SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ransomville, NY

I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until graduating in 2008. In my senior year I gained employment as a tutor/mentor for several government-funded high school tutor/mentor programs including GEAR UP through Canisius and Upward Bound through D’Youville. Finally, I was able to capitalize on my experience tutoring by landing my current position as educational coordinator for a 21st Century Program at the Father Belle Community Center. As educational coordinator, I tutor, direct other tutors, and arrange for the provision of life skills courses. I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Furthermo

I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging. I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!

I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

I have worked with all levels of students from very bright elementary school to graduate students and post doctorate students. I understand that all students learn in different ways. I talk with student and parent and see what they need and want from a tutoring session. I have an easy going style and try to make the learning fun. However, it is learning and not play -time. We must work together in order to achieve student goals. I like to see results and watch students grow in confidence and competence in all areas of their lives. I tutored inner city youth through a program at D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY. I helped many International Graduate Students improve their English and writing skills. I worked one on one with these students to help edit thesis, statement of purpose, and essays. I have also worked with adult students who want to reduce their accents. I do this by

I am very much invested in both structured and intuitive teaching. I consistently try to instill in my students a sense of the dynamic interplay between these two facets of the production and maintenance of knowledge. I encourage them to know the inside of "the box", but to be ready and willing to think outside of it when the situation demands it (as it very often does). I want my students to speak for themselves, but to be equally capable of listening. I view teaching as a collaborative endeavor, and it is my firm belief that both teacher and student are always engaged in both aspects of its cause. That is, we are always both teachers and students together. I graduated from Rutgers University Cum Laud, and with departmental honors in English. After completing my undergraduate degree I traveled to Chile where I taught English at three private academies from grades 8 to 12. In addi

I believe in finding methods appropriate to each student, depending on their level of development and interests. There is no simple way to help students advance their learning, without a commitment to hard work and discipline. Helping motivate students is a product of finding common ground between student and teacher. Helping a student "see the light" in a subject of study is always exciting, and never gets old. I was recognized for my teaching abilities during my undergraduate years, having been selected as a teaching assistant as a freshman for sociology courses. As a graduate student, I spent much of my time as a teaching assistant and later as an instructor at the college level. I spent several years reading and evaluating statewide public school exams in science, math and writing, while helping shape the questions asked by state exam boards for primary and secondary

My teaching style includes some lecture, covering basics like definitions, concepts and explaining how things work. I also like to do hands on activities so students can really incorporate the concepts from the lecture. I also have assigned papers, class presentations, class discussions and team projects. I try to do a little bit of everything because people learn in different ways. I have a BA in Geology in which I focused on Earth Science, took at least 1 year of Calculus, Physics and Chemistry. I have been taking graduate classes in Biology and Microbiology. In my academic career I have prepared lectures and seminars for students on scientific topics and have recently begun teaching at Erie Community College in their Biomanufacturing department being responsible for teaching basic lab skills, aseptic technique and lab safety. I have personal and job experience in labs. I've worked in

My teaching style is centered around student activity. Students must be able to fully understand the objectives of the lesson and be able to construct the meaning of the lesson on their own. All steps should be modeled and structured for clarity. I have graduated from Canisius College with a Master degree in Education. I am currently on track to have NYS initial certification by February. My student teaching was conducted at Hamburg Middle School and Lackawanna High School in 9th grade social studies and 7th grade American history. I have extensive experience in writing through my schooling and in my work experience in journalism, which required a high degree of literacy.

Teaching is such a rewarding experience. It is an amazing feeling when you help a student learn something that they previously had been struggling with. My goal is to help the student by becoming interested in the material. If the student is interested in the material, they will have a better chance of learning it. I hope I can have the opportunity to make a difference in many students lives. I have an Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor degree in Mathematics Education. I was a math tutor and math teaching assistant at Daemen College. I completed two student teaching placements in mathematics classrooms during my education. I also completed a volunteer experience at Seneca Babcock Preschool where I aided the teacher in helping the children learn colors and numbers. When I was a senior in high school, I taught Spanish to 2nd graders for a semester long project.

Having a brother with a disability has given me the patience and the compassion for all students. I have worked at the Stanley G. Falk School for three years, including teaching during this time. I currently teach fifth grade at a satelite location in Buffalo Public School #27. I have worked with different types of students, including those with both behavioral and emotional disabilities. My strong work ethic and outlook is an excellent attribute to bring to any environment. I started tutoring for the Lancaster Youth Bureau this year, and have really enjoyed the experience. In teaching special education, I have learned that children can be successful when given the proper environment to learn in. Providing a consistent, structured environment allows students to develop successful patterns. I believe that students need to develop the tools and strategies to be successful in all ph
