Law Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in New York, NY

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

I really enjoy teaching because I enjoy seeing the progress with people as they excel in something they thought they would never be able to do. I like working with children because I can make learning fun and interesting to them. I have a lot of experience working with younger children in elementary school all the way up to young adolescents in high school. I have also been a mentor to freshmen in college. My teaching style is very eclectic. I understand that all people learn differently, and I am very open to adapting to the style that works best for them. Ultimately my main goal is to see people succeed and feel good about them selves. Teaching and tutoring comes very natural to me, because I have a lot of patients, and enjoy problem solving with a variety of people. I am a recent college graduate who is very focused and motivated.

I believe that there is no one standardized method to teach, rather each individual is unique in their learning abilities. Therefore, while teaching I often gauge how a student is reacting to the lesson they are being taught. Once I have determined what the best teaching strategy is for that individual, I like to write down in detail what steps were taken to reach that solution. By doing this, the student can use these steps as a guide for reassurance. Finally, I encourage the student to use repetition, thereby building confidence in knowing that they have successfully tackled the issue and can continue to do so in the future. During my time in SUNY Buffalo I took a wide variety of classes which have exposed me to different fields. Specifically, I excelled in those subjects relating to math and writing. As a result of my success, I was able to tutor my peers who were taking those c

First, I believe a successful teacher allows the student to emerge in their individual creativity while grooming the student to play a significant role in a team environment. Second, a teacher must allow for mistakes to be made during the learning process as they are often quite instructive. Third, the most important thing about learning is not just in memorizing factual data for an exam, but in understanding how to apply knowledge to everyday situations. Finally, a good teacher knows where to lovingly apply discipline because a good balance of encouragement and discipline results in mutual respect between teacher and student and teaches the student proper boundaries. After I left corporate America to further my education, I began to realize how much I enjoy academia.

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved. My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me.

As a tutor I strive to learn about my students, and I individualize my instruction accordingly. I work to develop critical thinking skills and self-reflection, and my goals include helping students become self-motivated and independent. I am empathetic and understanding of the unique needs of each student, and am focused on helping my students each find their unique strategies for success. I graduated with honors from New York University and received a master's degree in secondary social studies education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Throughout my undergraduate years I worked as a tutor in elementary school classrooms and as a group leader in middle school educational summer programs.

Working as a Spanish Instructor and Cultural Consultant with the Berlitz School of Languages in Wall Street gave me the opportunity to manage the linguistic training of high profile financial employees, lawyers, journalists and business owners in an international fast-paced work environment. In addition to this work, I previously worked as a bilingual k-6 tutor under the guidelines of the No Child Left Behind Project. When teaching to adults I use the socratic method of argumentative reasoning through questions. When teaching a language I pay attention to the development of the conversational skills of my students. In the case of working with children I use games and technology to persuade the student to learn.

I have a M.S.in Education. I am certified to teach elementary education Pre-K–6 and Business and Distributive Education K-12. I created many math games with playing cards and dice. My students created board games with mathematical equations. To increase fluency, I brought in leveled books on tape for children to read. Students accessed the internet and CD ROMS to reinforce social studies and science topics. I encouraged students to use interactive technological resources to also help increase their mathematics, fluency, and comprehension skills. I created mathematics, reading, and writing rubrics to assess student knowledge. To increase student achievement, I developed and taught an after school program. All children can learn the required curriculum instruction when it is integrated into fun activities. I will help your child progress quickly.I take pride in helping children build conf

By providing the appropriate learning environment and experiences, children can meet their potential. I am easy going, patient, and motivated to help provide the best education.

I enjoy working with all children and would like to help make a difference in your child’s academic success. I believe that a good education paves the path for successful careers. Achieving a level of excellence in school opened up opportunities for me when I first graduated from college in the Accounting program. My dream was to work in the investment banking industry. Based on my academic achievement, I received a job offer to work in a prestigious Wall Street firm.

I am very good with children, I strive to make them understand the material the best way they know how. I can use games, visuals and many more for them to catch on. I feel that the more we help our children today the better our future will be. They are the future and we must strive to educate them by any means neccessary. Education is the key to success, and I want to be able to touch others as it was done to me growing up. There is so much potential out there in our childre; so many doctors, lawyers, scientist,etc but they just need someone to help them reach that. I am the someone to see in these children what they do not see in themselves, because it was done for me.

I love interacting, teaching, and talking to students. My pleasure comes from seeing the bright smile on a child's face when the confidently turn to me to let me know that they understand what I have taught them. I enjoy developing different strategies for a person to understand the material being learned based around their learning approach, whether they are visual or auditory learners. I like to find fun, simple methods to memorize material. I believe that various ways at understanding material make it quicker to master more information in the same amount of time. Extra help from me as a tutor can make a world of a difference as your child proceeds in his/her educational experience.

I have two daughters, two years apart, but only one grade apart. They both do very well academically and embrace the process of learning. At home we focus more on learning and how to search for answers than on simple memorization. I have found that this has given Emma and Claudia an advantage over their peers, as neither are "hung up" on what they remember, but focus on how to use what they've learned and to apply it as a tool in learning increasingly challenging and rewarding concepts. That written, the paths they travel in the searching/learning process are very different and a reflection of each personality. I am very tolerant and have found that appealing to a child's sense of humor is a very important first step to putting them at ease. Temper this encouragement with a consistent standard for success, I have found that all individuals rise to the challenge. Lastly, I strive t

My undergraduate degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree was a foundation for my career in writing, editing and research in the financial communications field. I have learned about the importance of clarity, detail and accuracy in writing. As an editor, I was responsible for reviewing, proofing and suggesting changes to copy on a wide range of subjects. In addition, my early years as a Juvenile Probation officer has taught me about patience and sensitivity when working with the young. I have taught Business Law at the undergraduate level for several semesters. My coaching and assisting my two children during their school years is, I believe also relevant. My guidance has led them to achieve academic success in their undergraduate education.
