Over the past year, I have tried to extend my ability to share my love and appreciation of English and literature with others. As an English/Communications major, I am very knowledgable in a variety of subjects including grammar, writing composition and reading comprehension. Last year, as President of the Writers Forum, we spent several months tutoring as part of an after school program where we helped children in Baltimore write.
For writing, usually I conduct some exercises. The level of the critique and what to say depends heavily on the age of the student. For grammar, I would either find or create my own practice materials and we could go over whatever is necessary until I've decided that the student is making improvements or the student has succeeded.

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I enjoy and see the wonder in science and I like to show that to students. If they see a reason to want the knowledge, and see how it can expand their horizons, then they will be more open to learning. A common problem with individuals needing tutoring is that they sometimes do not think they have the "smarts" to learn the subject. My first objective is to show them they have the "stuff" to get it! Then I show them how it can be fun. This needs to be balanced with the practical need to get passing grades and complete the course work. My style is marked with a belief in the student and I encourage them and acknowledge their progress.
I received a technology degree in 1975. Several years later I returned to college to persue a Physics/Mechanical Engineering Degree from SUNY New Paltz and RPI. I was an "A" student in Physics and enjoyed tutoring many classmates. I was a gue ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is professional, friendly, and peer to peer. I like to break things down for students and I encourage them to ask a lot of questions. I try my best to gauge how the student learns and teach them 'tricks' based on their learning style for committing what was taught to memory. Lastly, I try to build confidence in my students- from what I've seen, that's the key to success. I believe that people inherently know how to express themselves and have it in them to grasp complex concepts easily, it is just a matter of a little guidance.
My educational and professional experience are both concentrated on writing. More narrowly, analytical writing and legislative reporting. My experience tutoring on writing goes back to when I was part of a volunteer peer program, tutoring English as a second language students to assist them with mastering the English regents.

The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combined way. So they might use other skills taught before such as note taking, highlighting, all in context. The purpose of the skills are stressed, students are taught not just what to do and how, but also why. The students then reflect on how well they used the skills, what gains they were getting and so on, and then they action plan for improvement.
As a graduate from the State University of New York at Albany, I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in education especially in the following generations. I have received a BA in Chemistry and Pre-Med. Thes ... read more

I entered college as a pre-med student and came out a writer, but since my family insisted all writers lived in garrets, I became a teacher. Later I traveled with first a classical choir and then a rock band, put my editing skills to work for a geopolitical organization and lectured on economics, dialectical materialism, spirituality, and more mundane topics, such as camping and travel. I was a social worker with the State of New York for 15 years and still practice privately. I was an ESL instructor in South America and the US. Currently I teach freshman seminar, Research and Writing and Media and Society at two local colleges, and am working on a book of poetry as well as three novels.
I enjoy watching people's faces light up when they grasp a point. Utilizing everything from movies, games, lecture and discussion, I try to find out where my student can plug into the subject under ... read more

I am a very hands on, activity based teacher. I follow the rule of Explain, Example, Exercise. I make sure to have many different types of learning so that each student can be successful. I want my students to be excited about my class, so I am always changing and molding my activities to stay current. I have a classroom that is full of colors, and ideas. I try to get my students to have a higher level of thinking, and help them along with inquisitive questions, and opened ended statements.
I have a BFA in Graphic Design and a MS in applied technology education. I am also currently pursuing my administration certification. I have been an adjunct professor at a local 2 year college, and I have been teaching 7-12 grade since 2006.

I graduated Cum Laude from Manhattan College with a double major in Psychology and Communications. In addition to studying for two majors, I was also a Division 1 athlete and held 2 jobs. Seeing as I was very busy with extracirricular activities, I believe that my graduating with honors was truly a testament to how hard I worked. Since college, I have worked in two jobs that have really tested my gramatical, reading, editing and speaking skills. I tutored all types of students while in college and can't wait for the opportunity to tutor again. When I commit to a job, I follow through with 110% of my time and energy.
I love being able to teach someone something new. I love learning, but have always been a visual learner, so whether I'm teaching someone how to read, or simply helping them improve their reading skills, I introduce visual aids. I am patient, easy going and a gre ... read more

The Teacher Education Certificate affords me with a well-rounded familiarity with curriculum for all primary grade level and techniques to best understand learning style and peak interest in learning. I critique my teaching techniques to fit the individual, learning from the student what best works for them. I take educational endeavor seriously, knowing games and fun are required to reach children, yet understanding, reading levels and test score are increasingly important for self-esteem and prosperity. My creativity, extensive experience and proven success, show themselves as qualifiers for tutoring positions. I am a committed educator with a strong focus in reading comprehension, written and verbal skills and mathematics.

I spent several years in my last job role developing and implementing a training program on budgeting, cost reporting and government compliance for low-level fiscal staff working on community service providers in New York City; often English competency of these staffers was low. I greatly enjoyed this experience that demonstrated my outstanding ability to teach and relate well with those often not of my same ethnic / cultural background. Throughout my career I have provided instructional guidance to others.
My 20-year career experience includes competencies in all phases of accounting and financial analysis, auditing and risk assessment, and general / entrepreneurial business management. I'm highly competent in developing financial reports, analyses and internal controls from past business leadership and management roles, and have experience using wide range of accounting inform ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to help a student figure out how to learn and approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. Sometimes what a child needs most is to simply understand that he or she is capable of achieving. Instilling self-affirmation is an extremely important part of teaching, and that would be my goal in working with your child.
I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the fi ... read more

I enlisted in the army and had the opportunity to take additional classes outside my area of training in many fields. After the army I enrolled in college and have been a student since. I hold 2 licenses. I have an AS in mortuary science, an AA in General Education, and a BS in Psychology. While achieving my degree in General Education I became a guest speaker at the same college in a business management class for many years,trying to help other students operate their own successful small businesses. After being on the receiving side of the education process for so many years I have been exposed to many different teaching styles.

More About This Tutor...

There is nothing I love more than working with children. I am continually fascinated by how children learn and how they help me to grow as an educator. I consider myself to be very patient and caring. I know that learning is a process and just like any other process, it takes time with the right techniques and practice. I also consider myself to be very diverse with my learning styles. Personally, I learn best by utilizing different approaches to information; listening to information, visually seeing information, manipulating objects. Therefore, I enjoy teaching to fit the individual's needs of grasping the information. Teaching, like learning is multifaceted.
I have been given a solid education at the undergraduate level at The College of Saint Rose where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education. I have my NYS Initial Teaching Certification in both Early Chi ... read more
