Central New York and Northern PA Professional Tutor

I am a professional writer who has published nearly 1,000 Internet articles. I hold a degree in English and my specialty is Literature. I am well versed in Shakespeare. I am best at creative writing, creating essays, studying Shakespeare, understanding spelling, and helping students understand proper sentence placement.
I believe in a student led teaching style. The student will find the answers on their own with my guidance. I will assist struggling students but I will ask them to solve the problem before I volunteer the answers.

LESSONS SHOULD ACCOMMODATE STUDENT LEARNING STYLES

My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.
I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have extensive experience working with students of all ages. Most specifically, I have worked with underprepared college level students developing skills such as time management, study skills and basic survival techniques. Most recently I took the Oxford Seminars Certification course to teach and tutor English as a second language to students of all ages. Currently, I am tutoring English and Reading at the primary school level. Furthermore, I have experience teaching in the classroom, developing lesson plans, assessing student’s development and developing lesson plans.
My teaching style is based on the individual student. Much of my enjoyment of tutoring comes from the opportunity to work with students creatively and develop them through their own unique learning styles. I enjoy working both with children and young adults, and truly find joy in witnessing progress in stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volunteer when they do not know or understand something, and to ask questions whenever they need to. In addition I understand that all students learn differently and I enjoy discovering and providing different styles for my students. One of the most rewarding things for me on a personal level is to assist youngsters or students in achieving goals they may have previously perceived as impossible. I feel this way at all levels, whether I am assisting dedicated students or students that are searching for their inspiration.
For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I would be happy to assist students with any courses necessary, as I am confident I can help them learn. I possess strong interpersonal skills which would allow the student to feel very comfortable learning with me. I would like to make the learning experience as fun as possible by using worksheets, visual aids, and any other activities that would assist in the student learning their material.
As an undergraduate, I spent nearly three years assisting groups of students with how to learn content for the historically difficult courses of College Chemistry I and II. I have my BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology, which permitted me to learn and acquire a great understanding in multiple areas. These areas include biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, algebra, statistics, and beginning and intermediate levels of Spanish . In February 2011, I will be finished my MBA in Healthcare Managem ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching, working, and playing with children. I believe that children learn most effectively from using both a hands and minds-on learning/teaching style. As all children come from differing/diverse backgrounds, I utilize communication with both the students and parents in order to effectively teach said child. I believe that all children have the potential for growth and success in the classroom and beyond, if they are given the appropriate tools and encouragement.
I have worked as a pre-school teacher for two years in Syracuse, NY, where I was motivated to enter into the field of education on a permanent basis. I went back to school to attain my masters degree in education in 2008, and finished student teaching in December of 2009. I am accustomed to teaching children from various backgrounds, and learning styles. I am eager to initiate a career in education and serve ... read more

Read More About Daphne R...

I view teaching as integral to my life, and I am passionate about giving an exceptional education to people. I currently teach academic writing at Tompkins Cortland Community College, and Purchase College. In addition, I have over 15 years experience teaching acting to children, teens and young adults.
My goal is to instill habits and skill sets in my students that change learning from a laborious, anxiety ridden process to a spontaneous and empowering one. We learn most from our mistakes, and so therefore, there is no such thing as failure. A one on one session gives a student the necessary attention, and connection, to a mentor that can make the difference. Grades are earned so the successful completion of an assignment is a real accomplishment. Learning is cumulative; self-mastery will come through time and consistent effort.

I understand that each child learns in a unique way and my goal is to discover the best method, environment and pace at which your child learns. I am here to give every student the opportunity to realize their potential and strive for success in education. I am easy going, caring, creative and motivated. I have a flexible schedule and am dedicated to giving your child the education they deserve.
I have always had a passion for education. Coming from a large family, I was always helping my younger siblings with their homework and teaching "school" in my mom's study on the weekends. I attended the rigorous International Baccalaureate program at my high school and moved away from home to attend a prestigious liberal arts college. After graduating from Smith College in May I moved to Boston to wor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I worked for the Princeton Review as well as various non-profit organizations such as Let's Get Ready! and The Door!, tutoring SAT math and verbal skills. Through these experiences, I've worked with underprivileged youth, and bilingual and ESL speakers. Most recently, I've worked as a teaching assistant for students struggling with college-level writing assignments, met with students one-on-one, and created individualized lesson plans for each student.
I am a magna cum laude graduate from an Ivy League university with several awards for scholarship, leadership, and research. Thus, I believe strongly in working hard not only for myself but for any of the children I teach. I am patient and pride myself on taking on students that require extra effort. I am kind, hardworking, and reliable - I believe that good SAT prep should be available to everyone and I try to live through that phil ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a lifelong student of the humanities and English, I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and helping others. As a result, whenever and wherever I have been, whether in academia, work environments, or with friends and family, I have sought to apply what I know by teaching. I have many years of experience teaching others, especially in the areas of English (extremely talented writer), history (specializing in world history and the history of empires), social science (with a focus on psychology and sociology) and philosophy. I find no greater thrill in life than when, as a result of my teaching and assistance, the light comes on over the student's head. Beyond pay and self-achievement, this is the true joy for any teacher.
One of the advantages of my background is the variety of people I have worked with. Regardless of different cultures, races, socioeconomic back ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Effective teaching comes by teaching the student to learn how to learn. All people are generally intelligent, but in different aspects of intelligence. All people can learn, but at varying speeds. Learning how to learn is increasing the speed of learning in those aspects of intelligence in which one is inept. Chemistry is a very abstract science, and many people find it confusing. Chemistry requires all the faculties of teaching, like 3D visual aids, memory tricks, and most importantly, analogies. I often consider chemistry a science of analogies. Concepts in chemistry are also like bricks to the over all edifice of its understanding. Often times students don't understand one concept because they don't thoroughly understand another. My teaching style varies from individual to individual because everybody learns differently. Sometimes just re-phrasing the same concept differentl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is teaching. I enjoy and love sharing my knowledge with the youth. I am willing to help and spend time with your child to obtain his goal for academic excellence and success. As a teacher, I am kind, patient, timely conscious, flexible and considerate. I strongly believe that learning can be achieved in the class by a student if the teacher's teaching strategy meets his or her interests and needs. I use psychological approach to know my student's personal and social background to teach him or her efficiently and effectively. Teacher has been responsible for the learner's educational growth.
Education and educating oneself is incessant. As an individual and as a human being, he or she must not stop learning. This concept had driven me to obtain two degrees--- Bachelor's of Arts in English and Master's of Arts in English which enabled me to obtain more understanding the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better help my peers, as well as having volunteer positions tutoring in math and english.
I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the r ... read more

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing, and grammar. I followed my passion and earned both my BA at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania where I was encouraged to continue my education to the Master’s level. At SUNY, I decided that teaching was the only career path with which I would be happy. Over the past six years (during both my BA and MA), I have been in the positions of discussion leader (leading to a better understanding of the literature students were reading), Writing Center tutor, and First-Year Composition instructor.
Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way stree ... read more

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.
