My comments on tutoring Political Science : I have vast knowledge of the political system.

I try to engage my student, to tease the learning out of him or her. I have learned to explain, to give the information then to step back, allowing my student to think through to the conclusion. This involves silence sometimes, and the student talking more while I talk less, something not so easy for a teacher of Italian descent. Experiences has shown, however, that it often works.
My name is John Calleri and I have been a teacher for more than 30 years. During that time, I have taught in two languages, English and Spanish, and in three countries: the United States, Germany, and Spain. I have taught Social Studies to grades 7 to 12, Spanish to grades 9 to 11, and GED (high school equivalency) to students aged 17 to 40. My students have been stateside Americans, newly arrived immigrants to the U.S., the children of our military in Germany, and native Spaniards in the Canary Islands, ... read more

Outgoing certified teacher elementary/special education B-6

My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills. Consult teaching in done during whole group instruction and two teachers team up to help advance stuggeling learners or learners with disabilities. I enjoy my work and love to see the results of the students I work wit ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love opening up a child's mind to the love of the written word. The possibility of expressing one's private thoughts and experiences have the power to change lives for the better. I have always been patient and understanding with children. Some of my best memories as a child focus on that one teacher that went out of her way to see in me the potential , that I was unable to see in myself. I promise to do my best to ensure that your child feels the same way about one teacher making that deciding difference and bringing to light your child's potential.
During my tenure at Buffalo State College, I volunteered at the Equal Opportunity Program, where my main strength was utilized by actively tutoring students in the art of the english essay. I was able to tutor these students and advise them in the general format of the essay. We began by procurring a general introduction, or a s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The past year in Korea has opened my eyes to the enjoyment I can receive from teaching. It made me realize how wonderful American schools are in their understanding and development for children. I hope to cater to all the learning styles that children need so that they learn the information to the best of their ability. My goal is to have all the children understand all the options and possibilities that are out there so that can achieve their goals.
As a graduate of a SUNY school I had the pleasure of studying with people from all walks of life. I earned a Bachelor in History which I find vital for the development of our modern world. My writing skills have been developing since my High School studies and it only prepared me for my college writing assignments. I worked in South Korea for one year teaching and tutoring student ranging from 5 years to 16 years old children. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I also developed a positive behavior management system that teaches students responsibility and accountability. My system has reinforced my philosophy of teaching; students learn and work better when a positive environment surrounds them.
Through my teaching experience, I have learned the importance of the relationship between the community and maintaining a positive classroom environment. As a student teacher I have had experience keeping parents involved with classroom activities and I believe that parental involvement is an important factor in creating effective teaching and learning for all students. Currently I am student teaching at Buffalo Public School #11, Poplar Street Academy. I lead small groups in the afternoon and use Harcourt Intervention to provide enrichment for struggling readers. I have been successful in pulling two of the five students up to benchmark level.

Personable. I love to tell stories from history that illustrate the point I am trying to make. Date and names are only part of the lesson - the main thing is to allow the student to remember what happened and why.
I obtained all of my degress while I was working full-time jobs. My teaching experience at Damon College and SUNY Buffalo was as a part time "teaching assistant". I was never able to give up full time work in order to teach full-time, as part-time salries fell short of what I needed to support my family. Now that I am "retired" I would like to share the significant knowledge and my world travel experiences to help students learn about our world and how we came to this place. Many people have told me that I am a natural and very interesting teacher. I love my subject and have so much to offer. I would really appreciate the opportunity to share my knowledge and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is centered around student activity. Students must be able to fully understand the objectives of the lesson and be able to construct the meaning of the lesson on their own. All steps should be modeled and structured for clarity.
I have graduated from Canisius College with a Master degree in Education. I am currently on track to have NYS initial certification by February. My student teaching was conducted at Hamburg Middle School and Lackawanna High School in 9th grade social studies and 7th grade American history. I have extensive experience in writing through my schooling and in my work experience in journalism, which required a high degree of literacy.

More About This Tutor...

I am very much invested in both structured and intuitive teaching. I consistently try to instill in my students a sense of the dynamic interplay between these two facets of the production and maintenance of knowledge. I encourage them to know the inside of "the box", but to be ready and willing to think outside of it when the situation demands it (as it very often does). I want my students to speak for themselves, but to be equally capable of listening. I view teaching as a collaborative endeavor, and it is my firm belief that both teacher and student are always engaged in both aspects of its cause. That is, we are always both teachers and students together.
I graduated from Rutgers University Cum Laud, and with departmental honors in English. After completing my undergraduate degree I traveled to Chile where I taught English at three private academies from grades 8 to 12. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was recognized for my teaching abilities during my undergraduate years, having been selected as a teaching assistant as a freshman for sociology courses. As a graduate student, I spent much of my time as a teaching assistant and later as an instructor at the college level. I spent several years reading and evaluating statewide public school exams in science, math and writing, while helping shape the questions asked by state exam boards for primary and secondary school students. I became fluent in Spanish living and working in Central America and Mexico, as well as through immersion in Spanish speaking communities in the USA. I am a published writer and editor in nonfiction writing. I have also published academic papers.
I believe in finding methods appropriate to each student, depending on their level of development and interests. There is no simple way to help stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attempt to get to know my students' interests and abilities at the outset of a class. I seek to utilize illustrative examples connected to their interests. Active participation in learning is my highest priority, because students retain knowledge and skills best by experiencing them fully. Because students learn in a variety of ways, I use activities in each class that access divergent learning styles: including visual, oral, and kinesthetic learning. I learn from my students through close observation. Also, I monitor nonverbal signals from students to guide me towards methods that are reaching students and away from activities that are eluding student attention and comprehension. I use praise and encouragement regularly to build confidence in my students. In the end, I measure my teaching success based on the degree to which students can independently apply the knowledge and skills ... read more

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

My teaching methods are based on years of research. I am firm believer in using formative assessment and incorporating technology whenever possible. Focusing on the Thoughtful Ed approach to teaching of Dr. Harvey Silver, I try to address the varying learning styles of all students in the classroom.
I am a teacher with ten years experience and a passion for teaching. I have acquired both a master's and bachelor's degree from Buffalo State College in addition to studying abroad in England. I have been a teacher in the Gowanda school system for 9 years and have taught AP US History for 8 of those years. In addition, I have taught remedial programs at Erie Community College and have offered after school review sessions months prior to the AP US History exam.
