I've worked with one of the top tutoring companies in NYC who would charge $400/50minute session. I learned a lot from that experience and want to bring that to you at a much more affordable rate. My scores are ACT: 34/36 SAT: 2400/2400 superscore I've also received 800's on the Math IIc and Physics subject tests, and 11 perfect scores on Advanced Placement Exams, so I'm a test taking pro. In addition to this, I integrate valuable life lessons rarely taught or even mentioned in primary school and college that help students become more successful and balanced people in the real world. My students continually come back to me and thank me for showing them these quick and simple tools in stress management and productivity. I call it the Holistic Approach or Whole-Person Centered Tutoring.

I have been tutoring for both adults and adolescents for over five years in a variety of fields. I develop individual learning plans that are designed based on each students strengths and learning style. Additionally, I have found that making the material relevant to life outside of the classroom results in greater mastery. The material will be taught so that it is easily transferable to other areas. I have experience helping students with and without special needs.

I have been fortunate to have a variety of experiences during my teaching career, 29 years total. As a reading teacher, special ed. teacher, and elementary teacher I have taught most subjects at all levels. During my my most recent experience work at the FingerLakesDDSO I prepared students for the GED as well as taught life skills to developmentally disabled students. I am most proud of my work as a reading teacher; I have always been able to teach students how to read if given the time to do so. The majority of my teac hing career has been as a reading teacher, much of it at the elementary level. I believe that all children need to be motivated, first extrinsically and later intrinsically to maximize learning. I use the standard teaching style of modelling, guided practice, independent practice, and evaulation. This means that students pratice what they learn in the classroom and o

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

I love to be around students who are eager to learn new things. I typically take a very hands on approach to learning, especially with science, as I believe it makes it more fun and easier to understand. I am a very patient person, easy going and a good listener. I always hope to leave my students with the same love for science that I have. I have taught for two years as an Earth Science teacher in the Rochester City School District. I was also a teaching assistant in a K-5 building in West Irondequoit (self-contained classrooms). I have been a substitute teacher/teaching assistant in the Penfield Central School District. I have also spent some time tutoring some students from Penfield in Earth Science. In college at Fredonia I tutored students in Geology and Geography.

At the University at Buffalo I worked as a tutor for university students in subjects ranging from English and Spanish to biology and calculus. My BS is in biomedical sciences but I am also a proficient writer and have taken many English courses. I received an award for Outstanding English Student in high school. In addition, I worked for the WHIZard Academy for Mathematics and English in Penfield, NY as a chemistry tutor for a high school student in preparation for the regents exam. I created lesson plans and compiled practice test questions because the company did not possess the materials to properly prepare the student for the exam. In my experience, most students learn best by practicing the material and get bored listening to long lectures. However, as I learned from students and from a college tutoring course, all students have different styles of learning and I tailor my teaching

My teaching style is patient and relaxed. I encourage children to find the answers on their own with my guidance and tons of encouragement. I feel that children flourish in this type of environment. I strive to provide all the tools, guidelines, and expectations necessary up front in order to create a relaxed environment where the focus is on learning and less on apprehension or nervousness. Throughout my job positions I have mentored and tutored new coworkers to bring them up to speed on business/IT systems. I have written technical documentation and test cases for 7 years. Recently, I was attending writing-intensive classes at Empire State College which has enabled me to brush up on grammar and writing for research papers. I currently script requirements and scenarios for an IT company as a Business Analyst.

I was born and raised in Vietnam. My parents wanted me to have the best education possible. As such, they sent me to the finest schools they could afford. The educational system back home "forced" every student to learn every subject in the native tongue and in a foreign language. Mine was French. By the time I left VN in 1975, I spoke Vietnamese and French fluently. Even though my English-speaking and writing ability was weak at first, my educational background prepared me well for studies in Rochester, NY. I quickly excelled in all my classes. I won several scholarships to colleges and ultimately chose the University of Rochester (one of the finest universities in the US). After working a year after college, I then pursued a Master's in Statistics from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Immediately upon my graduate graduation, DuPont and Eastman Kodak offered me jobs as a Quality E

The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet exciting way has proven the best method for engaging students of all ages. As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement,

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 City, Me

As a non-traditional, graduate of Nazareth of Rochester, it has become very clear why an excellent education is clearly the only way to achieve autonomy, which I believe is crucial to all. I earned my dual-certification and Bachelor's Degree in Regular Education and Special Education. Because my own son had learning disabilities, I earned my Master's in Reading. I have worked with the Rochester City School District for 8 years. This experience has given me the opportunity to be involved with very diverse learning styles and abilities. The following is my personal philosophy of education: I believe that all children have the to ability to learn. A student's curriculum should be integrated with multiple-intelligences in mind. It is crucial for students to be able to make personal connections in their learning. Good teaching means engaging students in meaningul dialogue, text and their
