TOEFL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Beacon, NY

Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students. I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs.

My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices. As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, incl

I have several years of tutoring experience at various settings including urban, suburban, and rural high and middle schools. I have tutored such subjects as French, Spanish, Math, and English. I have also tutored college students in subjects including sociology, psychology, statistics, and others. I have instructed students on various study techniques, writing skills, and note-taking practices. I am currently a licensed social worker with a range of experiences building rapport with young people and collaborating with school staff and officials. I enjoy tutoring immensely and look forward to beginning again. I like the challenge of engaging and reaching different types of learners. I use my social works skills in tutoring and vice versa. I think these two fields are closely related in the sense that I seek to empower my students as I would my clients.

Learning should be meaningful, enjoyable and lasting. Establishing a solid student-to-teacher rapport is an essential ingredient in the learning process which is of utmost importance to me. I believe that effective teaching requires a holistic understanding of a student, in addition to specific knowledge of his/her academic strengths and weaknesses. With this information, I try to identify suitable learning styles and preferences in order to develop strategies to enhance student learning. I encourage students to challenge themselves by setting the academic bar high but make necessary adjustments to allow for individual differences. With patience, care and determination, I strive to bring out the best in all of my students. Languages are my passion. I learned to speak Spanish while studying in Spain prior to enrolling in college. Studying abroad was an education in and of itself, which

The key to a good teaching style is creativity and adaptability. It is the job of the teacher to adjust his teaching style to fit the needs of the student. Some students respond well to visual cues; such as drawings in the case of teaching English as a Second Language. Others will respond to verbal instruction and still others will respond best to written instruction. The key is to determine what style best suits the student. Observation and questions are the best way to find out which approach works best. As a Boy Scout I worked to help my fellow Scouts advance through the ranks and learn the skills that would help them become better Scouts and better young men. As an ESL teacher in both Germany and Spain I worked with a wide variety of students; from German civil engineers to Spanish middle schoolers. I also taught subjects such as Civics and Art through the medium of English. As a

I have four and a half years of tutoring/mentoring experience, three of which were at the Warren Wilson College Writing Center. I helped ESL students with their composition and grammar skills, and worked with others to find strategies to approach their writing with less stress and more confidence. I moved to S.Korea shortly after my college graduation,and privately tutored students who were studying ESL. I designed the curriculum that supplemented their studies.My experiences working with children also include mentoring at-risk youth. Whether a student is studying for their SATs, or working on their grammar and writing skills, I have the tools and experience it takes to help them succeed. Tutoring is something I passionately enjoy, as it allows me to tailor my creativity towards each student's needs. My teaching style involves getting to know each student’s strengths and passions so that

Upon graduation with a BA from Pace University I started working as a Social Studies teacher at Walton High School where I worked for 5 years. I have received MA in Social Studies. Now I work as a substitute teacher at Bronxville Public School.

I have worked with students of different age groups as well as different ability levels. I am fair, knowledgeable and determined to make sure that the child can achieve his/her full potential.

I love imparting knowledge and observing a lot of "aha" moments when a person understands the material. I would describe my teaching style as engaging, relaxed but focused on learning the pertinent material. I present to the pupil/student 2-3 different approaches to a problem and have them pick one approach he/she is most comfortable with. As a recent graduate of a rigorous medical school program, I have been able to succinctly summarize and whittle down an extraordinary amount of information into actionable parts. As a result of my experience, I am able to teach friends, college and medical school colleagues need-to-know knowledge(English,biochemistry,physics, statistics, mathematics) in an time-constrained environment.
