A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is interactive, many of my former students would characterize it as "coaching". I always empower the student to find their way and to have them become "pros" in the learning process. I do not do the work for them, but I show them how they can make their tasks and finishing them more efficient. I am a firm believer in the philosophy that edication is not preparation for life, it is life itself. Experience is key.
Over 13 years of working with students that were not scholars initially. After learning skills to improve their educational/learning experience, they became more scholarly, and enjoyed learning. This is key. They just need to change their perspective, and learn how to make "learning" enjoyable, like it was in kindergarden.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten.

As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will serve students not only in the classroom, but throughout their lives. In my experience, I have become well-versed in student-centered curriculum development programs, including Understanding by Design, which I have employed extensively in my own lesson planning with gratifying results. I have also been trained in, and have been implementing, the new Common Core Standards for over a year. My student teaching and observations in New York City public schools as well as my current tenured position in an inner city school district have provided me with valuable exposure to diverse classroom atmospheres and have allowed me to develop effective classroom management strategies. This range of both academic and practical classroom experience lends a bala ... read more

I am a veteran teacher with 18 years experience in teaching students with disabilities. I have taught in public, private, and youth facilities ages from 5-21. My expertise is in Austism and ADHD learners. I am also a certified art educator so my approach to learning and teaching is "hands on" experiences. I create my own materials designed for the individual learner.

As a graduate of the University of Michigan with a bachelors in History I feel that I have more than adequate educational experience to tutor students of not only History but also English, Reading, and Writing given their status as essential elements to my study of history. Furthermore my life experience in sales, hospitality, undergraduate research, and with education as an after-school teaching assistant in the New York Public School system has left me well rounded and a great communicator. I feel that I have a strong impact both in terms of building relationships and in connecting people with knowledge and ideas.
As someone who felt in my youth that if I could only pay attention I could learn anything has taught me how to break down the barriers to focus and how it can shape a students success in any discipline. Focusing on my learning style has taught me how to demonstrate comp ... read more

I will fit my teaching to the client. If a student learns with visuals, I will use visuals. If a student is an aural learner, I will cater to that side. I am very flexible and take direction very well. I have taken a year or more of each language I am qualified to tutor. The languages are Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. I also lived in Italy for a couple of months, in the Northern region. So I have real world experience speaking the language.
I have recently graduated from Purchase College with an Undergraduate degree in Music with a minor in English. During School I tutored students in English composition and edited students essays and papers during the entirety of my undergraduate education. I have also taught voice and music theory to students privately. In High-school I scored a 97 percent out of 100 on the English regents exam. I recently received a full ... read more

As a "late in life" graduate of Fordham University, I received permanent Teaching Certification and continued to teach in a public school district for 5 years. I was then offered an amazing opportunity to bring a non-profit pre-school and daycare back to fruition which I accomplished in under a year. Having left the pre-school after an ownership change, I have found myself desiring to go back to my real passion - teaching. I also have over 20 years of Business and marketing experience working as a Communications and marketing Director in Mid-town Manhattan.
I am an energetic, enthusiastic teacher who loves to teach children and adults of all ages. I enjoy challenging my students with fun projects and activities that get creative juices flowing and make learning fun!

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with students and education has been a part of my life for about 11 years. I first began doing so in high school, around 1999 working as a volunteer with the YMCA. Eventually I became a counselor and would work my way up to Camp Director. I am proud to say that I am the first of my family to attend a University. Currently I am a senior at Cuny Lehman College in the Bronx, NY where I study English Literature and minor in Secondary Education. Recently I have just returned from studying at the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras. The year abroad helped me to better understand my culture and gain a stronger grip on my native language. I believe education is truly the key to success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and encouraging. I have a talent for identifying how people learn. It is important to know what works with people in order to dail into the proper approach. Some people can read and immediately understand. Others need the repetition of hands-on experience. Some need memory tricks like "Mickey Mouse" for spelling "accoMModate" or "seize the weird sheik at your Leisure" for remembering exceptions to the "i-before-e" rule. On writing, I have had reporters mired in a fact-filled story actually write single sentences, each containing one fact. Then, I've had them order the facts. I am patient in helping people organize thoughts. I help people collect and organize information and to present it

In addition to 3 years of experience working in a pre-school, I also have tutoring experience with people of all ages in various subjects. In 2003, I earned Bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Psychology. In 2006, I earned my Master's degree in Business Administration. I wrote and defended a 50+ page thesis to complete this program. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. I have excellent writing, grammar, spelling and proofreading skills.
I have worked with many different types of children and adults. I've found that each person responds differently to different styles of teaching and I am able to adapt to each individual's needs. My first objective is finding what teaching style a person responds to best to and formulating a plan for them next. The parts of my teaching style that remain constant are encouraging independent study, being direct, and pushing each ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students of many ages having a wide range of interests, strengths, and needs and I would like to continue providing encouragement and assistance to others on an individual basis. I have always enjoyed writing and sharing ideas and strategies with students. Throughout my years of classroom teaching, natural history, biographical studies, arts, crafts, and literature have provided content for lessons and have helped many students begin and complete their writing projects. Much of my focus has been to help others find a connection to subject matter and make learning authentic, useful, and meaningful.

More About This Tutor...

I am a trained Science Teacher specializing in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have over twelve years of High School teaching experience where I prepared students for external exams in Chemistry, Physics and Biology in my native country of Jamaica. The success rate was over 90%. I have tutored both adults (preparing for their GED and LPN exams in Math and English) and young adults (preparing for college exams) during the last four years.
Teaching is a skill that I have mastered and I have been successful at finding a fun way of getting students to learn. I like to introduce activities that are practical to the subject so the student understands the concept and therefore have a better understanding of the topic being covered. I am available to help anyone who needs help in finding academic success. I am patient, considerate and will use all available resources to get the stu ... read more
