Microsoft Office Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Guilderland Center, NY

I enjoy working with children and watching them learn. I am a very understanding and non-judgemental person and I understand that everyone learns in different ways, and am a big believer in Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences. I enjoy reading myself, and think I am able to instill my love of books in other people. I am currently working on my masters degree in Childhood Education 1-6 and Literacy at Sage College. In the past, I have done private tutoring in English Language Arts and Social Studies. I have also worked as an assistant teacher at a pre-school and have done some substitute teacher at the elementary level.

Ever since I volunteered at Guilderland High School where I helped children with homework, I love teaching and being around with children. Once you put the effort into their learning and be there with them one step at a time until they finally understand the concept and/or get the answer, it is an amazing feeling. I recently graduated from Syracuse University. I majored in finance and marketing management with a minor in information technology. In my finance courses, I have gained extensive knowledge in different areas of math. Apart from my academic studies, I joined clubs where I held leadership positions which allowed me build team building and leadership skills. When I was a junior in high school, I volunteered for the YMCA. I worked at Guilderland Elementary School, where I helped the kids with their homework. It was definitely a memorable experience.

I have been a Junior High Math teacher for more than 20 years.I also have taught returning Empire State College students in Basic Math and electronics. In my last position, I created "Striving for Excellance in Math". It was a combination of daily and weekly drills and activities. I currently am working for EVI. They score all of the NYS Assessment exams. I therefore know what is required to exceed the standards required by NYS. I have also taught Math9,Course 1,and Math A. I feel I am therefore well versed in all that is required for 9th grade math!! I have never had a student fail the regents. I left full time teaching 3 years ago. I was the whole math dept. I taught 6,7,8,9th grade math in a private school. I did not realize how much I would miss it. I sometimes day dream about how I would teach a certain topic a different way. I have always thought that teaching is magical. When you

I have earned my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I love computers and programming as well as web design. I was even a Teacher Assistant for a Data Structures class at my university (CSI 310) in which i helped students with homework and programming assignments. In this role i helped students learn concepts such as linked lists, tree structures, recursive thinking as well as other types of data structures. I have also done a lot of math in my pursuit of my computer science degree and will more then gladly help out with math related questions as well. I am very patient. I enjoy helping people learn that want to be there. I will draw out diagrams and show the same topic 10 different ways if needed. That being said i don't just give them the answer to the problem, but will guide the person to the solution.

Over the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of tutoring over 150 children. While receiving a Teacher Education Certificate, Human Services A.S. and a Sociology B.A., I have committed myself to scholastic excellence. In my work with The Boy's and Girl's Club, Americorps, Y.M.C.A. and the Hispanic Outreach Center I have completed more than 1000 tutoring session; in over 50 Schenectady Schools, community programs and public libraries. In each one to one experience, the child improved at least 2-grade level in reading comprehension and 1-grade level in math. I have extensive experience working with people who are learning disabled and have taking several classes in special education making me a proficient tutor to this population as well. The Teacher Education Certificate affords me with a well-rounded familiarity with curriculum for all primary grade level and techniques to best underst

I don't think there is anything better than the feeling of helping a child learn. Every student have the ability to learn, we have to adapt our teaching styles so that all students can understand. Our job as teachers is to prepare students for their future. Through education and a caring, nurturing and creative teacher, that is what I hope to give all my students, a future. The brightest one possible. I began school as a Biology major for 2 years, so I have a great science background. I love to teach children. I finished my Masters program in December 07 and began teaching at the school I did my internship at, Briarcliff MS. I taught grades 6-8 and filled in for a Special Ed teacher at the end of the year. Also during that time I tutored a group of 6 graders in Math.

