Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Fayette, NY

I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth. My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.

I'm a fifth-teen year old, currently enrolled at Thomas J. Corcoran High School, where I am a sophomore I currently take IB classes and wanted to start tutoring to pass the time and pick up a little extra cash. I'm drug free and have never tasted alcohol. I try to be patient and usually am. I'd prefer to work with children still in elementary or middle school, seeing as I haven't learned everything yet. I know the basic and more to just about everything eighth grade and below. Typically the setting in which the tutoring will take place will be my house in my dining room area and after that the student may watch television until his or her parent or guardian is there to pick them up.

I described most of that in the above category. I can only add that I taught one-on-one, coached and conducted small ensembles, worked with groups of 100+ as a clinician or guest artist. I enjoyed all these levels of contact. I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues.

I understand the importance of assessing each childs unique learning style. I love working with children, and I believe they learn best in an atmosphere condusive to learning. Each and every child has the capability of maximizing their learning ability. My belief is, children learn best with a constructive yet, non-judgemental approach to learning. Learning is not all "black and white", and sometimes requires educators to be creative with each learning experience. I look forward to making a difference in your childs academic success. During my academic career, I had the fortunate opportunity to complete internships in four elementary schools. I found the one on one time with the children to be the most effective, as well as the most rewarding. It was during this time that each childs unique learning style became apparent. Learning is extremely important in the early years of educati

My teaching style is a combination of techniques I found successful during my educational studies. First, I believe the teacher has to be passionate and have a true love for what he or she is doing; this is passion, or lack thereof, is evident when interacting with a student. Second, patience is of upmost importance. In my experience, nothing inhibits learning as much as a rushed or pressured feeling when one is trying to learn. Finally, it is critical to find a way for the student to relate to the material in a way they understand. Each person is different and the teaching style should reflect that; not everyone fits nicely into a cookie cut template of learning. Every person has the potential to learn anything as long as the opportunity is fairly presented – as a parent of a special needs child, this is something I know very well.

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

I can identify and help students with learning disabilities because I myself have a learning disability. Although I myself was considered to be a slow learner and I had (and still have) dyslexia, I never the less taught myself how to study and how to get through high school, college, and graduate school. I can help the students on their own level because I have been there and I know how frustrating it can be to have to study without having the right tools. I not only tutor students but I also give them the right tools to be able to study and learn for themselves. I have spent most of my career in helping students with learning challenges and other special needs. My strongest asset is that I am very good at teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I have tutored a lot of students who are considered to be slow learners or who have some kind of learning disability. When I first started in t

I truly enjoy inspiring people to love learning! I engage students in their studies in creative ways to connect with their interests. I get to know my learners in order to bridge any gaps that they may have experienced. I work collaboratively with parents, students and their educators to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled. I act as a coach, as well as a cheerleader for my students, and help them to experience the joy of learning! I have had the privilege to teach English at the secondary and college levels. I have tutored in various capacities both in a private tutorial and public, small group setting. I have also participated as a mentor in the New York State Mentoring Program, as well as a volunteer in the Syracuse University conversational English group working with people from China.

My teaching is predicated on the philosophy that all students can achieve academically. Through versatility and flexibility, I strive to satisfy the diverse and individual needs of each child. I thrive on playing a part in transforming a child who hates to read into one who wears out his library card. It is very exciting to me when a child masters a difficult concept and experiences success. One of my greatest assets is my ability to develop positive relationships with students and establish trust. I am kind-hearted, empathetic, and patient. I use humor and modeling as tools to engage students. I am passionate about teaching, dedicated to student development, and enthusiastic about the learning experience. After six years as a high-tech sales representative, I left private industry to pursue a career in education because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people.

I have participated in diverse programs to acclimate myself with necessary skills to communicate and work with young adults. Such programs include the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program and the Elementary and Secondary Education Association (ESEA) at SUNY Geneseo. I have also participated in the Geneseo math club and volunteered as a tutor for local schools near Geneseo as well as schools in my home town of Endwell. I completed my first student teaching assignment at Canandaigua Middle School teaching an eighth grade math class and my second placement at East High School in Rochester where I taught two Algebra courses, a Geometry course and, a Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry course. As a determined and dedicated individual, I take it upon myself to make sure that every student that walks into my classroom leaves with more knowledge about the world of mathematics and how they can apply it to

I have complete confidence that all children are able to learn, but I also understand that some children are bored with it. While I was in high school I had a few teachers who put me to sleep. I didn’t learn anything from them, because their teaching style was very dull. I learned that education is what you make of it – learning can be fun! I am patient, easy going, and considerate. Each person has a different style of learning that he or she gravitates toward, and I will discover that unique style for each and run with it. Every child has a right to a sound and complete education, and I will help your child succeed. I went from a child who didn't enjoy reading to a young adult who finds enjoyment in books. I also recognize how having a passion to read provides that individual with the ability to ultimately obtain a higher position in a career, which in turn allows him or her to
