Every man and woman must learn from cradle to grave.

Socratic, and lecture. It really depends on subjects. For example, case analysis in a political science or philosophy course can be more constructively learned through the Socratic method - that is, an open and inclusive discussion in the form of question and answer. Other subjects, such as psychology or geology may be best taught in the form of direct lectures with the opportunity to ask questions.
I have years of excellent experience with analyzing, writing, and assisting others in academic as well as professional settings. I have done extensive research on various topics in Political Science and my experiences have taught time that there is never an end to learning, and there is no one single perfect answer to questions about natural or man-made phenomena.

Tutoring for YOU with compassion and excellence

I work with students on their level, and then assist students to build skills at the next level. I work to match my instructional style so that it corresponds to the student's learning style and comfort level. Moreover, it is important to relate new information to something that is familiar to the student; this is also how I help students to learn.
I have taught a variety of subjects, and I have worked individuals from elementary school through college. I am currently working with Rochester Educational Opportunity Center as a part time instructor. In addition to this, I teach as a volunteer math tutor to adults who are preparing to their GED and TABE exams.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of a doctoral degree in Executive Leadership and a Master's Degree and Bachelor's degree in Education, graduating with honors, I value education tremendously. I have experience in leadership studies, childhood education, and working with students who have special needs or less prepared for college. I have worked as a teacher in three settings, preschool, science, and with teenage women on parole and probation in a residential treatment facility. Currently I work in higher education developing college students to become young leaders and have a wide array of experiences working with students.
My teaching style is to focus on each individual and his or her needs. I have a great understanding of learning styles, and pay particular attention to the special needs students may have. With this in mind, I work with each child to find a learning style that works for him o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support. I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal.
My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary ed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel it is important to understand what is different and unique about every student. Not all students will learn in the same way, nor will they find their desire to learn in the same way. I feel it is my duty as a teacher to find what these ways are for every student. Differentiation is vital to the learning process and can only be executed effectively if you know your students.
In high school I tutored junior high students who were having trouble in with school. After high school I joined the U.S Navy, where I trained junior personal for three years. I used my G.I bill Benefits to attend the University of Connecticut, where I received my Bachelors in History with a minor in Political Science. I stayed at the UConn to complete my Masters in Education where I complete 15 weeks of student teaching. Most recently I have worked as a substitute teacher at both the middle and high sc ... read more

Being a flexible and kindhearted educator I have enjoyed all the teaching opportunities presented to me; including working with diverse groups of students with multiple disabilities. These experiences have helped me to become a more compassionate individual who works hard to make sure students become successful and achieve their educational goals with effective accommodations.

I understand the importance of utilizing various learning opportunities that include multi-sensory activities to meet the needs of kinesthetic, auditory, visual and tactile learners.

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life!
I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy t ... read more

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 tha ... read more

I graduated from Finger Lakes Community College with an AA in Elementary Education. I passed the NYS Teacher's Assistant Skills Test in 2006. I worked at BOCES as a tutor. I tutored high school, middle school and elementary school students. I also worked in the BOCES classrooms as a teacher's aide. I worked at BOCES for 3 years. I also worked at Happiness House as a substitute residential aide, and my duties included helping young residents with their homework and reading with them. I must also mention that I helped my own two children with their homework, and now I help their young children with their work.
If I am tutoring a young person I contact the teacher so that I can find out what areas the student needs review in. Many times the teacher will give me the resources and materials to use. Also, I like to use the guide books for each grade that are sold in ... read more

As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including English, Philosophy, Religion, and History), I consider myself far more well-rounded than other graduates. Because of the small, family-oriented atmosphere I learned in, I appreciate and embody hard work, perseverance, and strong interpersonal relationships. As a student, I became very involved in and took leadership roles in extracurricular activities such as: Chemistry Club – president; Biology Club – vice president; Mens Club Volleyball – co-captain and secretary; and Read for the Stars – co-founder, secretary, and fundraising chair.
Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary lev ... read more

I am certified in both elementary and special education through SUNY Geneseo. I have been substitute teaching for the past three years while completing my Masters Degree through Western Governors University. I have tutored three students in reading, writing and mathematics. All three students had learning disabilities and all made excellent progress while working with me. Last summer I worked for a group daycare and initiated group tutoring sessions for all students who would be going to school in the fall. I worked with kindergarten, first and second graders and differentiated instruction for the students to help prepare them for the coming year.
I enjoy the challenge of determining how each child learns and finding ways that both interest and excite each of my students. Learning should be a positive experience for all students and not an experience that is negative or unpleasant ... read more
