I love tutoring and working with children to young adults. The internet provides a lot of information but the joy of going to the library to discover new worlds, knowledge or just for the fun of it is still a worthwhile venture. I have tutored students who truly abhored reading but when we read about New York City and took them to the places of interest we studied and it truly got them excited about the next book. My methods are varied but consistent. I teach outdoors weather permitting on field trips and with themes to keep the child interested and wanting to read and learn. As a mother of 16 yr old twins, I have always been a tutor in reading, english and literature.

While I was an undergraduate, volunteering was very important to me. One of the places I volunteered was an after school program for children who live in Hamilton Hill. While I volunteered there I helped many of them with there homework as well as extra reading and writing to help improve those skills. I found that my psychology major as well as my education and english minors were very useful and helpful to help tutor in all subjects. I love working with children. I was involved in girl scouts from first grade all the way to 12th grade and in those years I learned a lot of leadership skills. I am very patient and want to provide education to anyone that needs it. When I was in school I often struggled with school work, so I learned many different techniques to learn how to learn.

I feel the best way to learn is by doing repetitive and challenging exercises that will ultimately lead to the success of your child. Learning can often be a struggle for many people. I'm able to make complex material more easy to understand, something that will benefit your child in the long-run. I am a graduate of Penn State and hold have a BS degree in Biology.

I spent several years in my last job role developing and implementing a training program on budgeting, cost reporting and government compliance for low-level fiscal staff working on community service providers in New York City; often English competency of these staffers was low. I greatly enjoyed this experience that demonstrated my outstanding ability to teach and relate well with those often not of my same ethnic / cultural background. Throughout my career I have provided instructional guidance to others. My 20-year career experience includes competencies in all phases of accounting and financial analysis, auditing and risk assessment, and general / entrepreneurial business management.

I believe that the mark of a talented instructor is not just being knowledgeable, but also being able to dynamically engage her students; effectively impart her knowledge to them; and remain aware of learning differences and accommodate her teaching style accordingly. Therefore, I aim to be as collaborative, engaging, and flexible as possible. My impression of myself as this type of teacher has been corroborated by my students’ verbal and written feedback. In addition to these elements, my teaching style is influenced by my familiarity with the empirical literature in the area of learning impairment and an understanding of how a person’s relative cognitive strengths and weaknesses may affect his/her academic performance. Also, the clinical aspect of my graduate training helps me with interpersonal effectiveness across a number of settings. In short, the integration between my professiona

I am very open and affable. I have a strong sense of humor and am in no case a hard disciplinarian. What's important is that I believe in sharing knowledge with as many people as is possible. I believe that knowledge belongs to everyone who seeks it. And I believe anyone is capable of acquiring it. I have obtained my Master's Degree in Philosophy and Critical Thought from the French University "Paris VIII". My primary experience has been in politics and philosophy, and has contained, as non-academic experience, involvement in small political groups dealing with specific issues affecting society at large. Learning philosophy has meant a strong knowledge of the English as well as French languages, including a strong background in European history dealing primarily with the period slightly before the French Revolution in France up to the present day, including spots of history in Euro

I have always enjoyed working with young people. I take the time needed to assess each student's learning styles and I am well versed in what works for students of each type (visual, oral, kinesthetic and their subcategories). I am patient and use the student's strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses. I believe that a student can learn what ever is required of them if the teacher takes the time to work with the student. It is important to me that my students and I become a team in their learning and that the student is comfortable asking questions and sharing their difficulties so that I can understand the student's needs. If more educators were given the time to do the needed assessments, our students would be more successful. I have taught science in grades 7 -12 in a 5 different public schools over a course of 15 years. I taught high school level Earth science for 2 year

Throughout the years, I have had many experiences in the field of education. I began my experience in the classroom as a student teacher at Syracuse University. My first assignment was a 12th grade classroom as a freshman in college. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding experience that taught me how to discipline and gain respect from my students. In the remaining years at Syracuse University, I was placed in several other student teaching classrooms from middle school to high school. I also tutored college students in Writing, English, and Spanish for 2 years. I graduated with a sense of accomplishment for what I had achieved and provided for my students.

I enjoy teaching individuals as well as small groups, understanding each person has specific needs and study habits. My goal is to help you and your child find a study method that works and leads to an understanding of a subject. I strive to get to know you and your child and make a subject easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas and concepts to 'everyday terms'. I attempt to make a positive impact, offer encouragement and help in any way possible.
