I enjoy working with and teaching all levels of students and children. No two children learn in the same way. It is important to differentiate and identify the way that each child needs to be taught and engaged in the lesson. Lessons must be concrete and meaningful to a child. If things are taught to them in a way and on a level that they can grasp any child can be taught. It is important to me that each child be given an opportunity to learn. It is nice to be remembered as the teacher that changed the way a child feels about school and learning from a negative to a positive experience.
I have extensive experience working with dually diagnosed individuals. The students I taught not only had difficulty learning but also exhibited some emotional and mental difficulties. I work well with students both individually and in group lessons. My special education experience has provid ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion. I find that the single most important factor in being successful while working with children is getting to know them. When you get to know a student and what his or her interests are you get a glimpse into how they learn. Every time I teach I ensure that my lessons are student oriented. I incorporate the student's interests as much as possible. When students are engaged they tend to learn better. All students have the potential to excel. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra attention and explanation that the general classroom teacher may not have the time to give.
As a graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia I am a highly qualified educator. Through the college I have several experiences working one on one with students, tutoring both math and literacy, as well as working with whole classrooms. Since receiving my Bachelor's degree in Edu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a great deal of customer service experience working for both M&T Bank and Key Bank. I excelled in Reading and English subjects throughout school, reading multiple grade levels ahead of myself. I was a writer for Nardin Academy's newspaper and also for Canisius College's newspaper. I have teaching experience in home instruction in flute and piano.
I love teaching and helping children learn. My philosophy is that you have to make this information that your children are learning relatable to what they are going through. If you do this children will enjoy learning. I feel that it is also to make sure that you are helping children learn in a fun, yet productive environment.

More About This Tutor...

I have ten years experience teaching at the college undergraduate level at Canisius College, and five years at Hilbert College. I have been teaching Music History and Music Appreciation classes and always put the music into the social context in which it was produced. I have also taught World Music and Afro-Centric classes and again, place the content in its social context. Prior to this I had a number of years teaching Social Studies and English classes as a guest artist/musician in numerous area high schools. These have included both full classes and individual tutoring sessions. I feel that all this experience puts me in an excellent position for tutoring in History, Social Studies, Humanities, English and Music.
My background in music performances in a school setting has taught me to be able to connect with a student in a very direct and honest manner. Each student is diffe ... read more

Everyone has a different style of learning. It is always my goal to find out what style best suits the student. Whether they are vsisual learners, or simply need multiple ways of hearing an explanation, I strive to meet the needs of each individual person. My greatest joy comes from seeing my students succeed. For this reason, I will do everything in my power to ensure that they receive the best education that I can provide.

I love working with children and I believe all children have the capacity to learn. Teachers need to recognize and learn the correct methods to instruct individual students using their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. I employ various teaching styles based on the student, the subject area, and the goals desired.I am patient, understanding of outside circumstances, and strive to ease the student into the process so they do not become overwhelmed. I keep the learning environment fun but structured so that the student has the best environment in which to learn.

More About This Tutor...

I am qualified to tutor writing, basic computer, reading, basic math, learning, biology, organic chemistry, genetics, geography, and various exams, all from college-level experiences. I had a scientific book in Barnes and Noble, ample graduate-level coursework in Education, experience as a High School teacher, and lived abroad. I have a B.S. in plant biotech from Cornell.
I enjoy earnest and humble students, learning with and from them. I feel uncomfortable not learning laterally as well as vertically, seeing that to be knowledgeable, one must not just memorize but ruminate on what was memorized, making as many lateral connections as expedient. I like to simply direct and expand a student's learning as opposed to an artifactual accomplishment; however, my premiere obligation is punctual achievement of task.
