Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brant Lake, NY

Working in the education field is a dream come true for me. I love every minute of it. I have a love of learning and I enjoy sharing that with others and helping my students turn into life-long learners. I understand that all students do not learn the same way and that one teaching approach is not going to work with everyone. I have had a lot of practice determining what techniques students need and finding the way to reach those students so that they can be as successful as possible. I am a very fun and energetic teacher. I am very creative and like to come up with hands-on activities to teach my students. I enjoy showing students that learning is fun. I find what motivates my students and incorporate that into my teaching. I have a BS in Elementary Education with a GPA of 3.86 and a MS in Special Education with a GPA of 3.93. I value education and I have had a lot of experienc

I love working with people, and have a lot of patience. I work hard to let the student work through problems themselves before assisting them. A lot of students I have spent time with just need a small amount of encouragement and are very capable of completing their work. I enjoy working with different types of people, and adapt my style to fit their needs. I started tutoring in 9th grade, and continued until my freshman year of college. I tutored middle school and high school students in math, sciences, and social studies. In college I tutored in Level 1 and 2 French, Psychology, and College Level Algebra. I have tutored both male and female students, and have worked with people with reading and learning disabilities.

How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blower, Jewelry Designer and writer, the job titles have changed over the years; the only consistent has been that teaching has always been a part of my working life. I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or h

I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing environment for all of my students in which they can grow and learn. Each of my students will be a better person for knowing me and I will be a better person for knowing each of my students. After being a paralegal for nearly 18 years, I obtained a Master’s of Science in Education. I am currently pursuing an additional certification in Special Education. I pride myself on excellent teacher/student rapport. I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance. I

My area of expertise and greatest joy have always been reading and writing, from childhood on. My dual degree is in magazine journalism and linguistics. These skills have enabled me to work in the New York City publishing industry in a variety of editorial positions. Here in the capital district, my favorite job has been project manager at a language services provider, where I could use my French and even my Norwegian while placing and producing translations. My favorite volunteer job has been working in the classroom at my children’s elementary school, mentoring children as they worked on reading, math and special projects. I am a people person, first and foremost. I enjoy getting to know families and children, and working together to create a learning environment that helps each student learn at his or her own pace. I like to look at challenges from many different angles, and I seek so

In having a great passion for working with/teaching children, I think that it is immensely important to remember that everyone has a different way of learning. Some ways work better for some as opposed to others. My teaching style is always based around the children that I am teaching. Overall, I have found that there are a lot of students out there that are best able to learn by hands activities and visual cues. While I do find this to be the best method, I am not opposed to trying out new things to help the children learn to the best of their abilities, as I am a very patient and understanding teacher. In having a bachelors degree in Psychology, I have been fortunate enough to have worked at various places, all in which have dealt with constant interaction with people. I have had a great deal of experience substitute teaching children, to waiting on the elderly at a Sunday brunch. My p
