I have done extensive private tutoring for the past 20 years. For 17 years I worked as an elementary special education classroom teacher at New York Hospital in an out-patient day treatment program. This program involved elementary school age children who displayed severe emotional and academic difficulties and were unable to function in a regular school setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching students how to play the bass. It's a thrill when they have that "Aha" moment and what I'm trying to show them simply clicks. Every student I've ever had has had different reasons for coming to me and therefore I approach each individual differently and I try to tailor each lesson to their needs. One thing I do keep in common with all my students is encouraging them to practice and to think for themselves. Tutoring and private one-on-one lessons are the extent of my experience with teaching and hopefully I can continue to do so for as long as I'm able.
Since the age of 13 I have been playing bass. Since 1993 I've been a self employed bassist, audio engineer, producer and programmer. In addition to performing, I have extensive experience with computer audio/music recording and production. In that time, I have toured the world playing in several different musi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to work with students from the 4th grade up thru college level, and have experience working with individuals with special educational needs. I believe that each student has his/her own learning style. Some are visual learners, some auditory, some experiential. I try to tailor my teaching to each individual's style. I am patient, caring, sensitive and consistent. I am well versed in all areas of grammar, syntax and composition. I believe that every experience is a story that can be put down on paper and that every student can learn to write effectively. Most of all I believe that learning can and should be an enjoyable experience.
I have worked as a private consultant and trainer for the past 18 years. I have had over 100 feature articles and interviews published in local and statewide news publications. I have had poetry and short stories published. I have been ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am presently working on a masters for elementary and special education. I have earned a bachelor degree in Sociology. I am currently teaching in the Fairview school district. I work as a resource room teacher for third grade and kindergarten. My primary focus is language arts, reading and math. I work closely with the principal, director of special services and students case managers and classroom teachers. I have experience with autistic children and ABA.
As a teacher I have learned that every child has different need. I am able to differentiate my instruction to those needs. My teaching style provides stability and structure. I set attainable goals with my children and don't move on until a concept is mastered. I create an energetic and creative learning environment that brings out the best in my students.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate from Brigham Young University (BYU) with two degrees, I am motivated to excel in education and/or business. My first degree was a BA in History Teaching. I have taught in the classroom and worked in other education positions for 8 years. Recently, I completed an MBA at the Marriott School of Management on the campus of BYU. I have worked for Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us and I completed a project for Marriot International.
I believe most people can learn if they have a desire. Also, I believe most people can teach something they have mastered if they have a sincere desire. I love to impart what I know to others so they can make progress in their life.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from McGill University in Montreal in 2001, with a BA in Geography and a minor in History. Since then I have had a very diverse experience, working in Vermont as a teacher's aide as well as in a land trust, and in Montreal managing a nightclub and booking bands and acts from Canada and the US. My passion is English literature. I read constantly and love sharing books with my friends and students. I am fluent in French, having lived in France as a child, and graduated from the Lycee Francais de New York high school in 1997.
When I started working at Colchester High School in Vermont, I initially identified myself much more with the students than the teachers and staff. Back in high school, I went out of my way to rebel against the school. In Vermont I quickly learned that there is a big difference-- that as an adult now, I am on the "other side," but can use this closene ... read more

I have a passion for helping students of all ages and levels to comprehend academic concepts and issues. In particular, I find the one-on-one setting beneficial for my specific teaching qualities. I highly value the focus on the exchange of ideas and questions that private tutoring allows for. Additionally, I find satisfaction in the student's understanding of the material through a combination of personal investigation and my educational assistance. At the same time as I believe in rigorous discipline, I also strive to provide my students with an environment that is relaxed and stress-free.
My undergraduate education at Oberlin College has exposed me to a wide range of academic fields, including philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, physics, history, and economics. I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in reading, writing, math, and music theory for t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in a student involvement proactive approach where real life samples are implemented as part of the learning process. To teach is to have people actually take lessons learned and both interact and perform the task that will required so they can internalize the lessons learned.
As an graduate of DeVry Technical Institute and also a Faculty Assistant while attending DeVry. I possess an ability to teach others basic and intermediate math skills. While I attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, I also taught additional math and Computer Programming on a one on one basis. My teaching skills have also carried on to doing various types of Sales and Marketing training both as a mentor and as part of my day to day responsibilities. This was something I particularly implemented professionally at Atlantic Business Products, PC Marketing and COMP USA Business Services.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a unique opportunity to shape a child’s world. I want to help children achieve their best, and have found that accomplishing this goal is best undertaken by exercising patience, care, and honesty. I believe interacting with all children is very important and having a strong relationship with them will also improve my learning abilities. With the appropriate tutelage, all children can succeed to their maximum potential.
I was very motivated to accomplish a high level of excellence in education, and have earned a BS degree in both Meteorology and Mathematics. Although initially motivated to study meteorology, I took on the additional math major soon after because of my longtime love of numbers. Both majors complemented each other and enhanced my problem solving abilities. Further, both majors have afforded me the opportunity to apply Microsoft Excel to my laboratory ... read more

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory.
I have experience teaching Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. I am a native Italian and French speaker, having been born to Franco-Italian parents in Montreal, Quebec, the second largest French speaking city in the world. I have years of teaching experience at the college and high school levels. I am NY State C ... read more

During my time in SUNY Buffalo I took a wide variety of classes which have exposed me to different fields. Specifically, I excelled in those subjects relating to math and writing. As a result of my success, I was able to tutor my peers who were taking those classes with me, as well as those who had previously done poorly and were re-taking those classes. In regards to math, I took calculus and statistics, and received A's in both those subjects. Writing was also an integral part of all my classes when I attended Michigan State University during my freshmen year. My grammar and sentence structure was perfected, and I also learned how to write about a broad range of topics, from U.S. History to Accounting Principles.
I believe that there is no one standardized method to teach, rather each individual is unique in their learning abilities. Therefore, while teaching I often gauge ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed working with children and believe that they learn best when encouraged to participate in the educational process. My style is to allow them to discover information rather than being force fed. I also believe that every child learns differently and you have to be aware that what works with one person does not necessarily work with the next. I believe that I can be flexible enough that anyone can learn with me.
As an Ivy League graduate, I have always sought the best educational experience possible. I have earned my bachelors degree in Human Developement and Family Studies, a multi disciplinary major which incorporated psychology, sociology and other humanities. Over the last 20+ years I have worked with various populations that have required special attention due to being under educated and/or drug addicited. Although I have little formal classroom experie ... read more
