My comments on tutoring Government : I have taught the Constitution in American History, but not Comparative Government.

I try to engage my student, to tease the learning out of him or her. I have learned to explain, to give the information then to step back, allowing my student to think through to the conclusion. This involves silence sometimes, and the student talking more while I talk less, something not so easy for a teacher of Italian descent. Experiences has shown, however, that it often works.
My name is John Calleri and I have been a teacher for more than 30 years. During that time, I have taught in two languages, English and Spanish, and in three countries: the United States, Germany, and Spain. I have taught Social Studies to grades 7 to 12, Spanish to grades 9 to 11, and GED (high school equivalency) to students aged 17 to 40. My students have been stateside Americans, newly arrived immigrants to the U.S., the children of our military in Germany, and native Spaniards in the Canary Islands, ... read more

I have taught for nine years in a variety of settings (suburban, urban, charter) with students that have varying levels of ability. I have been able to help students reach their goals by customizing learning plans based upon student strengths. Most of my teaching experience comes in a special education setting through integrated co-teaching (in the general education classroom) and in the self-contained setting.

Teach multiple strategies and techniques for successful learning!
My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills.

More About This Tutor...

I love trying to help children gain knowledge. I believe anyone is capable of learning something new no matter how old they are and that patience and the use of deductive knowledge are they key's to having someone develop their knowledge. My method of teaching will evoke these attributes as well as reptition so that not only will your child know the material I am tutoring by the time that I am done, but it will also become routine to them. My main goal will be to teach them to know how to reason and analyse themselves while guideing them to make the right choices on their academic work.
As a UB graduate, I was very driven to learn the most I could in the areas of humanities and social sciences. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in History and BA in Political Science. With history, I wrote many essays that required me to decipher large amounts of kryptic writing aging back from ... read more

I have tutored children in groups and one on one. I enjoy both. However I really enjoy one on one because I feel like I can help a struggling student that my not have the confidence to ask questions in a group. One on one sessions also allow students to express concern about other issues other than academic areas. I believe that If I can increase the confidence in each child, there can be more children striving to do their best academically
I am very passionate about helping children learn, and to be a mentor for them. I have three years of experience in tutoring children part time and as a volunteer. I have tutored in the areas of math, history, and science. I will obtain my Bachelors in May 2011.

More About This Tutor...

I have ten years experience teaching at the college undergraduate level at Canisius College, and five years at Hilbert College. I have been teaching Music History and Music Appreciation classes and always put the music into the social context in which it was produced. I have also taught World Music and Afro-Centric classes and again, place the content in its social context. Prior to this I had a number of years teaching Social Studies and English classes as a guest artist/musician in numerous area high schools. These have included both full classes and individual tutoring sessions. I feel that all this experience puts me in an excellent position for tutoring in History, Social Studies, Humanities, English and Music.
My background in music performances in a school setting has taught me to be able to connect with a student in a very direct and honest manner. Each student is diffe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until graduating in 2008. In my senior year I gained employment as a tutor/mentor for several government-funded high school tutor/mentor programs including GEAR UP through Canisius and Upward Bound through D’Youville. Finally, I was able to capitalize on my experience tutoring by landing my current position as educational coordinator for a 21st Century Program at the Father Belle Community Center. As educational coordinator, I tutor, direct other tutors, and arrange for the provision of life skills courses.
I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Fur ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I’ve taught English and Theater at a variety of school settings for five years, including a self-contained classroom for “at risk” youth, an inner city arts magnet school, and a private alternative school for emotionally disturbed teens. In addition, I’ve taught Theater at the university and community college level for sixteen years. I believe that teachers are essentially translators of knowledge and skills for students to access in formats, which they can make their own. I am accustomed to teaching students of wide ranging levels of skill and ability. I am a trained actor and director in theater, and so I use dynamic techniques to immerse a student in an experience through which he/she can better understand academic content and their own internal perspectives and feelings. I have studied Shakespeare extensively and believe in using challenging forms of literature to expand student ... read more

I am very much invested in both structured and intuitive teaching. I consistently try to instill in my students a sense of the dynamic interplay between these two facets of the production and maintenance of knowledge. I encourage them to know the inside of "the box", but to be ready and willing to think outside of it when the situation demands it (as it very often does). I want my students to speak for themselves, but to be equally capable of listening. I view teaching as a collaborative endeavor, and it is my firm belief that both teacher and student are always engaged in both aspects of its cause. That is, we are always both teachers and students together.
I graduated from Rutgers University Cum Laud, and with departmental honors in English. After completing my undergraduate degree I traveled to Chile where I taught English at three private academies from grades 8 to 12. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was recognized for my teaching abilities during my undergraduate years, having been selected as a teaching assistant as a freshman for sociology courses. As a graduate student, I spent much of my time as a teaching assistant and later as an instructor at the college level. I spent several years reading and evaluating statewide public school exams in science, math and writing, while helping shape the questions asked by state exam boards for primary and secondary school students. I became fluent in Spanish living and working in Central America and Mexico, as well as through immersion in Spanish speaking communities in the USA. I am a published writer and editor in nonfiction writing. I have also published academic papers.
I believe in finding methods appropriate to each student, depending on their level of development and interests. There is no simple way to help stu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child.
I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an avid reader & writer, I have assisted many people in both written and spoken English. I instructed young people in the Army and as the owner of a small business. I have extensive experience in writing "White Papers" as the Deputy Director of Government and Community Affairs for the New York State National Guard. I was very active in political campaigns and have written and delivered oral remarks to government officials at the highest level (Congress). I have found that the inability to express yourself in written material impacts all aspects of a working / school career. Intelligence and knowledge without writing and speaking ability is useless.
I ask those whom I have taught to prepare written material on a subject. I do not attempt to "change their style" but only to adapt their own thoughts to the correct English usage. I also ask students to read their work aloud in or ... read more
