Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Shelter Island, NY

I was a student teacher at Miller Place's Middle School and Three Village's Murphy Junior High. I taught both 7th grade honors classes, 8th grade, and 9th grade honors classes. Also, at Three Village I co-taught with the reading department for students who are struggling in English. I've worked with some of my students after school in a one on one tutoring sessions. I really enjoyed working with middle school students and helping them transition and supply them with the skills they will need in high school. I graduated from St. Joseph's College in May 2012 after four years at the college. I received a bachelors degree of cum laude in English Secondary Education and a minor in Speech communications. I am in the process of receiving my New York State Certification in secondary education in grades 7-12 with an extension for grades 5 and 6. I only have one more test to pass in order to recei

I am currently working part time as a ski instructor with children. This has taught me to be patient with the development of my students. It is incredibly important to maintain an atmosphere where learning is fun. I am certified by Oxford seminars to teach english as a second language. During the classes we studied general techniques for teaching english, that can be used for native speakers as well. I am a firm believer that there are all different types of learners, and thus teaching styles should adapt to the individuals needs. I specialized in poetry studying under one of the top T.S. Eliot scholars. As a literature major we studied a wide range of topics from early english to post colonial literature. This has given me a great appreciation of the english language. Having grown up abroad in Amsterdam and Switzerland has also made me enthusiastic about the barrier between conversation

I enjoy helping others to better understand a wide range of subjects. Every student has unlimited potential and I believe I can help them to reach it. I can patiently and effectively teach students of various ages and disabilities, while helping them to reach their academic goals. Every student learns in a unique way and my goal is to help a student to discover that way so that he or she may apply it to their future endeavors. A good teacher can make the biggest difference in a student's life and I want to make that difference. I have been a volunteering mentor with my collegiate honor's program for years in various elementary subjects with students with learning disabilities. I also worked in the university's computer lab in the work-study program for 3 years helping my professors and peers with their computer difficulties. I also tutored my fellow students in English, science, ma

I have worked with children all of my life. I earned a bachelors degree from Skidmore College in 2008 with a major in Social Work and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I also fulfilled the core curriculum classes in math, science, English, and foreign language. I went on to receive a masters degree in Social Work from Boston College in 2009 through their advanced standing program. With my education, background, and work experience, I have extensive knowledge of child development and special education. I have taught and run social skills groups in preschool and elementary classrooms. I am a strong believer that children all learn differently. I consider myself a visual learner, but try to teach to cater all different learning styles. I believe children learn best when able to relate to the material in some way. I try my best to discover the individual child's learning style an

My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities. Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited i

While attending Paul Smith's College I worked in the Center for Accomodative Services where I helped students in both Chemistry and French classes we were attending. I have also worked with Elementary and Middle School students as a 1:1 Teacher's Aide. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Literature with a minor in Writing. I am conversant in all modes of writing, from basic English and Grammar to the construction of collegiate level essays and papers. I am most familiar with MLS rules. I take a fairly direct approach with my students, learning about their skill level as well as the subject matter they are involved with. I try to learn what approaches have or have not worked in the past and how I can adapt those methods to one that will allow that child to succeed. I believe that hard work deserves rewards such as verbal praise and "high-fives." All of my students will receive my utmost energy

I have been a one-on -one paraprofessional at the elementary school level, teaching all subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for eight years in prek-eight grade taching all subjects. I enjoy teaching all ages. I have found the most satisfying experience in helping a student reach his/her potential and see their self-esteem grow immensely as their academic achievements grew. Every student is unique and deserves to have the best education possible. This sometimes means teaching differently to one student than to another. There is no cookie-cutter approach. I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life. I have taught gifted and special needs students and find both to be exciting and satisfying. I raise to the challenges set for me and work diligently to achieve t

I enjoy teaching children, students of all ages and those willing to learn. As a high school student, I was involved in inner city teaching and I helped hartford students in their studies after their school.

Teaching children has been a rewarding experience for me for a long time. I truly believe that every child is capable of learning with a little bit of patience and understanding. Children, as well as teenagers, need someone who can help them believe in themselves and their abilities. No matter the subject, I strive to fully bring out my students' potential and help them succeed. I graduated from Stony Brook University and have a bachelor's degree in health science with a concentration in medical informatics. I have an extensive education in biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also well learned in english, math, and computer programs (such as Microsoft word, excel, and power point). I am fluent in both Polish and English.

As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed. It is often a challenge to ensure that the classroom climate and curriculum is supportive and responsive to all students. No matter what the subject, students should be provided with an academically challenging curriculum that includes attention to the development of higher level cognitive skills. I encourage students to share attitudes, concerns and aspirations. If students have their own views challenged, it encourages the critical thinking and reflective judgment that will serve them well throughout life. I am a professional with 16 years experience managing the accounting records and training staff of both small and large companies. I completed my BBA in Accounting while working full time and

My experience in the field of tutoring is personal. I do not have formal previous experience with a formal institution that provides me with students to tutor- instead- my love and passion for reading, writing and literature in general has driven me to tutor friends and family concerning this subject matter. My BA from Wheaton College has given me the necessary background needed to be an influencial tutor in these (and other!) areas. I was just certified as a Yoga Teacher in June of 2010, and though this may seem unrelated, my passion for yoga has further sharpened my communication skills, also preparing me to suceed in this field. As the oldest of five children I not only love children, but I have a life-time long experience with them.
