My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B.

My comments on tutoring Spelling : Essential in understanding the concepts of reading and writing.

I have a varied style, which is geared to the learning style of my students. I teach world to text, text to text, text to life.
I was employed by the Lakeland Central School District as a substitute Teacher Aide and later in a full time capacity. I worked for the OASIS Program and later at the Alternative High School. After completing my Bachelor's Degree at Concordia College, I applied for and was accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows Program. I taught Special Education at a high needs urban high school in the Bronx. This was a challenging and rewarding experience. Many of my students continued on to post secondary schools. I am currently finishing my Master's degree program at City College of New York, expected graduation is May 2013.

Psychology major at Hartwick College

I focus more on individual progress than grades. I think it's important for tutors to help students work at their own pace, develop stronger study skills, and build confidence in order to achieve academic success.
Currently, I work as a Museum Assistant at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture in Oneonta, New York. As a museum assistant, I perfect my verbal communication skills, anticipate others' wants and needs, and take initiative in assisting museum visitors. I've also lent my creativity and excellent writing to The Mommy Dash and Hilltops, or Hartwick College's newspaper. From my employment history, I've built strong leadership skills and gained a strong need to work and constantly better myself. I believe these traits qualify me as a strong tutor, as I've learned to communicate effectively with children, discern their strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them to progress at th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a teacher in Stamford Public Schools K-12,a United Nations correspondent, published a novel, and have a BA in Literature from Purchase College. I have experience with teaching large classes or individual tutoring, and I'm great at presenting ideas that the student can identify with. I get people I'm working with to realize they can do more than they think they can.
I like to get students to comprehend the material and then have them push themselves and use what they have learned.

Elementary Tutor

I have been a tutor at a local elementary school where my students were very successful. As a future teacher, I am learning and growing in the skills necessary to now take on and help educate children in the common core. I have been an assistant teacher, a teacher's aide and an after school teacher. I have worked in many different settings including pre-school, elementary and middle school. My degree also focuses on special education, so I have acquired skills to help focus in that area.
With each new student comes the opportunity for a new teaching style. Each child learns in a different way.

Believe in yourself, and you are half-way there!

My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.

All children can learn,

I have taught Language Arts in Middle School, 7th and 8th grade. In addition, I taught all major subjects in Grades 3, 4, 5. I have worked with students in regular education classes, and also have had previous experience with special needs children ( behavior and academics). My students have been successful with city and state assessments, and in the recently developed ratings in NYC I am "effective", very close to "highly effective", in their newly developing rating system.
My style adapts to student's needs. There are multiple points of entry for undertanding.

I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be just as rewarding as working with small children. Helping someone achieve a life long dream of obtaining their high school diplom ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching Philosophy One’s teaching philosophy is continually evolving over time. Evolution occurs because teaching is an ongoing process. This process has brought me to develop my own personal teaching philosophy. The philosophy I have created is one that is student centered. My classrooms have become student centered. I have decided to acquaint myself with the needs and expectations of my students. The classroom culture I desire is one where my students may know they are safe and secure to learn. They need to know they are allowed to fail because one truly learns from one’s failures. Failure should not have negative connotations but to know failing only points out what we need to learn and also know what are successes are as well. In order for this to be accomplished in the classroom, I have developed, for the time being, a teaching strategy. The strategy is to put forth knowledge whi ... read more
