Goldy S. - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (8.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe that competence and confidence are BOTH important in learning. Students bring their own knowledge and learning styles to the process. It is the teachers job not only to adapt instructional style to best support the learner, but also to help the student understand his or her own learning style and needs. Experienced and New York State Certified teacher. I have over 10 years experience teaching students in grades 1-12 and 5 years experience teaching adults. I also have extensive tutoring experience. I have an MA from Marist College as well as a BA from NYU. I have designed and taught SAT prep classes (verbal/writing portion) as well as developing curriculum integrating diverse domains of knowledge to create a broad, deep and flexible learning experience for students.

Laura M. - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (8.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $42.50/hr.
Many years of experience teaching, working, and tutoring children of all ages. Every child learns in a different way. I want to be able to find the best way and help children have fun while learning. It is important to establish what learning method works best for a child before teaching can take place. A child will be successful if they are having fun and learning in a style that they feel comfortable with. Hands on learning, use of technology, books, group learning, creative role play of different ways to solve problems.

Amy S. - Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 (14.4 mi) - Geography Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Very skilled in teaching a variety of learning styles across the different areas of the multiple levels of intelligences. I have taught in the education field since 1999. I am very fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a multitude of learners in a variety of environments. Early in my career I worked with adults that were mentally and physically challenged. I found this very rewarding and decided to pursue a degree in education, which lead me on my journey into the world of Special Education. I began working with children and young adolescents who had a variety of special needs and learning styles; I went on to specialized Autism and Special Education for K-12. After working with young children for many years I decided to branch out to work with young adolescents and adults pursuing their high school equivalency. Working with young adolescents and adults proved to be just as

Lauren E - New Paltz, NY 12561 (6.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $51.00/hr.
I am a very interactive, do-it-yourself kind of educator. There is nothing more liberating and inspiring than understanding and recognizing the limitlessness of one's own ability. With just the right push from me, our children can reach unbeleivably great heights! I do not have a lot of experience in the teaching field but I am a natural born teacher. I have been a mentor to many people in my life; friends, co-workers, even family members would say the same. If given the opportunity I will be able to grow with and enjoy the success of all my students. We will indulge in the passion of education!

Susan W - New Paltz, NY 12561 (6.7 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I love children for their unabashed honesty. I treat them with respect and do my utmost to listen deeply to their needs. I'm a very patient, detail-oriented person and frequently use humor to create an environment that the child finds is fun in which to learn and one where both mentor and child have mutual respect. A willingness/openness to learn the challenging subjects is key on the child's part. It is a joy to help a child learn and watch them grow more confident in the process. I have enjoyed the written word my entire life. I have written poetry, screenplays, short stories, advertising copy, grants, business plans, marketing plans, newsletters and press releases. My understanding of grammar and syntax is second nature to me. I have tutored children in English (reading and writing) for more than 15 years.

Carolyn C - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (8.2 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.00/hr.
As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press. My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of

Erica D - Poughkeepsie, NY 12603 (8.8 mi) - Geography Tutor - $45.00/hr.
My philosophy of teaching is a student-centered one. I believe students learn from each other and through experience. I see myself as a teacher that will act as a guide to students as they gain confidence in learning how to critically think working through their problems on their own. I believe that all children can achieve to their full potential as they follow the educational path of individualism as well as cooperative learning. It is my hope that I will inspire and motivate my students to enjoy learning and teach them that the learning process can be fun at the same time. I graduated from Marist College with my Bachelors in Psychology and Special Education in 2008. I have always had a strong passion for teaching students ranging with different abilities. Previous to my student teaching and observation requirements as an undergraduate student I was a mentor and tutor to middle school

Robert D - Lake Katrine, NY 12449 (11.8 mi) - Geography Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I enjoy helping students understand the principles they are dealing with, rather than focusing on helping them simply "get the answer" to the problem at hand. My goal is for them to be able to generalize the concept and apply it in different contexts. To develop interest, I seek to discuss related information or similar problems as much as possible. For Physics in particular, this approach is key to providing a sound foundation for future learning. Most of my career has been spent at IBM, where I built on my Physics background for a broad range of opportunities. I am now seeking to move into a teaching career and plan to start a Masters in Teaching in the Fall of 2009. During my educational development, I taught for three years in undergraduate and graduate school as part of the duties of a teaching Assistant. I have tutored secondary school students for the last 5 years in Math, P

Stacey S - Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 (12.5 mi) - Geography Tutor - $45.00/hr.
From my teaching experiences, I have learned that I enjoy educating, as well as learning from, students of various ages. From my courses and classroom experiences, I have learned that each student may benefit from various types of learning such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and/or a combination of learning styles. I have learned how to gain student interest and engagement through various methods of motivation, such as technology, or other student interests. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor, I believe that it is necessary to get to know each student’s academic level as well as interests in order to develop adequate lessons. As a graduate of Hofstra University, I have received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, as well as a dual degree in Childhood Education and Early Childhood Education. I have acquired both the New York State Early Childhood and Childhood Teaching Cert

Gerald D - Marlboro, NY 12542 (13.1 mi) - Geography Tutor - $43.50/hr.

Brian V - Newburgh, NY 12550 (18.3 mi) - Geography Tutor - $43.50/hr.
2008 Graduate in English from Boston College. My experiences with capable and engaged teachers help me hone my written and verbal skills, the reason I chose to major in English. Throughout high school, I was proficient in not only these skills, but also Mathematics and History, which led me to sample many related classes in college. I have past tutoring experience in Math and English, and my SAT scores were 710 in each of these disciplines. I also spent a lot of time mentoring children in a Learn to Skate program at Bear Mountain. Understanding the learning habits of an individual is the key to relating to the student and making positive changes in those habits. I'm patient and empathetic, which helps me find methods to tailoring strategies unique to the student. Attempting to conform an individual to one predescribed style is the reason they're left behind in the first place. There is n
