Rajiv G. - Alplaus, NY 12008 (29.5 mi) - TOEFL Tutor - $22.50/hr.
Tutoring Approach:
I like to tailor my tuition depending on the student's individual needs as I understand and respect that each student is unique. The first step I take in my approach to tutoring new students is to understand and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
I use different styles and methods of teaching depending upon the student's ability and attitude. My main method is to first listen to the student's problems and help them to come to the correct solutions making sure that they understand and are involved in each and every step. I give my students the necessary confidence to ask me questions without any hesitation and often use everyday life experiences to explain subjects. I am inclined to use the reduction method . i.e. breaking down a large problem to small parts in order to make it understandable when I feel its appropriate . This method is particularly effective wh

Kathy B - Hudson, NY 12534 (25.5 mi) - TOEFL Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I believe teaching is more than just showing how to solve a problem, but is helping the student to discover the “bigger picture”. For that reason, I ask a lot of questions to ensure that a student is not just learning by rote, but understands a topic within its larger context. In that way, he or she is learning not only how to solve a particular problem or answer a specific question, but also how to apply it to other problems in the future.
I also like to make problems relevant. Students often complain that there is no reason to study something – math, for example. But I like to show that indeed, they use it all the time and that it can be fun. Learning should not only be effective, but enjoyable as well. At my Ivy League college, we were taught not just facts, but how to learn. This invaluable skill has stood me well and put me in an excellent position to teach. I have continued to lo

Mary M - Albany, NY 12203 (25.9 mi) - TOEFL Tutor - $42.00/hr.
The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill.
Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combined way. So they might use other skills taught before such as note taking, highlighting, all in context. The purpose of the skills are stressed, students are taught not just what to do and how, but also why. The students then reflect on how well they used the skills, what gains they were getting and so on, and then they action plan for improvement. As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. These degr

Amanda D - Albany, NY 12203 (26.1 mi) - TOEFL Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I understand frustration at school because I experienced it myself. I believe a better grasp of communication (reading, writing, speaking skills) can change a student’s confidence about learning (and life) and improve scientific outcomes on class grades and standardized tests. Communication and literacy skills improve when students have concrete know-how (like grammatical structure or organization in writing) and opportunities to use these skills in a supportive (non-judgmental) atmosphere. This is the magical combination I strive to provide when teaching. I began as a middle school English teacher in the Bronx a decade ago. For ten years I’ve taught English language and literacy skills in New York, Oakland and Ecuador. I speak Spanish and have a second master’s degree in journalism. I achieved humbling recognition as a writer and producer of print and radio journalism in Alabama and New

Julie M - Schenectady, NY 12308 (26.8 mi) - TOEFL Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I spent several years in my last job role developing and implementing a training program on budgeting, cost reporting and government compliance for low-level fiscal staff working on community service providers in New York City; often English competency of these staffers was low. I greatly enjoyed this experience that demonstrated my outstanding ability to teach and relate well with those often not of my same ethnic / cultural background. Throughout my career I have provided instructional guidance to others. My 20-year career experience includes competencies in all phases of accounting and financial analysis, auditing and risk assessment, and general / entrepreneurial business management. I'm highly competent in developing financial reports, analyses and internal controls from past business leadership and management roles, and have experience using wide range of accounting information

I love teaching, coaching and mentoring children. My pleasure derives from your child’s success at school or in their lives.
