A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have no formal teaching experience, I do have been developing my teaching style for many years while I worked with the developmentally disabled. I learned to identify a teachable moment, which is a time at which the student would be most receptive to learning. As a tutor, I would create those moments and boost confidence by encouraging the student to explore the subject in the way that is most interesting to them. When a child or student asks a question, I will guide them through a thought process so they can come up with the answer themselves.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in journalism from Oswego State University. While in school I studied psychology and child development as well as great works of literature. I have always had a knack for grammar and spelling and I enjoy proofreading documents and helping others to develop their ideas. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I consider myself, and I believe most others consider me to be a people person, who works well with all people. Working with children is a passion of mine. I am a very patient individual, and am willing to try many things to make you child have success academically. I believe it is important to teach in a manner in which things are not remembered, not learned.
I hold a BS in Biology from the University at Albany. I also have a profound love for mathematics and have tutored numerous students in calculus I and II while in college. Going along with my love for mathematics I enjoy the study of physics and tutored two students in both physics I and II while in college. I believe my experiences in college have prepared me to be a good tutor in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and writing of research papers or laboratory reports. Furthermore, while in college I also did a year of ... read more

I received my Bachelor's degree in 1989 and worked as an assistant engineer in Binghamton NY until I started my masters program at SUNY Cortland. I have held Physics, Earth science, Chemistry and Biology appointments in the years that followed in a variety of School districts throughout the state. I have spent five years tutoring and 17 teaching, including 12 years of summer school. The best thing about teaching and tutoring science is that it easily transfers to all of the other disciplines. My experiences and my insatiable appetite for learning have enabled me to make significant connections across the disciplines and to keep on learning!
I have always wanted students to really know the material being covered. This has meant keeping their interest through jovial yet concentrated lesson planning. I have always strived to make my students feel comfortable and to take on the resp ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Children are a joy to work with and any opportunity I have to impact a child's life through the world of education is a privilege. I am a recent graduate of a bachelor's degree program in both Special and Elementary Education. I have done student teaching in both areas and enjoy working one on one with students immensely. I have worked in a camp setting as a counselor, I have tutored elementary students in reading and phonics, as well as worked one on one with special needs students. Math is my strong subject and I enjoy teaching that along with reading and phonics. I also specialized in English and have gained a strong understanding of grammatical struture and usage in writing.
As I teach, I love to find a child's strength and then expound upon that strength to aid their weaknesses. There are always new things to learn and I love being able to open up that learning world for a ch ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping students of all ages learn. Education lays the groundwork for every goal that one aspires to in life. I love the English language and words. I feel that it is important for every student to come away with at least a basic understanding of how to write and speak. It will only help later in life. I love science because I have always asked 'how things work'. I am patient and enthusiastic. My energy and love of knowledge is contagious. I do not have a specific way of teaching, I adapt methods based on how the students learn best. I see potential in everyone. I have yet to meet a person that excelled at nothing. I want to make an imprint on my students that they will carry with them their entire lives.
While attending a small private university in upstate New York, I pursued a degree in Chemistry with a minor in English. I excel in all parts of the scientific discipline, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better help my peers, as well as having volunteer positions tutoring in math and english.
I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the r ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way street. I am dedicated, patient, and caring as a teacher, and I believe that with a good learning environment and a teacher committed to her students, every student can achieve academic success. Because every student has unique experiences both in and out of the classroom, whenever possible, I build upon those experiences. I do not believe that educators hold the “key to knowledge”; rather, I believe that students hold this key, and it is the educator’s job to help students discover it within themselves.
Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked as a pre-school teacher for two years in Syracuse, NY, where I was motivated to enter into the field of education on a permanent basis. I went back to school to attain my masters degree in education in 2008, and finished student teaching in December of 2009. I am accustomed to teaching children from various backgrounds, and learning styles. I am eager to initiate a career in education and serve the students in the greater Cortland county area.
I love teaching, working, and playing with children. I believe that children learn most effectively from using both a hands and minds-on learning/teaching style. As all children come from differing/diverse backgrounds, I utilize communication with both the students and parents in order to effectively teach said child. I believe that all children have the potential for growth and success in the classroom and beyond, if they ... read more

I have extensive experience working with students of all ages. Most specifically, I have worked with underprepared college level students developing skills such as time management, study skills and basic survival techniques. Most recently I took the Oxford Seminars Certification course to teach and tutor English as a second language to students of all ages. Currently, I am tutoring English and Reading at the primary school level. Furthermore, I have experience teaching in the classroom, developing lesson plans, assessing student’s development and developing lesson plans.
My teaching style is based on the individual student. Much of my enjoyment of tutoring comes from the opportunity to work with students creatively and develop them through their own unique learning styles. I enjoy working both with children and young adults, and truly find joy in witnessing progress in stude ... read more

I believe that one key to successfully helping children of all ages to learn, is a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Since every child learns differently, I always adapt my style of teaching a particular subject to best fit the needs of each individual. I have found that incorporating every day examples and scenarios into the concepts that a student is learning, can help them better understand the subject matter, and the application of these concepts. As an educator, I am flexible and rely on numerous resources to help demonstrate topics. I have a very approachable and patient demeanor, and a sincere passion for assisting each student I work with to understand what they are studying and allowing them realize what they are capable of.
After graduating from high school as valedictorian, I earned a Zoology BS and a Studio Art BA from SUNY Oswego, successfully completing English ... read more

MY teaching style is to work with those who need my help. I believe that anyone can be taught and that sometimes it is just a question of developing thier self esteem to believe in themselves. I have worked with many students who had thought they did not understand the material the truth is that they undertood and had a mastery of it they just did not have the self esteem to believe in themselves

A Little Bit About Me...

During this past school year I was a practicum student in a second and third grade self contained 15-1 classroom. This placement gave me the opportunity to teach math, science, and reading to students with learning disabilities and various instructional needs. During student teaching I taught in a fifth grade regular education classroom as well as in a learning workshop. My experience in the fifth grade helped me to hone my teaching style as well as explore behavior management techniques. The learning workshop allowed me to conduct a variety of push-in and pull-out programs with third, fourth, and fifth graders as well as providing 1-0n-1 reading support for a non-verbal student with cerebral palsy.
I have a passion for teaching children at various educational levels. I believe that it is important for teachers to create a positive learning environment. That is why I strive t ... read more

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 volunteer when they do not know or understand something, and to ask questions whenever they need to. In addition I understand that all students learn differently and I enjoy discovering and providing different styles for my students. One of the most rewarding things for me on a personal level is to assist youngsters or students in achieving goals they may have previously perceived as impossible. I feel this way at all levels, whether I am assisting dedicated students or students that are searching for their inspiration.
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 ... read more
