Central New York and Northern PA Professional Tutor

I am a professional writer who has published nearly 1,000 Internet articles. I hold a degree in English and my specialty is Literature. I am well versed in Shakespeare. I am best at creative writing, creating essays, studying Shakespeare, understanding spelling, and helping students understand proper sentence placement.
I believe in a student led teaching style. The student will find the answers on their own with my guidance. I will assist struggling students but I will ask them to solve the problem before I volunteer the answers.

I have tutored grades k-4 in Math, reading and english for the past six years in an after school program. I have studied child development to help me relate to elementary students. My experience in writing for a newspaer has improved grammatical skills.This endeavor has given me an eye for correctness and detail to insist on with my students.
My educational background in psychology and early childhood education has given me the insight to allow student to figure out things themselves with a little prompting. My most successful tutoring has been in explaining things the way a student might relate to his own experience. Allowing time for listening gives me clues to what that experience might be.

More About This Tutor...

I believe students should be treated with respect - just like real people! I believe all students can succeed when given a solid foundation of information and guidance and encouragement. I feel the most damaging thing a teacher can do to a student is to make them feel inferior or "stupid", so I correct gently and offer clear criticism and help the student backtrack to see where they need help understanding or practicing something. I feel critical thinking skills are the most important skill anyone can have, and learning to write clearly to express those critical thoughts in an articulate manner gives people a powerful mode of communicating with others and making their ideas known and heard.
As an adjunct English professor, I have taught basic college composition and various literature courses for a decade. I have worked closely with students to help them improve their writing on t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and working with all age groups. I am patient and easy going. I believe all children can learn, but each does so differently. My goal is to find the best way for each individual. This often entails different approaches at times. I provide mainly a constructivist and sometimes "expert" (focus on facts) approach to learning. However, I have found that a variety of styles may be needed to help a student learn. I believe in using a variety of learning materials to help reach students: such as audio, visual or other technology available that may help them be successful. If students have the appropriate atmosphere and materials they need, I believe they will be successful.
I've always highly valued education. As a former teacher, my quest to achieve high levels of excellence in education continued. For the past nine years, I've taught several levels of science c ... 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

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

My passion is teaching. I enjoy and love sharing my knowledge with the youth. I am willing to help and spend time with your child to obtain his goal for academic excellence and success. As a teacher, I am kind, patient, timely conscious, flexible and considerate. I strongly believe that learning can be achieved in the class by a student if the teacher's teaching strategy meets his or her interests and needs. I use psychological approach to know my student's personal and social background to teach him or her efficiently and effectively. Teacher has been responsible for the learner's educational growth.
Education and educating oneself is incessant. As an individual and as a human being, he or she must not stop learning. This concept had driven me to obtain two degrees--- Bachelor's of Arts in English and Master's of Arts in English which enabled me to obtain more understanding the ... read more

It is very important to let children know that there is no wrong or right way of doing their work, as long as it is done correctly. They also need to know that their methods are their own. Children needs reassurance. When A childs' work is not done to one's full potential, it is not my strategy to make them feel like less of a child. It is however, my strategy to work with that child until he/she understands WHY the work was not done correctly, and then let him/her correct the work themself. This in my opinion, lets a child know that we believe in him/her. That is the most important lesson a child can learn. That they are their own person and that they all have the potential to achieve the goals set for them.
My most recent experience was as apreschool teacher. Despite the fact that the children were all the same age, whatever developmental or cognitive delays a child might ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a great passion when it comes to working with children and helping them to overcome any educational hurdles and achieve academic success. Through my experience I've learned that when it comes to having a teaching style every child is different, but can be reached through time, dedication and understanding. I've learned that hands on learning is very effective and being able to relate a topic into something the child likes or understands is also an adequate way to help in the process of comprehension. I strive to help my students achieve self confidence in their work and to reach their goals.
In 2006 I was at my final step of reaching my BA in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English with only having left to complete my student teaching, but was taken by another opportunity. I moved to Japan and teach ESL and ESOL for almost 3 complete years. I taught from all ages tw ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My love of mathematics began while I was in elementary school--I looked forward to those classes and took as many as I could from my high school, Wyoming Area. I had, at one point in middle school, helped to tutor some students in one of my classes. While in college at Susquehanna University, I had the priveledge of tutoring pre-calculus to local Selinsgrove High School students. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for math with others. I believe anyone can comprehend math if given the right tools--learning math is like building a pyramid, you need the base to get to the top, and that is what I try to do, help these students grasp a solid base understanding of the topic. While at Susquehanna, I also participated in study groups to help other students in my classes.
I try to tailor my style to the student. Each student I had tutored when I was in colleg ... read more

I completed my bachelor degree in English in three and a half years at Bucknell University, and this has trained me in writing, literary analysis, and oral communication. While at Bucknell, I spent four months tutoring children at a local elementary school in grades 3-5 in math, science, and reading. I, also, completed Bucknell’s Writing Center four month training course for tutoring in all types of writing. I spent a full year tutoring peers, underclassmen, and even graduate students in their writing process. Finally, for the last three years, I have taught techniques of interpreting the Bible to college and high school students at my local church in both group and one-on-one settings.
I have a passion for teaching people things that I love to do. I love to write, to analyze literature, and to solve problems. I bring energy and patience to the learning experience, and I am able to ... read more

I am very passionate and knowledgeable about the field of English. In my opinion, writing well and reading critically comprise the foundation of educational success. Both my BA and MA degrees are in English. I also hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Education with a specialization in College Teaching. This certificate provided me with both knowledge about the best methods for educating college students and practice utilizing these methods as a Teaching Assistant. Beyond formal schooling, I was employed as a high school Language Arts Intern and worked as a college English Intern who provided help and instruction regarding writing skills. Currently, I am a certified Adult Literacy Tutor; I tutor my student weekly.
My teaching style has two main tenets. First, I believe that students should be the focus of instruction. I facilitate learning best when I discover how students p ... read more
