More About This Tutor...

I currently hold my MA in history. During my studies I have earned an in depth knowledge of research methods, rhetorical writing, and have become well versed in study methods. My writing skills are near flawlessness and I stress this important skill in my every day life. In addition, I am currently learning both Spanish and French in hopes of improving my chances of entering a doctoral program. During my MA work I privately tutored students in History, English Literature, and Spanish.
My years of studying and tutoring have given me the patience and kindness to work with both my peers, mentors, and children. I have a free-flowing personality and I am not easily shaken. I look for challenges in my every day life and welcome new ideas and criticisms so that I can not only improve myself, but those around me. I do not believe that "some people can not learn," but I do believe th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While our society uses exams to help track students, I do not merely "teach to the test." I believe that students need to develop skills in critical thinking, analysis and grasping concepts fully, in order to get their own understanding,so as to be well rounded in their academic success. I am also an educator/tutor who believes in the basics: nothing is a worthy substitute for reading, writing and effective questioning that encourages children to think on their own. Learning should be positive for both student and teacher with the responsibility of the outcome resting on all who desire success for the student.
I have been an educator and administrator for over 20 years. While I am certified in English for middle school through high school, I also assist younger students as I work with several elementary schools within the Syosset School District. I am familiar with Regents and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love interacting, teaching, and talking to students. My pleasure comes from seeing the bright smile on a child's face when the confidently turn to me to let me know that they understand what I have taught them. I enjoy developing different strategies for a person to understand the material being learned based around their learning approach, whether they are visual or auditory learners. I like to find fun, simple methods to memorize material. I believe that various ways at understanding material make it quicker to master more information in the same amount of time. Extra help from me as a tutor can make a world of a difference as your child proceeds in his/her educational experience.

More About This Tutor...

With a BA in communications and a minor in sociology, I have an understanding in many subject areas such as, english, history, speech and media. As a graduate student I have extensive experience in writing papers and doing extensive research. I have worked as a newsroom researcher in the past. I am currently working on my graduate Thesis as well. I have experience in teaching students in elementary school up to the college level. At Long Island University I have worked as a graduate assistant, and a Tutor. I also have experience in working with students in after school programs.
I am a very hands on person, who believes that with patience each person can learn. Some people must understand that each person learns in a different way. I do not believe that people should compare one child to the next, because it is unfair.

I am the perfect candidate to teach and tutor children. I understand the importance of a good education and what a difference it can make in a person’s life. I believe that all children need a chance to excel in education. It is my philosophy that respect between student and teacher must be established over a course of time in order to improve on his or her educational growth. Furthermore, classroom management must be created; because a healthy learning environment is of the utmost importance. I believe that all children can learn. Some may struggle, but through the use of different teaching styles he or she will succeed. I am patient, hard working, and will never give up on a child who needs help. It gives me great joy to help students achieve.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe in a constructivist learning theory which suggests that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. It is a guided discovery where I will lead my student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge. All students can achieve their academic goals if given the appropriate support and instruction that fits their personal learning style.
It seemed I was always studying for something during the first 25 years of my life. First it was accounting in college followed by the CPA exam and then graduate school at night. I always enjoyed being a student and took advanced math classes including calculus with analytic geometry I & II. I am an avid reader and believe the book is alw ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My undergraduate degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree was a foundation for my career in writing, editing and research in the financial communications field. I have learned about the importance of clarity, detail and accuracy in writing. As an editor, I was responsible for reviewing, proofing and suggesting changes to copy on a wide range of subjects. In addition, my early years as a Juvenile Probation officer has taught me about patience and sensitivity when working with the young. I have taught Business Law at the undergraduate level for several semesters. My coaching and assisting my two children during their school years is, I believe also relevant. My guidance has led them to achieve academic success in their undergraduate education.
I believe that it is most important to create a learning environment that allows a student to feel successful every step of the way. Many ... read more

Over the years, I have volunteered in orphanages in Central America, worked as a camp counselor and a soccer coach in Canada, tutored English in illiteracy centers in Dominica and tutored various subjects in school settings in Canada and USA. From all of my experiences, I discovered the diversity and unique qualities that each child possesses. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child so he/she can reach their personal academic goals and learn topics that they may have once seen to be impossible. I believe my simple yet thorough teaching style, enthusiasm and patience when working with students and vast experience in tutoring will help your child feel more confident and as a result, succeed academically.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with a degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies. I really wanted to give others the opportunity to improve their learning. I have tutored students in ESL and ELL programs, and have helped them with math, english, science, and social studies.
I believe that you have to cater your teaching to your student's needs. Because every student is different, it is imperative to try to maintain their attention while teaching and also make it interesting. I believe that great teachers can be entertaining and informative.
