More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Mansfield University with a BS degree in Elementary Education with honors. I taught a temporary position in third grade (all subject areas), then was asked by the school superintendent to substitute teach in Junior and Senior High School, and Special Education classes, which I did for four more years before I had to move out-of-state for my ex-husband's job. I just spent the last 15 years working for the NYS Dept. of Corrections in many areas. I gained much experience in all aspects of office work, including computers, writing, people skills, reports, counseling, math,etc. I am currently retiring, and would like a part-time position for added income while I attend college part-time. I have always wanted to work individually with students (which is why I especially enjoyed Special Education students, and a hearing impaired student I worked with). I feel one-on -one ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have rec ... read more

Teaching is my passion. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art History with a second major in Italian and a Masters in Elementary Education with certification. These areas of study coupled with my extensive work background enable me to present challenged learners with a variety of solutions for academic struggles. I have spent many years training adults in the job force and I have three years experience in the elementary school grade levels.
I believe that encouraging, awakening curiosity and exploring all avenues of learning through hands on and academic exploration are the best tools for teaching. Finding a child’s learning style is crucial in order to address their academic needs. I am capable of providing the tools a child needs whether it is visual, verbal, kinetic, and intrapersonal or any other learning style. I feel it is very important to teach foundations and mast ... read more

I believe that students learn best when they are able to use a variety of I believe it is necessary to access prior learning in order to know where to begin the learning process. Then I believe it is necessary for students to participate in both guided practice as well as independent practice in order to assess whether or not they have a working knowledge of the material that is being taught. I also believe in using both formative assessment and summative assessment. As a teacher, I must assess whether or not the student comprehends what is being taught, and the best way to make that assessment is by a one-question formative assessment at the end of each assignment.
A requirement for completion of my Education degree was to student teach for one semester. I completed my student teaching at both a high school and a middle school. During that time, I also provided some one-on-on ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in Constructivism, whereby rudimentary skills are continually built upon; a combination of rote learning and discovery-based learning built upon a mastery of previously-learned concepts, plus testing in real-world scenarios to activate within the student the ability to apply learning through analysis and thought coupled with experimentation.
As one who holds a Bachelor's and Master's in the arts, I believe in the power of exploratory learning. However, as one who has spent considerable time working in computers and networking, I value the attainment of hard knowledge. When the two are combined according to a student's particular learning modality(ies), then learning become meaningful and accelerated. In my professional career I was largely self-taught. My success depended upon my ability to learn new concepts based upon my current knowledge set, and to continue growing ... read more

Because I have been working with highly educated adults (those with Doctorates degrees) I take a very respectful, collaborative and individualized approach to teaching. I realize individual needs vary due to educational and cultural background, and it’s important to me to be flexible in meeting a learners needs when creating an education plan that clearly identifies and develops skills that are in need of improvement.
For the past two years I have worked at Corning Incorporated teaching Scientist with English as a second language. In this role, I assessed individuals with presentation, writing, and spoken communication difficulties, identified skills in need of improvement and developed an educational plan to build these skills. As part of Corning's people development initiative, it was my role to coach departmental employees to develop a standardized format, understand report a ... read more
