More About This Tutor...

I specialized in poetry studying under one of the top T.S. Eliot scholars. As a literature major we studied a wide range of topics from early english to post colonial literature. This has given me a great appreciation of the english language. Having grown up abroad in Amsterdam and Switzerland has also made me enthusiastic about the barrier between conversational and written language.
I am currently working part time as a ski instructor with children. This has taught me to be patient with the development of my students. It is incredibly important to maintain an atmosphere where learning is fun. I am certified by Oxford seminars to teach english as a second language. During the classes we studied general techniques for teaching english, that can be used for native speakers as well. I am a firm believer that there are all different types of learners, and thus teaching styles should a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information.
My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language a ... read more

I appreciate higher education and I truly understand what it takes to teach as I myself teach my own children with their homework from their own schools after they come home. I earned the Barbara Allen W ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning.
Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grad ... read more

Education is invaluable and needs to be made accessible to all students. My goal as a teacher is to create an excellent environment for learning, providing the student an opportunity to excel in his/her studies. My prior teaching experiences have taught me the importance of organization, patience and using varied teaching methods to reach students with different learning strengths. I will provide your child with individual attention, customized session plans, encouragement and positive reinforcement to reach the personalized learning goals that we will set together. My hope is that while learning required material, each student will realize his/her personal abilities, gain confidence and increase his/her appreciation for education.
In the nine years of my graduate and undergraduate education, I have been a teacher, tutor and mentor. As an undergraduate, I was the math and scie ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that the best teachers combine an extensive knowledge of their subject matter with a love of guiding others towards their own discoveries. I think that having patience, and open mind, and a love of learning are qualities that every teacher should possess. In high school, the experiences I had with tutors ended up making the difference between passing and failing in subjects such as math and chemistry, two subjects I was convinced I couldn't succeed in. I love to provide that service to others!I consider it my job as a teacher to guide students in how to be critical thinkers, look at the world objectively, ask questions, and learn how to process their experiences.
During my studies at Stony Brook University, I was able to gain some experience teaching peers as an undergraduate teaching assistant. I studied literature and achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Art History ... read more

More About This Tutor...

People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an overall teaching philosophy. I also tend to be lively. But the bottom line is that we all understand our goals and reach them. When I walk into a classroom or even a solo session, I want to know what the student(s) needs are. I believe in teaching to the goals and then even exceeding them. At the same time, I'm not rigid at all. There are many ways to hit the target. Students come in all shapes, sizes, and moods. As a teacher, I need to accommodate that.
I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been ... read more
