More About This Tutor...

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal.
Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe tha ... read more

Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she needs to meet. Then, having determined what it is reasonable to accomplish, I work through repetitive assignments and increasingly complex examples to raise the student’s standard of satisfaction and equip him/her with the critical skills necessary to recognize where his work succeeds and where it does not. My approach is interactive and designed to satisfy the student’s aspiration for independent achievement and confident self-assessment.
Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate ef ... read more

After graduating from Cornell University in May of 2009, I was hired as a legislative assistant in the New York State Senate where I write press releases, columns, letters, and speeches as well as correspond with various state and federal agencies on a daily basis. Throughout my experiences I have learned to write and communicate in clear and direct terms and believe that I have the knowledge and ability to assist any student in achieving their goals. As a martial arts instructor for 3 years, I developed unique tools to motivate and teach discipline to students of all ranks, ages, and ability levels. I believe these same principles can be applied to teaching any subject matter.
My teaching style revolves around patience. No one can learn overnight and no one who is struggling already can work under pressure. It is vital to cultivate a strong and positive attitude toward the subjec ... read more

The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet exciting way has proven the best method for engaging students of all ages.
As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I have also mentored adolescents in a variety of areas while working as a youth counselor.
I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no ... read more

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high degree Masters program but feel I need to have a job to justify the repayment(s) of additional student loans that would be needed to finish my MA. I have recently been a four county advocate for people with special needs as the Disabilities Program Navigator. I would still hold this position if funding had not run out. I have the abilities to work with any level of education.

Since a classroom is filled with students who have different learning styles as described by Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, I use a variety of ways to teach. Lectures are done through power point presentations, along with worksheets and handouts. Hands-on has been used in anatomy and physiology classes. Adult learners bring a lot of experiences to the classroom, and sharing and discussing brings a different perspective. Role playing helps students to look at a situation for another's point of reference. I tried to get students to determine the best way he/she learned in order to use that style when completing assignments or studying.
Students can learn at any point in their lives, and understanding the needs of adult learners, gave me the opportunity to help students create goals and develop a plan to achieve an education that would bring those goals to fruition. I ... read more

My underlying belief and philosophy is that all students can learn, and should be allowed to do so in the environment that best suits their own particular learning style. I have a vast knowledge of teaching and learning, and a strong sense of what good teaching looks like. I have developed my own easy going, student centered, and hands-on approach to teaching, and design lessons that answer the inevitable question from students, “When am I ever going to use this stuff?” This simple question drives me as I plan and carry out these lessons, and allows students to actually use what they are learning in the context of real life situations and settings.
In my 23 years as a teacher and administrator, I have been involved in all aspects and levels of education including teaching all grades K-12, instructional and curriculum leadership, professional development, building management, comm ... read more
