Computer Programming Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Rochester, NY

Given my knowledge of mathematics, I love teaching it and working with students, so they too can be experts and appreciate its value in their future endeavors. I am able to work with students at a pace that fits their needs. I understand that not all students learn at the same level, and so creating an appropriately stimulating environment for utmost grasping or concentration is very critical to success in teaching mathematics. Not only am I open-minded to other options that help impact the mathematics concepts but I am also patient, and considerate of each student’s level of mathematics with respect to a given topic. I give examples that help students discover and find it even more interesting to learn mathematics. My goal is to give each and every student I am assigned the guarantee that at the end of the tutoring period, they actually succeed in mathematics. As a Financial Analyst a

Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack. I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students.

I have 20 years of Finance, Information Systems and Engineering experience. As a person that put himself through college, both undergrad and grad school and then taught at a local Community College, I bring a unique perspective on the value that education can bring to a person's life. From an industry perspective, I have both developed and trained employees and received training prepared by other employees. I prefer a one on one or a classroom style envionment. One on one training allows me to focus on the student and understand the areas that he or she may be having difficulty with which allows me to tailor my curriculum to the student's needs. I believe in hands on work by the student such that he or she can demonstrate back to me that the concepts have been understood.

Students in my care have always felt safe, respected and been given every opportunity to succeed. My ability to connect with a wide range of students, with an understanding that no two students learn exactly the same way, has served them well. I maintain a tight teaching track but also insist on providing a fun and engaging learning environment. Since 2005, I have taught in a variety of settings and in different capacities, including three academic years in a program supporting role in the Monroe 1 BOCES programs, and two years as a fully certified substitute teacher for a number of local public school districts. Furthermore, I am a researcher and writer of all matters educational, maintaining different web logs that are widely viewed. My NYS certification is elementary-focused but I have extensive experience working with secondary-level students in assorted subjects

As an individual involved in advanced development activities at Eastman Kodak, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of science into product development and I also had the opportunity to train other individuals in the workings of a new product as that product became commercialized and a large staff of engineers and technicians were needed for the product's manufacture. These experiences gave me extensive experience working with people of diverse backgrounds and much experience developing technical documentation. I suggesfully bridged language barriers several times during these activities. I am an electrical engineer with a strong background in physics, computer science, and discrete mathematics. I previously have tutored students in college physics in areas of mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. I have have applied the principles of physics to many engineering

I really enjoy working with students and find a great deal of joy in teaching. I believe that all students have the capability of understanding any problem as long as enough practice and perseverance is involved. I am patient, composed, and understanding enough to help any student find their way through a problem, and am certain to let the student truly understand it before I consider the problem completed. Ultimately when I teach/tutor, my goal is to help students strive to reach their full potential, while encouraging them to actually enjoy learning. Through teaching, I aim to foster a feeling of achievement in my students that they can hopefully carry with them through the rest of their lives. As a double major in Mathematics (BA) and Computer Science (BA), I found myself facing many difficult problems in my four years at SUNY Geneseo. In such rigorous programs, both BA's helped me de

I spend a lot of time (as much as needed) to make a student grasp concepts. Once concepts are well understood, it becomes easy to solve problems. For this reason, the rate of progress depends on the student's interest and dedication to study. I assume that if a student is willing to pay for tutoring, the incentive to learn will not be lacking. The student's competence improves when the student solves a variety of problems. My objective is to help the student solve problems with minimal assistance, so that the student will excel in school. I have over 35 years industrial experience. These include Exxon Production Research, Houston (5 years) Scott Papepr Co, Philadelphia (2 years) Xerox Corp, Webster, NY (24 years).

My education comes from both a local teaching-oriented college and a nationally ranked research university. I have taught in settings ranging from one-on-one tutoring to lecturing a class of over 200 students. Recently I was involved in generating on-line content for a textbook publisher. Most of my career has been in industry starting with co-op employment while earning my undergraduate degree and continuing after post-doctoral training. This broad prospective has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in today’s fast paced environment. I believe learning is a two-way process. It needs to start with a student who has a true desire to learn and then, of course, the teacher needs to have a true desire to bring about the learning. A successful combination will result in mastering of concepts and development of skills as opposed to simply reciting facts. I believe studen

During my time at the Rochester Institute of Technology, I was a student grader while working towards my B.S. in Computational Mathematics. I obtained my degree with Highest Honors, and an overall GPA of 3.88. I graded mostly college algebra and early calculus. I was required to do the same homework and quizzes the students did, and create answer keys. Then, I would go through each problem and either give full credit for a correct answer and work, or partial credit if needed. By following their work, I was able to see where they made mistakes, and write in notes on what they needed to do. I will be returning to RIT for a second bachelor’s degree, in Industrial Engineering, which also requires a strong math background. As a tutor, I will examine the student’s work process and correct them where they start to go wrong. One of the reasons I did so well in school was because I always

I have had the unique opportunity through my diverse educational experiences to work with many different types of people. My initial degree is in Social science from Alfred State University. Throughout my education at Alfred State University I truly believe I began to understand and appreciate others and their differences. I received my second degree from Cortland State University in Early Childhood Education with Inclusion. I had the opportunity to work with many different types of children. I also had many diverse experiences while teaching first grade in Florida. In addition to teaching first grade I was also lucky to be able to tutor children from disadvantaged communities and help them thrive in school. I am looking to forward to teaching and would like display my skills. I am a very energetic person with the ability to take control of a classroom while producing winning results.

Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I can become a better teacher only by continually challenging myself and my students. The key phrase “engaging students” seems less than what is required in the classroom. I want my students to be engaged but I want them to encompass and enjoy what they are doing as well. I love technology and new method topics; I have a very strong math and science background as well as excellent written and verbal presentation skills. I was a hands on learner and often use hands on methods to teach when possible. I have taught every level from kindergarten to college level and feel comfortable doing so. I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several

It is my goal that the efforts of students produce more then just good grades. I assess their needs, the way they think, and what ends they may apply what they’re learning so that I may adapt my teaching style. In this way, I can help students engage in the material in such a way that the knowledge that they receive is important and applicable to their lives now or beyond high school. To this end, I have, in the past, used teaching methods designed for different types of intelligences, examples of relevant modern applications, historical examples and stories, and designed new methods for teaching students who do not respond to practiced methods. Having graduated from a Masters in the Arts of Teaching (Adolescent Science - Physics) program in the summer of 2009, I am not only well versed in the structure of New York State Regents Exams but am also up to date with many modern teaching a
