Thanks for reading my profile. I have tutored French and Spanish at my community college. I have conducted "baby groups" for children 6 mo. - 1 yr in a multi-lingual center for children where I worked in Moscow for three years. I have taught groups of adults English as a Second Language at Inlingua language school in DC. I have taught middle school Russian and Critical Thinking, and college first year Russian while in graduate school. I have worked with children ages 4-10 one-on-one in their homes on a freelance basis, during which time I managed multiple clients and did this full time for an incredibly satisfying profession. Overall I have a rich experience of in a variety of settings. I have a goofy, hands-on style. I try to make it fun. I am very strict, however, when it comes to grammar, respect, and completing proposed tasks. Obviously I have different styles for adults and children

Darlene S - Corning, NY 14830 (19 mi) - Composition Tutor - $50.00/hr.
A requirement for completion of my Education degree was to student teach for one semester. I completed my student teaching at both a high school and a middle school. During that time, I also provided some one-on-one help for students who were struggling in their every day classroom assignments. As a graduate with a degree in Adolescence English Education, I am familiar with homework assignments and what students need in order to be successful ELA learners. I believe that students learn best when they are able to use a variety of I believe it is necessary to access prior learning in order to know where to begin the learning process. Then I believe it is necessary for students to participate in both guided practice as well as independent practice in order to assess whether or not they have a working knowledge of the material that is being taught. I also believe in using both formative

Karen C - Corning, NY 14830 (19.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $50.50/hr.
For the past two years I have worked at Corning Incorporated teaching Scientist with English as a second language. In this role, I assessed individuals with presentation, writing, and spoken communication difficulties, identified skills in need of improvement and developed an educational plan to build these skills. As part of Corning's people development initiative, it was my role to coach departmental employees to develop a standardized format, understand report and presentation structure, and improve their grammatical writing skills. This included training individual writers and presenters on effective communication strategies by understanding their target audience to develop an effective message. I also have 17 years experience in communications, including print and broadcast media, web management, corporate presentations, Scientific Editing and Technical Writing. Familiar and ex

As a parent of two children ages 3 and 8 i have had first hand experience in tutoring and teaching. I have also worked at Head Start for 5 years. During this time I have gained an extensive amount of experience and knowledge of teaching basic math skills, reading, and Grammatical skills.

I have a great understanding for English and reading and believe that literacy is the most important aspect of life for all people. I love to work with children of all ages. It is the most rewarding job, watching the children grow and learn. I love being part of the learning process and the way children get so excited when they learn a new skill or master one they have been trying hard to achieve. I believe that all children learn differently and as a teacher it is important to find what

Helen C - Pine City, NY 14871 (23.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have recently

Karen F - Wellsville, NY 14895 (33.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I believe that teaching needs to be tailored to the student. We all possess the ability to learn; sometimes we just need guidance in "how" to learn. I am dedicated to finding that "how" with the student, and translating that into an atmosphere where the student will succeed. I am creative, energetic, and love to make learning fun. I will use every resource possible, in order to make the most of each student's learning. I am an alumni of Alfred University, with my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, concentration in clinical/counseling. For the past two years, I have been a graduate student in the Criminology Department of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have extensive field experience with mental health consumers, minority and criminal populations. I am dedicated to stength-based plans for overcoming barriers to success. My experience also shows a proven commitment to help

Mark M - Watkins Glen, NY 14891 (35.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $49.00/hr.
Since April 2007, I have been a substitute teacher at both the Watkins Glen High School and Middle School. Frequent subjects include English, Psychology, and Physical Education. I belong to a writers group which meets at the local library every first and third monday. I belong to a chess club that meets at a coffee shop every Thursday. I also assistant coach varsity and college soccer during the spring and fall seasons. I believe that education should present as much material to the student as possible, which includes using various textbooks, lecture, and inquiry. After that, it will be up to the student to assess and construct the information given in order to form his/her own opinion about the subject matter. True education and learning is ownership of the subject matter which comes through effort and discipline and a little bit of guidance.

Mark J - Linden, PA 17744 (37.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I believe in Constructivism, whereby rudimentary skills are continually built upon; a combination of rote learning and discovery-based learning built upon a mastery of previously-learned concepts, plus testing in real-world scenarios to activate within the student the ability to apply learning through analysis and thought coupled with experimentation. As one who holds a Bachelor's and Master's in the arts, I believe in the power of exploratory learning. However, as one who has spent considerable time working in computers and networking, I value the attainment of hard knowledge. When the two are combined according to a student's particular learning modality(ies), then learning become meaningful and accelerated.
In my professional career I was largely self-taught. My success depended upon my ability to learn new concepts based upon my current knowledge set, and to continue growing on th

Bryan Y - Dundee, NY 14837 (41.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I feel it is important to understand what is different and unique about every student. Not all students will learn in the same way, nor will they find their desire to learn in the same way. I feel it is my duty as a teacher to find what these ways are for every student. Differentiation is vital to the learning process and can only be executed effectively if you know your students. In high school I tutored junior high students who were having trouble in with school. After high school I joined the U.S Navy, where I trained junior personal for three years. I used my G.I bill Benefits to attend the University of Connecticut, where I received my Bachelors in History with a minor in Political Science. I stayed at the UConn to complete my Masters in Education where I complete 15 weeks of student teaching. Most recently I have worked as a substitute teacher at both the middle and high school l
