Derek P - Rome, NY 13440 (28.2 mi) - Government Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I believe it is very important to be constructive and patient when it comes to teaching. I believe that I am thoughtful, patient, considerate, and compassionate when it comes to teaching. I feel that it is extremely important not to give the student all the answers, but to assist them so they are able to use reasoning to figure out the solutions themselves. I feel that it is very possible that one person can be able to help make an important impact in a students' education. As a graduate of the University of Rochester, I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Aside from this, I also have a minor in Economics, as well as a concentration in English. Throughout this coursework I have written numerous research papers and essays, and as a result I believe I have very strong written, grammatical, and reading comprehension skills. I have a thorough knowledge of English and lite

Lenny G - Rome, NY 13442 (30 mi) - Government Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I am a big believer in stationed teaching concepts. A student must first, learn through audio and visual styles of learning through teacher-student interactions. I work on vocabulary strategies and skills next. The proper vocabulary background for any subject area should be clear and concise to the student. We next work on concept mapping, and linking common themes. There is a process to every step of learning. I will review often to look for missing concepts. Finally, independent learning is another station that is vital important. Assessing how a student can complete tasks on their own gives me an idea how well the instruction is going. I will learn and adapt from my own mistakes in instruction when needed. As a former Principal, Teacher, and Social Worker, I bring 23 years of experience when working with students. My success includes working with children with multiple levels of abili

Matthew G - Rome, NY 13440 (31.8 mi) - Government Tutor - $45.50/hr.
As a teacher I realize that every student has a different style of learning, and I work to quickly understand the best ways to teach students in a one on one setting, generally using some form of self-discovery, depending on the subject. When teaching music I seek to help the student to learn good practice behavior and an understanding of where they fit in the the big picture of a music group. I firmly believe that children have greater potential than often recognized, and know that finding their passions and providing practical application provides for the best learning environment. As a volunteer with the Salvation Army I have spent many years volunteering with children, teaching Sunday School and Band. When I graduated from Norwich University, the oldest private military school in the nation with a BA in History, and spent two summers working at summer camps as a Swim instructor and l

David S - Utica, NY 13505 (38.5 mi) - Government Tutor - $42.50/hr.
In college, I in part supported myself by tutoring in math and organic chemistry. I have earned a BS in Biology and a Doctorate in Medicine (but I am retired from clinical practice). My education has given me expertise in the areas of biology, chemistry, math and anatomy. I have supplemented this knowlege with self study in grammar and creative writing. I have won writing contest and have published many letters to the editor. During the last 6 years I have tutored students seeking to obtain their GED, in all subject areas. Learning and teaching is my passion. In high school it ws teachers with the same passion that made learning fun and encouraged me to achieve academic success. Most any subject can be made interesting if approached the right way. Mostly it is about patience and good respectful communication. I especially cherish working with young children who are usually starving for r

Andrew A - Utica, NY 13502 (38.6 mi) - Government Tutor - $51.00/hr.
My method of educating and teaching style derives from a simple philosophy that experience has the most profound effect on learning. Therefore I always begin my approach by identifying ways in with I can match demonstration to the particular personality of the individual I am teaching. I infuse experiential examples into the textbook explanations to create a more tangible presentation of the information.
My objective is to get the student to connect with familiar ideas, emotions, and experiences. I have the ability to simplify and customize the information compatible with the learning styles of the individual. I have devoted much of my time focusing on work with the youth to assist themselves for there own future success. To this extent I have been working in the field of human services in order to profoundly impact the lives of youths through mentoring, tutoring and community superv

Gary K - New Hartford, NY 13413 (39.1 mi) - Government Tutor - $59.00/hr.
I have more than 30 years experience working in many aspects of the Information Technology field. My job titles run the gamut of Application Programmer, System Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineer, Department Manager, Director of IT, and IT Consultant. Industrywise, I’ve enjoyed working in Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Product Development, and Health Care. Also, I’ve had an avocation working with youth through the American Youth Soccer Organization as a coach, official, and administrator. Life moves fast, learn and enjoy as much as you can. I teach with enthusiasm and enjoyment. A large whiteboard or table space for legal pads is a must. Students need to visualize concepts to grasp them. All errors are learning experiences, life is 'trial and error'.

