I spent much of my time helping others to improve in many areas of life. I just graduated from graduate school to obtain a masters degree in counseling services. This has provided me with the certification required to work in a school as a guidance counselor. While attending graduate school I continued my coaching at the 7th and 8th grade level as a head wrestling coach and two years (1 yr JV) coaching football. I have also spent the past four years as a substitute teacher for all ages and subjects. I have also been a private tutor in which I provided instructional support for students individually in academics, as well as improving self-concept, goal setting, coping mechanisms, and social and organizational skills. I pride myself on helping to create and improve a vast array of skills while providing the students with a strong foundation of what it takes to be life-long learners. I beli

My teaching style reflects the need for students to be proud of their own work. They need to believe they are capable of great things. I am firm but caring when working with children. I believe the proper balance of structure and nurture can create a welcoming learning environment. As I work with students, I tune in to what they know, what they don’t know, and what they need to know in order to give them a truly custom experience. I am a NYS Certified teacher in Childhood Education (1-6). I have been substituting for one and a half years, and I enjoy it very much. I am halfway through my Master’s program in Literacy at SUNY Oswego. I love working with children, especially in the areas of literacy and math. I have a 5 ½ year old son of my own whom I have helped to become a strong reader. Whether it be for enrichment purposes or getting your child on grade-level, I can give your c

While attending Syracuse University I tutored classmates in both philosophy and English, emphasizing writing and analytical skills while suggesting strategies for breaking down and understanding the difficult language of critical and philosophical texts. Furthermore, I helped students learn and understand effective editing both for content and grammar to improve their argumentation skills for essays and presentations. In addition to tutoring college students, I tutor my five nieces and nephews (informally) who range in age from four years old to thirteen years old. I currently hold a Dual Degree from Syracuse University having graduated Magna Cum Laude. While I do explain procedures as thoroughly as I am able, I attempt to have students flesh out their ideas through their own process. It is my belief that the student must learn to accomplish things independently in order to be su

I have had two practicum rotations thus far. My first rotation was at C. W. Baker High School, in Baldwinsville, NY. This was a 10th grade, level one Global Studies classroom. I assisted with group activites, and helping students connect the information they were currently learning to prior knowledge. My second rotation was at Grant Middle School, in Syracuse, NY. This is a 7th grade (begining US history) classroom. During this time I taught several lessons, created and administered a pre-test, as well as work one-one with several students that had IEP's and lower literacy levels. My teaching style is a hands-on-approach. I don't want students to just learn and memorize history; but to enjoy it and see how it relates to their own lives. I use visual, verbal, and tactical aids with each of my lessons. I also strive to include everyone culturally and literally (i.e. if they have IEP's or l

I am dedicated to teaching and enhancing students' ability to learn. I have two masters degrees, MSed in education K-12 reading and MST in Elementary Education. This has allowed me to possess a diversity of teaching backgrounds including a research based computer program called read 180 which consists of small group instruction. I planned and implemented daily lessons for the program. I also was assigned as an Academc Intervention Services classroom teacher working with 3rd, and 6th-8th grade students. I truly believe in lifelong learning. I take every opportunity to increase my own professional development. As a teacher I like to adapt my teaching style to students individualized abilities. I like to share my experiences with students. Students have a better understanding when you share real world experiences with them.

My previous experiences provide a unique benefit in the classroom. I do not only have the science knowledge but I bring real world practicality of the material being taught. Students will relate with the realism of how science affects their daily life. During my student teaching placements I have made it my mission to not only teach the curriculum but to help establish study skills that will help students in all areas of their education. I also acknowledge that as a teacher my own educational journey is continuing. I thrive on researching the best strategies to present information to appeal to all learners. I bring a great deal of enthusiasm into the classroom and my passion for science is contagious. I have earned my bachelors degree in Biotechnology. I will be finishing my masters in education May 16, 2010. I am pending a teaching certification in Chemistry and Biology which s

I have taught in many areas of study. Since I was young, I taught my younger family members the importance of manners, honesty, care, and responsibility. I believe this has carried into my real-life career as a teacher. I have taught at schools such as Hope Hall in Rochester, NY and Lemoyne Elementary in Syracuse, NY. There I helped my students with their basic subject courses during their class time period. I have taught dance at Kami's Kix Dance Studio which has helped me to gain stronger classroom management skills as well as gaining a thicker patience. I am currently attending SUNY Oswego and in 2011 will graduate with a BA in Childhood Education. You can preach all you want to children, but if you don't teach, there will be no learning. I believe that children will learn from someone they trust to talk to and from someone who they trust to give them the correct answers to their que

I truly enjoy inspiring people to love learning! I engage students in their studies in creative ways to connect with their interests. I get to know my learners in order to bridge any gaps that they may have experienced. I work collaboratively with parents, students and their educators to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled. I act as a coach, as well as a cheerleader for my students, and help them to experience the joy of learning! I have had the privilege to teach English at the secondary and college levels. I have tutored in various capacities both in a private tutorial and public, small group setting. I have also participated as a mentor in the New York State Mentoring Program, as well as a volunteer in the Syracuse University conversational English group working with people from China.

My extensive experience in different subjects and venues has engendered in me an adaptive teaching style. I am very comfortable teaching in both a classroom setting as well as one-to-one. I truly believe that the key to learning is proper motivation. Rather than giving answers to a student who is having difficulties, I prefer to guide students, prodding them along in the right direction with directed prompts. My goal is to have a student retain what he or she has learned from going over a particular subject rather than simply memorize and immediately discard. I have worked the past two semesters as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. In the fall, I taught a weekly section of 14 students in Introductory Nutrition and this past semester, I instructed a lab group of 10 students in Human Anatomy and Physiology.

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

It is very important to me that my students have fun while they are learning. Much of my teaching is done through games and hands-on experiences. I also firmly believe in the use of technology (computers) to help teach and reinforce concepts being taught. Every child has strengths and it is important to build upon those strengths. I am currently a sixth grade teacher at a Catholic Elementary School. I have been with the same school for the past 14 years. My experience there has been in the following grade levels: Pre-School, First Grade, Fourth Grade, Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade Math & Science, and Eighth Grade Math & Science. I have also tutored students in grades three through six in both reading and mathematics.

I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-time at the age of fourteen. This gave a great opportunity to pursue a wide variety of interests and still graduate slightly ahead of my peers. As a result I had almost completed the requirements for majors in several subjects, including chemistry, German, music and the subject I received my degree in, biology. In addition to taking courses in these subjects, I was able to work as a German tutor for over a year and as a teaching assistant for two sections of first semester organic chemistry. I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familiar to t

I recognize the importance of a dynamic teaching style- one that adjusts depending on both the subject matter and the student. I am very experienced with addressing procrastination and anxiety. A patient, encouraging, and directed atmosphere is a great aid in learning. Tutoring should take away the distractions of the classroom to enable the student to learn one-on-one, to solidify what is taught in school. I have the tools to help your child succeed, and would love to share in their academic successes. As a recent graduate of the Rutgers-Newark University Honors College, I hold a B.A. in Biology and plan to continue my education in the future. As a member of the Honors College I was exposed to the most rigorous English Literature and History courses, which enabled me to hone my writing skills. In addition, I have extensive experience in the Biological Sciences. While earning my de
