I take more of an inquiring approach and I become more of the facilitator and guide and direct my students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. My Overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I work with my students on projects in a consultative fashion and I try to provide as much support and encouragement as possible. I feel the advantage to this teaching style is the personal flexibility, the focus on student's needs and goals, and the willingness to explore options and alternative courses of action.

As a graduate student, I understand what it is like to be both a student and a teacher. I believe that understanding is the key to enjoying learning and retaining knowledge. As a tutor I always strive to make the material accessible to the student as well as focusing on each students’ individual strengths and abilities. I also teaching studying and organizational skills. I have often found that when students complain that they are studying long hours without results, it is because they need to learn to study differently. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Boston University in International Relations, with a focus on business and economics as well as a second B.A. in Art History. I am currently earning my Masters in psychology at SUNY New Paltz.

I have taught art to students since 1981. High school students have been my assistants through the summer youth employment program, for 3 NYC public mural projects. I have taught as an artist-in the-schools since 1985, teaching grammar school students printmaking and mural making, both in Brooklyn NY and in the Hudson Valley. Most recently, I taught homeschooled students drawing and painting in the New Paltz area of the Hudson Valley, NY. I teach with a focus on self exploration plus knowledge of natural forms. In other words, I encourage students to express themselves in their own unique way, yet I teach all the natural forms, including fauna and flora, perspective and the human form, by drawing examples. I help students master the ability to draw what they see, encouraging composition, color, shading and personal style.

I am very passionate about teaching and the children that I work with. I love getting the "ah-ha" moment when they finally understand the concept that is being taught. That moment is most rewarding. I teach through exploration, discovery, and interest of the child. I believe as a teacher that I am also a learner and always will be. Therefore if my student does not understand a particular topic and the way I am delivering it I will regroup and try something else. I have my Master's degree in Literacy education and my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I currently hold three certifications, an Early childhood B-2, a Childhood education 1-6, and a Literacy education B-6. I have had many opportunities to work with children in a variety of settings.

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable. I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which transfe

As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science. The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combin

I'd rather not use the trite statement- 'I love teaching', as true as it is. I enjoy communicating with people and I like to observe the fascinating way in which each individual thinks differently. I suppose this is what has drawn me towards teaching. That and the fact that I can be instrumental in helping someone with something that helps in learning,for all involved. I teach using different methods,based on how each student's style of understanding. My Undergraduate studies involved extensive study Art history and my Masters Diploma in Textiles helped me a lot in research studies.I also won a scholarship to study Strategic Design in Milan. I am very creative and can communicate effortlessly. During my stay in India, I volunteered in a Blind school and later in a school for slow learners and children with autism. My Masters in Psychology supplemented this learning. I worked for a year w

After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English. My experiences were wonderful as I met people who really enjoyed learning English and needed it for work. After 6 months I returned to the states and taught at a Junior High School on the Lower eastside of NYC. I left teaching after 10 years to market computers. My skills as an educator served me well and I did extremely well. After approximately 8 years I decided I wanted to go back to teaching, and have been teaching the use of computers. I enjoy helping individuals to increase their skills and achieve success! As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor.
