Hands-on, smiles-on!

Hey! My names Bethy! I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I've been tutoring since I was in 5th grade. I can tutor all ages in almost any subject. Last year I had the highest GPA in my whole school! I love teaching anyone who is willing to learn! I also teach children with learning disabilities and special needs.
I am very laid back and flexible. While I might be calm I only have 3 rules, 1. Be respectful, 2. the words "I can't" are not allowed :), and 3. have fun! I tend to create games based on the skills that are being taught and I'm not into lecturing, my approach is very hands. Learning can be fun!

A Little Bit About Me...

Hands on. Conversational lessons
I have been signing for over 20 years. I am not certified because I chose not to be. I prefer working with adults that are deaf/blind. Im an employment specialist, so i am also skilled in teaching and training people. I love sign and working in this population. My husband is deaf and my children (11 & 6) are signers. I taught my children sign at an early age (starting at 2 months) .This was successful and my children were able to communicate their needs and not become frustrated.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in the incorporation of the latest technologies when teaching materials. Critical thinking is a great tool that helps to expand the understanding of concepts, and I seek to assist students not only with answering their current homework questions, but also to succeed with all areas covering the materials in which assistance is being sought. I have been commended for my ability to effectively communicate these concepts.
I have experience in tutoring online and in person with various agencies. I have also taught recitation sections of Pre-Calculus and Calculus. In addition, I have experience classifying questions into common core standards. I have planned lessons, created supplementary curriculum, and led review sessions.

Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I am a certified (NIC) American Sign Language interpreter. I have been actively involved and working within the Deaf community for about 10 years.

For the past seven years I have worked full time as a job coach at Lexington Center for the Deaf Vocational Services Center in Jackson Heights, NY. I also volunteered in their Independent Living Center for two years prior to my employment with them. In 2010 I was a private tutor for a neighborhood adolescent, teaching him basic sign language to better help him communicate with his family, as he is unable to use his voice. I have also spent time volunteering at the Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Individuals, where I received training to become a certified Supported Service Provider (SSP). Occasionally I also work with the New York Parent Network to provide interpretation for their various workshops and events. I also volunteer often with New York Deaf Theater, as I also have a strong background in and love for theater.

More About This Tutor...

I would say that all people are capable of learning and improving their abilities, knowledge, and skill. My experience has been that if a child, youth, or adult is given the space in which to learn, and introduced to material in a patient manner, in the style that works for them (be that through explanation or visual learning, etc) they will take the initiative to learn and grow at the pace and direction which works for them. People are naturally inclined to learn and grow, and my experience is that when given the opportunity and supportive role of a teacher, they will become interested in learning and continue to do so.

More About This Tutor...

My style is open to discussion. I like to ask questions to the student about the knowledge they have and based on that, apply my knowledge to build a strong base to be used as a core to solve more problems. I live the one on one interaction but also love the group discussion. I used to tutor an entire classroom during summer for 6 hours straight.
I started around 2005 tutoring for the departments of chemistry and math in Queensborough Community College, from the basic levels in organic chemistry 2 and calculus. I earned my Associate degree in science from Queensborough Community College and finished my Bachelor Degree in Stonybrook University. At Stonybrook University also tutor chemistry and math. During the summer 2006, I had the entire department of chemistry tutoring under my guide. My experience comes from teaching my own classes and from interacting with my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a life long learner, and encourage all students to be life long learners as well. I love working with all children and have a true confidence that all children can learn, although possibly through different teaching styles. I am patient and work well with others (parents/guardians/professionals) to meet the needs of each and every student. I find that the environment in which the student is placed plays a major role in how and what is learned. My main goal is to make a difference in all students' lives and find that the most rewarding parts of teaching derive from the nurturing relationships I forged with every student and the sense of confidence they felt as they experienced success and growth within themselves.
Through my University’s thorough teacher preparation program, I worked with general education students and students with disabilities. I promote the development and w ... read more

I believe that teaching is a great challenge, and even though some types of learning are best conveyed in a traditional fashion, for most other types of learning, a non-traditional form of is more enjoyable. As a future educator, I will have a whole classroom full of individuals with different learning styles, different strengths, weaknesses, attitudes, lifestyles, and different motivations, and because of this, I will have to make sure that my students feel connected to what they are learning.
I am a dedicated educator eager to resume tutoring. I offer a proven track record of commended performance teaching and assisting students in grades preschool-12th, with a passion for education and a commitment to optimizing student and school success.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.
