Marketing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lockport, NY

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

Every child can learn given a respectful environment wherein he or she has a teacher who will take the time to understand his or her individual learning style as well as what motivates him or her. I believe that the learning process involves inquiry, engagement, collaboration, and reflection with the spirit of inquiry being the foundation of all learning. I believe in setting up students for success. I strive to help students succeed academically along with maintaining an excitement about learning. During the last five years, I have tutored students of all ages from elementary to undergraduates in college. I have a Masters in Childhood Education.

Teaching is such a rewarding experience. It is an amazing feeling when you help a student learn something that they previously had been struggling with. My goal is to help the student by becoming interested in the material. If the student is interested in the material, they will have a better chance of learning it. I hope I can have the opportunity to make a difference in many students lives. I have an Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor degree in Mathematics Education. I was a math tutor and math teaching assistant at Daemen College. I completed two student teaching placements in mathematics classrooms during my education. I also completed a volunteer experience at Seneca Babcock Preschool where I aided the teacher in helping the children learn colors and numbers. When I was a senior in high school, I taught Spanish to 2nd graders for a semester long project.

I am a firm believer in student-centered lessons and learning by doing. I have always felt that kids would rather do something than watch me do something. It is of utmost importance that I always establish a good rapport with as many students as possible. I feel that my real strengths with regards to education lies in my ability to work extremely well with students in a one-on-one setting. It is no secret that each individual student has their own way of learning. I feel that I am adept at discovering their preferred way of learning and using that method most effectively in a one-on-one setting. It is my priority to not only help kids learn, but inspire them as well. As a graduate from an accredited business school, I have gained a high level of expertise in fields such as Business Administration, Finance, and Economics. Immediately after graduation in 2005, I gained valuable experience

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. I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them achiev

Throughout my career in business and education I have always loved and appreciated the opportunity to teach and to mentor. I have worked in several college and vocational school departments including teaching, financial aid counseling, registrar, student affairs, career placement, curriculum development, instructor assessments and evaluations, academic advising, and the college selection process. I have also owned and managed a business, served as a management consultant, and a sales and marketing manager. My diverse background and love of helping others learn and to be successful are the passions which motivate me. The very first task is to assess the student's age and learning style. Once this is determined I select the teaching style to best accomodate the student's needs. Although I have used Expert and Formal formats, I prefer to incorporated Personal and Facilitator styles.

I have been substitute teaching steadily for the past several months and enjoy it immensely. My past 18 years experience in business as a telecommunications manager along with my education has given me extensive writing skills in writing reports, memos, and business plans, as well as keeping my technical expertise up to date. I have done some mentoring through work, and am presently looking to become a full time educator, as I feel I can make an excellent contribution to any students life-long learning. I have only been substitute teaching but have found tremendous joy in helping students realize their potential in all areas of their lives. From the troubled students at an altenative school, to advanced students taking ap courses,I believe not only should there be no student left behind, as well as no student held back. I have been complimented on my teaching style, in which I listen to
