Learning Can be Easy and Fun!

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor.
For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B. Also, I prepare students for SATs/ACT, and ... read more

Lifelong learner wants to help!

Patience is a true virtue! When teaching children, patience has to be presence. I have learned through my experience, a calm environment with a patience and observant teacher who is willing to try to understand how the child learns, goes a long way because all children are not the same; therefore, they do not learn in the same manner.
Hello All, I am currently a 3rd grade teacher in a ICT classroom in Brooklyn,NY. I truly enjoy educating children and helping them develop a greater understanding of different concepts. I am into my 4th year of teaching. I am highly dedicated and motivated teacher who is willingly to go above and beyond to help children succeed.

Writing is simple when you allow it to flow from your heart.

I have a very basic philosophy on writing. It's about developing your own voice. Everything flows from that.
I am an experienced journalist, filmmaker and creative writer. I have experience with many kinds of writing. I have worked at major news organizations such as Reuters, AP and Bloomberg News and have written in many different genres. I would love to help you with your work.

Environmental Journalist to help with reading and writing

I am an environmental reporter based in New York. My articles have appeared in New Scientist, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Popular Science, OnEarth Magazine and Smart Planet. I was also a copy editor with a large publishing house for two years where I used my spelling and grammar skills to fact check and proof read manuscripts. I love to travel and learn about people and the world and spent two years living in Paris, France where I was an English tutor to French children and adults. I also co-host a podcast about fairy tales called Tabled Fables. Each month we discuss a different tale to find out what the story means, how it's evolved and what makes it stick.
I like to help people learn about English by exploring their interests. For example, if you are a fan of economics we can read The Economist and discuss world politics. If you prefer to talk about animals we can crea ... read more

My comments on tutoring Literature : I have taught American Literature, World Literature, and Introduction to Literature courses for high school seniors (AP Lit) and college freshmen/sophomores.

I have over ten years of experience writing and editing creative and argumentative work. During and after graduate school, I taught composition, creative writing, American and world literature at liberal arts colleges and junior college throughout the south. When I moved to New York, I continued to write and edit, working with numerous authors in librarianship, international studies, and argumentation theory. I am most qualified to assist motivated high school and college students in any area of writing composition and introductory literature.
I have a laid-back, respectful attitude toward students, with my primary interest being their successful understanding of the subject area. As well as being a valuable tool in the workplace, writing is fun and rewarding; I want students to see the benefits of writing without feeling burdened.

I like to get students to comprehend the material and then have them push themselves and use what they have learned.
I have been a teacher in Stamford Public Schools K-12,a United Nations correspondent, published a novel, and have a BA in Literature from Purchase College. I have experience with teaching large classes or individual tutoring, and I'm great at presenting ideas that the student can identify with. I get people I'm working with to realize they can do more than they think they can.

Believe in yourself, and you are half-way there!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.
My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

My comments on tutoring Literature : Teach literature towards proficiency in taking English Regents exam.

I was employed by the Lakeland Central School District as a substitute Teacher Aide and later in a full time capacity. I worked for the OASIS Program and later at the Alternative High School. After completing my Bachelor's Degree at Concordia College, I applied for and was accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows Program.

I am currently finishing my Master's degree program at City College of New York, expected graduation is May 2013.
I have a varied style, which is geared to the learning style of my students. I teach world to text, text to text, text to life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a private tutor and academic coach since the summer of 2020. Previously, I taught creative writing to children ages 8-18 at Writopia Lab's summer sleepaway camp (2017). I interned with the reading specialist, ESL teacher, art teacher, and speech therapist at Anne Hutchinson School in 2016 and 2017. I helped students struggling with reading and writing. I worked as a volunteer teaching assistant at Sarah Lawrence College's Early Childhood Center in 2016 and again during the 2019-2020 school year.

All children can learn,

My style adapts to student's needs. There are multiple points of entry for undertanding.
I have taught Language Arts in Middle School, 7th and 8th grade. In addition, I taught all major subjects in Grades 3, 4, 5. I have worked with students in regular education classes, and also have had previous experience with special needs children ( behavior and academics). My students have been successful with city and state assessments, and in the recently developed ratings in NYC I am "effective", very close to "highly effective", in their newly developing rating system.

When she left ten years later, Erin Kissane had been A List Apart’s editor-in-chief for nearly a decade, and she had also served as content strategist for Happy Cog for over five years. She is a brilliant writer, editor and human being, and I am proud to be her friend. Pretty good story, right? So, those emails worked.
