A Little Bit About Me...

In 2005 I graduated from Fredonia University with childhood education including a middle school extension in English. I completed my master's degree in Special Education from Medaille University in 2008. I hold a New York Certification in Childhood Education as well as English through grade 9. I have worked in many educational levels throughout the elementary and middle school. I spent 3 years as a teacher's aide in a pre-school setting. I spent a year as the academic intervention specialist in a elementary school. I have also spent 2 years as a general education teacher in the first grade. I am willing and capable to tutor any student in grades K-9.
I believe that all students have a different way and style of learning. As an educator I take an open approach to teaching. For each student to succeed they must find a style of learning that suits them. I take the time to fi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I also developed a positive behavior management system that teaches students responsibility and accountability. My system has reinforced my philosophy of teaching; students learn and work better when a positive environment surrounds them.
Through my teaching experience, I have learned the importance of the relationship between the community and maintaining a positive classroom environment. As a student teacher I have had experience keeping parents involved with classroom activities and I believe that parental involvement is an important factor in creating effective teaching and learning for all students. Currently I am student teaching at Buffalo Public School #11, Poplar Street Academy. I lead small groups in the afternoon and use Harcourt Intervention to provide enrichment for struggling readers. I have been successful in pulling two of the five students up to benchmark level.

More About This Tutor...

I previously taught foreign students through a grant with Buffalo State Research foundation for 2 yrs and it needed patience due to the language barrier we had to work on in addition to the school work. I saw success in this students who made it todifferent colleges when some of them could not speak English when they first got here.
I always strived to be the best student I can be. I have a bachelors in business and a master diploma in computer Science. I started but have not continued with my MBA due to lack of funds. I have been lucky to secure jobs that have given me extensive experience as a Financial analyst in different industies including Healthcare.

More About This Tutor...

I am a Substitute Teacher in Williamsville, Grand Island, Niagara Falls. I have spent the last two years tutoring students on and off, while completing my masters in Mathematics Education. I have experience teaching everything from fractions & decimals to multivariate calculus and differential equations.
I make my students work hard, and show them that more often than not they already know what they need to do. I ask questions and help student build off of what they already know, to get where they need to be. I adhere to both State and National standards while preparing students for local, regents exams, AP, and college exams.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them achieve the best they can. I have been teaching kids as a substitute for many years and went back to school in my middle 30's to become a teacher. Unfortunately the availability of teaching positions in my area has prevented me from full time employment but I've kept myself busy subbing and working with young adults and those with disabilities further their educational needs.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high d ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging.
I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!

A Little Bit About Me...

Education has always been a priority in my life. During my four years as an undergraduate student, I created a major that covered a breadth of areas including psychology,biology,chemistry, math,and physics. I also have a passion for English. I have assisted PhD students in research as well as conducted my own research which has honed both my grammatical and analytical skills. Throughout my college career I have tutored students in the sciences, math, French, and English. I am currently in the masters program at UB for high school biology education and currently student teaching.
Everyone has a different style of learning. It is always my goal to find out what style best suits the student. Whether they are vsisual learners, or simply need multiple ways of hearing an explanation, I strive to meet the needs of each individual person. My greatest joy comes from seeing my students su ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a literacy volunteer I was awakened to a deep desire to achieve my degree in a career in the helping profession. This profession opened doors for a career change in education. I embraced the challenges of a teacher/professor for students ranging from kindergarten to senior citizens, both in the class room setting and one-on-one tutoring in the home settings and community programs. Teaching continues to be the common thread that binds my life experiences with the core person I continue to grow into.
I love working with people of all ages and from a verity of cultures in an educational setting. I firmly believe that every person can learn but that each person has a dominate and secondary learning style of their own. In order to enhance learning for the student, I enjoy the challenge of developing and implementing lesson plans to match the students learning style. My teaching ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an educator, I will bring compassion and energy into my classroom. I would like to have a positive impact on all of my students’ lives and show them that everyone has the ability to learn. I enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow. Each student learns differently therefore I will provide many different learning styles throughout each lesson.
My student teaching was completed at Rochester City School District School #16 in a general education classroom, and special education at Buckman Heights Elementary School in an integrated co-teaching classroom. My student teaching and other observation hours have given me experience in many urban as well as a suburban school district. I have also had two years experience as a substitute teacher in three different school districts.
