More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and helping children learn. My philosophy is that you have to make this information that your children are learning relatable to what they are going through. If you do this children will enjoy learning. I feel that it is also to make sure that you are helping children learn in a fun, yet productive environment.
I have a great deal of customer service experience working for both M&T Bank and Key Bank. I excelled in Reading and English subjects throughout school, reading multiple grade levels ahead of myself. I was a writer for Nardin Academy's newspaper and also for Canisius College's newspaper. I have teaching experience in home instruction in flute and piano.

A Little Bit About Me...

My background in music performances in a school setting has taught me to be able to connect with a student in a very direct and honest manner. Each student is different with different strengths and weaknesses and my first job is to understand the needs of this individual student. I then begin to help the student address their needs and start learning. My experience in one-on-one music lessons also helps me to connect in a similar academic tutoring session.
I have ten years experience teaching at the college undergraduate level at Canisius College, and five years at Hilbert College. I have been teaching Music History and Music Appreciation classes and always put the music into the social context in which it was produced. I have also taught World Music and Afro-Centric classes and again, place the content in its social context. Prior to this I had a number of years teaching Social ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education has always been a priority in my life. During my four years as an undergraduate student, I created a major that covered a breadth of areas including psychology,biology,chemistry, math,and physics. I also have a passion for English. I have assisted PhD students in research as well as conducted my own research which has honed both my grammatical and analytical skills. Throughout my college career I have tutored students in the sciences, math, French, and English. I am currently in the masters program at UB for high school biology education and currently student teaching.
Everyone has a different style of learning. It is always my goal to find out what style best suits the student. Whether they are vsisual learners, or simply need multiple ways of hearing an explanation, I strive to meet the needs of each individual person. My greatest joy comes from seeing my students su ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have extensive experience working with dually diagnosed individuals. The students I taught not only had difficulty learning but also exhibited some emotional and mental difficulties. I work well with students both individually and in group lessons. My special education experience has provided me with an ability to identify where and why students are having difficulty learning. I am able to easily modify and adapt lessons to a students needs.
I enjoy working with and teaching all levels of students and children. No two children learn in the same way. It is important to differentiate and identify the way that each child needs to be taught and engaged in the lesson. Lessons must be concrete and meaningful to a child. If things are taught to them in a way and on a level that they can grasp any child can be taught. It is important to me that each child be given an opportunity to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia I am a highly qualified educator. Through the college I have several experiences working one on one with students, tutoring both math and literacy, as well as working with whole classrooms. Since receiving my Bachelor's degree in Education I have privately tutored third grade math. Additionally I have substituted in many different types of classrooms. I feel that I have an abundance of experience working with children in tutoring and classroom settings.
Teaching is my passion. I find that the single most important factor in being successful while working with children is getting to know them. When you get to know a student and what his or her interests are you get a glimpse into how they learn. Every time I teach I ensure that my lessons are student oriented. I incorporate the student's interests as much as possible. Whe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!
I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging.

I am certified K-12 in ESL and childhood education 1-6 certification, along with training in gifted education. However, over the years I have worked with all ages including adults in paid and voluntary positions. As an ESL teacher, I have worked teaching and guiding children and their parents. I hold a Master’s degree in Education, with my thesis being a study on the effects of having fun while learning effecting reading skills. I was able to complete a study on this, which showed significant gains in the children’s reading.
I am a relaxed teacher who believes that every student learns differently and the tutor needs to deliver assistance in a way that makes sense to the student. I like to make learning fun and will often inject humor into the lesson. I am also a storyteller by personality, and will often make connections to the material for students to help the learing have ... read more

I love working with children and I believe all children have the capacity to learn. Teachers need to recognize and learn the correct methods to instruct individual students using their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. I employ various teaching styles based on the student, the subject area, and the goals desired.I am patient, understanding of outside circumstances, and strive to ease the student into the process so they do not become overwhelmed. I keep the learning environment fun but structured so that the student has the best environment in which to learn.
I have 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher in all areas of elementary education as well as high school classes. I have 2 years experience as an in home tutor for a student with physical disabilities.
