More About This Tutor...

I was a professor at Ithaca College for 34 years in the music department. In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies. I also had many experiences helping students through difficult academic and personal issues. As a private teacher meeting individually with a student for an hour each week, I became the main academic and personal adviser for them. I found all of these contacts to be valuable and personally very rewarding. My students were very successful in the academic world and the performance world and maintained contact with me for years after graduation. I have nothing but fond m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support. I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal.
My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary ed ... read more

I love to work with children and excel at discovering what works best with each child. I have the ability to connect with children and make them feel at ease. This sets the stage for easier learning and less frustration. I not only make the students comfortable but their parents as well. Oftentimes, someone who is not related can teach easier than someone close to the family
As a mother of three children as well as a graduate of the New York State University school system, I am an avid reader and a natural proof reader. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and have attended classes in Elementary Education toward a Master's Degree. In addition, I have learned extensive patience working with children, my own included, and those children i have helped tutor privately. I also took Spanish for five years with honors and in addition i took Italian in college and ha ... read more

A self written curriculum designed includes strong phonics, vocabulary, reading and grammar. 2 years experience as a tutor for the AZ Dept. of Ed. for Math and Language Arts for 8-12th .

More About This Tutor...

As a lifelong student of the humanities and English, I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and helping others. As a result, whenever and wherever I have been, whether in academia, work environments, or with friends and family, I have sought to apply what I know by teaching. I have many years of experience teaching others, especially in the areas of English (extremely talented writer), history (specializing in world history and the history of empires), social science (with a focus on psychology and sociology) and philosophy. I find no greater thrill in life than when, as a result of my teaching and assistance, the light comes on over the student's head. Beyond pay and self-achievement, this is the true joy for any teacher.
One of the advantages of my background is the variety of people I have worked with. Regardless of different cultures, races, socioeconomic back ... read more

I think that my teaching experience speaks for itself.. I'm capable of working with all ages.. preferring teenagers because I like bigger challenges. I'm patient,easy going o one hand but firm with homework\tasks on the other hand.I'm a great believer in leading the student to the answer rather than telling it. I believe that the fact that I'm the founder of a tutoring company in Israel gave me the ability to criticize&improve my work more effectively.
Hi, I'm Kobi.I have 7 full years of educating behind me.I was teaching classes and groups during my B.A studies for annual projects and for a private - tutoring company like yours. Since 2008 I own "highway" a private tutoring company in Israel- now ran by a partner. I have tutored mostly Maths and English but I'm capable of teaching any other subjects for low graders.Of course, Hebrew can always come into consideration- it's m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.
I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have rec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for education. Coming from a large family, I was always helping my younger siblings with their homework and teaching "school" in my mom's study on the weekends. I attended the rigorous International Baccalaureate program at my high school and moved away from home to attend a prestigious liberal arts college. After graduating from Smith College in May I moved to Boston to work at a public charter high school where I worked with a large and diverse student population. I taught a reading class and a Spanish class, coached the co-ed soccer team, and tutored students in several classes, including AP courses. I was also an Americorps service member and tutored elementary school students at two separate public schools.
I love working with children because I believe that every child has the ability to learn. I understand that each child learns in a unique way an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Before I became a teacher in Philadelphia, I tutored in a private tutoring agency in Florida (where I was working on my undergraduate degree). That was my first experience with tutoring and I loved it. I liked being able to give individual attention to a student after he or she had spent all day in the classroom. I especially liked seeing a student's confidence increase after we worked together. For the last ten years, I was a classroom teacher for high school math in Philadelphia. During that time, I continued to find tutoring work – either through an agency or through private clients. Whether in the classroom or in a one-on-one session, I love to teach students.
It is easy to talk at a student about how to do a problem. But experience has shown me that this rarely works. Initially, it is important that I learn as much as I can about how the student is doing with the topic involve ... read more

I would be happy to assist students with any courses necessary, as I am confident I can help them learn. I possess strong interpersonal skills which would allow the student to feel very comfortable learning with me. I would like to make the learning experience as fun as possible by using worksheets, visual aids, and any other activities that would assist in the student learning their material.
As an undergraduate, I spent nearly three years assisting groups of students with how to learn content for the historically difficult courses of College Chemistry I and II. I have my BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology, which permitted me to learn and acquire a great understanding in multiple areas. These areas include biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, algebra, statistics, and beginning and intermediate levels of Spanish . In February 2011, I will be finished my MBA in Healthcare Managem ... read more

For the past five years I have provided personal tutoring to both the Ithaca Community and the Ithaca College Community. I have also spent the past three years working and volunteering at the Ithaca Youth Bureau with children of various ages in both a tutoring and non-tutoring. As a recent graduate from Ithaca College with a BA in Biology and concentrations in Mathematics and Anthropology, I feel highly qualified and enthusiastic to assist your student. While math and biology were my most prominent subjects in college, I also enjoyed and excelled at writing for both the sciences and the humanities. With a diverse set of skills, I am eager to work with your student.
My teaching style is sensitive, enthusiastic, and patient. In both tutoring and non-tutoring settings I believe it is imperative that students feel comfortable. It is always my goal that students feel able to volun ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life!
I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 different content areas such as Special Education 7th grade Science in a Push-In model, ESOL, Home and Careers, Career and Financial Management as well as substitute teaching in many areas K-12, in addition to teaching technology in multiple districts. My background as a manufacturing engineer gives me a vantage point of what is required in the real world for success and survival in the working world. Even though teaching is my second career, it is truly what I love to do. Working one to one with students to help them find success in school, while enjoying learning, is my personal goal.
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 tha ... read more
