I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor. For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005.

My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices. As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, incl

I enjoy tutoring immensely and look forward to beginning again. I like the challenge of engaging and reaching different types of learners. I use my social works skills in tutoring and vice versa. I think these two fields are closely related in the sense that I seek to empower my students as I would my clients.

Languages are my passion. I learned to speak Spanish while studying in Spain prior to enrolling in college. Studying abroad was an education in and of itself, which enabled me to acquire valuable language and literature skills while sharpening my understanding of multiculturalism. Earning a BA in Spanish and a minor in Education, established a foundation to teach and tutor. I have taught Spanish at the secondary level for five years and have tutored for the last year and a half. A large part of my teaching and tutoring has been geared towards developing communicative skills while preparing students for both the Regents and Proficiency exams. In addition to my background in Spanish, I have completed a course of study to teach ESL to adults. Learning should be meaningful, enjoyable and lasting. Establishing a solid student-to-teacher rapport is an essential ingredient in the learning pro

I have four and a half years of tutoring/mentoring experience, three of which were at the Warren Wilson College Writing Center. I helped ESL students with their composition and grammar skills, and worked with others to find strategies to approach their writing with less stress and more confidence. I moved to S.Korea shortly after my college graduation,and privately tutored students who were studying ESL. I designed the curriculum that supplemented their studies.My experiences working with children also include mentoring at-risk youth. Whether a student is studying for their SATs, or working on their grammar and writing skills, I have the tools and experience it takes to help them succeed. Tutoring is something I passionately enjoy, as it allows me to tailor my creativity towards each student's needs.

The key to a good teaching style is creativity and adaptability. It is the job of the teacher to adjust his teaching style to fit the needs of the student. Some students respond well to visual cues; such as drawings in the case of teaching English as a Second Language. Others will respond to verbal instruction and still others will respond best to written instruction. The key is to determine what style best suits the student. Observation and questions are the best way to find out which approach works best. As a Boy Scout I worked to help my fellow Scouts advance through the ranks and learn the skills that would help them become better Scouts and better young men. As an ESL teacher in both Germany and Spain I worked with a wide variety of students; from German civil engineers to Spanish middle schoolers. I also taught subjects such as Civics and Art through the medium of English. As a

I have worked with students of different age groups as well as different ability levels. I am fair, knowledgeable and determined to make sure that the child can achieve his/her full potential. I believe that every student can learn. It is very important for every child to find a good teacher in order to make educated and informed decisions in the future. I believe that I have helped many students in my teaching career and I would like to continue to do the same. I decided to go into teaching while I was working at Birch Childhood Center as a full time teacher assistant with children with special needs ages 0-5 years old.

I am a former assistant principal who has thousands of hours of classroom teaching experience as well as thousands of hours of private tutoring experience. I have tutored countless students privately after school and have also pulled countless students out of classes in school for private sessions. I graduated Queens College with honors with a 4.0 GPA. My coursework included 21 credits in mathematics 34 credits in Computer Science and 21 credits in the sciences. I believe in teaching the student how to learn on their own, rather than just telling them the answers. It is my ultimate goal to make every one of my students feel confident that they can learn anything that their teacher will cover.It is my job to make myself unnecessary as quickly as possible, so that the student is ready to continue on their own without my services.

I love imparting knowledge and observing a lot of "aha" moments when a person understands the material. I would describe my teaching style as engaging, relaxed but focused on learning the pertinent material. I present to the pupil/student 2-3 different approaches to a problem and have them pick one approach he/she is most comfortable with. As a recent graduate of a rigorous medical school program, I have been able to succinctly summarize and whittle down an extraordinary amount of information into actionable parts. As a result of my experience, I am able to teach friends, college and medical school colleagues need-to-know knowledge(English,biochemistry,physics, statistics, mathematics) in an time-constrained environment.