Brenda W - Cleveland, NY 13042 (41.2 mi) - Government Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I attended Houghton College for 2 1/2 years. Then I went to NCCC and earned an AS, then transferred to Charter Oak State College. They took all the credits I had earned as a student at both schools, allowed me to define my degree, told me which additional credits I needed and granted my degree. I have homeschooled my children for 15 years. My oldest is 19 and going to RIT in the fall. He has an AS which he got the week he turned 18. I also have two teens whom I currently school. I have taught them math courses including Algebra and Geometry, American History, writing, reading, etc. I also taught a class in Spanish 1 for other homeschooled students. I am a patient person who is used to tutoring students as that is what homeschooling is. I believe in learning by doing, experiential education. Many students think that they can't do something that is hard, but when it is broken down into

James E P - Oneida, NY 13421 (41.6 mi) - Government Tutor - $49.50/hr.
Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more of a tutor than a teacher if you work with these booklets. I have experience in the four major areas of learning which are English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I was with students from first through twelfth grade.
While I was college I had occasion to take two years of college level English and also statistics up through 600 level. The English helped when I was writing my Master’s Thesis, it was 120 pages long. My committee found it to be well written. The statistics was the basis for the thesis. I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students

WL S - Canastota, NY 13032 (45 mi) - Government Tutor - $52.00/hr.
I tend to prefer lectures combined with textbook assignments as opposed to teaching either using films, powerpoint presentations or computers. I work best with motivated students, even those with lower abilities, though I teach exclusively at the high school level and above. I am patient and one of my greatest assets is in analology; I have a profound ability to take complex ideas and make them simple. I began teaching in fifth grade when my science teacher conceded that I knew more about sharks than he did, so when we got to that lesson, I took over for two days. In tenth grade, I had an internship at my high school teaching ninth grade Global Studies. When I graduated college, I began substitute teaching while I wrote my first few novels. I have substituted in every major subject at the high school level. I have also been an adjunct professor teaching study skills and business en

Jennifer B - Canastota, NY 13032 (45.3 mi) - Government Tutor - $51.50/hr.
I believe in mentoring. It does take a few times for the student (young and old) to understand that I cannot teach them anything. I can present information to them and attempt to inspire them to learn, but they are the ones who ultimately teach themselves. I very much enjoy helping them figure out the answers to their own problems. My motto: It is my job to help you not need me anymore! I am a professional singer, actress and dancer who has taught throughout my 15 year career. I truly love teaching, especially in a one-on-one or very small group setting. Currently I teach private lessons in: piano, voice and acting. I also teach small-group: Piano, Acting, Choir, Learn to Read Music, Creative Movement, Pilates, Boot Camp, Kick Boxing. I also work with the local home school community as a 'tutor' for math and English.

Amanda F - Canastota, NY 13032 (45.3 mi) - Government Tutor - $47.50/hr.
When helping others, I do it two ways. I tell them how to do it and guide them through it. Other times, I show them how to do it. However, I do not do it for them. I would love to have the chance to help children succeed in their education! It would be an honor! I graduated high school in 2000 with a local diploma and then went on to college at Utica School of Commerce. I graduated in 2002 with an Associated Degree as an Administrative Specialist. I have worked at a few different jobs and just went back to college again at Utica School of Commerce and got my certificate degree as a Medical Office Assistant.

Maegan W - Chittenango, NY 13037 (47.3 mi) - Government Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I believe that every single child can be taught. The method that I have used in the past is to relate coursework and material to the child's own life and things he or she can understand already. This is different than making the child relate to the material instead. I am very understanding, patient, and easy going. I believe that a child can not only reach their potential, but also surpass it with the right environment and specific learning style acknowledged. I aim to help my students not only achieve academically, but also to succeed generally in their whole lives. I graduated from a private university with a BA in Sociology and a double-minor in Forensic Science and in Psychology. My experience in the social-sciences has helped me extensively strengthen my observation, writing and critical-thinking skills. I have had multiple opportunities to interact with students including tutoring
