A Little Bit About Me...

I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues. As a private teacher meeting individually with a student for an hour each week, I became the main academic and personal adviser for them. I found all of these contacts to be valuable and personally very rewarding. My students were very successful in the academic world and the performance world and maintained contact with me for years after graduation. I have nothing but fond m ... read more

As a mother of three children as well as a graduate of the New York State University school system, I am an avid reader and a natural proof reader. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and have attended classes in Elementary Education toward a Master's Degree. In addition, I have learned extensive patience working with children, my own included, and those children i have helped tutor privately. I also took Spanish for five years with honors and in addition i took Italian in college and have a propensity for foreign languages.
I love to work with children and excel at discovering what works best with each child. I have the ability to connect with children and make them feel at ease. This sets the stage for easier learning and less frustration. I not only make the students comfortable but their parents as well. Oftentimes, someone who is not related can teach e ... read more

All children are diverse learners. All children learn differently, and no two are alike. Good instruction includes fitting the lesson according to the learner. Tutoring a child who is a book learner is different than a child who needs visuals or manipulatives. Some children need academics tied into real life experiences. My teaching style includes designing instruction according to individual student needs in order to enhance their learning. I am a patient teacher and believe that all children are capable of great success if given the right tools and formatted instruction.
As a certified teacher I taught for 3 years in inner city Phoenix. I worked with diverse cultures needing strong literary support. A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 rec ... read more

More About This Tutor...

One of the advantages of my background is the variety of people I have worked with. Regardless of different cultures, races, socioeconomic backgrounds and ages, I have the unique ability to connect with people in a language they understand. I utilize this ability to teach by analogy, as many of the things I teach and tutor others on involve complex subjects that the student usually has no direct experience in. When not applicable (such as instructing a student in grammar usage), the other method is to encourage students to learn by doing while I coach, encourage, and draw out thoughtful answers along the way.
As a lifelong student of the humanities and English, I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and helping others. As a result, whenever and wherever I have been, whether in academia, work environments, or with friends and family, I have sought to apply what I kn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Hi, I'm Kobi.I have 7 full years of educating behind me.I was teaching classes and groups during my B.A studies for annual projects and for a private - tutoring company like yours. Since 2008 I own "highway" a private tutoring company in Israel- now ran by a partner. I have tutored mostly Maths and English but I'm capable of teaching any other subjects for low graders.Of course, Hebrew can always come into consideration- it's my home language.
I think that my teaching experience speaks for itself.. I'm capable of working with all ages.. preferring teenagers because I like bigger challenges. I'm patient,easy going o one hand but firm with homework\tasks on the other hand.I'm a great believer in leading the student to the answer rather than telling it. I believe that the fact that I'm the founder of a tutoring company in Israel gave me the ability to criticize&improve my work m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children because I believe that every child has the ability to learn. I understand that each child learns in a unique way and my goal is to discover the best method, environment and pace at which your child learns. I am here to give every student the opportunity to realize their potential and strive for success in education. I am easy going, caring, creative and motivated. I have a flexible schedule and am dedicated to giving your child the education they deserve.
I have always had a passion for education. Coming from a large family, I was always helping my younger siblings with their homework and teaching "school" in my mom's study on the weekends. I attended the rigorous International Baccalaureate program at my high school and moved away from home to attend a prestigious liberal arts college. After graduating from Smith College in May I moved to Boston to wor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support. I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal.
My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary ed ... read more

I would be happy to assist students with any courses necessary, as I am confident I can help them learn. I possess strong interpersonal skills which would allow the student to feel very comfortable learning with me. I would like to make the learning experience as fun as possible by using worksheets, visual aids, and any other activities that would assist in the student learning their material.
As an undergraduate, I spent nearly three years assisting groups of students with how to learn content for the historically difficult courses of College Chemistry I and II. I have my BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology, which permitted me to learn and acquire a great understanding in multiple areas. These areas include biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, algebra, statistics, and beginning and intermediate levels of Spanish . In February 2011, I will be finished my MBA in Healthcare Managem ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Before I became a teacher in Philadelphia, I tutored in a private tutoring agency in Florida (where I was working on my undergraduate degree). That was my first experience with tutoring and I loved it. I liked being able to give individual attention to a student after he or she had spent all day in the classroom. I especially liked seeing a student's confidence increase after we worked together. For the last ten years, I was a classroom teacher for high school math in Philadelphia. During that time, I continued to find tutoring work – either through an agency or through private clients. Whether in the classroom or in a one-on-one session, I love to teach students.
It is easy to talk at a student about how to do a problem. But experience has shown me that this rarely works. Initially, it is important that I learn as much as I can about how the student is doing with the topic involve ... read more

For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three years working and volunteering at the Ithaca Youth Bureau with children of various ages in both a tutoring and non-tutoring. As a recent graduate from Ithaca College with a BA in Biology and concentrations in Mathematics and Anthropology, I feel highly qualified and enthusiastic to assist your student. While math and biology were my most prominent subjects in college, I also enjoyed and excelled at writing for both the sciences and the humanities. With a diverse set of skills, I am eager to work with your student.
My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volun ... read more
