Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences. I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be just as

Drills with multiple NCLEX questions from many different sources. Previous nursing tutor at Dutchess Community College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Have compiled multiple Power Points over the years which explain concepts in simple terms and which have illustrations of concepts which will not be found in nursing textbooks. Unfortunately, nursing textbooks tend to be a faceless landscape which is presented to the student with many complex concepts. It is important that the student be able to visualize the concepts as nursing is all about understanding and not memorization. At exam time, students are normally assigned approximately 19 chapters of reading. The brain needs concrete ob

Ilene P - Mountain Dale, NY 12763 (5.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I will fit my teaching to the client. If a student learns with visuals, I will use visuals. If a student is an aural learner, I will cater to that side. I am very flexible and take direction very well.
I have taken a year or more of each language I am qualified to tutor. The languages are Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. I also lived in Italy for a couple of months, in the Northern region. So I have real world experience speaking the language. I have recently graduated from Purchase College with an Undergraduate degree in Music with a minor in English. During School I tutored students in English composition and edited students essays and papers during the entirety of my undergraduate education.

Tara M - Newburgh, NY 12550 (20.2 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I have a very patient approach to teaching others and always take special care to cater to different learning styles. I can adjust my tutoring style under almost any circumstances to accommodate each and every student based on their strengths and interests. I believe learning can be fun and interesting so long as the instructor is enthusiastic and holds the student's full attention for the duration of the instructional session. My overall style is based on the repetition and review of topics while implementing simplistic and relevant examples for a better understanding of concepts. After recently enrolling in the MBA Program at SUNY New Paltz, I have begun to realize that I will never be satisfied when it comes to learning. I have always sought to broaden my horizons through continuing education. In addition to my schooling, I am employed full time as the Administrative Manager for a Non

Eileen L - New Windsor, NY 12553 (22.4 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I do enjoy helping anyone write a well developed and educated paper on the topic at hand. My specific style of teaching, especially for the 8th grade, is to read the current book being used, and then present my lesson with lecture, interactive discussion and comprehension, based on the age and grade of the student. I like to put the lesson into terms that the age group can relate to, and then assign a memory technique that will teach the students to recall the proper answer by using the examples we have discussed in class. That is the same method that I use myself when I need to write a paper. I read it, analyze it, comprehend it, and then write a paper based on what I can relate it too. This technique is very effective when teaching religion, and I have taught my students to use the same technique when attending academic study. Upon my decision to return to college and obtain my BS

Carolyn C - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (24.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $48.00/hr.
As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press. My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of

ChristiAnne M - Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 (37.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $53.50/hr.
I am currently in my last semester of my Masters program at St. John’s University and will have my New York State Initial certification in K-6 by May 2011.As a student teacher in the first and fourth grade classrooms, I have been able to utilize and build upon the courses taken as part of my education. I was able to design and implement my own lesson plans, as well as modify to meet the needs of all students. From this experience I have been able to further develop instruction for both groups and individuals in reading and math. Prior to my student teaching I was a teaching assistant in a preschool for students with disabilities. I believe each child learns in their own way. Therefore, differentiated instructional strategies are important in helping each child become as successful as possible. It is important for children to feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Erin N - Honesdale, PA 18431 (39.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have earned a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have over 15 years of teaching experience in all grade levels. I have spent the majority of my teaching career educating young adults in the areas of math, science, reading, social studies and writing. Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. Being devoted to this assertion confims that I have made the right career choice for myself. I love working with young people, and will continue to strive to be a positive influence in their lives.

Barak I - Tarrytown, NY 10591 (44.4 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I believe that students need to be engaged in the learning process. This requires a comfortable open atmosphere where a student's curiosities can be encouraged. Students must learn to develop an appetite for learning so that they can continue to do so throughout their lives. I believe that education should empower students. They should feel strengthened as a result of the skills and knowledge they develop in the classroom. Positive reinforcement is key to boosting student confidence which in turn will encourage them to pursue further challenges and greater wisdom. I have recently completed an MAT degree at SUNY New Paltz as well as certification to teach Social Studies at the secondary level. My training involved in depth analyses of various educational philosophies and practical applications of pedagogy. I also have an exceptionally well developed understanding of the content concerning
