Experienced tutor available

My engaging style is evident at the start of each tutoring session. I show my students by personal example how to persevere and succeed in academics and in life. For the past 15 years, I have been a full-time tutor for students in grades 1-12. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with an emphasis in physical and cultural anthropology and an ongoing fascination with the study of prehistoric human societies. Presently, I use my diverse experience as a tutor, copy editor and radio news broadcaster to make each tutoring session truly memorable for my students. My students quickly see how much I care for their progress and success. I consider tutoring to be much more than just a profession, but a way to provide others with needed assistance. It is this goal, when met, which provides me with my greatest satisfaction as an educator.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a NYS Certified Elementary School Teacher, currently working as a Staff Developer for Eastern Suffolk BOCES, training administrators and teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions, especially as these data relate to student performance on the NYS Assessments.

I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I a ... read more

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 st ... read more

After earning my BA in English and raising a family, I returned to school to take graduate courses in Elementary Education at Dowling College in Oakdale, New York. I completed my student teaching at Stagecoach Elementary School, but decided to accept a job as a Senior Educator at The Long Island Museum of Art, History and Carriages where I wrote and taught art and literacy programs for all ages. I also worked for years as an English tutor for St. James Tutoring agency, which served homebound elementary and high school students at the request of various school districts in Suffolk County.
I believe that successful teaching begins with engaging the student. If students are given what I call a "hook" something on which to secure new information, then learning can take place. This can be simply piquing the student's interest, building on past knowledge, posing a question or mystery ... read more
