge and high school levels. I have extensive composition, grammatical, crtical reading and writing skills from my own work as a graduate student and published author, and have a decade's worth of experience sharing that knowledge with students. Advisors at SUNY tell me my classes fill quickly because I have a reputation as a kind, helpful, and patient teacher who loves what she does and sincerely wants to help students.
I believe students should be treated with respect - just like real people! I believe all students can succeed when given a solid foundation of information and guidance and encouragement. I feel the most damaging thing a teacher can do to a student is to make them feel i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My educational background in psychology and early childhood education has given me the insight to allow student to figure out things themselves with a little prompting. My most successful tutoring has been in explaining things the way a student might relate to his own experience. Allowing time for listening gives me clues to what that experience might be.
I have tutored grades k-4 in Math, reading and english for the past six years in an after school program. I have studied child development to help me relate to elementary students. My experience in writing for a newspaer has improved grammatical skills.This endeavor has given me an eye for correctness and detail to insist on with my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing, and grammar. I followed my passion and earned both my BA at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania where I was encouraged to continue my education to the Master’s level. At SUNY, I decided that teaching was the only career path with which I would be happy. Over the past six years (during both my BA and MA), I have been in the positions of discussion leader (leading to a better understanding of the literature students were reading), Writing Center tutor, and First-Year Composition instructor.
Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way stree ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the right environment, anyone can learn. I look forward to being that "right guidance."
I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a great passion when it comes to working with children and helping them to overcome any educational hurdles and achieve academic success. Through my experience I've learned that when it comes to having a teaching style every child is different, but can be reached through time, dedication and understanding. I've learned that hands on learning is very effective and being able to relate a topic into something the child likes or understands is also an adequate way to help in the process of comprehension. I strive to help my students achieve self confidence in their work and to reach their goals.
In 2006 I was at my final step of reaching my BA in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English with only having left to complete my student teaching, but was taken by another opportunity. I moved to Japan and teach ESL and ESOL for almost 3 complete years. I taught from all ages tw ... read more

I loved teaching! I think I retired too early because I miss the every day challenges and excitement teaching gives! I have been trained in 4Mat and Gardners Multiple Intelligences. I firmly believe "every child can learn" as long as you teach to their learning style. My daughter is following in my foot steps and will start her first teaching job in September. I truly believe if we show a child we care they can learn anything!
I am a retired school teacher that misses teaching children.I taught in a NJ public School for over 30 years. I actually taught in the same school district I attended as a child. My expertise is in 5th & 6th grades, but am available for grades 2-8. I have some science background and taught technology also.

During this past school year I was a practicum student in a second and third grade self contained 15-1 classroom. This placement gave me the opportunity to teach math, science, and reading to students with learning disabilities and various instructional needs. During student teaching I taught in a fifth grade regular education classroom as well as in a learning workshop. My experience in the fifth grade helped me to hone my teaching style as well as explore behavior management techniques. The learning workshop allowed me to conduct a variety of push-in and pull-out programs with third, fourth, and fifth graders as well as providing 1-0n-1 reading support for a non-verbal student with cerebral palsy.

Although I have no formal teaching experience, I do have been developing my teaching style for many years while I worked with the developmentally disabled. I learned to identify a teachable moment, which is a time at which the student would be most receptive to learning. As a tutor, I would create those moments and boost confidence by encouraging the student to explore the subject in the way that is most interesting to them. When a child or student asks a question, I will guide them through a thought process so they can come up with the answer themselves.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in journalism from Oswego State University. While in school I studied psychology and child development as well as great works of literature. I have always had a knack for grammar and spelling and I enjoy proofreading documents and helping others to develop their ideas. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that one key to successfully helping children of all ages to learn, is a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Since every child learns differently, I always adapt my style of teaching a particular subject to best fit the needs of each individual. I have found that incorporating every day examples and scenarios into the concepts that a student is learning, can help them better understand the subject matter, and the application of these concepts. As an educator, I am flexible and rely on numerous resources to help demonstrate topics. I have a very approachable and patient demeanor, and a sincere passion for assisting each student I work with to understand what they are studying and allowing them realize what they are capable of.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping students of all ages learn. Education lays the groundwork for every goal that one aspires to in life. I love the English language and words. I feel that it is important for every student to come away with at least a basic understanding of how to write and speak. It will only help later in life. I love science because I have always asked 'how things work'. I am patient and enthusiastic. My energy and love of knowledge is contagious. I do not have a specific way of teaching, I adapt methods based on how the students learn best. I see potential in everyone. I have yet to meet a person that excelled at nothing. I want to make an imprint on my students that they will carry with them their entire lives.
