I try to work at a pace that is comfortable for the student and also meets the academic requirements for their program. I have a lot of patience and encourage students to try even when they are not familiar or comfortable with a subject. The first step is always the hardest. I believe anyone can learn and feel no one is too old to go back to school. Learning and education should be encouraged no matter what stage of life we are at.
I earned Associate’s degrees in Liberal Arts and Accounting, as well as a Certificate in Office Technology. I had the highest GPA for both the Certificate and the AS in Accounting at the same time.

More About This Tutor...

All children are diverse learners. All children learn differently, and no two are alike. Good instruction includes fitting the lesson according to the learner. Tutoring a child who is a book learner is different than a child who needs visuals or manipulatives. Some children need academics tied into real life experiences. My teaching style includes designing instruction according to individual student needs in order to enhance their learning. I am a patient teacher and believe that all children are capable of great success if given the right tools and formatted instruction.
As a certified teacher I taught for 3 years in inner city Phoenix. I worked with diverse cultures needing strong literary support. A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts fo ... read more

I am a recent graduate of SUNY Potsdam. I received my bachelors degree in physics, and minored in mathematics. I also hold two associate degrees, one in Liberal Arts and another in Math & Science.

More About This Tutor...

As I stated above, I am really comfortable working one-on-one with students. I feel that we can get to know each other, I can learn the way the student best learns, and where his problems lie. I feel the student can develop trust and confidence both in me and himself in this type of situation which may help to carry over into a regular classroom. It is important to learn how the student best comprehends, and proceed from there.
I graduated from Mansfield University with a BS degree in Elementary Education with honors. I taught a temporary position in third grade (all subject areas), then was asked by the school superintendent to substitute teach in Junior and Senior High School, and Special Education classes, which I did for four more years before I had to move out-of-state for my ex-husband's job. I just spent the last 15 years working for the NYS Dept. of Corrections in many ... read more

I believe that encouraging, awakening curiosity and exploring all avenues of learning through hands on and academic exploration are the best tools for teaching. Finding a child’s learning style is crucial in order to address their academic needs. I am capable of providing the tools a child needs whether it is visual, verbal, kinetic, and intrapersonal or any other learning style. I feel it is very important to teach foundations and mastery especially in math and reading. With these fundamentals in place, education is truly attainable for any child.
Teaching is my passion. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art History with a second major in Italian and a Masters in Elementary Education with certification. These areas of study coupled with my extensive work background enable me to present challenged learners with a variety of solutions for academic struggles. I have spent ma ... read more
