Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waterport, NY

I am someone who understands that not all children learn effectively the same way. I am someone who will sit down with my student and ask them questions regarding how they learn and how they do not learn. Sometimes a student will not know how they learn effectively but they will know what does not work for them. From there I try to tailor a program to suit that student. As a tutor you are able to have that one on one time and you can design your instructions for a specific student therefore making your teaching more effective. While pursuing a double degree from the University at Buffalo and working part-time, I worked in peer tutoring groups for Latin and writing. I have experience proof reading papers and correcting grammar. My four semesters of college Latin have given me a understanding of English language origins and modern usages. Latin also helps me to use punctuation and grammar

After finishing Graduate School, I immediately began working as a 7th Grade Summer School English Teacher. Along with a one month Long-Term Substitute position teaching 9th and 11th grade English and Advanced English, I was prepared to take on a full-time role. Now as a full-time English Language Arts Support Study Teacher, I work closely with small groups of students to help improve their ELA skills and their general study skills to help improve their overall educational performance. I believe that each student has a unique learning style and therefore, teachers must develop a unique approach to each an every student. By providing a comfortable learning environment, students feel more open to share and learn. Trust and respect between teacher and student is essential for the best learning to take place. With a student-centered approach, each individual can gain the most from their t

I have more than nine years of dependable skilled experience working with all types of children with special needs. Throughout the nine years of my teaching career, I have taught both elementary and secondary students. I have been noticed as a teacher whom has the ability to work with children of various intellectual, behavioral and physical challenges. I am also hands-on when it comes to developing my students individualized educational programs and communicating with home. I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned.

I am a hands on teacher. I like to get to the very rudimentary components of whatever we are learning and build on that foundation. There are no shortcuts but I do believe through repetition of the building blocks it allows to understand more complex concepts in each subject. Tutored General Chemistry 1, General Chemistry 2, Organic Chemistry 1, Organic Chemistry 2 and Calculus 1. Every student I have consistently tutored over the years, there has been improvement in scores. As long as I have the material that is needed for tutoring prior to the tutor session, the session should be very effective in improving grades and most importantly understanding.

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 enjoy watching children realize that they are smart and have gifts. I encourage and emotionally support my subjects when teaching. Teaching is just as much about gaining the trust and confidence of your student as it is imparting information . As long as a child knows he/she is respected, cared for and loved, he/she will give you a chance to teach them to learn. The best learning environment is created by consistency, sincerity and honesty by the teacher. I am a 1983 graduate of Hobart College in upstate New York. I have a B.A. in Psychology and have worked as a Substance Abuse Primary Therapist in the Rochester, N.Y. area from 1991 until 2000.

My focus is on students’ needs and goals and the willingness to explore options and alternative courses of action.

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 dental school and has his own practice! My background in science and math, as well as human psychology, enables me not only to teach the curriculum, but also to understand those academic areas which are common roadblocks to many students. I am motivated to bring knowledge, model tenacity and give hope to my students. It is a thrill to help a student who is struggling with a subject and see him/her become comfortable and begin to enjoy the academic journey. 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.
