A Little Bit About Me...

When tutoring my goal is to have students arrive at the answer themselves with my guidance and support to make them feel confident and capable with the material when they are by themselves with the work. I will not give students the answers. I also like to provide tips and hints on how to effectively study and retain material.

My teaching method includes: • lessons tailored to individual ability and temperament, drawing on a personal library of resources • games to promote memorization • laptop presentations to assist in learning grammar, vocabulary, places and dates, and to promote interaction • approachable style and friendly disposition • fun activities which incorporate daily life, like cooking, planning (fictional) travel, watching Youtube clips, and discussing current books, movies and television

Increasing class sizes, parents’ or students' busy work schedules and technological distractions have created an environment in which students can easily fall behind.

More About This Tutor...

My passion is making mathematics accessible. After high school I was underwhelmed by mathematics. However as I took more math in college, I realized how much I had missed in high school. As I learned more mathematics, I became determined to make it my business to find and implement better methods of educating people on mathematics in a way that does not overwhelm them, but simultaneously makes their learning experience more useful. I studied teacher education as an undergraduate, and attended graduate school at Dartmouth where the program in mathematics has a specific focus on preparing one to teach mathematics. I look forward to continuing making progress on my goal of making mathematics more useful, and more accessible to more students.
I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied educ ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a BA in English with a minor in history and have worked as a freelance copywriter and indexer. As the mother of both a teenage son and a daughter, an occasional substitute teacher, and as a long-time Girl Scout leader, I have had the pleasure of working with children of diverse ages and personalities in a variety of situations. My resulting teaching experience has varied from the purely academic to the hands-on. I have assisted younger students in reading and reading comprehension, and older students in essay writing and research techniques. I have also had extensive experience in writing and editing, and have tutored college students in English literature and essay writing.
I am very relaxed around children, and I try to create a patient and encouraging learning environment. I will often answer a question with a question in order to teach students to approach subjects ... read more

I am a Senior Computer Science major at Siena college; my programming experience covers a range of languages, although my strongest is Java. I am currently certified by CompTIA as an IT Technician (A+ Certification), and have built 5 personal desktops over the years for clients. While programming is my main focus in school, I have learned a variety of techniques that bolster that skill, such as Artificial Intelligence design process, and Networking strategies.
My experience teaching started when I worked for Northlands Job Corps Academy. The students that I helped usually came to me not for their classwork, but because they held an interest in learned how their computers and personal devices worked. I feel that most learning comes from performing an activity rather than being lectured, so I prefer to give students a chance to perform the work after I show them a few basics (sup ... read more

I have taugh young girls ranging from 10-13 years old for an LDS Church, and enjoyed working with these girls, arranged activities to fun places and helped college students with certain skill sets - math, English, Computer Programming (C+, Networking, Access, PeopleSoft). I am a very helpful person who loves to help others to success with their classes, and enjoyed seeing how their grades improved with some of the help that I have rendered to these students - they did well on their tests, quizzes and coached them with Speech class as well. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities to help other students and many have gone on to graduate from high schools and colleges.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with people, and have a lot of patience. I work hard to let the student work through problems themselves before assisting them. A lot of students I have spent time with just need a small amount of encouragement and are very capable of completing their work. I enjoy working with different types of people, and adapt my style to fit their needs.
I started tutoring in 9th grade, and continued until my freshman year of college. I tutored middle school and high school students in math, sciences, and social studies. In college I tutored in Level 1 and 2 French, Psychology, and College Level Algebra. I have tutored both male and female students, and have worked with people with reading and learning disabilities.

Due to my background and experience in behavorial science, my warm personality and sense of humor, students quickly learn to trust me; thus the learning begins. My analytical insights and assessments of each student's learning style including their strengths and weaknesses, guides my teaching approach. While each student is held accounable for their best efforts, I create a supportive learning environment, emphasizing their achievements. As I guide the student through newly acquired skills and knowledge, they also develop responsibility for their own learning.
My career in education includes a wide range of experience. I began as a substitute teacher covering for classroom teachers ranging from preschool to the 12th grade.

As an average person, I enjoy teaching children the values and importance of their education while befriending them and understanding where they are in relation to their social-emotional, physical, and educational development.
No two children are the same, and we know that this is correct, so therefore it applies to their learning ability as well. Some children need visual simulation to really ingrain the principle that is trying to be understood. While other's learn by complete repetition. My teaching style is all relative to the child and the subject area being covered.

For students to succeed, they need to be able to have open and respectful communication between themselves and their teacher. Each student brings to a tutoring session or a classroom his or her own self-knowledge about how he or she best learns, and in my teaching I always strive to draw this information out. I work to find those aspects of a subject that are going to cause a particular challenge for a student and those aspects that will come more easily. I believe that in situations where students find themselves comfortable and listened to, I can get a far better grasp of the needs of the individual student, which in turn will lead to more successful learning.
In college, I worked not only to achieve personal academic excellence, but also to help my fellow students attain their academic goals as well. I was a double major, receiving my BA in English and History, and also worked a ... read more

I've had the pleasure of working with students ranging in age from five to fifty. I'm fully prepared to work with students of all ages. While working at an elementary school I discovered the joys of working with students individually. I'm a firm believer in the effectiveness of one-on-one instruction; I've attempted to incorporate individual instruction as much as possible in the university courses I teach. I believe the only good educators are passionate educators, and only through a genuine love for teaching can we reach our students and receive results.
I began my teaching career at a small elementary school in Maine. While there I worked with students ranging from ages five to fifteen. Some of my more memorable experiences were working with second and third grade students who required reading interventions.

With every student I’ve worked with I’ve found that the key to truly appreciating the creative joys of art (whether it be writing, drama, film or painting) is to make clear the inexorable link between the basics of reading and writing and creative freedom. It is my belief that every student can become an avid reader and an excellent writer given the proper motivation and environment. I try to foster such an environment through creating goal oriented lesson plans that result in tangible achievements that show clear progress in learning at the end of every session. Through this, I strive to make reading comprehension and writing exercises a fun and exciting part of a child’s creative development.
