Microsoft Excel Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Slingerlands, NY

I am very patient. I enjoy helping people learn that want to be there. I will draw out diagrams and show the same topic 10 different ways if needed. That being said i don't just give them the answer to the problem, but will guide the person to the solution. I have earned my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I love computers and programming as well as web design. I was even a Teacher Assistant for a Data Structures class at my university (CSI 310) in which i helped students with homework and programming assignments. In this role i helped students learn concepts such as linked lists, tree structures, recursive thinking as well as other types of data structures. I have also done a lot of math in my pursuit of my computer science degree and will more then gladly help out with math related questions as well.

My teaching style is replete with visuals and drawing an analogy from nature to help understand abstract concepts of science. I strongly believe students can grasp ideas instantly once they are able to relate textual information (i.e in books ) to a graphical content. Be it Maths or Physics or Chemistry...every complex problem can be broken down to the bare fundamentals which is what I stress upon always. I have had some wonderful teachers in my life and I desire to be one like them. I am a Research Assistant(PhD) working in the field of Semiconductor Nanotechnology. Philosophically I am trying to understand reality from an atomic perspective. I graduated from NJIT with a MS degree where I tutored Seniors in Maths, Physics and Chemistry for 2 years. Prior to my MS I worked in IT(software) industry for 2 years where I trained my co-workers programming skills. My favorite subjects are Math

Ever since I volunteered at Guilderland High School where I helped children with homework, I love teaching and being around with children. Once you put the effort into their learning and be there with them one step at a time until they finally understand the concept and/or get the answer, it is an amazing feeling. I recently graduated from Syracuse University. I majored in finance and marketing management with a minor in information technology. In my finance courses, I have gained extensive knowledge in different areas of math. Apart from my academic studies, I joined clubs where I held leadership positions which allowed me build team building and leadership skills. When I was a junior in high school, I volunteered for the YMCA. I worked at Guilderland Elementary School, where I helped the kids with their homework. It was definitely a memorable experience.

I have experience working with adults but I love working with children as well. I have the ability to manipulate the way I teach that will maximize the learning for each individual. I'm am a very personal and creative person thats wants everyone to succeed in their academics. While studying for my undergrad in economics I found a passion in helping others succeed as I was. I often held study sessions with groups ranging from 2- 10 people at least twice a week. When during these sessions if an individual felt lost, I would often meet with them at a later date to coach them separately. I have yet to receive a further degree in teaching but may be a path a may take. It is such a wonderful feeling to succeed at academics and I love to help others experience that.

My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for academics. For instance, my passion for math and science embodies how I approach the world. I think of life on a molecular level. In other words, where many get frustrated with complex theories as they become increasingly abstract, I can easily visualize the intangible and relay concepts in more graspable terms that most teachers and textbooks cannot provide. I bring humor and light-heartedness to abstract subject matter, thus making critical-thinking less critical and just thought. Having conversations about how science informs the world is an important part of my livelihood. Furthermore, rather than conversing with colleagues, sharing my knowledge with those who have difficulty understanding subjects where I excel, brings me such gratification. Knowing that I have helped someone else understand an aspect of the world even just a

I like being with children. I think that their interests change, develop and grow and as such I love to learn about the things they are interested in, and enjoy them as well. As such, I find ways to communicate and work with children so that they learn well. A not so great student, I found that I still loved learning. I love stories in all forms. I have a degree in History from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I love politics and history, and found Library Science a natural extension of history and political science. Thus I now have a Masters degree in Library Science. Additionally I have always loved working with Youth, so my specialization in Youth Services. Also I have experience working with Youth as a Sunday School Teacher, a Boy Scout Assistant Leader and a Teaching Internship. As such I look forward to tutoring others in loving stories.

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 in school and pursue a career in the sciences. This program has taught me a lot about dealing with and mentoring small children and has given me the desire to continue with this career path. 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

I prefer a “vertically integrated” teaching style. Science is a continuum, with complex topics being reducible to simple concepts. I will work with a student to break down difficult topics that are already problematic, and help them synthesize concepts into an integrated whole as new topics arise. My education consists of a Bachelors of Arts degree in chemistry, with a minor in biology and significant field experience in academic research in both fields. My inaugural teaching experience was as an HEOP tutor for introductory physics. I have been a freelance tutor for organic chemistry for over a year, and have tutored Regents chemistry as well, and have volunteered my services to fellow students for two and a half years.

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

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 combin

Over the past ten years, I have had a wonderful opportunity to instruct a divers group of French Immersion students. As a result, I am a compassionate teacher, who remains sensitive to children’s unique needs, provides individual and whole group support, integrates multicultural teaching units and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focuses and motivated. One of the most effective ways that I assist my student is by developing and persenting comprehensible and stimulating lesson plans that facilitate all learning styles. I research, locate and incorporate a variety of resources to accommodate students via visuel, audio, tactile, and kinesthetic methods. As a graduate, I have been working with children with special needs for 10 years. I also did some french immersion teaching for the same amount of time. I have always thought in elementary school.

I love to teach children and have fun at the same time. I love to incoprate games, i.e. jeopordy, or watch various DVD's on the subject that I am tutoring. I also realaize that not every student leanrs the same, what may work for one may not work for another. I am a senior at the State University at Albany, where I am majoring in History. I am aniticapting graduating in the summer of 2010. I earned my AS degree in Liberal Arts. I currently work as a after school counselor at PineBush Elementary in Guilderland NY. Majoring in History, I have learned to write various papers and analized data. I have tutured students also in other subjects such as English, and Government.

As a recent student, I am very familiar with what it feels like to be in the position a lot of the students are in right now. At the same time, I understand the best method about how to approach understanding the material in the easiest manner possible. The key is patience and practice. I firmly believe the best way to teach is to attempt many examples, rather than strictly lecture. If a student can see the pattern inherent in many of these problems, it makes understanding the initial concepts much easier. My main goal is not solely to have these students enjoy my tutoring, but to be able to provide a fun atmosphere in which they can effectively learn the material and gain an appreciation and excitement for the subject material. As a recent graduate of Syracuse University (December 2009) with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, I am very familiar with the concepts taught in most Mathematics

I find each experience in teaching to be different. The two girls that I tutored were both unique in personality and learning style. I find that identifying what needs the child has is the key to helping them learn. Also- figuring out what they like to learn and what they dislike is important. Although the ‘dislikes’ may be necessary, when they are identified, you can reward the student who completes them with an activity they enjoy. I understand that language does not come easily to everyone and that patience and perseverance pay off. Sometimes you have to explain it in many different ways until you find the angle that they understand. Everyone has a learning technique that works best for them and it is important to teach utilizing multiple techniques in order to maximize understanding. I look forward to helping my clients achieve their goals with patience and understanding. I

I graduated Cum Laude from Manhattan College with a double major in Psychology and Communications. In addition to studying for two majors, I was also a Division 1 athlete and held 2 jobs. Seeing as I was very busy with extracirricular activities, I believe that my graduating with honors was truly a testament to how hard I worked. Since college, I have worked in two jobs that have really tested my gramatical, reading, editing and speaking skills. I tutored all types of students while in college and can't wait for the opportunity to tutor again. When I commit to a job, I follow through with 110% of my time and energy. I love being able to teach someone something new. I love learning, but have always been a visual learner, so whether I'm teaching someone how to read, or simply helping them improve their reading skills, I introduce visual aids.
