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.

As a former Principal, Teacher, and Social Worker, I bring 23 years of experience when working with students. My success includes working with children with multiple levels of abilities.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and working with all students. I believe all children can learn and it is about finding the child's learning style. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery. Sometimes I use manipulatives or games to help with instruction. Other times it is a mini lecture or work sheets. It all depends the child and the material that needs to be taught.
As a teacher in the Rome City School District, my goal is to challenge every student in my classroom. My goal is to improve student achievement and help each individual feel more confident. This is my second year teaching first grade in Rome. Prior to my employment in the Rome City School District, I have worked for BOCES and The House of Good Shepherd. I also have taught Summer School Chemistry at Proctor. I earned my degree from SUNY Cortland.

Compasionate and understanding. I like to approach the root cause of the problem. All children have the ability to learn, however not all people have the ability to learn using the cookie cutter approach that most schools use. Patience is one of my key attributes. Understanding the child is key to success as a teacher, and I try to follow that rule at all times. I also believe that organization and routine help continue good study habits into the future. I look forward to working with you and your children!
I have a tremendous amount of experience working with children of all ages. My passion is teaching and counseling. I have taught in the Head Start Program and at a DOD school in the special education preschool. I have also worked with parents on parenting skills and helped them to better assist their children in learning. I also have knowlege and experience in foreign la ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 the world to my children and I miss the joy and wonder of a child who has just understood something for the first time.
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.

Adaptability and goal orientation in a collaborative atmosphere are my "style" in nearly any undertaking ,especially this one ...The assisted writer will always be treated as an equal Nearly all directions are couched as suggestions with the exception of grammar. I am absolutely old school on grammar as correct grammar will survive and "fadspeak" will pass. The client's verbal ability as well their writing must be observed and addressed as they are inexorably linked Writing done prior to my arrival will be analyzed ,the project aim and my role in it will be made clear. When practical, supportive readings can be recommended and mutually discussed in session I do not know it all,.I will employ and encourage by example, the use of both a thesaurus and a dictionary whenever writing or proofreading .

A Little Bit About Me...

During my 23 years of teaching I implemented Kindergarten through 6th grade New York State curriculum in a classroom setting. I attended workshops that focused on computer education, Multiage classroom and positive discipline.
I believe children learn best when they can form a connection to their school work. Writing skills can be improved by using topics that are relevant to the student's life. When working on Reading skills I often use high interest topics such as the arts, sports, computers and science to encourage students to excel. Math can also become more meaningful by using real life situations and manipulatives. It is my goal to increase students' self esteem by providing situations in which they can succeed.

I went into teaching because I enjoy working with children. I do not think of teaching as a job. It is very rewarding to me that I can help children understand complicated material. I make things simple and use things that they already know to build on to get them to understand the material. I like to teach the children pneumatic devices to help them remember the material1. When I instruct the students, I make sure to teach the different learning styles among the children and abilities. Howard Gardener (1983) came up with a theory that there are 8 different learning styles and Carol Ann Tomlinson (2000) came up with a theory called Differentiated Instruction. This is using multiple ways of instruction to ensure that all students are able to learn by the way you teach them. I use many different kinds of assessment as well. I always try to make my lessons as fun as I can to make the studen ... read more

I love to help a student work their way through any difficulty they are having in any of the major subjects. It is always a challenge to direct the students learning and not do the work for them. But it is a good challenge! While I was a supervisor in the ACE based Christian school, I helped many of the students in the school to understand the areas, especially of math and science, where they had difficulty. Most recently I had the challenge of tutoring my wife, who is working on her Bachelors in Healthcare Management, through Business Math and Business Algebra. Again I state that it can prove to be a great challenge, to let her do the work, and not me.
Between the years of 1978 and 1984 I was a monitor and then a supervisor in a small Christian school using the ACE curriculum. They have various programmed learning booklets teaching all of the major subjects. You are actually more ... read more
