A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children and watching them learn. I am a very understanding and non-judgemental person and I understand that everyone learns in different ways, and am a big believer in Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences. I enjoy reading myself, and think I am able to instill my love of books in other people.
I am currently working on my masters degree in Childhood Education 1-6 and Literacy at Sage College. In the past, I have done private tutoring in English Language Arts and Social Studies. I have also worked as an assistant teacher at a pre-school and have done some substitute teacher at the elementary level.

I have excelled at my Spanish studies now for twelve years. I completed my Bachelors of Arts Degree at SUNY Albany. While there, I consistently excelled in my Spanish classes. I also chose to study abroad in Madrid for a year in order to improve my oral fluency and comprehension. While there, I tutored two Spanish-speaking girls in English. I developed a more comprehensive knowledge of the different vocabulary used in Spain and in Mexico. Throughout my entire education, grammar has been drilled into my head. I have an advanced level of Spanish with regards to grammatical structure, an extensive vocabulary of words and phrases, and an ability to speak nearly-fluent Spanish. The study abroad experience really rounded out my skills. Having traveled throughout Spain for a year, I am well-prepared to assist you or your child in learning Spanish. I look forward to working with you soo ... read more

I have been working with children since high school. Currently I substitute teach through the Capital Region BOCES system in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade. I enjoy working with all age groups. For two summers I have worked at a discovery camp for students in grades kindergarten through second grade as the science teacher. This allowed me the opportunity to come up with creative activities and science experiments for the students to take part in. Also in college I worked for the Equal Opportunity program tutoring college students.
I believe it is important to get to know the child you are teaching. Every child learns differently. By evaluating the childs strenghts and weaknesses you can help the child to succeed. I believe it is important to make learning interactive and intersting for the student. The more interested the child is in the subject matter the easier it is f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received a BS from SUNY Oswego where I was trained in how to teach many types of subjects effectively to elementary aged children. My current employment as a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish teacher has given me the opportunity to work with middle school students. It has also challenged me as an educator to teach an elementary level Spanish curriculum. I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain to immerse myself in the language and culture, and returned there the summer of 2009 to explore more of the country and increase my skills with the language. I earned a MS in Literacy B-6 from the University at Albany. Through that program I learned how to effectively help struggling readers become more confident and successful readers and writers.
My love of teaching comes from the students. I am passionate and enthusiastic about what I do because of them. I believe in hands-on investigative lea ... read more

The Teacher Education Certificate affords me with a well-rounded familiarity with curriculum for all primary grade level and techniques to best understand learning style and peak interest in learning. I critique my teaching techniques to fit the individual, learning from the student what best works for them. I take educational endeavor seriously, knowing games and fun are required to reach children, yet understanding, reading levels and test score are increasingly important for self-esteem and prosperity. My creativity, extensive experience and proven success, show themselves as qualifiers for tutoring positions. I am a committed educator with a strong focus in reading comprehension, written and verbal skills and mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

Besides having a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics, I have a strong analytical/technical background that enabled me to succeed in physics, civil engineering, and electrical engineering electives that I took as part of my undergraduate studies. During a ten-year period during my professional career in the telecom industry, I trained managers and technicians in a number of subjects. I also developed training curriculums and prepared training materials for my classes. The subjects involved classroom training in use of a Verizon inventory management system, quality assurance seminars, and informal mentoring workshops for new managers on improving their leadership, interpersonal, communications, and conflict resolution skills.
My teaching style is engaging since I like to get the student or students involved in learning and practicing the material as much as possible. I am anima ... read more

My belief is that identifying students' learning style is key to their success. I use a variety of strategies and activities to meet students' needs. I regularly use formative assessments; ongoing assessments, observations, summaries, and reviews that inform my instruction and provide students with feedback on their progress and areas in need of improvement. I believe in hard work, but am patient and always an advocate for my students.
My degrees in Elementary Education and Curriculum and Instruction have given me a deep understanding of curriculum, standards and testing, and learning styles. I have taught a total of 12 years including grades 4, 5 and 6. My role as Gifted and Talented coordinator and nine years in a Special Education collaborative setting have strengthened my skills in modifying curriculum to meet the needs of individual learners. I have led Reading and Math ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an amateur tutor ever since high school, when I tutored classmates for free. I spent 6 years as a nuclear trained electrician in the US Navy, 10 years in academia where I studied and taught psychology, biology, and communications, and the past 10 years in retail management. I took it upon myself to conduct impromptu training sessions in many different areas of study while in the Navy, and actively helped shipmates engaged in external study programs. I implemented a tutoring program for pre-med and pre-vet students and others while a member of Beta-Beta-Beta (the National Honor Society for Biology) at Southern Illinois University. I have used my teaching and training skills in innumerable situations as a retail manager. I am a life-long learner and actively acquire and absorb lectures on cd in many disciplines through The Teaching Company.

While I was an undergraduate, volunteering was very important to me. One of the places I volunteered was an after school program for children who live in Hamilton Hill. While I volunteered there I helped many of them with there homework as well as extra reading and writing to help improve those skills. I found that my psychology major as well as my education and english minors were very useful and helpful to help tutor in all subjects.
I love working with children. I was involved in girl scouts from first grade all the way to 12th grade and in those years I learned a lot of leadership skills. I am very patient and want to provide education to anyone that needs it. When I was in school I often struggled with school work, so I learned many different techniques to learn how to learn.

As a graduate from SUNY Albany with a Masters in Literacy I take education in reading very seriously. I have been tutoring local students for the past three years. I have also substituted in the Capital Region for the past four years at various grade levels. In 2008, I taught 6th grade English Language Arts at Hoosic Valley Elementary school. I believe that literacy can be inetegrated within any subject and can be made accessible for any student regardless what there strengths or weaknesses may be.
I enjoy teaching children of all ages. I believe that a good teacher is one that can reach any child regardless of how that specific student learns best. One thing that I have found that works best is finding out the many interests of a student and then using those interests to engage the child. Once a child is engaged in the material, teaching is the easy part. I believe modelin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I personally believe that all students are individuals in their learning styles and each student should be approached differently. I am lucky enough to work in a situation in which all of my students can receive 1-1 academic learning. I believe that a teacher should take the time to learn each of their students learning styles and work within those styles to help students achieve academic success.
I am currently working as a Teacher in a special education classroom. I have three students, all with server autism. I have to manage 3 TA's in the classroom. I work with the NYS standards to follow and manage student IEPs.

A Little Bit About Me...

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
