Thanks for reading my profile. I have tutored French and Spanish at my community college. I have conducted "baby groups" for children 6 mo. - 1 yr in a multi-lingual center for children where I worked in Moscow for three years. I have taught groups of adults English as a Second Language at Inlingua language school in DC. I have taught middle school Russian and Critical Thinking, and college first year Russian while in graduate school. I have worked with children ages 4-10 one-on-one in their homes on a freelance basis, during which time I managed multiple clients and did this full time for an incredibly satisfying profession. Overall I have a rich experience of in a variety of settings. I have a goofy, hands-on style. I try to make it fun. I am very strict, however, when it comes to grammar, respect, and completing proposed tasks. Obviously I have different styles for adults and children

Karen F - Wellsville, NY 14895 (19.6 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I believe that teaching needs to be tailored to the student. We all possess the ability to learn; sometimes we just need guidance in "how" to learn. I am dedicated to finding that "how" with the student, and translating that into an atmosphere where the student will succeed. I am creative, energetic, and love to make learning fun. I will use every resource possible, in order to make the most of each student's learning. I am an alumni of Alfred University, with my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, concentration in clinical/counseling. For the past two years, I have been a graduate student in the Criminology Department of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have extensive field experience with mental health consumers, minority and criminal populations. I am dedicated to stength-based plans for overcoming barriers to success. My experience also shows a proven commitment to help

Melinda P - Corning, NY 14830 (25.2 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $52.50/hr.
All children are diverse learners. All children learn differently, and no two are alike. Good instruction includes fitting the lesson according to the learner. Tutoring a child who is a book learner is different than a child who needs visuals or manipulatives. Some children need academics tied into real life experiences. My teaching style includes designing instruction according to individual student needs in order to enhance their learning. I am a patient teacher and believe that all children are capable of great success if given the right tools and formatted instruction. As a certified teacher I taught for 3 years in inner city Phoenix. I worked with diverse cultures needing strong literary support. A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts for 8-12

Sallee D - Corning, NY 14830 (25.2 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $45.00/hr.
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

I believe that students learn best when they are able to use a variety of I believe it is necessary to access prior learning in order to know where to begin the learning process. Then I believe it is necessary for students to participate in both guided practice as well as independent practice in order to assess whether or not they have a working knowledge of the material that is being taught. I also believe in using both formative assessment and summative assessment. As a teacher, I must assess whether or not the student comprehends what is being taught, and the best way to make that assessment is by a one-question formative assessment at the end of each assignment. A requirement for completion of my Education degree was to student teach for one semester. I completed my student teaching at both a high school and a middle school. During that time, I also provided some one-on-one help

Roberta H - Houghton, NY 14744 (29.7 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $41.00/hr.
For as long as I can remember, I have been a natural teacher. My children say that I can never take them on an outing without making a "school" trip out of it. I love learning, and desire to share that excitement with others, to see them become life-long learners. I believe that all children can learn, although in different ways. Individualized learning and small group learning is what I enjoy most. I'm patient and work well with children. I'm good at seeing where a student's need is, and then adapting the teaching level and style to match so that he/she can achieve, and be encouraged to move forward. I desire to see students reach their potential, and I believe that that potential is often greater than is evident at first glance. My years of teaching have been greatly varied—traditional/ non-traditional, in the States /overseas, regular/special needs students, children/adults, and wit

William B - Hume, NY 14745 (29.9 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have always loved teaching. My first job was working at a summer recreation program teaching tennis and swimming lessons. I worked at a 21st Century Learning Center through college helping needy middle schoolers achieve success. I have taught 2 years of kindergarten and 3 years of 4th grade in a rural school in NY. I have been extensively trained in phonics instruction through the Reading First program at my school. I continue learning about reading and writing instruction through professional literature and workshops. I currently teach 4th grade Science and Language Arts. I believe the key to teaching at the elementary level is developing a love of learning in the student. A student will simply go through the motions if they are not invested in the subject. I do this in the classroom by sharing my own love of science, books and reading. Focusing on student choice of books and

Bonnie A - Conesus, NY 14435 (31.1 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $44.50/hr.
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 for some students. All students learn differently and I believe in enhancing the learning experience by addressing each student's individual learning style and building upon each student's unique style to create and experience that is rewarding and that brings out each student's greatest potential. I do my personal best to bring out the best in each of my students and to promote a positive and rewarding learning experience. 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 stude

I have been teaching and tutoring for the past 10 years. I have a large variety of teaching supplies and resources to use to enhance the learning experience. I enjoy using hands on materials and other recourses to meet the needs of all kinds of learners. I have a “what ever it takes” attitude when it comes to teaching.

Jennifer F - Keuka Park, NY 14478 (32.5 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $43.00/hr.
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 or her. Doing so, results in a learning environment where every child can succeed. I love to teach children, and do so by providing a fostering and supportive environment with appropriate reinforcements. 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 an
