Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in East Concord, NY

During my junior year of undergraduate work, I was contacted by a professor and asked to become an English tutor intern for my fellow students and visiting exchange students from Aichi, Japan. I was told that this hands-on tutoring would also coincide with an upper level English class, a class in which permission of its instructor, the English department and recommendations from other professors were all required. I accepted the offer and began my brief journey as a tutor from January 2008-May 2008 and truly enjoyed the time I spent helping others learn the language and writing skills that go hand-in-hand with the English language. Though I recently graduated and have not formally tutored in a year, I still use the skills I have obtained - writing, communication, grammar, spelling and editing - in daily life. I feel that with my Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Communications, I

I have extensive experience working with dually diagnosed individuals. The students I taught not only had difficulty learning but also exhibited some emotional and mental difficulties. I work well with students both individually and in group lessons. My special education experience has provided me with an ability to identify where and why students are having difficulty learning. I am able to easily modify and adapt lessons to a students needs. I enjoy working with and teaching all levels of students and children. No two children learn in the same way. It is important to differentiate and identify the way that each child needs to be taught and engaged in the lesson. Lessons must be concrete and meaningful to a child. If things are taught to them in a way and on a level that they can grasp any child can be taught. It is important to me that each child be given an opportunity to learn

I love teaching and helping children learn. My philosophy is that you have to make this information that your children are learning relatable to what they are going through. If you do this children will enjoy learning. I feel that it is also to make sure that you are helping children learn in a fun, yet productive environment. I have a great deal of customer service experience working for both M&T Bank and Key Bank. I excelled in Reading and English subjects throughout school, reading multiple grade levels ahead of myself. I was a writer for Nardin Academy's newspaper and also for Canisius College's newspaper. I have teaching experience in home instruction in flute and piano.

I’ve taught English and Theater at a variety of school settings for five years, including a self-contained classroom for “at risk” youth, an inner city arts magnet school, and a private alternative school for emotionally disturbed teens. In addition, I’ve taught Theater at the university and community college level for sixteen years. I believe that teachers are essentially translators of knowledge and skills for students to access in formats, which they can make their own. I am accustomed to teaching students of wide ranging levels of skill and ability. I am a trained actor and director in theater, and so I use dynamic techniques to immerse a student in an experience through which he/she can better understand academic content and their own internal perspectives and feelings. I have studied Shakespeare extensively and believe in using challenging forms of literature to expand student

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 achiev

Teaching is my passion. I find that the single most important factor in being successful while working with children is getting to know them. When you get to know a student and what his or her interests are you get a glimpse into how they learn. Every time I teach I ensure that my lessons are student oriented. I incorporate the student's interests as much as possible. When students are engaged they tend to learn better. All students have the potential to excel. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra attention and explanation that the general classroom teacher may not have the time to give. As a graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia I am a highly qualified educator. Through the college I have several experiences working one on one with students, tutoring both math and literacy, as well as working with whole classrooms. Since receiving my Bachelor's degree in Education

I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging. I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!

My teaching style is to have a set of problems made up for the students to observe as examples to help understand certain chapters. I will assign additional problems if needed and focus on the subject matter that is the hardest for the individual to understand. I have taken statistics and gotten an A in the course and still have all course materials to give a general overview of statistics and how to use SPSS. I am knowledgeable on the software and would be able to answer questions on statistics because of how well I did and how I used to help others who struggled with the class.

I am a relaxed teacher who believes that every student learns differently and the tutor needs to deliver assistance in a way that makes sense to the student. I like to make learning fun and will often inject humor into the lesson. I am also a storyteller by personality, and will often make connections to the material for students to help the learing have more meaning. I am certified K-12 in ESL and childhood education 1-6 certification, along with training in gifted education. However, over the years I have worked with all ages including adults in paid and voluntary positions. As an ESL teacher, I have worked teaching and guiding children and their parents. I hold a Master’s degree in Education, with my thesis being a study on the effects of having fun while learning effecting reading skills. I was able to complete a study on this, which showed significant gains in the children’s r

I use all the main teaching tools. Both hands on and visually for those students who need different tools. I love to interact with children and adults helping them through their classes to better their future. I also enjoy having a hand in their future success.

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate, my ten years of professional teaching experience as a lead teacher of secondary English is interspersed with a variety of other relevant experience. In addition to teaching literature, composition and grammar, I have also tutored professionally for Kaplan as part of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind program and for other private tutoring services in Maine and New York. I have taken more than twelve professional development workshops and classes in English and education since 2001. I have also taught history, civics, poetry and creative writing, professional communication and drama. The great joy for me in teaching literature and composition is sharing strategies for powerful communication to students who are blocked. Although I am inspired and passionate about English, I enjoy demystifying it and revealing how skills in other areas not only apply

I respect all children and the variety of ways in which they learn. I firmly believe that children (by nature) are curious about learning and therefore, capable of learning when presented with an engaging program of study. My instructional approach often entails the use of games, as a medium to stimulate my students. In addition, I always strive to enhance my students’ self-esteem, because I believe in them and their abilities. My objective as a tutor is to utilize the teaching strategies that I have acquired, in conjunction with my knowledge about your child (his/her interests and learning preferences) to develop a teaching plan that will take him/her to the next level of his/her education. I was fortunate to receive a very distinguished education through a local school of the Arts program and an Ivy League institution. Both experiences produced within me a tenacious commitment to
