More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

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.

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed teaching. It all began when I was really young and I would force my friends to play the students while I played the teacher. I cannot deny the fact that one of the reasons I love to teach is actually quite selfish. I definitely feel a great sense of satisfaction when a student completes a task to the best of their abilities, especially when I have helped them reached that goal. I like to be creative and use humor as my guide in teaching. I feel that comfort is most important in a learning environment and with my personality and my skills I can create such a place for your child. With everything that I have learned and everything that I have yet to learn, I think I can help your child meet his/her potential.
I am currently studying Secondary Education with a concentration in English as SUNY New Paltz. I will be graduating in December 2009. At SUNY New Paltz I h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning.
Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grad ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a certified teacher since 2007. I have experience with students with disabilities, which helps me to target problem areas for every type of student, not just those with on-paper disabilities. I tutor students at the high school level for math and English studies. I do my homework for each student, helping to assess where they miscue and how I can intervene. I make things more simple and make students' scores increase.
I prefer a more Socratic approach, whereby I question a student on "why" they are doing something rather than just repeating what they've been told or working from rote memory. I help students learn how to question themselves and work through processes so that when I am not there, they can effectively lead themselves. I am patient and dedicated. I love helping students succeed.

More About This Tutor...

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 and attention.
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 fami ... read more

I enjoy helping students who need extra help. I have much patience and understanding. I start from the ground up, don't skip any steps and become familiar as I can with students abilities, strengths as well as weaknesses. I enjoy making a difference in students lives. Both my high school and my GED students appreciated my help very much.
Have a BS degree in Economics from Fordham University. Twenty years of experience writing real estate appraisal reports have improved my writing abilities greatly. High School regents final grades were 98 on Algebra. 96 on geometry and 78 on trigonomitry (hardest class in high school). I believe I got a B in calculus both in high school and college. Have privately tutored math students in high school and college as well as over the past four years. Helped several students pass GED as well as do well in Algebra and Geometry.

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 managing my household. In doing so my husband and I instilled our two boys with a strong work ethic. I completed a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management a dozen years later. This online experience allowed me to develop a level of written communication skills that my professors as well as my employers could appreciate. I also earned 113 credits towards a Liberal Arts Degree at Queens College right out of High School. I majored in English Literature and minored in Education.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information.
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 a ... read more
