Communications Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Atlanta, NY

Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate effective writing and useful technique. For 20 years I was a financial analyst at a NY brokerage, where I turned out 2,500 words per day of analysis and commentary. I was also a language and usage consultant at a financial boutique and a legal proofreader. I am particularly good at eliciting enthusiasm for good writing and appreciation of English grammar. I am a practiced writer with business and creative writing experience and training. Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she needs

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal. Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I ca

Coming from a large family and having a large family myself, I have always been around children of all ages and enjoyed working with kids to develop themselves and prepare them for a meaningful place in our society. I am very patient with children and will use different approaches to teach. I try very hard to install a love of learning and work hard to encourage a curiousity of any subject that interests them. I believe in a strong basis of arithmetic skills in younger grades. In the high school, I use real-world applications to develop problem-solving skills through the use of mathematics. I was let go from a local company earlier this year. I have decided to make a career change and my goal is to teach math at the high school level. I have a year of college to be certified. I'm a full student at CCC, and will take the Pedagogy requirements at Elmira College. I intend to tu

Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese. I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true)

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 and presentation structure, and improve their grammatical writing skills. This included training individual writers and presenters on effective communication strategies by understanding their target audience to develop an effective message. I also have 17 years experience in communications, including print and broadcast media, web management, corporate presentations, Scientific Editing and Technical Writing. Familiar and ex

I love to work with children of all ages. It is the most rewarding job, watching the children grow and learn. I love being part of the learning process and the way children get so excited when they learn a new skill or master one they have been trying hard to achieve. I believe that all children learn differently and as a teacher it is important to find what works best for the individual child. As a parent of two children ages 3 and 8 i have had first hand experience in tutoring and teaching. I have also worked at Head Start for 5 years. During this time I have gained an extensive amount of experience and knowledge of teaching basic math skills, reading, and Grammatical skills. I currently have graduated with three associate degree's and will be working towards my Bachelors in the fall of 2009. I have a great understanding for English and reading and believe that literacy is the most imp

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate, my ten years of professional teaching experience as a lead teacher of secondary English is interspersed with a variety of other relevant experience. In addition to teaching literature, composition and grammar, I have also tutored professionally for Kaplan as part of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind program and for other private tutoring services in Maine and New York. I have taken more than twelve professional development workshops and classes in English and education since 2001. I have also taught history, civics, poetry and creative writing, professional communication and drama. The great joy for me in teaching literature and composition is sharing strategies for powerful communication to students who are blocked. Although I am inspired and passionate about English, I enjoy demystifying it and revealing how skills in other areas not only apply

I am currently a 2nd Semester MBA student with a high level of ecvellence in education with a 3.75 GPA. Although I have no formal teaching or tutoring experience, I volunteered with elementary school students teaching basic math and english as an undergraduate. I have strong math skills and business knowledge in accounting and finance. I am looking to spend a few hours a week tutoring. I regularly volunteered in elementary schools and love working and teaching all children. I believe my communication skills, patience and enthusiasm can be a valuable asset in helping children reach their potential. I strongly feel that if given the opportunity and assistance, all children and strive.

Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I have also mentored adolescents in a variety of areas while working as a youth counselor. I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greate

For the past five years I have obtained a wealth of experience educating students within the public & private school environment. I currently teach fourth grade as well as the Newspaper Class. I have thrived in teaching grades four through eight at two prestigious private schools in Houston. I understand what is required to optimize a child's motivation & learning. In addition, I have other specific experiences and expertise related to teaching and education. First, while at St. Francis Episcopal Day School, I constructed and introduced a Journalism and Media Department to the school. Several high-quality student-run publications were produced, and the new department proved to be a successful venture due to the combination of my leadership and the students’ burgeoning passion for journalistic expression. Second, for the past five years, I have provided extensive tutoring to elementary

My teaching style is patient and relaxed. I encourage children to find the answers on their own with my guidance and tons of encouragement. I feel that children flourish in this type of environment. I strive to provide all the tools, guidelines, and expectations necessary up front in order to create a relaxed environment where the focus is on learning and less on apprehension or nervousness. Throughout my job positions I have mentored and tutored new coworkers to bring them up to speed on business/IT systems. I have written technical documentation and test cases for 7 years. Recently, I was attending writing-intensive classes at Empire State College which has enabled me to brush up on grammar and writing for research papers. I currently script requirements and scenarios for an IT company as a Business Analyst.

Education stands atop my own list of the most important plights of mankind. I believe people are at their highest capacity for learning when they are children, and that such open minds should be given the resources to grow and educate themselves. I am very patient and persistent in my methods. I think teaching is an art of framing the student's mind so that they find themselves more engaged in the world through expression and description of it from the human language perspective (whether numerical or verbal). I get along well with kids and as long as the student I am working with has an attitude of openness, I am sure that it will be a successful, possibly even fun, experience. As a Cornell graduate, I have had the opportunity be lectured by academic experts spanning a wide variety of disciplines, and have experienced many different teaching styles. I have worked as a course assistant,

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 degree Masters program but feel I need to have a job to justify the repayment(s) of additional student loans that would be needed to finish my MA. I have recently been a four county advocate for people with special needs as the Disabilities Program Navigator. I would still hold this position if funding had not run out. I have the abilities to work with any level of education. 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.

Since learning is such an individual endeavor, I believe that flexibility is one of the most important ingredients for good teaching. A good teacher (or tutor) is responsive to the student's learning style, and indeed, to the student's mood during any given learning session. I feel that I am attuned to the cues that most students give and am able to respond with an a approach that would be most effective. If the student is a visual learner, we will work with that in mind. If he or she learns better by being actively involved, then I take on the role of a coach. Obviously, one size does not fit all! I have had a variety of experiences that have prepared me to tutor students at the elementary, middle school and high school level. I have taught Sunday School for several years. I also was on a team that created a training system at Eastman Kodak and then trained production workers. I
