David P - Red Hook, NY 12571 (14.1 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I believe a good teacher should have the following attributes. First, they should love their respective subject. Second, they should have real world experience that can tie to the lesson of the day. Third, they should understand the needs and desires of their students. Lastly, they must have a firm but fair method of classroom discipline. With the subject of earth science, I have the passion and experience to make a difference in your student's life. I have BS degrees in education and industrial engineering. I also have an MS Teachers in Geosciences. I have worked for much of my career as an engineer but have also taught earth science at the high school level for two years in the recent past. I have great enthusiasm for the world we live in and the study of earth science. I look forward to working one on one with students that are having difficulty and helping them make the grade.

Tara G - Albany, NY 12209 (29.9 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $46.00/hr.
Throughout my teaching career, I have become accomplished in creating efficient lessons that reach diverse learners and make relevant connections to the world beyond the classroom. I am proficient in the areas of British and American Literature and have designed innovative units based around such classics as The Scarlet Letter and Of Mice and Men. Making germane connections and scaffolding ideas, allows for deeper comprehension, interpretation, and analysis. This methodology, as well as my vast range in experience has allowed me to thoroughly prepare my students for the English Language Arts Exams, English Regents Exam, and PSAT/SAT. I have prepared students in terms of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and test taking skills. I dedicate my efforts to improving writing on all levels, whether it is creative, professional, Regents, SAT, outlining or proofreading. Writing is a very i

Scott V - Albany, NY 12208 (30.3 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $46.00/hr.
My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for academics. For instance, my passion for math and science embodies how I approach the world. I think of life on a molecular level. In other words, where many get frustrated with complex theories as they become increasingly abstract, I can easily visualize the intangible and relay concepts in more graspable terms that most teachers and textbooks cannot provide. I bring humor and light-heartedness to abstract subject matter, thus making critical-thinking less critical and just thought. Having conversations about how science informs the world is an important part of my livelihood. Furthermore, rather than conversing with colleagues, sharing my knowledge with those who have difficulty understanding subjects where I excel, brings me such gratification. Knowing that I have helped someone else understand an aspect of the world even just a

Emily J - Albany, NY 12208 (30.5 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I love teaching and I am very interested in helping children/young adults better their lives by achieving their goals academically. I consider myself to be very in-tune with the mindset of children and employ various tricks of the trade to engage them in learning. I am very proud of the students I teach and I strive to help them better their own lives. A very important aspect of my teaching style is to help the children help themselves. Anyone can give them the answers, but I consider giving them the skills to find answers when I'm not there helping them a more important goal. As a student in a professional college I am very focused on learning and I have gained many skills and useful tips for studying. As a mentor with a program that my college hosts, I teach inner city 3rd grade students about science and math and reading. The purpose of the program is to encourage them to stay in scho

Lisa K - Albany, NY 12208 (30.6 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $43.50/hr.
In order to comprehend a new concept, I believe that the student needs to view new material in a context that they can digest. I understand that different people have varying methods of comprehension, and I will work to find the best way to relay new information to the student. I believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience, and given the proper amount of dedication, anyone should be able to learn new material. I am a patient and understanding instructor, and am very understanding of the struggles of learning a new subject. When I was senior high school student taking AP Biology, I tutored a freshman student and helped bring up her scores for her final exam. During my time studying at the New College of Florida, Florida's honors college, I took two semesters of a class in which I prepared and taught elementary, middle, and high school students various topics in science.

Joseph M - albany, NY 12208 (30.6 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have been Involved in the teaching and tutoring of academic subjects for the past 6 years of my life. I have a true passion for instilling the same love for education that I possess in my students.
I have worked in about 9 different educational, tutoring, or mentoring facilities both before and after I graduated with my biology teaching certificate.
I have used these experiences to not only develop my teaching strategies but to truly understand what makes a student want to learn. I have learned that constantly showing a student that learning IS fun will increase their will to do work and be successful. Through my teaching experience I have found it necessary to differentiate my teaching styles in order to be an effective teacher. Most often than not I have found that being a facilitator rather than a dictator is most beneficial to learning. I have learned that if students

Ryan Q - Albany, NY 12208 (30.7 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I prefer a “vertically integrated” teaching style. Science is a continuum, with complex topics being reducible to simple concepts. I will work with a student to break down difficult topics that are already problematic, and help them synthesize concepts into an integrated whole as new topics arise. My education consists of a Bachelors of Arts degree in chemistry, with a minor in biology and significant field experience in academic research in both fields. My inaugural teaching experience was as an HEOP tutor for introductory physics. I have been a freelance tutor for organic chemistry for over a year, and have tutored Regents chemistry as well, and have volunteered my services to fellow students for two and a half years.

Mary M - Albany, NY 12203 (30.8 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $42.00/hr.
As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science. The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill.
Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combin

John H - Niskayuna, NY 12309 (36.3 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I believe in challenging a student to do more than they were aware they could do - I have consistently found that individuals give themselves less credit than they deserve. I believe in making a lesson relevant to a student - keep it abstract and it will remain difficult, but bring it home and they will own it. I am excellent at distilling the basic lessons within a topic into take-home messages that give the student more than merely a list to memorize; they get actual working knowledge that will not erode so quickly from memory. I can communicate at many different levels, and am sincere about sharing my love of learning. I believe in the scientific method as a key to intellectual and technological progress, and in the inherent robustness of truth. But the foundation of my philosophy is that each individual, as well as his or her community, is improved through learning. Each individual i

Ashley A - Worcester, NY 12197 (43.1 mi) - Marine Biology Tutor - $43.50/hr.
As a Siena College graduate I developed a very hands on approach to active learning. Through classroom lecture and instruction I've completed the necessary coursework to complete my BS of biology. Due to my strong work ethic I've gained knowledge and skills in the physical sciences, as well as in other subject areas. During my college years I subbed as teacher at a public K-12 school. During that time I taught a variety of grade levels, and worked as a one-on-one aide. I believe that in order to succeed in teaching and being an educator you must inspire those that you are teaching. A child who is excited to learn, will do much better. I feel a hands on approach is best, guiding the child to personal success.
