A Little Bit About Me...

When I was 12-13 years old, I started learning Spanish. I am now 22 years old and am pretty proficient in Spanish. Also, I tutor Business Law a little bit. I have taken a course at Suny Cobleskill along with Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. Writing and English is something that I am very good at. If you need help writing papers, I can definitely help. :)
With Spanish, I am conversational. I also like to quiz students that I tutor at Suny Cobleskill.

Spanish is one of my top subjects! Qualified to work with students from Middle School to college and beyond. Especially like to work with adult students.

I am certified to teach French and Spanish, 7-12 in New York State. I have over thirty years of teaching experience in both public and private schools, as well as religious schools and boarding schools. I am a superior one-on-one instructor who guarantees results! I have prepared many adult students for living and studying abroad, as well as preparation for job promotions. I like to work with the home school community. I have brought failing students of French and Spanish to a level of high performance and have been able to change attitudes from "I can't learn this...to I want to TEACH this!".
My one-on-one approach is to first assess the needs of the student, and then I tailor the lessons to meet that student's specific needs. There are many reasons for wanting to learn a foreign language, or to improve existing skills. One sole approach does not meet the needs of every st ... read more

Spanish is one of my top subjects! Bachelors degree in Spanish. Studied abroad in Spanish speaking countries.

My language learning career began in middle school when I chose to study Spanish. having enjoyed the language so much, I continued all throughout high school and eventually chose to continue my Spanish learning in college. I chose to study Spanish and Secondary Education. during my undergraduate work, I was recommended for tutoring Spanish at the beginning and intermediate levels. I continued that work for my sophomore and junior years. During my time in college, I was fortunate enough to have the ability to study abroad for a semester in Granada, Spain. There I lived with a host family for four months and was enrolled in 4 college level courses at the local university. It was an excellent experience that will be impossible to forget. After returning to the states, I completed my student teaching at an inner city High School and a suburban High School where I taught levels two a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe teaching is more than just showing how to solve a problem, but is helping the student to discover the “bigger picture”. For that reason, I ask a lot of questions to ensure that a student is not just learning by rote, but understands a topic within its larger context. In that way, he or she is learning not only how to solve a particular problem or answer a specific question, but also how to apply it to other problems in the future. I also like to make problems relevant. Students often complain that there is no reason to study something – math, for example. But I like to show that indeed, they use it all the time and that it can be fun. Learning should not only be effective, but enjoyable as well.
At my Ivy League college, we were taught not just facts, but how to learn. This invaluable skill has stood me well and put me in an excellent position to teach. I have continued ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my extensive experience studying, living and traveling in such countries as Spain, Nicaragua and Argentina I have become fluent and able to speak with a native-like accent. This, in conjunction with a BA in the language, has given a knowledge and edge verbally as well as grammatically. Most recently, I received a 130-hour certificate in TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) giving me the training and experience to tutor non-native speakers in English. I bring a dynamic understanding of English as well as Spanish to my tutoring sessions based on years of experience and studying.
As a teacher of English (ESL) and Spanish, my insight lies in the experience of being a second language learner. I have been in the position of having to learn a second language, which has given me greater empathy and understanding for students. Individuals need to encounter the language ... read more

I began my teaching career in Cooperstown, NY in 2001, as a mid-career professional in search of a meaningful job. Previously, I worked in the entertainment industry. Seeking to make a difference in the lives of our children, I moved to Los Angeles to teach English to the children of Latino immigrants. It was the highlight of my teaching profession. Subsequently, my husband and I relocated to NY state where I have been teaching high school (all subjects) to emotionally challenged adolescent students. I have taught and tutored most academic subjects.
I teach to my students so they can learn. Each of my students has a different modality of acquiring and retaining information, so I assess that style and present instruction in a way that is meaningful. My work towards a master's degree in special education highlighted the various ways in which a student gains knowledge. I use that ... read more

I believe strongly that any human being who does not have actual damage to the brain is capable of acquiring a second language. Unfortunately, many language classes rely far too heavily on worksheets, grammar exercises and dry readings not related to students' lives and experiences. By heavily personalizing content, I provide a rich language environment that motivates and helps students succeed. I also provide comprehensive technological and internet resources for students, including custom audio flashcards usable on an iPod or iPhone, providing 24/7 backup to the content the student is working with.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Again, I have learned that all children learn differently and one approach does not work for all. I have several tried and true techniques to guide my son in the learning (in mainly reading and comprehension) and not only help him learn, but to make it an enjoyable experience. I am very patient and nurturing and work very well with children at the elementary level. I can switch gears on a dime if plan A is not working. I try to make games out of learning if possible so that the child does not lose interest and 'shut down' as my son sometimes did.
I have worked with children for 30 years. I understand the elementary level reading progam having subbed for teachers, teaching assistants and reading teachers for 2 years. I taught pre-reading skills to 3 year old children for 8 years in a local preschool. I am 3/4 of the way through my Teaching Assistant Certification. I have ... read more

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 ... read more

I believe all children deserve to be given the chance to learn. I understand that not everyone learns the same way; differentiated forms of instruction are an important part of the day to day teaching method. I find that I am patient with children, allowing them to work at their own speed, and encouraging them to work to the best of their abilities. I encourage a hands-on approach to learning: it’s more fun if you can get dirty! I also believe I have a sense of humor that helps me connect with children. I hope to provide all the help I can to enhance a child’s learning ability.
I have always known I wanted to work with children. I enjoy working in classrooms, as well as in the more relaxed settings, such as summer and after-school programs. I graduated in 2005 from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and a concentra ... read more

I began as a middle school English teacher in the Bronx a decade ago. For ten years I’ve taught English language and literacy skills in New York, Oakland and Ecuador. I speak Spanish and have a second master’s degree in journalism. I achieved humbling recognition as a writer and producer of print and radio journalism in Alabama and New York. Called back to my original love for helping young adults, I returned to my starting point, accepting another middle school job in the Bronx in 2009 before circumstances pushed me upstate. As a teacher and journalist I have developed a deep understanding of English, and have had much success in teaching it to all levels of learners.
I understand frustration at school because I experienced it myself. I believe a better grasp of communication (reading, writing, speaking skills) can change a student’s confidence about learning (and life) and improv ... read more
