TOEFL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hopewell Junction, NY

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. 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.

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 reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices. 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, incl

I have several years of tutoring experience at various settings including urban, suburban, and rural high and middle schools. I have tutored such subjects as French, Spanish, Math, and English. I have also tutored college students in subjects including sociology, psychology, statistics, and others. I have instructed students on various study techniques, writing skills, and note-taking practices. I am currently a licensed social worker with a range of experiences building rapport with young people and collaborating with school staff and officials. I enjoy tutoring immensely and look forward to beginning again. I like the challenge of engaging and reaching different types of learners. I use my social works skills in tutoring and vice versa. I think these two fields are closely related in the sense that I seek to empower my students as I would my clients.

Learning should be meaningful, enjoyable and lasting. Establishing a solid student-to-teacher rapport is an essential ingredient in the learning process which is of utmost importance to me. I believe that effective teaching requires a holistic understanding of a student, in addition to specific knowledge of his/her academic strengths and weaknesses. With this information, I try to identify suitable learning styles and preferences in order to develop strategies to enhance student learning. I encourage students to challenge themselves by setting the academic bar high but make necessary adjustments to allow for individual differences. With patience, care and determination, I strive to bring out the best in all of my students. Languages are my passion. I learned to speak Spanish while studying in Spain prior to enrolling in college. Studying abroad was an education in and of itself, which

As a Boy Scout I worked to help my fellow Scouts advance through the ranks and learn the skills that would help them become better Scouts and better young men. As an ESL teacher in both Germany and Spain I worked with a wide variety of students; from German civil engineers to Spanish middle schoolers. I also taught subjects such as Civics and Art through the medium of English. As a volunteer at my local library I have helped immigrants from diverse backgrounds gain a better grasp of the English language. At Huntington I work with students of various ages, from six to seventeen, on improving their skills as students. The key to a good teaching style is creativity and adaptability. It is the job of the teacher to adjust his teaching style to fit the needs of the student. Some students respond well to visual cues; such as drawings in the case of teaching English as a Second Language. Oth

I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny blackboard in my living room, playing school with my sister. Since then, I have continuously sought opportunities to teach outside of my daily school and work life. As an undergraduate at Middlebury College, I volunteered to teach beginning German at a local elementary school. After college, I taught seventh-grade Faith Formation at my church and also led monthly, 3-hour Confirmation preparation classes. My college coursework helped me develop excellent reading, writing, and language skills, but I am also competent in math and could easily tutor that subject on a grade school level. I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provi

I have four and a half years of tutoring/mentoring experience, three of which were at the Warren Wilson College Writing Center. I helped ESL students with their composition and grammar skills, and worked with others to find strategies to approach their writing with less stress and more confidence. I moved to S.Korea shortly after my college graduation,and privately tutored students who were studying ESL. I designed the curriculum that supplemented their studies.My experiences working with children also include mentoring at-risk youth. Whether a student is studying for their SATs, or working on their grammar and writing skills, I have the tools and experience it takes to help them succeed. Tutoring is something I passionately enjoy, as it allows me to tailor my creativity towards each student's needs. My teaching style involves getting to know each student’s strengths and passions so that

I decided to go into teaching while I was working at Birch Childhood Center as a full time teacher assistant with children with special needs ages 0-5 years old.

To teach is to tie refinement of respect, unity of thoughts, sentimental attachment and truth by trusting each and every approach for coaching and highlighting the innovative ideas and inventions of students by your own creative and thought-provoking guidelines. I feel that students should be involved with their positive learning environment. In the classroom itself, the teacher needs to make the best utilization of the time allowed and must transmit the lesson to the students in the most palatable way. I want to teach and train the students. I would like to built in them the character which enables them to run the country progressively.
