Sign Language Tutoring
Are you studying sign language as preparation for a profession, to pass a test, to communicate with loved ones or simply for general knowledge? Select a tutor to customize your learning. Sign language is not universal. Even though the British and the Americans both speak English, British Sign Language and American Sign Language are quite different and mutually unintelligible. Select a tutor to fit your needs. Communication (written, oral and sign) is paramount in society today. If you need help, select a tutor who meets your needs on your schedule at a cost that is within your budget.

Deborah T - Troy, NY 12180 (9.4 mi) - Sign Language Tutor - $45.00/hr.
Sine high school, I have worked with children in BOCES. However, I started college later in life, after children and marriage. I wanted to provide my children with an education that I couldn't afford since I knew nothing of grants in 1974. I started with my AA and did not stop until I achieved my MS. My education has taught me discipline, research, study habits, and critical thinking skills. I have tutored students K-12; in Language Arts, Reading, Literature, English, Parenting, Nutrition, Careers, and electives for 11 years. Each individual student has taught me something new. My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning is an

Joshua D - Rensselaer, NY 12144 (11.6 mi) - Sign Language Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I never set out to work with children but after I was hired to be a teacher assistant for young children with autism I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am a very patient person and I strive to bring a light hearted, fun approach to working with students. I believe that learning should be educational but at the same time fun and engaging. The biggest rewards for me personally have been the smallest breakthroughs when working with children especially those with special needs. I have spent the last two years working with elementary age children with autism. I have also spent a couple months during the spring working with culturally diverse children, some with special needs, in an after school program in Sydney Australia. I have experience working 1:1 with children with autism in a self-contained classroom. I have be trained and have a great deal of experience with TCI . This op

Tara G - Albany, NY 12209 (15.7 mi) - Sign Language Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I realize the importance a child’s academic instruction plays in their future. I am well prepared, seeing as I have a B.A in English, to provide my students with a concrete and enticing curriculum. I have witnessed and engaged in remarkable teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of educational settings, in which I learned various ways to create an energizing and productive learning environment that will promote a genuine interest in English and all of its wondrous offerings. All of my principals, department heads, and other members of the faculty have recognized that I have created constructive changes in students’ academic and overall attitudes and performance. I believe that my intense energy, exceptional education, experience and ability to motivate every child in my class combine to make me a teacher who is ready and dedicated to help her stu

Matthew B - Scotia, NY 12302 (21.5 mi) - Sign Language Tutor - $51.00/hr.
I hold an English degree from a program that largely overlapped with Education - basically, I have studied teaching as a student at college. On the other end of the spectrum, I have been a substitute educator for Capital Region BOCES for 3 years, working with teaching professionals on short-term assignments. Through this experience I believe I have gathered a good deal of craft in the area of special-needs learning. I think it is more important to understand the student than to understand the material. Don't get me wrong - as a teacher I always re-educate myself to the material if need be - but I feel my real strength as an educator lies in finding a new way to teach the same concept. If a student is failing to learn, it is less often the material itself and more often the way it is being presented. Finding a new way is something I have practiced in school and at BOCES, and is my greates

Joyce M - South Cairo, NY 12482 (37.4 mi) - Sign Language Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I take more of an inquiring approach and I become more of the facilitator and guide and direct my students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. My Overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I work with my students on projects in a consultative fashion and I try to provide as much support and encouragement as possible.
I feel the advantage to this teaching style is the personal flexibility, the focus on student's needs and goals, and the willingness to explore options and alternative courses of action. Earned a bachelor's degree/Master's degree in elementary education. Substituting in the elementary school in the community I grew up in.
