I was a substitute teacher for Wappingers Central School district from April 2013 to June 2014. I taught grades 6 - 12 for a variety of subjects including, but not limited to Social Studies, Spanish, English, Music, and Special Education. One particular position I held was that I was a substitute Spanish teacher at Van Wyck Jr. High School teaching grades 7 - 8 from February to March 2014. As a musician, before moving to the area, I was on the Executive Board of American Federation of Musicians Local 238 - 291. I have been playing French horn for 16 years and guitar for 13 years.

Central New York and Northern PA Professional Tutor

I am a professional writer who has published nearly 1,000 Internet articles. I hold a degree in English and my specialty is Literature. I am well versed in Shakespeare.

I believe in a student led teaching style. The student will find the answers on their own with my guidance. I will assist struggling students but I will ask them to solve the problem before I volunteer the answers.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way street. I am dedicated, patient, and caring as a teacher, and I believe that with a good learning environment and a teacher committed to her students, every student can achieve academic success. Because every student has unique experiences both in and out of the classroom, whenever possible, I build upon those experiences. I do not believe that educators hold the “key to knowledge”; rather, I believe that students hold this key, and it is the educator’s job to help students discover it within themselves.
Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the right environment, anyone can learn. I look forward to being that "right guidance."
I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have no formal teaching experience, I do have been developing my teaching style for many years while I worked with the developmentally disabled. I learned to identify a teachable moment, which is a time at which the student would be most receptive to learning. As a tutor, I would create those moments and boost confidence by encouraging the student to explore the subject in the way that is most interesting to them. When a child or student asks a question, I will guide them through a thought process so they can come up with the answer themselves.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in journalism from Oswego State University. While in school I studied psychology and child development as well as great works of literature. I have always had a knack for grammar and spelling and I enjoy proofreading documents and helping others to develop their ideas. I ... read more

As an educator and parent, I love working with children, and have been involved with their welfare and education for many years. Raising my three children, who are all M.D.'s, and working with all children, I feel I have found my life's work. Currently, I am a substitute teacher at Montrose Jr. Sr. High School. In the summer I teach elementary school students at Kopernik Space and Science Center in Vestal, New York. We use an inquiry approach with many hands-on, experiental science activities. Seasonally, I instruct children in science at both Lackawanna State Park, and Salt Springs State Park. I also tutor in reading.

More About This Tutor...

I believe students should be treated with respect - just like real people! I believe all students can succeed when given a solid foundation of information and guidance and encouragement. I feel the most damaging thing a teacher can do to a student is to make them feel inferior or "stupid", so I correct gently and offer clear criticism and help the student backtrack to see where they need help understanding or practicing something. I feel critical thinking skills are the most important skill anyone can have, and learning to write clearly to express those critical thoughts in an articulate manner gives people a powerful mode of communicating with others and making their ideas known and heard.
As an adjunct English professor, I have taught basic college composition and various literature courses for a decade. I have worked closely with students to help them improve their writing on t ... read more

I believe that one key to successfully helping children of all ages to learn, is a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Since every child learns differently, I always adapt my style of teaching a particular subject to best fit the needs of each individual. I have found that incorporating every day examples and scenarios into the concepts that a student is learning, can help them better understand the subject matter, and the application of these concepts. As an educator, I am flexible and rely on numerous resources to help demonstrate topics. I have a very approachable and patient demeanor, and a sincere passion for assisting each student I work with to understand what they are studying and allowing them realize what they are capable of.

I have a passion for teaching children at various educational levels. I believe that it is important for teachers to create a positive learning environment. That is why I strive to make sure that students feel comfortable sharing their opinions, and experiences, as well as asking questions in my classroom. Students learn best when they are engaged, which is why I try to make sure that my students are actively participating in their learning. Teacher-teacher and teacher-parent collaboration are also crucial to students' success. My patience and ability to empathize with students foster student growth.
During this past school year I was a practicum student in a second and third grade self contained 15-1 classroom. This placement gave me the opportunity to teach math, science, and reading to students with learning disabilities and various instructional needs. During student tea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping students of all ages learn. Education lays the groundwork for every goal that one aspires to in life. I love the English language and words. I feel that it is important for every student to come away with at least a basic understanding of how to write and speak. It will only help later in life. I love science because I have always asked 'how things work'. I am patient and enthusiastic. My energy and love of knowledge is contagious. I do not have a specific way of teaching, I adapt methods based on how the students learn best. I see potential in everyone. I have yet to meet a person that excelled at nothing. I want to make an imprint on my students that they will carry with them their entire lives.

In 2006 I was at my final step of reaching my BA in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English with only having left to complete my student teaching, but was taken by another opportunity. I moved to Japan and teach ESL and ESOL for almost 3 complete years. I taught from all ages two to adults, and learned many new skills, instruction and classroom management techniques, a new language and different ways to engage students in lessons. Most of my teaching and tutoring has been in the field of English from basic grammer skills to Chaucer. I have currently passed and am awaiting my NYS certificate as a teaching assistant and currently work in local schools as a substitute teacher. In August I will be going back to school to complete my BA.

I received my Bachelor's degree in 1989 and worked as an assistant engineer in Binghamton NY until I started my masters program at SUNY Cortland. I have held Physics, Earth science, Chemistry and Biology appointments in the years that followed in a variety of School districts throughout the state. I have spent five years tutoring and 17 teaching, including 12 years of summer school. The best thing about teaching and tutoring science is that it easily transfers to all of the other disciplines. My experiences and my insatiable appetite for learning have enabled me to make significant connections across the disciplines and to keep on learning!
I have always wanted students to really know the material being covered. This has meant keeping their interest through jovial yet concentrated lesson planning. I have always strived to make my students feel comfortable and to take on the resp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored grades k-4 in Math, reading and english for the past six years in an after school program. I have studied child development to help me relate to elementary students. My experience in writing for a newspaer has improved grammatical skills.This endeavor has given me an eye for correctness and detail to insist on with my students.
My educational background in psychology and early childhood education has given me the insight to allow student to figure out things themselves with a little prompting. My most successful tutoring has been in explaining things the way a student might relate to his own experience. Allowing time for listening gives me clues to what that experience might be.

I loved teaching! I think I retired too early because I miss the every day challenges and excitement teaching gives! I have been trained in 4Mat and Gardners Multiple Intelligences. I firmly believe "every child can learn" as long as you teach to their learning style. My daughter is following in my foot steps and will start her first teaching job in September. I truly believe if we show a child we care they can learn anything!
I am a retired school teacher that misses teaching children.I taught in a NJ public School for over 30 years. I actually taught in the same school district I attended as a child. My expertise is in 5th & 6th grades, but am available for grades 2-8. I have some science background and taught technology also.
