I described most of that in the above category. I can only add that I taught one-on-one, coached and conducted small ensembles, worked with groups of 100+ as a clinician or guest artist. I enjoyed all these levels of contact. I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues. As a private teacher meeting individually with a student for an hour each week, I became the main academic and personal adviser for them. I found all of

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

I went from a child who didn't enjoy reading to a young adult who finds enjoyment in books. I also recognize how having a passion to read provides that individual with the ability to ultimately obtain a higher position in a career, which in turn allows him or her to be more able to provide for his or her family. Reading isn't just about the stories - it's about the vocabulary and the knowledge gained from reading. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature, and my GPA was 3.34. I have learned extensive grammatical skills from writing essay papers in various areas of study. I want to show other students how to love reading and learning. I have complete confidence that all children are able to learn, but I also understand that some children are bored with it. While I was in high school I had a few teachers who put me to sleep. I didn’t learn anything from them, because their

I attended Houghton College for 2 1/2 years. Then I went to NCCC and earned an AS, then transferred to Charter Oak State College. They took all the credits I had earned as a student at both schools, allowed me to define my degree, told me which additional credits I needed and granted my degree. I have homeschooled my children for 15 years. My oldest is 19 and going to RIT in the fall. He has an AS which he got the week he turned 18. I also have two teens whom I currently school. I have taught them math courses including Algebra and Geometry, American History, writing, reading, etc. I also taught a class in Spanish 1 for other homeschooled students. I am a patient person who is used to tutoring students as that is what homeschooling is. I believe in learning by doing, experiential education. Many students think that they can't do something that is hard, but when it is broken down into

I love teaching! I feel very much at home in a teaching situation, whether it is one-on-one or in a full classroom setting. I like to provide my students with a number of ways to learn: visual, auditory, kinesthetic – just to name a few. I truly believe that all students can be successful; they only need the right tools. I also believe that students just need positive support to grow and succeed! Every student, no matter what their background or learning style, is an important individual with something valuable to contribute! I am a teacher certified by NYS in Music Education grades K-12, and in Special Education. I did my undergraduate work at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam & my graduate work at Syracuse University. I spent one year teaching 8th grade chorus and music in the Churchville Chili Jr. High School, in Churchville NY. I currently work as a 7th & 8th grade music teac

When helping others, I do it two ways. I tell them how to do it and guide them through it. Other times, I show them how to do it. However, I do not do it for them. I would love to have the chance to help children succeed in their education! It would be an honor! I graduated high school in 2000 with a local diploma and then went on to college at Utica School of Commerce. I graduated in 2002 with an Associated Degree as an Administrative Specialist. I have worked at a few different jobs and just went back to college again at Utica School of Commerce and got my certificate degree as a Medical Office Assistant.

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.

I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Music Education from Houghton College. My education has prepared me to be an outstanding educator. Music covers many subjects, including basic math and the knowledge of various cultures throughout the world. Music is a very hands-on activity, and can be used as a great memorization technique. I believe that a professional educator is honest, caring, personable, hardworking, organized, and has good communication skills. During the past year I gained experience substitute teaching in four school districts at all grade levels and for all subjects. I have substituted for regular classroom teachers and for teacher assistants and aides. In order for students to be successful, teachers must provide the resources necessary for each individual to reach their greatest potential. Every student has his or her own way of learning. It is the teacher’s responsibil

I love teaching, working, and playing with children. I believe that children learn most effectively from using both a hands and minds-on learning/teaching style. As all children come from differing/diverse backgrounds, I utilize communication with both the students and parents in order to effectively teach said child. I believe that all children have the potential for growth and success in the classroom and beyond, if they are given the appropriate tools and encouragement. I have worked as a pre-school teacher for two years in Syracuse, NY, where I was motivated to enter into the field of education on a permanent basis. I went back to school to attain my masters degree in education in 2008, and finished student teaching in December of 2009. I am accustomed to teaching children from various backgrounds, and learning styles. I am eager to initiate a career in education and serve the s
