I am very experienced in teaching small groups of college level students. During my senior year of college I was selected to be a Russian apprentice teacher through Kenyon College's Intensive Language Program. I taught students three times per week for approximately an hour each session. I had to go through training for this position, which taught me how to design lessons and utilize teaching tools to help students understand the material. As I am a recent graduate myself, I understand the needs of most students and what it takes to keep them engaged in learning. For example, I frequently used games as memorization tools for students that focused on repetition as a learning aid. In September, I am leaving to take part in the Peace Corps as a teacher of English language in Ukraine. I plan on pursuing teaching as my future career and want to keep building on my experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching motto is: Learning is fun. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Hello! I became a teacher in 2003 after spending several years in Retail Management. Although I loved the challenge and fast pace of working in retail, I didn't really feel as though I was making a huge difference in anyone's life by having retail as a career. So, I decided that I would return to school and pursue a degree in something that did make a difference in others' lives. I had always wanted to be a teacher from the time I was a little girl, as my teachers all had a profound effect on my life and I wanted to pass on that effect to other kids who may be struggling in school as I once did. This is nothing more gratifying to me than to see my student's knowledge grow and thrive. I love the moment the student says "a-ha" :) . I am a very thorough teacher who is always making sure that what I teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been tutoring for both adults and adolescents for over five years in a variety of fields. I develop individual learning plans that are designed based on each students strengths and learning style. Additionally, I have found that making the material relevant to life outside of the classroom results in greater mastery. The material will be taught so that it is easily transferable to other areas. I have experience helping students with and without special needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

After finishing Graduate School, I immediately began working as a 7th Grade Summer School English Teacher. Along with a one month Long-Term Substitute position teaching 9th and 11th grade English and Advanced English, I was prepared to take on a full-time role. Now as a full-time English Language Arts Support Study Teacher, I work closely with small groups of students to help improve their ELA skills and their general study skills to help improve their overall educational performance.
I believe that each student has a unique learning style and therefore, teachers must develop a unique approach to each an every student. By providing a comfortable learning environment, students feel more open to share and learn. Trust and respect between teacher and student is essential for the best learning to take place. With a student-centered approach, each individual can gain the most from t ... read more

Experienced Teacher Available

I believe in meeting students right where they are, and letting them progress at their own rate. I make learning as relevant as possible and incorporate many hands-on learning opportunities. I present information in a multitude of ways, using modifications and graphic organizers. School should be fun, and most importantly, it should make sense!!
After teaching for 12 years, I decided to step away from the classroom in order to spend more time with my own two kids. I taught in both Rochester City and Brighton, with kids in grades 7-12. Many of my students struggled in school for all different reasons. I would love the opportunity to work with you. School can be really frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. I know a few tricks to help it go more smoothly, and I'd love to share them with you!

Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she needs to meet. Then, having determined what it is reasonable to accomplish, I work through repetitive assignments and increasingly complex examples to raise the student’s standard of satisfaction and equip him/her with the critical skills necessary to recognize where his work succeeds and where it does not. My approach is interactive and designed to satisfy the student’s aspiration for independent achievement and confident self-assessment.
Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate ef ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal.
Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe tha ... read more

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate, my ten years of professional teaching experience as a lead teacher of secondary English is interspersed with a variety of other relevant experience. In addition to teaching literature, composition and grammar, I have also tutored professionally for Kaplan as part of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind program and for other private tutoring services in Maine and New York. I have taken more than twelve professional development workshops and classes in English and education since 2001. I have also taught history, civics, poetry and creative writing, professional communication and drama.
The great joy for me in teaching literature and composition is sharing strategies for powerful communication to students who are blocked. Although I am inspired and passionate about English, I enjoy demystifying it and revealing how skills in other areas not only ... read more

As a graduate of the University at Buffalo, I have supplemented my strong academic background with extensive experience in tutoring. In addition to earning a Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics, I spent the first two years of college completing coursework in physics. The following two years, I worked for the undergraduate learning center as a mathematics and English tutor, and was hired by a local tutoring organization as a mathematics teacher. Throughout my academic career, I have written research papers, essays, and newspaper articles. I have also tutored several students on a private basis. I am currently pursuing a Second Bachelor’s Degree in geology at the University at Buffalo, and expect to graduate in the spring of 2011.
As one who is interested in mathematics, science, and writing, I thoroughly enjoy sharing those interests with others and helping them to succeed as stud ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them achieve the best they can. I have been teaching kids as a substitute for many years and went back to school in my middle 30's to become a teacher. Unfortunately the availability of teaching positions in my area has prevented me from full time employment but I've kept myself busy subbing and working with young adults and those with disabilities further their educational needs.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Cornell University in May of 2009, I was hired as a legislative assistant in the New York State Senate where I write press releases, columns, letters, and speeches as well as correspond with various state and federal agencies on a daily basis. Throughout my experiences I have learned to write and communicate in clear and direct terms and believe that I have the knowledge and ability to assist any student in achieving their goals. As a martial arts instructor for 3 years, I developed unique tools to motivate and teach discipline to students of all ranks, ages, and ability levels. I believe these same principles can be applied to teaching any subject matter.
My teaching style revolves around patience. No one can learn overnight and no one who is struggling already can work under pressure. It is vital to cultivate a strong and positive attitude toward the subjec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was fortunate to receive a very distinguished education through a local school of the Arts program and an Ivy League institution. Both experiences produced within me a tenacious commitment to academic excellence, creative expression, and a strong desire to give back to my community. As a result, I have dedicated several years to serving the community in an educational capacity. I have tutored/taught students in grades pre-k to high school (including students with disabilities), in the subjects of math, ELA, science, social studies, and life skills. In addition, I am a prolific writer, and my literary skills have been utilized by employers for script/form letter writing and the production of staff training materials.
I respect all children and the variety of ways in which they learn. I firmly believe that children (by nature) are curious about learning and therefore, capable ... read more
