My teaching style is very flexible depending on specific students need. Tutoring students for the past six years in a variety of levels and disciplines. I have a bachelors degree from the University of Rochester (2005). Experienced in working with kids who have ADD/ADHD. I can cater to specific needs and learning styles and am able to help with homework, studying, test preparation, etc. In the past I have helped students go from failing to honor roll and have obtained most of my clients through referrals.

The most important thing when working one-on-one with a student is to find out the best ways that student learns. Patience is important, as is humor. In 20 years of teaching experience I have tutored students of all ages, different socio-economic backgrounds and intellectual abilities, as well as in a wide variety of subjects. I have tutored in four public school systems, in private practice with with adults who needed help to prepare for tests and for adults who either wanted to study for their own enrichment or to advance in the corporate world.

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject. As a private school and state school graduate,I recieved a broad and varied background in higher education.I taught at two Catholic Schools. I have performed also as a substitute teacher with the experience of teaching at most grade levels and subjects. I have also performed Homebound Teaching f

I hold a bachelor's degree in international studies which required me to take numerous courses in the political science department. I am very experienced in teaching small groups of college level students. During my senior year of college I was selected to be a Russian apprentice teacher through Kenyon College's Intensive Language Program. I taught students three times per week for approximately an hour each session. I had to go through training for this position, which taught me how to design lessons and utilize teaching tools to help students understand the material. As I am a recent graduate myself, I understand the needs of most students and what it takes to keep them engaged in learning. For example, I frequently used games as memorization tools for students that focused on repetition as a learning aid. In September, I am leaving to take part in the Peace Corps as a teacher of Engl

My goal as a teacher is to help students learn and understand Math. I believe as a teacher, you want to pass onto your students to excel in whatever they want to achieve in life. I find students today are in a very competitive and stressful environment in the classroom. The pressure to succeed or be above average is great and can cause the enjoyment in learning to be lost. Mathematics is challenging, and some students pick up the concepts very easily, while others do not. It is important not to lose the students who are having difficulty. Through tutoring sessions, or help from other students in the class, the goal is for the entire classroom to succeed in mathematical learning as a team effort. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Minor in Mathematics, I accepted a position with Xerox Corporation as an entry-level programmer. During my employment at Xerox, I su

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life! I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy tutorin

I am looking to forward to teaching and would like display my skills. I am a very energetic person with the ability to take control of a classroom while producing winning results. It is my pride and joy to work with children and to help them grow and learn through an individualized learning environment. I command a strong and positive presence in the classroom in where the children respond well and look forward to learning every day. It is important to make learning fun and even more important to instill pride in ones accomplishments. These are some of the building blocks of a successful classroom and classroom environment. I have had the unique opportunity through my diverse educational experiences to work with many different types of people. My initial degree is in Social science from Alfred State University. Throughout my education at Alfred State University I truly believe I beg

I earned my master’s degree through the Philosophy and Social Sciences Department of Teachers College, Columbia University. The focus of my degree was Anthropology and Education, reflecting a life-long interest that has taken me to international schools in various parts of Africa and SW Asia. I have extensive experience as teacher, program coordinator, and administrator in schools in such diverse locations as Tunisia, Zambia, Cameroon, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. I have worked with students, parents and teaching colleagues of many different nationalities and ethnicities. I also have taught at private schools in Connecticut, New York, and Ohio, and I taught one year as a contract sub in Rochester City School District. I am used to working in a learning environment that stresses academic rigor alongside development of the whole person. I was coordinator of the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) a

I have 23 years as a public school teacher in Rochester, NY. I hold a MS in Education in Secondary Social Studies, and a BA in Communications/Journalism. I am very familiar with the New York State Education Department's requirements in the areas of Social Studies and English Language Arts. My grammar and organizational skills are very strong, and I am an excellent writer and editor. The majority of my teaching has been in the area of Secondary Social Studies. I believe strongly that any student can be inspired to embrace learning. I have found that meeting students where they are at (academic level) is most crucial to inspiring learning. In additional, centering teaching around specific student needs is equally important. This is a challenge when students feel pressured to pass tests, but it can be done! I embrace an inquiry-based model of teaching/learning.

My teaching style depends on the student. Some students need more visual and audio while others depend on memorization. I like to modify my style that suits their needs as a learner. I beleive in comprehension skills, memorization and learning key concepts to help them link connections. I am currently a substitute teacher and work everyday in one of four school districts in the Rochester area. I enjoy helping and tutoring kids. I teach ESL to adults on Monday and Wednesday nights and that is very similar to tutoring. I believe tutoring is very rewarding as a teacher and for the student.

I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greater reward than unlocking each individual's potential for academic interest and success. Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I ha

As all of us are unique human beings, we have unique learning styles and learn best when we are using these styles to acquire and use information. I am continually amazed at the progress each student can make when encouraged to use the skills he possesses. As a teacher, I try to illustrate the principles I teach: respect for self and others, patience, a sense of humor, and academic rigor. As a teacher of English, I believe that everyone has a story to tell and telling these stories brings great joy to both the writer and the reader. My students have demonstrated, -- and told me, -- that I am correct about this. I have taught students in grades 1--5 as a substitute teacher in the Rochester, NY public school system and full time as a teacher of 9th and 10th grade English (one semester) and 7th grade Science (one semester) in a private school. In addition, I have developed curriculum and in

I have had a variety of experiences that have prepared me to tutor students at the elementary, middle school and high school level. I have taught Sunday School for several years. I also was on a team that created a training system at Eastman Kodak and then trained production workers. I have a Bachelor's degree in business administration and a B.S. in Accounting. I have also had several experiences in writing besides the written assignments in college. I have written songs as part of my hobby as a guitar player and I have posted several poems on poetry.com. Finally, I have tutored my two children through their successful high school careers. Since learning is such an individual endeavor, I believe that flexibility is one of the most important ingredients for good teaching. A good teacher (or tutor) is responsive to the student's learning style, and indeed, to the student's mood dur
