ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in East Dorset, VT

I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything. How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blower, Jew

I find that each person has a different learing style and try to find out what works for them. I also teach them that organization of thoughts and ideas are helpful in how they approach learning. I relate the subject matter to what is needed to learn and to something that they can relate to. I believein repetition and that all people can learn if someone takes the time to find out their individual learning style. I find helping other learn and be successful very rewarding to me and would love the opportunity to do so with your students.

Having received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and the University of California in the area of physical science (Atmospheric Science), I have attained a high level of knowledge in multiple areas ranging from Math and Science (particularly Physics) as well as Chemistry and Biology. In addition, while at Cornell University I earned a Minor in Communications focusing on both Written and Oral Communication. Regarding my abilities as a tutor, at Cornell I was employed as a Teaching Assistant for two upper level courses in the area of physical science. Lastly, as a local graduate of Queensbury High, I have first hand experience with New York State Regents exams. I very much enjoy teaching both children and young adults. It gives me great satisfaction in helping others achieve a higher level of knowledge and skills. In addition, I feel that tutoring is a

Currently, I work for the Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa school districts as a home instructor for grades 6 to 12. I enjoy working with the kids one on one and feel wonderful about helping them stay up to date with their school work until they are physically able to return to the regular classroom setting. Aside from home instruction, I also work regularly as a substitute for Saratoga County schools, and have built up a great working relationship with all faculty and students in each building that I am assigned. Prior to working for Saratoga Springs, I taught 1st grade for two years at PS 325 which is located in Manhattan. I had a very successful run at PS 325, and I am proud of my accomplishments with the children especially in the area of mathematics and reading. Lacking opportunities at home, many of my children faced incredible challenges when it came to learning thus I had

I have taught inner city schools, public schools, private schools, alternative education school, summer school, adult classes and college extension courses; giving me a wide range of experiences with different students. Included are 15 years teaching Earth Science (NYS Regents) and 16 years teaching Living Environment/Biology (NYS Regents). Reviewing and preparing students for Regents Exams is a special interest area for me. During my 30 years of teaching, I have developed many activities, demonstrations, discussions, and inquiry learning techniques to help students understand the concepts of science. For the past seven years, I have been tutoring after school. My teaching is visual and hands-on, with demonstrations, diagrams and examples from every-day life. I seek to discuss information with my students rather than lecture to them. I develop individualized programs based on a student’

I have always been a very direct teacher. What I mean by that is I am very clear on what my goals are in a classroom from the very first day I begin. I let all of the students know what my expectations are, and what dissapoints me. I know that each child is different. I have always been willing to take the time to support those students who need extra attention, whether it be before or after school. Every student is capable of learning, but not every student is willing. Part of my job is to encourage them to choose the right path to their success. Throughout the years, I have had many experiences in the field of education. I began my experience in the classroom as a student teacher at Syracuse University. My first assignment was a 12th grade classroom as a freshman in college. This was a very challenging, yet rewarding experience that taught me how to discipline and gain respect from

I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives. I have tutored children at several levels, with varying degrees of leaning capacities. I teach them techniques to learn, remember, apply the knowledge and take different types of tests/quizzes. I spend considerable amount of time in learning students’ educational background and preparing myself to teach such that tutoring does not feel a burden to a kid, and kids show more interest in learning and absorbing relative subject matters. I take pride and strive to make a significant contribution to building career of their choices to all of students I teach. · Well Experienced Tutor, over 25 years, for Mathematics and Sciences · Expert tutoring for SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT · Expert in Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics - all levels starting with Basic

I am a strong believer in Multiple Intelligences. I know that first I must learn who my students are and how they learn if I am to teach them successfully. I employ the Socratic method often possible, and keep lessons as student-centered as possible. I frequently make use of the students' interests and technology to engage them. Students thrive when they see the usefulness of what they are learning, and when techniques are adapted to their needs. As a professional educator, I am dedicated to seeing all students succeed. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in History and a BA in English, as well as New York State certification and my MAT Social Studies. I have tutored throughout my academic career, and continue to teach and tutor in a wide variety of subjects.

I graduated Cum Laude from Manhattan College with a double major in Psychology and Communications. In addition to studying for two majors, I was also a Division 1 athlete and held 2 jobs. Seeing as I was very busy with extracirricular activities, I believe that my graduating with honors was truly a testament to how hard I worked. Since college, I have worked in two jobs that have really tested my gramatical, reading, editing and speaking skills. I tutored all types of students while in college and can't wait for the opportunity to tutor again. When I commit to a job, I follow through with 110% of my time and energy. I love being able to teach someone something new. I love learning, but have always been a visual learner, so whether I'm teaching someone how to read, or simply helping them improve their reading skills, I introduce visual aids.

As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degrees have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science, math, and english. In addition, I have learned extensive health and grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last three years I have tutored students in English, Mathematics, and Science. The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combin

Before earning a BA in Biology at Skidmore College and after graduating high school, I took three years off to play hockey. Concurrently, I enrolled in classes at Mount Wachusett Community College in Massachusetts and tutored in the math department. I tutored students in algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and some calculus. At Skidmore I continued in math, taking calculus I, II, and III, and linear algebra before focusing my attention on molecular biology. I habitually studied with my classmates and I found great satisfaction helping others understand complex subject matter. The challenge to explain concepts in alternative ways in order to cater to different learning styles was enriching to my own understanding. Thus, while bolstering my own knowledge of the material, I developed the skills needed to be a superior tutor. My teaching style is fueled by my personal enthusiasm for academic

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

My teaching style is engaging since I like to get the student or students involved in learning and practicing the material as much as possible. I am animated and enthusiastic when I present and I think that is important in gaining and keeping students' attention focused to get the maximum learning benefit possible. Boring instruction benefits nobody and frequently is counterproductive. I also give frequent positive and supportive feedback to motivate students and let them know they can succeed and I will help them to achieve success. Besides having a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics, I have a strong analytical/technical background that enabled me to succeed in physics, civil engineering, and electrical engineering electives that I took as part of my undergraduate studies.

As a graduate of the State University of NY at Albany, I am very interested in helping others learn. I hold 2 degrees, BA in English and MS in Education/English s a Second Language. I taught school for 4 years and after many years of working in administration, I would like to tutor students in English and mathematics. I enjoy teaching children of all ages and adults. I am patient and a good listener and can zoom in on what a child needs help in. If a child has difficulty grapsing some concept, I believe the teacher can slow down and tackle whatever problem the child is having by using an understanding and nonjudgmental approach.
