Latin is one of my top subjects! I have four semesters of college Latin and a B.A. in Classics.

I am someone who understands that not all children learn effectively the same way. I am someone who will sit down with my student and ask them questions regarding how they learn and how they do not learn. Sometimes a student will not know how they learn effectively but they will know what does not work for them. From there I try to tailor a program to suit that student. As a tutor you are able to have that one on one time and you can design your instructions for a specific student therefore making your teaching more effective.
While pursuing a double degree from the University at Buffalo and working part-time, I worked in peer tutoring groups for Latin and writing. I have experience proof reading papers and correcting grammar. My four semesters of college Latin have given me a understanding of English language origins and modern usages. Latin also helps me to use punctuation and gr ... read more

I offer students a patient listening ear so I can encourage their strengths and understand their weaknesses. Often by asking questions, doing practice problems and just listing to the student's logic, I can tweak their thought process so they better understand the material. I am so proud of a student who begins to understand something they thought was too difficult. If a student has a willingness to learn I can share techniques to make learning easier. I help students develop a step-by-step process they can apply to each type of problem. I find that using charts and tables can help to organize complex problems. Even a wrong answer often gets partial credit if the work shown is neat and the teacher can follow the student's logic.
I am committed to achieving excellence in education and helping others to do so too. For four years I tutored Accounting, Statistics and other college math ... read more

I have a great deal of customer service experience working for both M&T Bank and Key Bank. I excelled in Reading and English subjects throughout school, reading multiple grade levels ahead of myself. I was a writer for Nardin Academy's newspaper and also for Canisius College's newspaper. I have teaching experience in home instruction in flute and piano.
I love teaching and helping children learn. My philosophy is that you have to make this information that your children are learning relatable to what they are going through. If you do this children will enjoy learning. I feel that it is also to make sure that you are helping children learn in a fun, yet productive environment.

More About This Tutor...

In college, I tutored kids K-5 on primarily their reading skills. However, I also asked them if they needed any help with any other subject and what material was covered. From this I would put together study outlines from their notes and textbook. This allowed me to know ahead of time what should be emphasized. Also, when teaching a biology field to a more mature individual, I find that reading up on the material actually emphasizes my passion for the field. There also have been times I have made up mnemonics for certain biology topics, whether it is a rhyme, story, or parody of a song. I find that it makes learning the material easier and more enjoyable. My friends always have enjoyed them as the mnemonics always can create a laugh.
I have a very strong passion for learning and teaching various topics within Biology, such as studying genetics, microbiology, immunology, bioc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an infectious disease researcher, I have applied skills obtained since high school. My chemistry and biology skills were necessary to make bases, induce parasite inoculations, and process my data by ELISAs, DNA Extractions, Chromatography, Crystallography, and PCRs. My grammatical skills were essential for laboratory proposals, reports, and presentations. I have tutored high schools students in many areas of need, as a PEPP tutor, but have concentrated on biology, chemistry, and math.
Teaching is a skill that requires flexibility. As a college student, I have tried many different studying techniques and have succeeded in finding one suitable for my style. Teaching requires different styles and techniques until one is successful. I have observed that the "fun facts" taught by professors are what are most remember able. I am more than happy to try different teaching skills ... read more
