My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!

More About This Tutor...

As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitu ... read more

I teach to the individual, searching out the students learning style and model my teaching efforts based on my assessment. I have spent my career working with those that have had the greatest difficulty learning. I have also tutored and taught those who excel, and those in between. I have been exceptionally successful on all levels.

In 1973 I joined the West Park Union Free School a newly legislated Special Ed. school as a teacher/ administrator. I moved to Educational administration in 1986. I returned to the classroom in 1990. I retired from public education in 2003 and became a teacher for Our Lady of Lourdes HS.

A Little Bit About Me...

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the State University of New York at SUNY New Paltz and I have matriculated into the Master of Arts in Biology program at the same university. As a result of my many research and laboratory reports I have excellent writing and typing skills and have completed many writing assignments including numerous essays in various fields as a requirement of completing my Bachelor of Science degree. Because I have coursework at the graduate level in the field of biology, I have taught at the college level and will continue to do so next semester, so I have roughly 1 year of experience teaching students.
I have several years experience working with children and adults in the education field. The students I have taught at the college level ranged from late teens to early 30s. As I have worked with such a wide range of ages I am familiar ... read more

I graduated from Fordham University with a B.A. in English and a 3.44 GPA in my major. I plan to continue my education and receive my Masters in English. I will receive New York State certification in Adolescent English (7-12) this summer and have several years of experience tutoring students from a range of age groups. I tutored an eight year old girl for two years and tutored a college senior for one year. I also student taught in the Bronx for grades 7 and 10 this past year.
I believe that each student can learn, but every student learns in a different way. It is the teacher's job, therefore, to ensure that his or her teaching style accommodates the student. For students who are more visual learners, I may provide visual aids along with the rest of my material. It is important to assess a student's learning profile before teaching takes place. I also strive to create a war ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to teaching and providing learning opportunities for all ages, from preschool through adults (including those with special needs), in a variety of settings, I am the author of 30 nonfiction books, including those on how to study and take tests, how to participate in class, and how to achieve life-goals step by step. I work as an editor and have assisted writers at various stages in successfully producing their own work. As a specialist in public communications, I am experienced in finding ways to make productive connections with others. This ability carries over into my new career as a counselor, where I practice skills that enhance my success in helping others to achieve their goals, including academic success.
In my experience, the approach that works best with all ages is to form a cooperative bond to make the effort more a “we” project than a “you-must-do-this” on ... read more

I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable. I consider each student individually, and I evaluate what works best for that student in particular. I am trained in various forms of teaching, and I have a complete understanding of the various learning personalities and characteristics of students that I have worked with and will work with in the future.
I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17.

I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12.

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel that understanding the 'why' leads people to more easily grasp larger concepts and makes mistakes easier to recognize. After that practice is absolutely necessary: repetition IS the mother of learning. For children all this has to be presented in an accessible way. I try to contextualize problems in math and science in order to make them easier for children to grasp. Youtube has made potentially dangerous science projects unnecessary in order to illustrate certain concepts, while additional resources, such as the Khan Academy, make math problems easier to review. Having said all this teaching is a near sacred responsibility that I am completely devoted to when given the opportunity.
Earning a BS in Materials Science and Engineering involves knowledge of math, physics, and chemistry. Grammatical and writing skills have been strengthened over the years by writing for the colle ... read more

I bring in enthusiasm and love for knowledge. I want to inculcate the same in every student I interact with. One of my personal traits is perseverance. I want to encourage the same attitude in students with periodic challenges. My communication skills and academic excellence shall provide right environment for students to thrive.
