Certified Teacher for Summer Tutoring

I am applying to be a tutor for your child because of my profession. As a teacher, I value the development of the whole student in order for them to excel academically as well as socially. My teaching style exemplifies this by reinforcing a constructivist teaching philosophy in the classroom. I believe that lessons should be designed to enhance students’ experiences so they are able to anchor their knowledge in experience. I may contribute to the school by having the experience of creating lessons where students learn through discovery. I have student taught in a special education classroom where I was asked to create and modify lessons using Common Core standards in order to fit the needs of all learners. My experience in being able to modify, adapt and differentiate lessons would make me an important part of the professional learning community. I have had many wonderful experien ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal.
Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe tha ... read more

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 and probation in a residential treatment facility. Currently I work in higher education developing college students to become young leaders and have a wide array of experiences working with students.
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 o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary education, English, and special education. While I spent the majority of my teaching career bolstering language skills, specifically reading comprehension and writing, I also taught algebra and biology to high school students as a resource room teacher. Equipped with improved study skills, students have strategies that make them more successful in understanding more sophisticated content.
All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs.

In my 28 years experience in the field of education I have taught all grades from pre-kinder through university in bilingual private schools in Mexico City, Mexico. I have experience with the subjects of Reading, Language Arts, English, Literature, Science, Social Studies, History, Music & Art Appreciation.

I have also tutored special needs students with learning disabiities such as ADD, ADAH, Dyslexia, Turret's Disease, and students who are generally low achievers.
I have a passion for teaching and the everyday rewards. Because I have worked in bilingual, private schools in a foreign country I have successfully learned to handle diversity.

I also have 5 years of teaching experience, 1 of which was in Elementary Special Education in Heathsville, Virginia. The other 4 years of experience have been in the Marcus Whitman District.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 mo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary level, inner city students which involved traditional, sit-down tutoring as well as active learning in order to serve the greatest amount of students possible. As a resident assistant for freshmen males, I have learned how to handle crisis situations and tailor my teaching style to all types of personalities. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the finished product and the gratification students feel when their hard work has allowed them to succeed, because that is when I know I have done everything I needed to do and set out to do.
As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including En ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education should present as much material to the student as possible, which includes using various textbooks, lecture, and inquiry. After that, it will be up to the student to assess and construct the information given in order to form his/her own opinion about the subject matter. True education and learning is ownership of the subject matter which comes through effort and discipline and a little bit of guidance.
Since April 2007, I have been a substitute teacher at both the Watkins Glen High School and Middle School. Frequent subjects include English, Psychology, and Physical Education. I belong to a writers group which meets at the local library every first and third monday. I belong to a chess club that meets at a coffee shop every Thursday. I also assistant coach varsity and college soccer during the spring and fall seasons.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is one on one with students making continuous progress at their own paces. I love to work with elementary students aged ten and under. Working with non-tradionat students was fun and challenging. I had to relate to them differently (of course) from the younger kids.
I taught Office Technology to adults for ten years. I have been subbing K-6 for the past two years in local school districts. Adult educations consisted of computer applications, business math and English, filing, and job search skills. Now I work with kids who have difficulty in a traditional setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high degree Masters program but feel I need to have a job to justify the repayment(s) of additional student loans that would be needed to finish my MA. I have recently been a four county advocate for people with special needs as the Disabilities Program Navigator. I would still hold this position if funding had not run out. I have the abilities to work with any level of education.
I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them ... read more
