Painting is one of my top subjects! MFA in painting and drawing

I currently teach children and adults a variety of classes including painting, drawing, mosaic making, printmaking, fiber arts and collage. I believe that everyone is an artist and that everyone needs creativity of some sort in their life to create balance. By making art, I believe that other areas of academics improve by exercising the right brain as well as the left brain. All too often creative fields are tossed to the side , and schools focus on state testing...I firmly believe that art and creative fields in general are " sit-ups" for the brain and create a better balanced healthy human being...of any age or ability. I prefer to teach cross curriculum including art appreciation, historical information of certain topics, using math as a tool for art and teaching children new vocabulary words by direct experience...my passion for art and teaching spills into the final products of all ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As A recent graduate from a Liberal Arts School, I found it easy to connect with teaching as my calling. I have always driven for high levels of excellence in and outside the classroom and work force. Having an English and Philosphy background, I find it easy to critically think and annotate extensively works of literature. And from that I find that my skills are up to par due to writing research papers and annotating other people's work. My experiance as a student teacher at a private school in rural VT, allowed me to expand the pupils' minds to outside their comfort zone in order to learn about the world we live and the connection it has to literature.
Teaching is not for everyone, but I knew it was for me when I started student teaching and felt the adrenaline rush of 25 eyes staring up at me for guidance. I feel the need to spread as much knowledge as possible to the up and com ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing environment for all of my students in which they can grow and learn. Each of my students will be a better person for knowing me and I will be a better person for knowing each of my students. After being a paralegal for nearly 18 years, I obtained a Master’s of Science in Education. I am currently pursuing an additional certification in Special Education. I pride myself on excellent teacher/student rapport.
I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators.

A Little Bit About Me...

While earning my degree in earth and atmospheric science I was a tutor to underclassmen at my university in the subjects of earth science and geography. I have a firm understanding of earth science, meteorology, geography, physics and geology. As a senior, I completed extensive research in 3 upper level classes, completing a 6 credit independent study class with an A as well as two other independent study classes with A's. I enjoy teaching and instructing young children how to ride horses in my free time.
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 attem ... read more

Teaching is my passion. I earned BA in Spanish Adolescence Education in May of 2011 from The College of Saint Rose and graduated cum laude. I studied at La Universidad Nacional de Córdoba during the summer of 2010 in Córdoba, Argentina. Most recently I have had experience teaching Spanish in high schools around the Albany region. The first school I was a student teacher in was Our Saviors Lutheran School. The second school I student taught Spanish in was South Colonie High School. Other experience I have had with the Spanish language was at Market Strategies International during the summers of 2008 and 2011. There I am a telecommunications researcher. I conduct customer satisfaction interviews in both Spanish and English.
I take a more hands on approach to teaching as I know that everyone learns in different ways. I believe in language acquisition as compared to simple memorizati ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught many different students from all types of backgrounds, from gifted to learning disabled. The reason I have success with these students is because I make learning fun and relevant. I develop creative tools that are of interest to that particular student, while cultivating a great deal of empathy. This is based on getting to know the family the child is a member of. By understanding the lifestyle,demographics and cultural nuances, I can determine any problems that may deter from learning, and any strengths which can be built upon. My goal is to create an individual program that allows the learner to achieve their own personal best without the pressure of group age standards.
My education at NYU and my Bachelor of Science degree, gave me a solid foundation because I had the knowledge and confidence upon which to build my teaching career. The classes and student teaching ... read more

I started out working as a Head Start teacher's assistant and the following year I was promoted to Head Start teacher and manager. I have also worked as a 1:1 instructional assistant with a high needs student. Currently I worked in a behavior school as an instructional assistant, and I have stepped in to plan curriculum and teach all the classes because the teacher has been on paid leave this year. I also have been commuting to college in Castleton State College from Springfield after work to complete my degree in education. I have been able to keep my GPA at a 3.8 which I believe demonstrates my ability to multitask effectively.
I find working with children rewarding. I am patent and understanding and cater to individual learning styles. I use my artistic sense to help students visually understand learning. I believe the key to understanding and learning is to make learning fun an ... read more

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 opportunity to work as a Tutor would allow me to apply and develop my skills as well as gain further experience with those with special needs. With my knowledge of autism, psychology and my ability to work well with others, as well as my experience with children with autism and special needs I would be a great asset to your staff.
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 e ... read more

I am a very hands on, activity based teacher. I follow the rule of Explain, Example, Exercise. I make sure to have many different types of learning so that each student can be successful. I want my students to be excited about my class, so I am always changing and molding my activities to stay current. I have a classroom that is full of colors, and ideas. I try to get my students to have a higher level of thinking, and help them along with inquisitive questions, and opened ended statements.
I have a BFA in Graphic Design and a MS in applied technology education. I am also currently pursuing my administration certification. I have been an adjunct professor at a local 2 year college, and I have been teaching 7-12 grade since 2006.
