I can help you be successful in school and in life

I am a NYS Certified School Psychologist. I have worked in an Elementary School building for 2 years and have been working for WFL BOCES for the past 8 years with students in high school. I have experience working with students with a variety of learning needs as well as with students with significant social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. English and Math are (2) of my strengths but I am well versed in many of the academics skills necessary in order to obtain a NYS Regent's Diploma. In addition, I have been playing guitar for the past 6 years and would love to help out students who are interested in learning how to play.
Overall, my style is fairly casual. I meet students where they are at and have a unique ability to take them to where they want to go. I try to tap into strengths and inspire students to invest in learning by identifying their interests and making co ... read more

Learning's only effective if it's fun.

I have a goofy, hands-on style. I try to make it fun. I am very strict, however, when it comes to grammar, respect, and completing proposed tasks. Obviously I have different styles for adults and children. My lessons are always custom designed with the client in mind and age-appropriate. I have an arsenal of materials and activities which I constantly draw from. I aim for a balance between games of all sorts and drills/assessments. I have to be very flexible and creative while teaching, and I enjoy it very much.
Thanks for reading my profile. I have tutored French and Spanish at my community college. I have conducted "baby groups" for children 6 mo. - 1 yr in a multi-lingual center for children where I worked in Moscow for three years. I have taught groups of adults English as a Second Language at Inlingua language school in DC. I have taught middle school Russian and Critical Thin ... read more

Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate effective writing and useful technique. For 20 years I was a financial analyst at a NY brokerage, where I turned out 2,500 words per day of analysis and commentary. I was also a language and usage consultant at a financial boutique and a legal proofreader. I am particularly good at eliciting enthusiasm for good writing and appreciation of English grammar. I am a practiced writer with business and creative writing experience and training.
Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching and tutoring for the past 10 years. I have a large variety of teaching supplies and resources to use to enhance the learning experience. I enjoy using hands on materials and other recourses to meet the needs of all kinds of learners. I have a “what ever it takes” attitude when it comes to teaching. I have found that creativity is an essential quality of a tutor. I have a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education. I am just currently working toward an Advanced Special Education Master's degree. I will complete this degree this January 2011. I have had additional training in reading interventions, social skills instruction and writing instruction for the elementary level.

More About This Tutor...

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

I have a passion for teaching and the everyday rewards. Because I have worked in bilingual, private schools in a foreign country I have successfully learned to handle diversity. I have learned to appreciate the individuallity of each student and his or her needs in processing, learning and how they interpret the world. I use Bloom's Toxonomy and Gardner's Multiple Intelligence to build my lessons in a differentiated form to reach each student on his or her level. It is important for me to know each of my students so that I might be able to help them reach their learning goals and motivate them to take more responsibility for their own learning. In this way their progress is their own and that makes it more meaningful for them.
In my 28 years experience in the field of education I have taught all grades from pre-kinder through university in bilingual private schools in Mexico Ci ... read more

My ultimate goal is to utilize the professional training and experience I obtained in the field of education to help others learn and grow. Both my B.S. in Education earned from SUNY Geneseo and my Masters in Reading earned from Edinboro University have prepared me to reach this goal. For the past twelve years, I have gained experience providing instruction and support to students in several different local school districts in a variety of roles, including working as a per diem substitute teacher, a teaching assistant, a permanent substitute teacher, and a long-term substitute teacher. In my role as a teaching assistant I had the opportunity to successfully work with struggling students in small group and one-to-one settings, while in my role as a long-term substitute teacher I gained experience working with a wide variety of students in multiple settings.

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

My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary education, English, and special education. While I spent the majority of my teaching career bolstering language skills, specifically reading comprehension and writing, I also taught algebra and biology to high school students as a resource room teacher. Equipped with improved study skills, students have strategies that make them more successful in understanding more sophisticated content.
All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Cornell University in May of 2009, I was hired as a legislative assistant in the New York State Senate where I write press releases, columns, letters, and speeches as well as correspond with various state and federal agencies on a daily basis. Throughout my experiences I have learned to write and communicate in clear and direct terms and believe that I have the knowledge and ability to assist any student in achieving their goals. As a martial arts instructor for 3 years, I developed unique tools to motivate and teach discipline to students of all ranks, ages, and ability levels. I believe these same principles can be applied to teaching any subject matter.
My teaching style revolves around patience. No one can learn overnight and no one who is struggling already can work under pressure. It is vital to cultivate a strong and positive attitude toward the subjec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

If you are in need of a writing tutor or English skills tutor (grammar, punctuation, proofreading), I'm the one you want and need. I have a B.A. in English with a concentration in Written Communication. This means that I focused on writing as part of my degree program. I LOVE to write, and if I had the time, I'd write a book - maybe someday. I also have a Masters degree in education, and I taught English in public high school for 5 years. I have tutored students that I taught, as well as those outside of the traditional school setting, through online tutoring programs. Anytime I am able to share my knowledge with others, I feel that I am using my education as I'm helping you to use and further yours.
I enjoy teaching students who are willing to learn. You don't have to love to write as much as I do, but it's my hope that I can make it a little easier for you. I am very structured, ... read more

I believe that teaching needs to be tailored to the student. We all possess the ability to learn; sometimes we just need guidance in "how" to learn. I am dedicated to finding that "how" with the student, and translating that into an atmosphere where the student will succeed. I am creative, energetic, and love to make learning fun. I will use every resource possible, in order to make the most of each student's learning.
I am an alumni of Alfred University, with my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, concentration in clinical/counseling. For the past two years, I have been a graduate student in the Criminology Department of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have extensive field experience with mental health consumers, minority and criminal populations. I am dedicated to stength-based plans for overcoming barriers to success.
