I am an extremely talented music teacher and accomplished pianist who is proficient in reading, composing and developing musical programs. I have been working part time at Alexander Hamilton Middle /High School for 3 years and have had the chance to learn, grow and refine my skills; the only thing better would be a full time music appointment. Trained classically, I am able to incorporate traditional choral techniques with a contemporary and “pop” approach that bring out the best in each student. I love being a music teacher. My upbeat personality and engaging style enables me to relate with all levels of children. I'm very learned in all areas of education and would be able to do a great job tutoring.

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level. In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

I was very motivated to accomplish a high level of excellence in education, and have earned a BS degree in both Meteorology and Mathematics. Although initially motivated to study meteorology, I took on the additional math major soon after because of my longtime love of numbers. Both majors complemented each other and enhanced my problem solving abilities. Further, both majors have afforded me the opportunity to apply Microsoft Excel to my laboratory projects, and senior research studies. Both research papers and laboratory write-ups helped me improve my grammar and writing skills. While attending college, I tutored other undergraduates in both Math and Statistics for two years. Teaching is a unique opportunity to shape a child’s world. I want to help children achieve their best, and have found that accomplishing this goal is best undertaken by exercising patience, care, and honesty

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort. I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.

Teaching, and specifically teaching music, has been my passion for years. While tutoring, I use a wide variety of methods, including metaphors, diagrams- whatever the student requires to learn the material. I am exceptionally patient with struggling students, because I know that losing patience solves nothing, and given the right materials and knowledge, the student will succeed. I believe very strongly in the potential of people to do exceptionally well, even when they may not realize that they are capable. Students will find me to be friendly, knowledgeable, and when the situation calls for it, very intense in my desire to educate. I wish to help people find their own musical potential. Although I have only held my BM in Music Education for a little over a year, I have always sought out opportunities to hone my skills as a teacher. While I was still earning that degree, I was the

I love to teach, and I love working with children. I bring a passion for education and a history of flexibility and patience with students. I work hard to not only teach the steps required to accomplish a task, but also to develop the student’s self-reliance and instincts for troubleshooting. My goal is to provide the best that a student can take on at their developmental level, with an emphasis on as much "hands-on" learning and reflection on their part. If our task is to give the best training to the next generation of thinkers, designers and creators, then our most crucial responsibility is to teach them to delight in discovery. Every student has this capacity. It is our job to discover where, in the balance between technique and theory, this lies for each individual student. This is what I strive for with my students. With 17 years' experience, I have taught students, designed pr

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs. I have had a successful career as a medical scientist in hospital, government, and reference laboratories in the northeast and southern U.S., holding bench,

Most children need to be used to support adaptation in a learning environment. Therefore, the study in Multiple Intelligences shows that it’s not always what one learns, but the way we learn.I am available to assist your children in finding academic success. In all the years I have tutored, all my students have raised their grade 3 or more levels. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. Through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. As educators we must learn to be faciliator, and good mentor. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. My education in the BMCC Direct Care Counseling has improved my skill as an administrator, communicator and counselor. The ministry experience has expanded my prospective of life and people. I have

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 Colle

I will fit my teaching to the client. If a student learns with visuals, I will use visuals. If a student is an aural learner, I will cater to that side. I am very flexible and take direction very well. I have taken a year or more of each language I am qualified to tutor. The languages are Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. I also lived in Italy for a couple of months, in the Northern region. So I have real world experience speaking the language. I have recently graduated from Purchase College with an Undergraduate degree in Music with a minor in English. During School I tutored students in English composition and edited students essays and papers during the entirety of my undergraduate education. I have also taught voice and music theory to students privately. In High-school I scored a 97 percent out of 100 on the English regents exam. I recently received a full schol
