Goldy S. - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (17.4 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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.

Laura M. - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (17.4 mi) - Testing Skills 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.

Strategies to correctly answer any nursing question, even if the material is unfamiliar to you
Drills with multiple NCLEX questions from many different sources. Previous nursing tutor at Dutchess Community College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Have compiled multiple Power Points over the years which explain concepts in simple terms and which have illustrations of concepts which will not be found in nursing textbooks. Unfortunately, nursing textbooks tend to be a faceless landscape which is presented to the student with many complex concepts. It is important that the student be able to visualize the concepts as nursing is all about understanding and not memorization. At exam time, students are normally assigned approximately 19 chapters of

Amy S. - Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 (22.9 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $50.00/hr.
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 rewarding as working with small children. Helping someone achieve a life long dream of obtaining their high school diplom

Jennifer M. - Middletown, NY 10940 (34.2 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten. Holding active NYS certifications in both English and Literacy has had a tremendous impact on the way I teach. I find myself much better able to engage struggling students. Quite often, particularly when it comes to reading, it is the lack of basic comprehension skills that prevent students from being able to fully engage with a text and to perform critical thinking tasks. My experience in diagnosing and instructing students at various stages and abilities of literacy acquisition has helped me garner a talent for overcoming this challenge, and propelling students into higher order thinking. As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will s

Multi-sensory, positive reinforcement approach with a focus on student involvment by the use of manipulatives for a hands on approach.

Collin C. - Monticello, NY 12701 (35.4 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My teaching style is interactive, many of my former students would characterize it as "coaching". I always empower the student to find their way and to have them become "pros" in the learning process.
I do not do the work for them, but I show them how they can make their tasks and finishing them more efficient.
I am a firm believer in the philosophy that edication is not preparation for life, it is life itself. Experience is key. Over 13 years of working with students that were not scholars initially. After learning skills to improve their educational/learning experience, they became more scholarly, and enjoyed learning. This is key.
They just need to change their perspective, and learn how to make "learning" enjoyable, like it was in kindergarden.

Lucie M - Elizaville, NY 12523 (15.6 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am flexible to the need of the student. I experimented different techniques like plays, games, music and video. I also created my own lessons plans according to the level and desires of my students. I also entertained them with my French cuisine.

1. Spring 1997 / Teaching French through games and songs to Elementary students in an after school program call The Explorers (K-5) in Red Hook School District, NY.
2. Spring 2006 Tutoring French privately a High School student grade 10 for several weeks before her Regent French test.

Tara B - poughkeepsie, NY 12603 (16.3 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $46.00/hr.
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. 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.

Carolyn C - Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (16.8 mi) - Testing Skills 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

Michael A - Ellenville, NY 12428 (20.1 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I believe as an educator you have to understand the topic you are teaching and the students your are teaching. As a teacher you are dealing with various levels of learning as well different personalities. I believe you have to be open to what works for the individual and the classroom. Many young students do not understand why they must learn and why it is important. We as educators must show students how education applies to all life, especially theirs. Passion and drive can be all the difference for a childs success. Therefore inspiration is vital and we must provide it to the best of our abilities. Working with students and education has been a part of my life for about 11 years. I first began doing so in high school, around 1999 working as a volunteer with the YMCA. Eventually I became a counselor and would work my way up to Camp Director. I am proud to say that I am the fir