As a graduate from SUNY Albany with a Masters in Literacy I take education in reading very seriously. I have been tutoring local students for the past three years. I have also substituted in the Capital Region for the past four years at various grade levels. In 2008, I taught 6th grade English Language Arts at Hoosic Valley Elementary school. I believe that literacy can be inetegrated within any subject and can be made accessible for any student regardless what there strengths or weaknesses may be. I enjoy teaching children of all ages. I believe that a good teacher is one that can reach any child regardless of how that specific student learns best. One thing that I have found that works best is finding out the many interests of a student and then using those interests to engage the child. Once a child is engaged in the material, teaching is the easy part. I believe modeling is o

My teaching style is replete with visuals and drawing an analogy from nature to help understand abstract concepts of science. I strongly believe students can grasp ideas instantly once they are able to relate textual information (i.e in books ) to a graphical content. Be it Maths or Physics or Chemistry...every complex problem can be broken down to the bare fundamentals which is what I stress upon always. I have had some wonderful teachers in my life and I desire to be one like them. I am a Research Assistant(PhD) working in the field of Semiconductor Nanotechnology. Philosophically I am trying to understand reality from an atomic perspective. I graduated from NJIT with a MS degree where I tutored Seniors in Maths, Physics and Chemistry for 2 years. Prior to my MS I worked in IT(software) industry for 2 years where I trained my co-workers programming skills. My favorite subjects are Math

I have excelled at my Spanish studies now for twelve years. I completed my Bachelors of Arts Degree at SUNY Albany. While there, I consistently excelled in my Spanish classes. I also chose to study abroad in Madrid for a year in order to improve my oral fluency and comprehension. While there, I tutored two Spanish-speaking girls in English. I developed a more comprehensive knowledge of the different vocabulary used in Spain and in Mexico. Throughout my entire education, grammar has been drilled into my head. I have an advanced level of Spanish with regards to grammatical structure, an extensive vocabulary of words and phrases, and an ability to speak nearly-fluent Spanish. The study abroad experience really rounded out my skills. Having traveled throughout Spain for a year, I am well-prepared to assist you or your child in learning Spanish. I look forward to working with you soo

I believe in challenging a student to do more than they were aware they could do - I have consistently found that individuals give themselves less credit than they deserve. I believe in making a lesson relevant to a student - keep it abstract and it will remain difficult, but bring it home and they will own it. I am excellent at distilling the basic lessons within a topic into take-home messages that give the student more than merely a list to memorize; they get actual working knowledge that will not erode so quickly from memory. I can communicate at many different levels, and am sincere about sharing my love of learning. I believe in the scientific method as a key to intellectual and technological progress, and in the inherent robustness of truth. But the foundation of my philosophy is that each individual, as well as his or her community, is improved through learning. Each individual i

I have been working with children since high school. Currently I substitute teach through the Capital Region BOCES system in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade. I enjoy working with all age groups. For two summers I have worked at a discovery camp for students in grades kindergarten through second grade as the science teacher. This allowed me the opportunity to come up with creative activities and science experiments for the students to take part in. Also in college I worked for the Equal Opportunity program tutoring college students. I believe it is important to get to know the child you are teaching. Every child learns differently. By evaluating the childs strenghts and weaknesses you can help the child to succeed. I believe it is important to make learning interactive and intersting for the student. The more interested the child is in the subject matter the easier it is for the

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.

I believe that the mark of a talented instructor is not just being knowledgeable, but also being able to dynamically engage her students; effectively impart her knowledge to them; and remain aware of learning differences and accommodate her teaching style accordingly. Therefore, I aim to be as collaborative, engaging, and flexible as possible. My impression of myself as this type of teacher has been corroborated by my students’ verbal and written feedback. In addition to these elements, my teaching style is influenced by my familiarity with the empirical literature in the area of learning impairment and an understanding of how a person’s relative cognitive strengths and weaknesses may affect his/her academic performance. Also, the clinical aspect of my graduate training helps me with interpersonal effectiveness across a number of settings. In short, the integration between my professiona

I am a graduate of elecrical engineering and computer science with ABET accreditation. From early on in my studies I've enjoyed tutoring students of Mathematics,Computers,Technology,Science and Engineering courses. I've also conducted many science lab experiments and written reports of my findings. I strive to work with each student as a team toward improved course performance to match their individual goals. I've enjoyed working with students of all ages, background and grade level in coursework such as Math,Science,Computer and Engineering courses from seventh grade through undergraduate college. By teaching concepts rather than memorization skills that usually bore the student I work with each student and their own "easiest way" of learning to increase skills and self-confidence.
