PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hilton, NY

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.

My underlying belief and philosophy is that all students can learn, and should be allowed to do so in the environment that best suits their own particular learning style. I have a vast knowledge of teaching and learning, and a strong sense of what good teaching looks like. I have developed my own easy going, student centered, and hands-on approach to teaching, and design lessons that answer the inevitable question from students, “When am I ever going to use this stuff?” This simple question drives me as I plan and carry out these lessons, and allows students to actually use what they are learning in the context of real life situations and settings. In my 23 years as a teacher and administrator, I have been involved in all aspects and levels of education including teaching all grades K-12, instructional and curriculum leadership, professional development, building management, community

I do not have a teaching degree however, I have 30 plus years experience in Finance. I worked at Eastman Kodak for 37 years. During that time, I have taught bookkeeping to new employees, credit and collection work, working with Dun & Bradstreet, how to determine credit worth, reconciliations and problem solving. I have taught many people the 'Kodak' way to do their job. I have always been highly motivated and able to work well in a team environment. I teach in a manner appropriate to the learner. I can be very basic or I can teach at a higher level, depending on the individual. I am very patient and will go over topics until the person understands before moving forward. I have found that sometimes people do not understand basic concepts and that is why they are having trouble learning.

Since 2000, I have worked as a subcontract Teacher in the Rochester City School District. My experience in the field of Chemical Dependency and counseling prepared me for the challenges I encountered as a teacher in some of the most depressed areas of the City of Rochester. I have learned how to motivate, encourage, mentor and connect with children from many unique backgrounds and life experiences. I enjoy watching children realize that they are smart and have gifts. I encourage and emotionally support my subjects when teaching. Teaching is just as much about gaining the trust and confidence of your student as it is imparting information . As long as a child knows he/she is respected, cared for an

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults both as a social worker and as a teacher. I truly enjoy developing rapport and then using it to instill trust and respect both me and for self as a learner. My own personality is easy and fun and I convey this to my students. I am a perceptive personality with masterful people skills andI can quickly see the impediments to success and then devise activity and discussion that undoes these factors. I am affirming and well structured in my approach. I think it fair to say that the vast majority of my students in tutoring and in college writing, adolescent social programming and parenting classes have also enjoyed and benefitted from our learning relations -- as have I. As an ivy league graduate, I was held to high standards which I have maintained throughout my career. I have a bacehlor's degree in social science and a master's as well.

The following is my personal philosophy of education: I believe that all children have the to ability to learn. A student's curriculum should be integrated with multiple-intelligences in mind. It is crucial for students to be able to make personal connections in their learning. Good teaching means engaging students in meaningul dialogue, text and their lives. Literacy should be encouraged and demeonstrated as a life long process. A successful learning environment must be safe, caring and respectful. As a non-traditional, graduate of Nazareth of Rochester, it has become very clear why an excellent education is clearly the only way to achieve autonomy, which I believe is crucial to all. I earned my dual-certification and Bachelor's Degree in Regular Education and Special Education. Because my own son had learning disabilities, I earned my Master's in Reading. I have worked with the Ro

As a mechanical engineering graduate with 3 years of practical experience in the field, I am constantly curious of the world around me and take great delight in sharing and imparting that knowledge in others. The degree itself grounds me firmly in the math and science worlds - everything from basic skill sets in geometry and HS science to advanced level calculus and physics. Growing up with an English/ESL teacher for a mother and participating in various speaking competitions gives me a good background in English and language arts, both oral and written. I have tutored both as a volunteer and as a paid employee for various offices on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus as well as several programs in New Mexico, this along with growing up with a teacher gives me a good background in teaching skills and tactics.

The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet exciting way has proven the best method for engaging students of all ages. As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement,

Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I have also mentored adolescents in a variety of areas while working as a youth counselor. I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greate
