Tutor for Regular Elementary and Special Education

I have recently retired after 30+ years as an elementary special and regular education teacher. For the past 15 years I have also worked as a tutor for the city of White Plains. I have done extensive private tutoring for the past 20 years. For 17 years I worked as an elementary special education classroom teacher at New York Hospital in an out-patient day treatment program. This program involved elementary school age children who displayed severe emotional and academic difficulties and were unable to function in a regular school setting.
Multi-sensory, positive reinforcement approach with a focus on student involvment by the use of manipulatives for a hands on approach. I have also employed behavior modification programs in the classroom setting when necessary.

Chess is one of my top subjects!

Teaching through example. I will not do your work for you, but rather show you the roadmap to success and see that you follow the proper steps.
1st 30 min lesson is FREE! Throughout my career and also my time in school, I have always been able to not only achieve success in various levels of mathematics, but also articulate to others through teaching and working through examples so that they can achieve similar success and have a clearer understanding of how to complete their work independently. I also have over 25 years of chess experience, including both playing and teaching. I was taught at the high school level by someone who has coached many individuals and teams to various local, state and national championship victories. I also run an annual Sudoku seminar locally, where I walk through examples of puzzles with full crowd participation, and discuss tips and tricks to ge ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US History at a private boarding middle school in Connecticut but am moving to San Francisco for the summer. I also spent a lot of time in college and high school tutoring students in many subjects.
I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Both my Education and work experiences have thoroughly enhanced both my knowledge, as well as my communications skills. Having a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, I have attained knowledge in various fields of science. I have been gifted with a natural ability to communicate, and my experiences in both work and study have enhanced both my verbal and my written communication skill. Both in college as well in camps, I have had the privilege of tutoring people, primarily in the sciences.
I enjoy helping people acquire knowledge. I have experienced the full spectrum of both poor and excellent instructors myself, so I am aware of what needs to be done in order to facilitate learning. I assess the abilities of each person I work with and develop an approach accordingly. I think that a combination of patience and humor can provide for an outstanding learning environment, and I ... read more

After over decade of classroom teaching and preceding experiences teaching as a manager, I have developed a style that would be considered eclectic, at once rooted in the cognitive behavioral and infused with existentialist expectations. The key element is to reach each unique individual, assessing strengths and weaknesses, and facilitate an atmosphere in which students can find personal success while engaging the group dynamic. I spend a great deal of time examining just what it is I am doing as an educator, how I feel about outcomes and how I can adjust curriculum, practices, and in my case, administrative functioning to better serve my charges. Existing educational practices in no small way determine the modes and methods one uses to engage learners in and out of the classroom. However, teaching style and empathetic relationships to a great extent determine how students are engag ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

An honest teacher can be very effective and productive. If I am honest and open with students they will relate to me as a person. This will allow them to feel comfortable and welcome in my classroom. I am a very caring person. I am also a very caring teacher. I am an effective teacher because I care for my students. This shows in how I share the world of Science with them. The hands-on activities I use in my classroom allow my students to “learn by doing”.
I have studied and worked with people for the majority of my career. I have tutored and taught students for eleven years in the towns of New Britain and Southington, CT. I am a professional and this fact is supported by years of experience in teaching and my career.

More About This Tutor...

I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies.
I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very descriptive and thorough teacher. I enjoy explaining subjects first, then writing examples on the board to encourage note-taking. Then I like students to think of their own examples. I like to ensure that I am very clear in delivering my point, because I know how some students will remain quiet, even if they do not understand completely. If a student struggles to comprehend, and then I move on to the next topic too quickly, it is easy for that student to fall behind. I find it very important for students to hear what I'm talking about, then take notes on the topic, and then offer their own insight. I believe this process improves their ability to think creatively and become active participants in their learning.
I have recently graduated from the M.F.A. program at Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing. I completed my und ... read more

Whether in the environment of education, work or community, leadership and mentoring has always been my focus. My strong educational values were developed throughout my elementary and high school levels, graduating with honors. This level of achievement followed me through College, graduating with honors while I earned a BS degree with a double concentration in financial accounting and business management, including a minor in psychology. I then pursued my MBA degree, achieving an honors grade point average. Computer skills are essential in today’s climate and I can proficiently use Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing this for many years. My classes over the years have ranged from K-6th grade. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's fair to say I get more than I give. Finally, I also teach adult ed as part of my business. My catalog includes not only computer courses but also piano, voice, guitar, and songwriting, as well as any other courses that I feel confident in teaching. I'm also a musician and believe in music, where possible, as part of my teaching philosophy.
People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an ove ... read more

I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no excuse for not trying very hard in school because the main path to success as a young adult is a high school diploma with excellent grades. I am very patient and friendly with students of all abilities.

My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.
I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum.
