A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children deserve to be given the chance to learn. I understand that not everyone learns the same way; differentiated forms of instruction are an important part of the day to day teaching method. I find that I am patient with children, allowing them to work at their own speed, and encouraging them to work to the best of their abilities. I encourage a hands-on approach to learning: it’s more fun if you can get dirty! I also believe I have a sense of humor that helps me connect with children. I hope to provide all the help I can to enhance a child’s learning ability.
I have always known I wanted to work with children. I enjoy working in classrooms, as well as in the more relaxed settings, such as summer and after-school programs. I graduated in 2005 from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and a concentra ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After completing my Master of Science degree in Literacy Education, I went on to work as a Reading Specialist in New York City. I gained extensive experience in working with children with a wide variety of reading difficulties. I was able to structure sessions to meet the individual needs of my students. I went on to teach English Language Arts to fifth and sixth grade students where I incorporated authentic literature and read-alouds into my curriculum. This captured the attention of my students and helped them learn to love literature. After all, this is the first step to improving reading skills.
As an elementary teacher specializing in Literacy Education, I feel that reading and writing are the keys to a student's success in all content areas. Reading provides children access to information and experiences they would not otherwise come in contact with. Reading a wide variety o ... read more

I am a pursuer of hard work and performance. I have a double major and a singular bachelor degrees and a master's in literacy as language is very important to me. I have taught and worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system for the last 25 years. I also play the piano, keyboard and organ. I have accompanied students privately on in groups as well. In my language education jobs, I have also taught culture of the English, French and Spanish language groups(in English).
I enjoy teaching and believe that all students can learn. There are many ways to interest them; and with technology, all students will research and work with language and culture. I have had great success with students on a one-to-one basis. In language learning, some students have needed out-of-class time to work privately with me. I have also advised students and interested them in doing pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Siena College graduate I developed a very hands on approach to active learning. Through classroom lecture and instruction I've completed the necessary coursework to complete my BS of biology. Due to my strong work ethic I've gained knowledge and skills in the physical sciences, as well as in other subject areas. During my college years I subbed as teacher at a public K-12 school. During that time I taught a variety of grade levels, and worked as a one-on-one aide.
I believe that in order to succeed in teaching and being an educator you must inspire those that you are teaching. A child who is excited to learn, will do much better. I feel a hands on approach is best, guiding the child to personal success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a strong believer in mastering a topic as opposed to spitting out the correct response. I also believe in finding one’s main learning style and teaching to it, not that of the masses. The classroom environment seeks to teach the most people the most knowledge in a single shot. Tutoring should seek to teach an individual to their greatest potential. I strongly believe that identifying whether someone learns best by seeing, hearing or doing something and delivering the knowledge in that way helps them to better comprehend what they’re doing and be able to repeat it, no matter the scenario they’re presented with. That is, they don’t just learn to spit the answer out. They learn to understand and master the task itself.

I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which transfer into expertise in geometry, and of course 20 years of experience as a counselor.
I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with e ... read more

My teaching style is gentle but firm. I believe anyone can learn, given the proper structure and encouragement. Confidence is critical in learning, and that is what I always try to instill, through gentle but firm instruction and the ongoing development of a student's feelings of personal responsibility for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the University of Michigan with a bachelors in History I feel that I have more than adequate educational experience to tutor students of not only History but also English, Reading, and Writing given their status as essential elements to my study of history. Furthermore my life experience in sales, hospitality, undergraduate research, and with education as an after-school teaching assistant in the New York Public School system has left me well rounded and a great communicator. I feel that I have a strong impact both in terms of building relationships and in connecting people with knowledge and ideas.
As someone who felt in my youth that if I could only pay attention I could learn anything has taught me how to break down the barriers to focus and how it can shape a students success in any discipline. Focusing on my learning style has taught me how to demonstrate comp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I do not have a lot of experience in the teaching field but I am a natural born teacher. I have been a mentor to many people in my life; friends, co-workers, even family members would say the same. If given the opportunity I will be able to grow with and enjoy the success of all my students. We will indulge in the passion of education!
I am a very interactive, do-it-yourself kind of educator. There is nothing more liberating and inspiring than understanding and recognizing the limitlessness of one's own ability. With just the right push from me, our children can reach unbeleivably great heights!

I love children for their unabashed honesty. I treat them with respect and do my utmost to listen deeply to their needs. I'm a very patient, detail-oriented person and frequently use humor to create an environment that the child finds is fun in which to learn and one where both mentor and child have mutual respect. A willingness/openness to learn the challenging subjects is key on the child's part. It is a joy to help a child learn and watch them grow more confident in the process.
I have enjoyed the written word my entire life. I have written poetry, screenplays, short stories, advertising copy, grants, business plans, marketing plans, newsletters and press releases. My understanding of grammar and syntax is second nature to me. I have tutored children in English (reading and writing) for more than 15 years.
