I am not a teacher; I am an awakener!

Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences.
I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be j ... read more

My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : High school entrance exams such as SSAT, HPST, ISEE, COOP, math. Many licensing exams involve math. Placement exams, including Accuplacer. I tutor math - elementary past high school level, as well as for licensing, placement, graduate admission exams, and more. I would love to learn more about your need. I teach math plainly and simply. I explain things in a way that is easy to understand and remember. The key to my success as a tutor is in how quickly I can assess where you are, connect to that, and work from there. Clients make quick success with me because I teach how to work independently, saving you time and money. I realize the answer to any one problem is not important in the end. What IS important is getting you to a place where you can think through, and do the math on your own. This approach helps you make greater progress overall and saves you time and money. Results don't lie. Please take a look at the reviews left for me here -- https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/mathzap -- to see if I would be a good fit for you. You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you!

My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!
I am an established, experienced math and chemistry tutor and have taught SAT math test prep for a private company. I cover elementary school through high school level math, including homeschooling assistance, and SAT/ACT math test preparation, some college level math, as well as other standardized math tests. Including private school entrance exams. I tutor high school and introductory college chemistry, as ... read more

Entrance Exams is one of my top subjects! Entrance exams for nursing school

Previous nursing tutor at Dutchess Community College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Have compiled multiple Power Points over the years which explain concepts in simple terms and which have illustrations of concepts which will not be found in nursing textbooks. Unfortunately, nursing textbooks tend to be a faceless landscape which is presented to the student with many complex concepts. It is important that the student be able to visualize the concepts as nursing is all about understanding and not memorization. At exam time, students are normally assigned approximately 19 chapters of reading. The brain needs concrete objects to latch onto, such as pictures. Otherwise, the brain will be unable to easily retrieve one sentence from the mass of information which the student is required to know. Between illustrations and specific strategies for answering nursing questions, the aspiring nursing student sho ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a very patient approach to teaching others and always take special care to cater to different learning styles. I can adjust my tutoring style under almost any circumstances to accommodate each and every student based on their strengths and interests. I believe learning can be fun and interesting so long as the instructor is enthusiastic and holds the student's full attention for the duration of the instructional session. My overall style is based on the repetition and review of topics while implementing simplistic and relevant examples for a better understanding of concepts.
After recently enrolling in the MBA Program at SUNY New Paltz, I have begun to realize that I will never be satisfied when it comes to learning. I have always sought to broaden my horizons through continuing education. In addition to my schooling, I am employed full time as the Administrative Manager for ... read more

I do enjoy helping anyone write a well developed and educated paper on the topic at hand. My specific style of teaching, especially for the 8th grade, is to read the current book being used, and then present my lesson with lecture, interactive discussion and comprehension, based on the age and grade of the student. I like to put the lesson into terms that the age group can relate to, and then assign a memory technique that will teach the students to recall the proper answer by using the examples we have discussed in class. That is the same method that I use myself when I need to write a paper. I read it, analyze it, comprehend it, and then write a paper based on what I can relate it too. This technique is very effective when teaching religion, and I have taught my students to use the same technique when attending academic study.
Upon my decision to return to college and obtain ... read more

I recently tutor computer illiterate people in Microsoft, and how to send and receive email. I have extensive writing and oral skills to put together proper sentence structures for all ages. In the last 10 years I've tutored mostly essay/report research and composition. For children it has mostly been reading, writing, spelling, proper speech, math, and earth science.
I tutored other classmates in Calc 1 to Calc 4 using easy memory tricks to remember formulas for Integration derivitatives of equations. I like working with students and believe I can provide a service that will help them with the math they will use in the real working force.

A Little Bit About Me...

In my experience, the approach that works best with all ages is to form a cooperative bond to make the effort more a “we” project than a “you-must-do-this” one. We set goals to be achieved step-by-step, so that the student learns about the process of studying, rather than simply making the “grade.” In general, I follow the steps, including “preview- view- review,” outlined in my book, How to Do Your Best on Tests. I offer praise and positive reinforcement, rather than criticism or negativity; when errors occur, the effort is praised, and we work to learn from the mistake – and to find alternate approaches that achieve the result. This process can raise grade averages as well as enhance self-esteem and self-confidence.
In addition to teaching and providing learning opportunities for all ages, from preschool through adults (including those with special needs), in a variety of set ... read more

My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices.
As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe each child learns in their own way. Therefore, differentiated instructional strategies are important in helping each child become as successful as possible. It is important for children to feel comfortable and motivated to learn. There is no better feeling than knowing you a part of a child's success.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that students need to be engaged in the learning process. This requires a comfortable open atmosphere where a student's curiosities can be encouraged. Students must learn to develop an appetite for learning so that they can continue to do so throughout their lives. I believe that education should empower students. They should feel strengthened as a result of the skills and knowledge they develop in the classroom. Positive reinforcement is key to boosting student confidence which in turn will encourage them to pursue further challenges and greater wisdom.
I have recently completed an MAT degree at SUNY New Paltz as well as certification to teach Social Studies at the secondary level. My training involved in depth analyses of various educational philosophies and practical applications of pedagogy.
