More About This Tutor...

Teaching is where I belong. I am passionate as well as creative about teaching young people how to think, learn, develop, and grow. My efforts and skills surpass simply the subject matter and reach to character, learning strategies, becoming successful, and understanding strengths and how to improve weakness. People say that teachers don't make much. On the contrary, I make a big difference in the lives of my students. My approach is realistic. With regards to classroom management, I simply deny the student the opportunity to be disciplined. I look for students doing something right and reward them immediately. I ask my students to get caught doing something right. I teach outside of the status quo box. If they are not learning in traditional formats, then I come to understand how EACH student learns and develop my plans and approach specifically to that student. Tha ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I knew I wanted to become a math teacher when I was in High School, inspired by a great teacher. Through her, I learned how to learn, and how to teach. I graduated top of my class and received high honors throughout college. I have achieved certification in three states and taught in all kinds of schools, to all kinds of kids. I have been successful teaching Advanced Placement and college courses, as well as remedial courses; private school and public. I have been tutoring for the last 10 years. Currently working with home schooled students. I am fluent with the TI-83 graphing calculator and have prepped many kids for standardized tests (Regents, ACT, SAT). I love to help any struggling student achieve understanding.
I am a true constructivist. I believe that students need to construct their own understanding if they are to achieve mastery. When it comes to math, many kid ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

Throughout my academic career, I have worked as a mentor and tutor in the subjects of chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Over the past eight years, I have tutored undergraduate students and taught chemistry laboratories. After receiving a BS and MS in Chemistry, I have worked for a national education foundation as an educator and conducted workshops in chemical modeling for both teachers and students in North Carolina and throughout the country. I also managed our chemistry websites for both educators and freshman chemistry students.
Teaching can be an instantly rewarding experience as one is able to watch the moment of a student's realization of a concept. All students can learn, but the job of an educator is to understand how they learn most effectively and what they want to learn. I believe the integration of technology and computing is essential to increasing the performanc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students. This connection is crucial because I have a what I believe is a traditional teaching style which emphasizes organization and analytical skills through constant and sustained practice. By connecting with my students and treating them as individuals, I foster the sense of responsibility required to follow through and become a successful student in any subject.
As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Ov ... read more
