PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pierrepont Manor, NY

You can preach all you want to children, but if you don't teach, there will be no learning. I believe that children will learn from someone they trust to talk to and from someone who they trust to give them the correct answers to their questions. I enjoy being that person. I like being the person who will sit next to them, talk to them, and help them out. I do not want to be the person across from them speaking without any word from my students. I am teacher who provides my students with energy to succeed. I want to keep their attention for as long as I can on the given criteria, boring or not. Sometimes all someone needs to succeed is a little bit of help and who am I to not offer it to them? I have taught in many areas of study. Since I was young, I taught my younger family members the importance of manners, honesty, care, and responsibility. I believe this has carried into my real-li

Since receiving a Bachelor's in English and Writing, I have developed many diverse skills in addition to those I learned in school. While working as an editor for a publishing company, I was able to hone my ability to write and communicate clearly through the written word. I have also studied music and art from a young age including such subject areas as piano, voice, flute, cello, ceramics, and photography. I have also worked in many environments that required knowledge and use of math skills. I also earned a Master's in education and have worked with children who have disabilities in a recreational environment. In addition to the above credentials, I am recently certified as a fitness trainer. I am a strong believer in relational learning and that is why I support the concept of tutoring. One-on-one instructional guidance from someone who knows and respects you is a great motivati

Before I was able to tutor, I taught 7 year old girls cheerleading. When I began to tutor, I enjoyed being one on one with the child. I am very patient, punctual and considerate. I know children that need extra help need extra time. I find it personally rewarding to supplament a child's education. I also believe it is easier for a child to ask questions when they are one on one with an educator. Beginning in high school I found myself driven to help children in need. Through my participation in Mercy Action, I raised money for mentally delayed children, and set up numerous barbeques for them. Later, I began tutoring a young brazilian boy in the 5th grade. He needed help with all of his studies, especially math and english. As a political science major, I have gained experienced in essay writing, grammatical skills and research methods.

As a teacher of urban students and students who have experienced sever trauma (Hillside), I have gained a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by children today such as home environment and poverty. My teaching style is very structured and includes various modes of instruction. I try to utilize cooperative learning strategies when ever possible. Students can learn alot from each other both intellectually as well as socially. To help students to learn the vast amount of vocabulary included in most science curriculums I teach my students to determine word meanings by braking words down into their latin roots or “decoding”. I also like to teach students important study skills as well as test taking strategies. I have over two and a half years of teaching experience at the high school level. After earning my Masters Degree in Secondary Education from Le Moyne College in 2006

I have earned my bachelors degree in Biotechnology. I will be finishing my masters in education May 16, 2010. I am pending a teaching certification in Chemistry and Biology which should be granted September 1, 2010. I have worked with all different age groups. Recently I worked in an environmental laboratory where I performed what is taught in the biology and chemistry classroom on a daily basis. I have had a great deal of experience working with youth in many different situations and despite my enjoyment for laboratory work I found myself excited to enter into the teaching profession. My previous experiences provide a unique benefit in the classroom. I do not only have the science knowledge but I bring real world practicality of the material being taught. Students will relate with the realism of how science affects their daily life. During my student teaching placements I h

I believe it is very important to be constructive and patient when it comes to teaching. I believe that I am thoughtful, patient, considerate, and compassionate when it comes to teaching. I feel that it is extremely important not to give the student all the answers, but to assist them so they are able to use reasoning to figure out the solutions themselves. I feel that it is very possible that one person can be able to help make an important impact in a students' education. As a graduate of the University of Rochester, I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Aside from this, I also have a minor in Economics, as well as a concentration in English. Throughout this coursework I have written numerous research papers and essays, and as a result I believe I have very strong written, grammatical, and reading comprehension skills. I have a thorough knowledge of English and lite

I began teaching in fifth grade when my science teacher conceded that I knew more about sharks than he did, so when we got to that lesson, I took over for two days. In tenth grade, I had an internship at my high school teaching ninth grade Global Studies. When I graduated college, I began substitute teaching while I wrote my first few novels. I have substituted in every major subject at the high school level. I have also been an adjunct professor teaching study skills and business english at a local college. I tend to prefer lectures combined with textbook assignments as opposed to teaching either using films, powerpoint presentations or computers. I work best with motivated students, even those with lower abilities, though I teach exclusively at the high school level and above. I am patient and one of my greatest assets is in analology; I have a profound ability to take complex id

I graduated from the # 5 rated high school in the country in the upper 1/2 of my class , with a SAT score of 590/670. Helping my fellow classmates in high school in math/science .At the University level I helped classmates in math/science/statistics up to and including graduate students papers. While I am a bookworm ,having over 10,000 volumes .I find it much easier as a business person to convey my understanding of numbers and what meaning they can have to you on activities of daily living . As an engineer/carpenter I can keep rearranging the math/ /statistics concepts to make them more useful to your students , as there is more than one way to convey information. I convey concepts by giving examples of the world around us.By asking you how the numbers can be used to do something around the home or school . To make numbers interesting in a personal way in your pocket .To

I believe in mentoring. It does take a few times for the student (young and old) to understand that I cannot teach them anything. I can present information to them and attempt to inspire them to learn, but they are the ones who ultimately teach themselves. I very much enjoy helping them figure out the answers to their own problems. My motto: It is my job to help you not need me anymore! I am a professional singer, actress and dancer who has taught throughout my 15 year career. I truly love teaching, especially in a one-on-one or very small group setting. Currently I teach private lessons in: piano, voice and acting. I also teach small-group: Piano, Acting, Choir, Learn to Read Music, Creative Movement, Pilates, Boot Camp, Kick Boxing. I also work with the local home school community as a 'tutor' for math and English.

Although my BS degree is in Computer Science, I have taken (and passed!) courses in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering - which means I have learned a lot of advanced math. My work as a software developer required writing "white papers" to explain and describe our software as well as test documents that would allow a person unfamiliar with our software to sit down and formally test it. During the last two years I have formally 'taught' a developmently disabled young person and I tutored a co-worker for two semesters. Both of my parents were teachers and I find myself sharing my knowledge with anyone who seems to need it. I have instructed the ladies in my craft group, answered questions posted online, and tried to instill some basic computer upkeep knowledge in the people who've asked me for help with their personal computers. I loved explaining t

I am a firm believer that every person, child or adult, learns differently. I am very devoted to finding out how that person learns the best and then teaching in a manner that allows for the individual to learn. I graduated from college in 2008 to pursue my career as an accountant. I got a great job that provided me with great experience. After working there for some time I decided to opoen my own accounting firm which I can say is going great. I would love to help others understand the great benefits one can gain from having some accounting knowledge. Math is also a great passion of mine.

My method of educating and teaching style derives from a simple philosophy that experience has the most profound effect on learning. Therefore I always begin my approach by identifying ways in with I can match demonstration to the particular personality of the individual I am teaching. I infuse experiential examples into the textbook explanations to create a more tangible presentation of the information. My objective is to get the student to connect with familiar ideas, emotions, and experiences. I have the ability to simplify and customize the information compatible with the learning styles of the individual. I have devoted much of my time focusing on work with the youth to assist themselves for there own future success. To this extent I have been working in the field of human services in order to profoundly impact the lives of youths through mentoring, tutoring and community superv
