A Little Bit About Me...

I teach through an experiential model which means that you will learn by doing as much as possible and I will base new instruction on things you already know. I am a very patient person and will review and reteach as many times as necessary so that you feel confident in your understanding.

I am very patient and encouraging; I believe children can learn anything if you make it fun for them. Getting them to employ good notetaking and study skills will help them to retain the information they are learning. I love working with children and believe that all children have the capacity to learn - but not every child learns in the same way. Therefore, as an educator you have to be creative and try different options for getting them to comprehend the material and to actually enjoy learning.
I am the director of Campus and Corporate Events at SUNYIT as well as the director of the Gannett Art Gallery. I was previously employed at MWPAI arts museum as the coordinator of museum education school programs. I have extensive background in leading programs for children in 4th grade local history; 5th grade american revolution programs, and managed the ArtsReach program for 350 inner c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Once I am assigned a child I initally spend time going over a typical homework assignment to see where they are having some trouble. I get them to read out loud to me to see what their level of reading is. Some kids have problems sounding out the words or with simple rules of grammar. Once I see where they are at then I start bringing in some workbooks to help them in that particular area and apply that to their homework.
Along with my educational background I was a Girl Scout Troup leader for three years and a volunteer for the American Lung Association and American Heart Association. I enjoy working with kids and contacted Barbara Kline of the Utica School District and started working in the Tutoring program with her for four years.

More About This Tutor...

I try to highlight a students strengths and build solid study habits and work patterns. For instance, if a student has trouble focusing on his/her work, I try to push them for short periods of intense study, and then reward them with a break. Since my first degree was completed through an integrated, online program, I stress organizational skills. If I feel that a student is having an issue with organization, I explain to them how much it helps me to organize and then we address the issues they might be having.
Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's degree, I have been exposed to a wide variety of curriculum. I excel in teaching the required level of High School and College level mathematics and also have an aptitude for academic, technical, and narrative writing. I have tutored for the past year at the Center for Academic Support and Excellence at SUNY Cobleskill. We provide ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a licensed CPA with over 20 years of experience in multiple industries. My professional experience in public accounting and auditing prepared me very well for working in private industry. I have numerous years experience in the insurance industry (Statuatory Accounting) followed by several years in hospital administration, physician group management and leadership development. Currently, I am the chief financial officer for a commercial laboratory and very involved in financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting and board reporting.
I like to discuss and communicate how various accounting rules and concepts can be rationalized. If one understands the motivation for the rules they can better anticipate how items should be handled and they are more likely to retain information. Simply memorizing facts and rules doesn't serve students well in the long run and that approach ... read more

My love for teaching and working with children has allowed me to learn a variety of ways to help my students learn. Through the use of audio, visual and tactile manipulatives, my students have had some very exciting experiences and have succeeded in meeting the objectives set for them. I do believe in setting high expectations for each child and my experience has shown me that they rise to the occasion. My decision to become a pedagogue was due to the fact that I had wonderful teachers in my life who were supportive, kind and thoughtful. They inspired me to want to learn more and want to give more. I strive to make a difference in the life of my students also.
As an educator, seeking excellence in the public and private sectors, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with students in Elementary up through Middle and High Schools as a pedagogue and tutor. I have earned my BA i ... read more
