Let me help you make a tough subject likeable

In 20 years of teaching experience I have tutored students of all ages, different socio-economic backgrounds and intellectual abilities, as well as in a wide variety of subjects. I have tutored in four public school systems, in private practice with with adults who needed help to prepare for tests and for adults who either wanted to study for their own enrichment or to advance in the corporate world.
The most important thing when working one-on-one with a student is to find out the best ways that student learns. Patience is important, as is humor.

Geography is one of my top subjects! Currently and anthropology undergrad and have a basic background in geography.

I have been a student for 17 years. I am currently an anthropology undergrad who hope to become a professor. I am usually the person everyone asks for help with Homework. So i thought tutoring would be a natural fit. I enjoy helping individuals proof read. I enjoy helping students learn and find it is very rewarding to see them grow academically. Tutoring also helps me gain knowledge and experience working with students.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal as a teacher is to see that each individual harbors the goal to become a life long learner. Many feel that they are not cut out for advanced studies in college, and I like to help that individual find an area that they feel successful in and encourage them to investigate it and see what possible opportunities it can lead them to. Learning takes place not only in classrooms, but outside of them as well. I believe in working with students to find alternative ways of advancing their knowledge. For example, I work with what students are interested in and turn it into lessons. I firmly believe that life experiences open the doors to learning and my goal is to find opportunities to present that.
I am a high school special education teacher with a primary focus on ELA. Currently, I co-teach in integrated classrooms, grades 9, 11, and 12, with regular education teachers and w ... read more

I am currently teaching third grade in Newark, NY. This is my fifth year at this grade level. I have also had three years of experience working with students with disabilities. I currently teach in all subject areas. I have a degree in “Arts for Children”, which involves integrating the arts into the curriculum. With this, I have spent time differentiating my instruction to meet the needs of my students. In addition, I have worked with struggling readers who read significantly below grade level and I have worked hard to prepare my students for New York State Exams. I have a very strong passion for helping students and guiding them in becoming independent learners.

My goal as a teacher is to help students learn and understand Math. I believe as a teacher, you want to pass onto your students to excel in whatever they want to achieve in life. I find students today are in a very competitive and stressful environment in the classroom. The pressure to succeed or be above average is great and can cause the enjoyment in learning to be lost. Mathematics is challenging, and some students pick up the concepts very easily, while others do not. It is important not to lose the students who are having difficulty. Through tutoring sessions, or help from other students in the class, the goal is for the entire classroom to succeed in mathematical learning as a team effort.

I love teaching and working with children. All children learn at different rates and with different styles. I am interested in finding which way works best for your child to ensure the educational success we both want for them. I am patient, caring, and creative in my approach with students. I strive to make a difference in all of my student's lives.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and an Associate's in Business Administration. While working on my Bachelor's Degree, I also received my provisional teaching certificate in Elementary Education.

Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary level, inner city students which involved traditional, sit-down tutoring as well as active learning in order to serve the greatest amount of students possible. As a resident assistant for freshmen males, I have learned how to handle crisis situations and tailor my teaching style to all types of personalities. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the finished product and the gratification students feel when their hard work has allowed them to succeed, because that is when I know I have done everything I needed to do and set out to do.
As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including En ... read more

My father always told me that whatever I chose to do, it had to be working with children. I didn't listen at first and went on to obtain a degree in Hotel Management and after six years of managing a hotel, I chose to listen and go back to school. I now hold a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I have been a preschool itinerant speech therapist for 4 years as well as a preschool teacher for two. I not only have experience with preschoolers, I also supplement my own daughter and her friend's public education with foreign language and math programs.
I love teaching children and young adults. I feel that children are like sponges and can only learn what is presented to them in a way that they can relate to. Many children learn through hands-on experiences and personal references, therefore I try to incorporate those whenever possible. I really try to enha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life!
I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy t ... read more

In my experience, most students learn best by practicing the material and get bored listening to long lectures. However, as I learned from students and from a college tutoring course, all students have different styles of learning and I tailor my teaching to their needs. I want all of my students to experience that moment when everything just "clicks" and they have the confidence to go on learning and reach their high potentials. I also strive to create a stress-free environment so that students are comfortable asking many questions.
At the University at Buffalo I worked as a tutor for university students in subjects ranging from English and Spanish to biology and calculus. My BS is in biomedical sciences but I am also a proficient writer and have taken many English courses. I received an award for Outstanding English Student in high school. In addition, I worked for the WHIZard Ac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a flexible and kindhearted educator I have enjoyed all the teaching opportunities presented to me; including working with diverse groups of students with multiple disabilities. These experiences have helped me to become a more compassionate individual who works hard to make sure students become successful and achieve their educational goals with effective accommodations. My greatest strength is being able to facilitate all learning styles. I understand the importance of utilizing various learning opportunities that include multi-sensory activities to meet the needs of kinesthetic, auditory, visual and tactile learners.
