Tutoring for YOU with compassion and excellence

I work with students on their level, and then assist students to build skills at the next level. I work to match my instructional style so that it corresponds to the student's learning style and comfort level. Moreover, it is important to relate new information to something that is familiar to the student; this is also how I help students to learn.
I have taught a variety of subjects, and I have worked individuals from elementary school through college. I am currently working with Rochester Educational Opportunity Center as a part time instructor. In addition to this, I teach as a volunteer math tutor to adults who are preparing to their GED and TABE exams.

Let me help you make a tough subject likeable

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.
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.

I feel it is important to understand what is different and unique about every student. Not all students will learn in the same way, nor will they find their desire to learn in the same way. I feel it is my duty as a teacher to find what these ways are for every student. Differentiation is vital to the learning process and can only be executed effectively if you know your students.
In high school I tutored junior high students who were having trouble in with school. After high school I joined the U.S Navy, where I trained junior personal for three years. I used my G.I bill Benefits to attend the University of Connecticut, where I received my Bachelors in History with a minor in Political Science. I stayed at the UConn to complete my Masters in Education where I complete 15 weeks of student teaching. Most recently I have worked as a substitute teacher at both the middle and high sc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Finger Lakes Community College with an AA in Elementary Education. I passed the NYS Teacher's Assistant Skills Test in 2006. I worked at BOCES as a tutor. I tutored high school, middle school and elementary school students. I also worked in the BOCES classrooms as a teacher's aide. I worked at BOCES for 3 years. I also worked at Happiness House as a substitute residential aide, and my duties included helping young residents with their homework and reading with them. I must also mention that I helped my own two children with their homework, and now I help their young children with their work.
If I am tutoring a young person I contact the teacher so that I can find out what areas the student needs review in. Many times the teacher will give me the resources and materials to use. Also, I like to use the guide books for each grade that are sold in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since April 2007, I have been a substitute teacher at both the Watkins Glen High School and Middle School. Frequent subjects include English, Psychology, and Physical Education. I belong to a writers group which meets at the local library every first and third monday. I belong to a chess club that meets at a coffee shop every Thursday. I also assistant coach varsity and college soccer during the spring and fall seasons.
I believe that education should present as much material to the student as possible, which includes using various textbooks, lecture, and inquiry. After that, it will be up to the student to assess and construct the information given in order to form his/her own opinion about the subject matter. True education and learning is ownership of the subject matter which comes through effort and discipline and a little bit of guidance.

More About This Tutor...

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 tutoring because it allows me to get to know students who don't take French and also I love to teach other subjects outside my own area. Teaching is the best job there is--I get such a great energy from my students every day! I rarely miss a day of school, and I look forward to going in to work every morning. Everyone should be so lucky to have a job they absolutely love!
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 bet ... read more

Teaching is my passion. I work extremely well versed at working with kids. I have been working for a before and after school program for 2 years now. I believe in never giving up on any child. In my field experiences I have been in teachers see improvements with their struggling students. In teaching I believe in differentiated instruction. I think it is extremely important to find out what the student it interested in and base their learning off of that weather it be math, reading, or science.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is really what I take pride in and consider myself proficient at. As a co-founder of Read for the Stars, I helped developed a program for at risk, elementary level, inner city students which involved traditional, sit-down tutoring as well as active learning in order to serve the greatest amount of students possible. As a resident assistant for freshmen males, I have learned how to handle crisis situations and tailor my teaching style to all types of personalities. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the finished product and the gratification students feel when their hard work has allowed them to succeed, because that is when I know I have done everything I needed to do and set out to do.
As a graduate of a small, liberal arts college, I feel that I have a unique perspective on learning. With over 50 credits for my BS in Biochemistry as well as my “core” (including En ... read more

Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I can become a better teacher only by continually challenging myself and my students. The key phrase “engaging students” seems less than what is required in the classroom. I want my students to be engaged but I want them to encompass and enjoy what they are doing as well. I love technology and new method topics; I have a very strong math and science background as well as excellent written and verbal presentation skills. I was a hands on learner and often use hands on methods to teach when possible. I have taught every level from kindergarten to college level and feel comfortable doing so.
I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try se ... read more

My goal as a teacher is to see that each individual harbors the goal to become a life long learner. Many feel that they are not cut out for advanced studies in college, and I like to help that individual find an area that they feel successful in and encourage them to investigate it and see what possible opportunities it can lead them to. Learning takes place not only in classrooms, but outside of them as well. I believe in working with students to find alternative ways of advancing their knowledge. For example, I work with what students are interested in and turn it into lessons. I firmly believe that life experiences open the doors to learning and my goal is to find opportunities to present that.

My teaching style is very well rounded. Meaning I utilize a vast array of tools, high tech to low tech. From smart boards (promethean), webquests via the internet, to old fashioned poster board in a cooperative learning atmosphere. At Harrisburg in the urban environment, I learned to utilize many styles due to low resources and a diverse student population where I had to appeal to a diverse group of learners. I enjoy one-on-one direct teaching the best. In what ever setting I found myself in I utilized the tools I had to the best of my ability to instill knowledge and learning styles in my students.

As a lifelong student of the humanities and English, I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and helping others. As a result, whenever and wherever I have been, whether in academia, work environments, or with friends and family, I have sought to apply what I know by teaching. I have many years of experience teaching others, especially in the areas of English (extremely talented writer), history (specializing in world history and the history of empires), social science (with a focus on psychology and sociology) and philosophy. I find no greater thrill in life than when, as a result of my teaching and assistance, the light comes on over the student's head. Beyond pay and self-achievement, this is the true joy for any teacher.
One of the advantages of my background is the variety of people I have worked with. Regardless of different cultures, races, socioeconomic back ... read more

I really enjoy working with all people, I understand that everyone has a learning style, but above all you have to work hard to get to the next level. I am patient, thoughtful and willing to offer my support. I think it's important to summarize the important parts of the subject and then have the student remember them and focus on how to manipulate those parts into useful problem solving skills. I know I can make a great instructor for you.
