I very much enjoy teaching both children and young adults. It gives me great satisfaction in helping others achieve a higher level of knowledge and skills. In addition, I feel that tutoring is a two-way street, whereby both the student learns material from the tutor, while at the same time the tutor learns how to better present the material in a way that is conducive for the student's learning. As such I strive to create a teaching environment that is both welcoming, yet challenging. Lastly, when it comes to learning and teaching, I believe in perseverance. Not every student has the ability to comprehend and retain everything all at once. Therefore as a tutor I would strive to instill this quality in my students. Having received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and the University of California in the area of physical science (Atmospheric Science),

Practiced for years as an attorney for NYS. Semi-retired now. I have also been a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) in Albany, NY. I met with a Korean graduate student at U. Albany and helped him learn English. I am also able to help in foreign language tutoring with German and French. I was trained well by the Literacy volunteers of America. I believe that my style is to help the student with repetition, while still making learning fun, via conversation and connecting the importance of what is being learned to every day life.

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

I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything. How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach.

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 respect from my students. In the remaining years at Syracuse University, I was placed in several other student teaching classrooms from middle school to high school. I also tutored college students in Writing, English, and Spanish for 2 years. I graduated with a sense of accomplishment for what I had achieved and provided for my students. Professionally, I have worked as a high school english teacher, and as a curriculum developer in education publishing companies. This has also been rewarding because I have been given the freedom to help create what student

During my 30 years of teaching, I have developed many activities, demonstrations, discussions, and inquiry learning techniques to help students understand the concepts of science. For the past seven years, I have been tutoring after school. My teaching is visual and hands-on, with demonstrations, diagrams and examples from every-day life. I seek to discuss information with my students rather than lecture to them. I develop individualized programs based on a student’s learning style, motivation, strengths and weaknesses. In test preparation, I often do survey tests to tell me what the student knows and doesn’t know,to be most effective with their time. I have taught inner city schools, public schools, private schools, alternative education school, summer school, adult classes and college extension courses; giving me a wide range of experiences with different students.

I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives. I have tutored children at several levels, with varying degrees of leaning capacities. I teach them techniques to learn, remember, apply the knowledge and take different types of tests/quizzes. I spend considerable amount of time in learning students’ educational background and preparing myself to teach such that tutoring does not feel a burden to a kid, and kids show more interest in learning and absorbing relative subject matters. I take pride and strive to make a significant contribution to building career of their choices to all of students I teach. · Well Experienced Tutor, over 25 years, for Mathematics and Sciences · Expert tutoring for SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT · Expert in Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics - all levels starting with Basic

I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the first to earn bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. I am happy to work with anyone, but I might be a particularly meaningful match for a minority or female student. In addition to tutoring, I would hope to serve as a "can-do" example for someone who might not have dared to dream big enough. 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 h

As a professional educator, I am dedicated to seeing all students succeed. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in History and a BA in English, as well as New York State certification and my MAT Social Studies. I have tutored throughout my academic career, and continue to teach and tutor in a wide variety of subjects. I am a strong believer in Multiple Intelligences. I know that first I must learn who my students are and how they learn if I am to teach them successfully. I employ the Socratic method often possible, and keep lessons as student-centered as possible. I frequently make use of the students' interests and technology to engage them. Students thrive when they see the usefulness of what they are learning, and when techniques are adapted to their needs.

I spent several years in my last job role developing and implementing a training program on budgeting, cost reporting and government compliance for low-level fiscal staff working on community service providers in New York City; often English competency of these staffers was low. I greatly enjoyed this experience that demonstrated my outstanding ability to teach and relate well with those often not of my same ethnic / cultural background. Throughout my career I have provided instructional guidance to others. My 20-year career experience includes competencies in all phases of accounting and financial analysis, auditing and risk assessment, and general / entrepreneurial business management.

I believe that the mark of a talented instructor is not just being knowledgeable, but also being able to dynamically engage her students; effectively impart her knowledge to them; and remain aware of learning differences and accommodate her teaching style accordingly. Therefore, I aim to be as collaborative, engaging, and flexible as possible. My impression of myself as this type of teacher has been corroborated by my students’ verbal and written feedback. In addition to these elements, my teaching style is influenced by my familiarity with the empirical literature in the area of learning impairment and an understanding of how a person’s relative cognitive strengths and weaknesses may affect his/her academic performance. Also, the clinical aspect of my graduate training helps me with interpersonal effectiveness across a number of settings. In short, the integration between my professiona

I believe in challenging a student to do more than they were aware they could do - I have consistently found that individuals give themselves less credit than they deserve. I believe in making a lesson relevant to a student - keep it abstract and it will remain difficult, but bring it home and they will own it. I am excellent at distilling the basic lessons within a topic into take-home messages that give the student more than merely a list to memorize; they get actual working knowledge that will not erode so quickly from memory. I can communicate at many different levels, and am sincere about sharing my love of learning. I believe in the scientific method as a key to intellectual and technological progress, and in the inherent robustness of truth. But the foundation of my philosophy is that each individual, as well as his or her community, is improved through learning. Each individual i
