My comments on tutoring Life Science : Another general topic, I have certification in General Science, which in 7th & 8th grades is often called "Life Science."

My style is very flexible. I understand that some students just need to hear another person tell them the information, while other students require an in-depth discovery of each concept. I can provide both and anything in between to match you or your child's individual learning needs. I am versed in the Cornell Method of note taking, and have many other "tips & tricks" that will place you or your child on the track to success in science.

I believe that all children are capable of learning, but many experience barriers that inhibit the learning process. My strategy is to identify these barriers, remove them whenever possible, or otherwise embrace them and work within the circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome. My background in counseling and psychology has proven invaluable in the classroom and in collaborating with parents and educators. I am looking into the process of becoming a certified teacher, and will strive to make a difference in your child's life, helping them become more successful and enthusiastic learners.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a classroom teacher, I focused on individualizing student instruction through the application of multiple intelligences in lessons and activities, implementing a differentiated curriculum, and individualizing student assessment by adhering to authentic assessment techniques; evaluating students through a combination of summative and formative measures as well as performance based learning tasks.

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach to teaching relies heavily on the use of modeling. Modeling is a powerful tool in the development of not only writing and language skills, but also in exposing my students to a framework which will allow them to hone their own thought processes and work habits. Incorporating a wide variety of vocabulary-building activities into daily lessons strengthens my students' understanding of the subject area and provides a familiarity with language that will aid them in the ability to express themselves in a much more effective manner.
My teaching experience includes a wide variety of situations. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with children in grades kindergarten, one, two, three and four in a number of educational models, including multi-age groupings, departmentalized models and the traditional classroom. In addition to my work with younger stude ... read more

I have my NYS Initial Teaching Certification in both Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education.

I enjoy teaching individuals as well as small groups, understanding each person has specific needs and study habits. My goal is to help you and your child find a study method that works and leads to an understanding of a subject. I strive to get to know you and your child and make a subject easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas and concepts to 'everyday terms'. I attempt to make a positive impact, offer encouragement and help in any way possible.
While earning my degree in earth and atmospheric science I was a tutor to underclassmen at my university in the subjects of earth science and geography.

I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance. I have adopted many evidence-based practices with respect to effective teaching. I have strong organizational skills. I believe that in establishing consistent guidelines at the outset and stating the importance of every activity, I will demonstrate to my students respect for their presence and time. It is my objective that each student will learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing enviro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After graduating from Baruch College, I worked in the inner-city Catholic School of Brooklyn. I taught 8th Grade English and had great success turning non-writers into eager learners. I was also the Math coordinator for grades 5-8. I have tutored college entrants having difficulty with essay writing. Most recently, I taught 5th Grade in a local charter school. The successful preparation of students to communicate via written skills has been a component of all my teaching experiences.
My style of teaching is predicated on the knowledge that each child is an individual learner. Identification of students needs makes teaching more interesting to both teacher and learner. I also like to have the child discover the importance of an education. Answer the need to know what's in it for me? Motivation!!!! After finding the motivator the rest is easy. Keep the lesson relative and fresh. I pr ... read more

Included are 15 years teaching Earth Science (NYS Regents) and 16 years teaching Living Environment/Biology (NYS Regents). Reviewing and preparing students for Regents Exams is a special interest area for me.
During my 30 years of teaching, I have developed many activities, demonstrations, discussions, and inquiry learning techniques to help students understand the concepts of science. For the past seven years, I have been tutoring after school. My teaching is visual and hands-on, with demonstrations, diagrams and examples from every-day life. I seek to discuss information with my students rather than lecture to them. I develop individualized programs based on a st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent graduate of SUNY Cobleskill, I have received a strong, practical background in education. I currently hold a BT in Plant Science, an AAS in Environmental Studies and an AA in Liberal Arts and Sciences. I have an extremely strong background in the sciences, and have tutored college level students in introductory courses. In addition to the sciences, I have always been a strong english student and feel competent enough to tutor basic reading skills, and SAT verbal preparation.
Education is my passion, and I plan on obtaining my masters in that subject. My teaching technique incorporates many practical components, that benefit me greatly when attempting to instruct a student who may not learn best from the conventional, theory-based mode of education.

I am blessed that I am not academically extremely intelligent. Otherwise, I could never be sympathetic to the students who struggle processing various concepts. This thought brings me to the scientist Einstein, who says, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." I believe in being persistent, consistent, and have patience and be pationate. Teaching is the most rewarding profession and I hope to continue teaching.
