I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues. As a private teacher meeting individually with a student for an hour each week, I became the main academic and personal adviser for them.

Though I recently graduated with a BS in Childhood and Special Education, I have many years of experience as a teacher/trainer. I currently substitute teach Per Diem in several local districts for K-12 students. I also have gained classroom teaching experience through student teaching and field work. Prior to that, I tutored several fellow students at Monroe Community College, and volunteered as a tutor/mentor for Rochester City School District High School students, through the Liberty Partnership Program at MCC. In many of my previous positions, I was responsible for training employees. My communication skills are excellent, and I am strongest in the area of English Language Arts, but am comfortable with most Elementary level subjects.
With extensive (and recent) training in education, especially with regard to providing for the needs of diverse learners, I am prepared to work w ... read more

Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese.
I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true)

I finished my degree by going to summer and night school; I graduated in 1979. I was the first in my family to go to college and I am very proud of that. I have become a much better writer and am much more aware of grammar through writing reports, technical papers and SOPs. For a couple of years I volunteered for Literacy Volunteers because of my love of reading.
I like working with children. They are so appreciative and excited when they learn and figure out a new word or anything. I am easy going and very supportive. GIven a good learning atmosphere, good support, encouragement and enthusiasm and children can learn. Everyone learns in different ways; in a one-on-one situation that can be discovered and lessons designed to best help the child.

Xin Jia began his piano studies at the age of 4. He was the highest ranked student with full scholarship to attend the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and was awarded with full scholarship from Oberlin Conservatory and Eastman School of Music in 2003.He won first place in the 7th Eastman School of Music International Piano Competitio.The newspaper reviews him as “a poised and polished pianist” and performed “a lyrical and thoughtful rendition”.
reasonably strict, responsible, painstaking, with 5 years of teaching experience, I know how important it is to understand and communicate with students, and I do believe the best way to let the student learn is to let them work hard on it though make him interested with it 1st. Every child has their potential and they do deserve a currect teacher.

The following is my personal philosophy of education: I believe that all children have the to ability to learn. A student's curriculum should be integrated with multiple-intelligences in mind. It is crucial for students to be able to make personal connections in their learning. Good teaching means engaging students in meaningul dialogue, text and their lives. Literacy should be encouraged and demeonstrated as a life long process. A successful learning environment must be safe, caring and respectful.
As a non-traditional, graduate of Nazareth of Rochester, it has become very clear why an excellent education is clearly the only way to achieve autonomy, which I believe is crucial to all. I earned my dual-certification and Bachelor's Degree in Regular Education and Special Education. Because my own son had learning disabilities, I earned my Master's in Reading. I have worked with ... read more
