Certified Teacher with a variety of experiences.

I have been teaching and tutoring for many years. I have tutoring experience for students in grades 1,2,3,and 5. I have teaching experience in Special Education and Elementary Education in grades K,1,2,4, and 5. I began my career as a teacher's assistant. I taught second grade for 2 years. I currently teach 5th grade. My student teaching was completed at all grade levels with a concentration in k-2 and 4-5.
My teaching style depends on the student I am working with. Teaching is about working with the student in the way that works best for them. I hold my students to high expectations that I know they are capable of reaching. I think it is important for students to identify their goals to help them determine their educational path.

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Arizona State University. The field of industrial engineering draws much from statistics. Therefore a large portion of the curriculum is comprised of statistics courses. I have a background in basic statistics, regression analysis, data mining, design of experiments, statistical forecasting, and quality control. During my master’s program I taught a weekly session for the undergraduate course, statistics for engineers. I also provided one on one tutoring during a teaching assistantship for an undergraduate business course which taught operations research basics.
I believe that understanding statistics is not beyond the grasp of any student. The first step lies in understanding the underlying principles. Once this is grasped, only practice is needed to give the student the degree of confidence needed to ... read more

I love tutoring and working with children to young adults. The internet provides a lot of information but the joy of going to the library to discover new worlds, knowledge or just for the fun of it is still a worthwhile venture. I have tutored students who truly abhored reading but when we read about New York City and took them to the places of interest we studied and it truly got them excited about the next book. My methods are varied but consistent. I teach outdoors weather permitting on field trips and with themes to keep the child interested and wanting to read and learn.
As a mother of 16 yr old twins, I have always been a tutor in reading, english and literature. I got my degree in English/Art/Art Therapy/Literature as a result of my love for the written word and regarding books as our passport to the world around us near and far. I have learned the skills and applied ... read more

I was trained well by the Literacy volunteers of America. I believe that my style is to help the student with repetition, while still making learning fun, via conversation and connecting the importance of what is being learned to every day life.
Practiced for years as an attorney for NYS. Semi-retired now. I have also been a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) in Albany, NY. I met with a Korean graduate student at U. Albany and helped him learn English. I am also able to help in foreign language tutoring with German and French.

I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance. I have adopted many evidence-based practices with respect to effective teaching. I have strong organizational skills. I believe that in establishing consistent guidelines at the outset and stating the importance of every activity, I will demonstrate to my students respect for their presence and time. It is my objective that each student will learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing enviro ... read more

After graduating from Binghamton University, I worked for a short time as a bookkeeper. Then I worked for New York State for 25 years in the fields of auditing, internal auditing, and accounting. I performed a variety of duties while working as an accountant including supervising staff. As an internal auditor I the day-to- day operations of an internal audit unit. I have also been a self-employed professional income tax preparer of the past 23 years.
I enjoy helping people to achieve their potential and nothing makes me more happy than to see someone learn something and get a good grade or to do the task on their own without any help. My style is that I try to let the student figure out the solutions to whatever problem they are working on on their own but I will be there to help them if they run into to problems. I will show at first what they need to do and know before I leave to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Though applicable to any subject, for science and math I adhere to the inquiry method. I'm believe in the teacher finding something interesting in what is being taught, asking leading questions with which the students answer, and having the students learn through their answers. Lecturing is my least favorite method, and I believe the least effective.
I have tutored and did substitute teaching in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics at several local schools. I have taken several graduate courses in education including classes in methods and adolescence physiology. My philosophy of education is "Everyone is capable of learning something about anything as long as it's taught in a way that the student understands." These are my own words and I firmly believe them. Currently I teach adults in square dancing and social dancing. I also have a student with Literacy Volunteers of A ... read more

I am passionate about teaching maths and physics as I am confidant in teaching them and I have enthusiasm and drive in solving problems from my past experience. I have 2 years of tutoring experience in SUNY Albany EOP where I helped the students who faced challenges in solving maths and physics problems. It was really exciting and fun in tutoring the undergrads at UAlbany.
As a maths teacher I am very flexible to students needs. I care about each student's learning ability and the challenges they face. Definitely I can make a difference in students understanding the subject as I love to tutor. I will try to understand where the student is actually facing the challenge. And finally as fundamentals are key to success I would focus on them repeatedly.

My teaching style involves the introduction and application of the concepts to people in such way that they can apply, not by memorization. The presentation of additional problem sets, examples related to the school level they are working are fundamental to transmit efficiently the concepts. At the end of each training or class, I normally summarize and double-check with the trainee or students that the entire concepts taught were clear and all expectations are met.
I am a Ph. D. Organic Chemist with experience in synthesis of organic compounds from laboratory to commercial plant. During my entire career, a considerable part of my work included training of personnel at all education levels (from HS to Ph. D. level) and involved the presentation of scientific work to the academic and business community at all levels. This kind of training is related with organic chemistry, safety an ... read more

I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to help a student figure out how to learn and approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. Sometimes what a child needs most is to simply understand that he or she is capable of achieving. Instilling self-affirmation is an extremely important part of teaching, and that would be my goal in working with your child.
I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the fi ... read more
