My teaching style is very structured and organized. I teach with the style that every child is unique and learns at their own style and pace. I do not believe in rushing learning nor that every skill, style, environment or learning setting works for every student. My teaching style also mirrors the idea that children learn through hands on, interactive, tactile, and motivating experiences, resources and materials. Most of all, my style of teaching is based upon tapping into each child's own interest or interests that academics can be related and taught through.

More About This Tutor...

Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's degree, I have been exposed to a wide variety of curriculum. I excel in teaching the required level of High School and College level mathematics and also have an aptitude for academic, technical, and narrative writing. I have tutored for the past year at the Center for Academic Support and Excellence at SUNY Cobleskill. We provide academic support to students with learning disabilities and emotional challenges, but it is also open to students just needing a little extra help.
I try to highlight a students strengths and build solid study habits and work patterns. For instance, if a student has trouble focusing on his/her work, I try to push them for short periods of intense study, and then reward them with a break. Since my first degree was completed through an integrated, online program, I stress organizational skills. If I feel that a st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy demonstrating skills and processes and then as a coach/guide in helping students develop and apply these skills and knowledge. I show the students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that the students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. I encourage student participation. As we work together I’ll learn what best works for them and adjust to their personal learning styles.
Most of my work experience was gain as a teacher’s aide.I work in a self contained classroom.I worked with students in small groups or individually.I would grade and enter grades for the teacher.I took students to Physical Education by myself.I organize and prepare the learning material for the week.I taught science and computer skills portion of the classroom.Each stu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a full time tutor for the SUNY Research Foundation for four years and have tutored students in grades 6-9 in the areas of english,history,math and science.I am presently located at the Fort Plain High School with the research foundation program.Before this, I was a substitute teacher for three years in the following areas:math, science, english and history. This was also at the high school level.
I am a firm believer that tutoring students one-on-one is very beneficial and gives the student the added time and experience needed to excel in a certain subject. I also believe that each student has a different learning style which should be emphasized during tutoring sessions in order to make the learning experience easier,and more effective.

I am a firm believer that all children can learn if given every option to be successful. In order to achieve success, students should be surrounded with tools to help them learn and a positive learning environment is key. Teachers should not expect all children to learn at the same pace nor same learning style. I never give up on my students. Students need teachers who do not accept failure and teach perseverance.
I have devoted my life as a mother of three and as an educator. I have earned a BA in English and a Master's Degree in Special Education. In addition, I have dual certification in New York State. I am very knowledgeable in the areas of History, English, and Life Science. My students have a high success rate for passing New York State Regent's Exams.

A Little Bit About Me...

First and foremost, I believe teaching is my calling. I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since the 4th grade, and my goals were achieved when I graduated with my MA in August. I believe every child can and will learn given the right time and conditions. There has to be more than a love for children, but also a love for education to be a great teacher, and I believe I have both components. I like hands-on and creative ways of teaching.It is my goal to incorporate instructional methods that enhances every students learning needs, while preparing them to reach his or her individual goals. By integrating student interest and readiness creatively in my lessons, I am motivating and encouraging student learning.

After College I spent 8 years at a College Prep School Schuyleville, NY where I taught NY State Regents Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Algebra. I also taught Earth Science there and was a dorm supervisor. In 1980 I took a job with the NYS Division For Youth as a Math/Science teacher for incarcerated youth at risk in a residential program.

There is no one teaching style that works for all learners. It is important to provide a variety of learning styles to reach all the learners. Both inductive and deductive approches allow for children to discover and be creative which is exciting and rewarding for the learner and the teacher as well.

Tutoring should be a tool used to complement traditional education. When tutoring there is little help in providing information to the student the same way that the teacher presents it. Tutors may also fall into the trap of simply giving the student the answers. For these reasons I prefer an holistic approach to tutoring. Every student is different and they all have different ways of understanding the material. As I am tutoring I keep in mind that I am also learning, keeping an open mind about the way a students is learning helps me to determine the best method of teaching the subject at hand.
I spent nine semester at FMCC in the TRiO Student Support Services program. I began as a part time tutor and after one semester the program director saw it prudent to keep me on. During my time with the program I helped to establish several tutoring programs, one at FM and another at Amsterda ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored and did substitute teaching in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics at several local schools. I have taken several graduate courses in education including classes in methods and adolescence physiology. My philosophy of education is "Everyone is capable of learning something about anything as long as it's taught in a way that the student understands." These are my own words and I firmly believe them. Currently I teach adults in square dancing and social dancing. I also have a student with Literacy Volunteers of America. My career has been as a Computer Network Engineer. I am a member of Mensa.
Though applicable to any subject, for science and math I adhere to the inquiry method. I'm believe in the teacher finding something interesting in what is being taught, asking leading questions with which the students answer, and having the students learn through their a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a strong believer in mastering a topic as opposed to spitting out the correct response. I also believe in finding one’s main learning style and teaching to it, not that of the masses. The classroom environment seeks to teach the most people the most knowledge in a single shot. Tutoring should seek to teach an individual to their greatest potential. I strongly believe that identifying whether someone learns best by seeing, hearing or doing something and delivering the knowledge in that way helps them to better comprehend what they’re doing and be able to repeat it, no matter the scenario they’re presented with. That is, they don’t just learn to spit the answer out. They learn to understand and master the task itself.
