As an educational professional, I have been working in the field of education for over 5 years. I have earned a bachelor of arts in English and a master of education; both degrees help me gain an understanding of how to read for comprehensive and how to express one’s thoughts in both oral and written forms. While working on my degrees, I have had the opportunity to work with students as young as three years-old to fifty years-old. With each student I have worked with, I have learned the best practices needed to help each student reach their educational goals. I have a passion for education and helping students gain the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in their educational pursuits. I am caring and understanding of each student’s needs and I am willing to take the time needed to help the student through any problem. I believe that each student can do well when they are gi

For the past six years I have taught or tutored even while working on my own higher education. I have taught or tutored every age level between five and sixty-five and every skill level (including special needs), and though I am most comfortable with middle schoolers or college students, I like working with others as well. The subjects I am experienced in tutoring are: studio art (specifically drawing and painting); history; earth sciences; reading; writing (creative and compositional); English literature; art history; and conversational English. I believe that there is no such thing as one size fits all teaching. Every student learns in a different way, at a different pace, and much of the fun for me in the process of teaching is improvisation: discovering which methods work best for each student. I believe foremost in teaching students to take responsibility for their own learnin

I teach with enthusiasm and enjoyment. A large whiteboard or table space for legal pads is a must. Students need to visualize concepts to grasp them. All errors are learning experiences, life is 'trial and error'. I have more than 30 years experience working in many aspects of the Information Technology field. My job titles run the gamut of Application Programmer, System Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineer, Department Manager, Director of IT, and IT Consultant. Industrywise, I’ve enjoyed working in Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Product Development, and Health Care. Also, I’ve had an avocation working with youth through the American Youth Soccer Organization as a coach, official, and administrator. Life moves fast, learn and enjoy as much as you can.

I went into teaching because I enjoy working with children. I do not think of teaching as a job. It is very rewarding to me that I can help children understand complicated material. I make things simple and use things that they already know to build on to get them to understand the material. I like to teach the children pneumatic devices to help them remember the material1. When I instruct the students, I make sure to teach the different learning styles among the children and abilities. Howard Gardener (1983) came up with a theory that there are 8 different learning styles and Carol Ann Tomlinson (2000) came up with a theory called Differentiated Instruction. This is using multiple ways of instruction to ensure that all students are able to learn by the way you teach them. I use many different kinds of assessment as well. I always try to make my lessons as fun as I can to make the studen

As a student in college I began working in Early Childhood Education and continued until recieving my Certification in Elementary Education. I have an AAS in Human Services, a BA in English and Psychology and hold a MA Certificate in Elementary Education. I taught First, Third and Fifth grade for a total of five years before starting a family. My children are now both in school and I have been both a volunteer and substitute at their Elementary School. I recently organized and ran the Elementary Science Fair for over 100 students. I love teaching and spending time with children to ensure their success academically. I am extremely patient and determined to help all children learn at their own pace and in their own way. All children have unique abilities and qualties when it comes to learning. I believe the key is to find each child's individual talent and personal drive to ensure academic

My method of educating and teaching style derives from a simple philosophy that experience has the most profound effect on learning. Therefore I always begin my approach by identifying ways in with I can match demonstration to the particular personality of the individual I am teaching. I infuse experiential examples into the textbook explanations to create a more tangible presentation of the information. My objective is to get the student to connect with familiar ideas, emotions, and experiences. I have the ability to simplify and customize the information compatible with the learning styles of the individual. I have devoted much of my time focusing on work with the youth to assist themselves for there own future success. To this extent I have been working in the field of human services in order to profoundly impact the lives of youths through mentoring, tutoring and community superv

I really enjoy tutoring. I have been told in the past by students I have tutored that I am able to bring the information to their level, helping them to more easily understand the subject at hand. I believe that anyone can learn and master any topic that they are faced with. With the right techniques and learning styles, I believe that any effective tutor can aid their student tremendously. As an Honors Student at Utica College, and as a past tutor, I feel very comfortable in the teaching setting. My long term goal is to enter the doctorate program at Syracuse University so that I may teach at the college level in the future. My BS in accounting with CPA concentration has given me the knowledge and skills that would allow me to be an excellent tutor in the specific area. In the last five years, I have tutored math, accounting, macro and micro economics. As a recent college graduate, I un

During my 23 years of teaching I implemented Kindergarten through 6th grade New York State curriculum in a classroom setting. I attended workshops that focused on computer education, Multiage classroom and positive discipline. I believe children learn best when they can form a connection to their school work. Writing skills can be improved by using topics that are relevant to the student's life. When working on Reading skills I often use high interest topics such as the arts, sports, computers and science to encourage students to excel. Math can also become more meaningful by using real life situations and manipulatives. It is my goal to increase students' self esteem by providing situations in which they can succeed.

Both of my parents were teachers and I find myself sharing my knowledge with anyone who seems to need it. I have instructed the ladies in my craft group, answered questions posted online, and tried to instill some basic computer upkeep knowledge in the people who've asked me for help with their personal computers. I loved explaining the world to my children and I miss the joy and wonder of a child who has just understood something for the first time. Although my BS degree is in Computer Science, I have taken (and passed!) courses in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering - which means I have learned a lot of advanced math. My work as a software developer required writing "white papers" to explain and describe our software as well as test documents that would allow a person unfamiliar with our software to sit down and formally test it.

I have earned my Bachelor Degree in Psychology/Elementary Education and I am currently certified to teach Birth-6th grade. Over the past five years, I have taught Kindergarten, First, Third, Fifth and Sixth grades. Each of these experiences has helped me to grow professionally and personally. Each experience has been wonderful!! Teaching is a passion of mine. I love teaching and working with children. I strongly believe all children can learn, but in different ways. It is very important to find what works for each child. My goal is to give 100% to each student and expect 100% in return. All students are able to shine when they are given learning experiences that are appropriate. I excel in making a difference in all of my students'.

Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more of a tutor than a teacher if you work with these booklets. I have experience in the four major areas of learning which are English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I was with students from first through twelfth grade. While I was college I had occasion to take two years of college level English and also statistics up through 600 level. The English helped when I was writing my Master’s Thesis, it was 120 pages long. My committee found it to be well written. The statistics was the basis for the thesis. I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students
