My comments on tutoring Study Skills : I am NYS certified in Literacy (grades 5-12) and English (grades 7-12), although I have several years of experience with children as young as Kindergarten.

As an educator, I view myself not as a provider of knowledge, but rather as a facilitator. I aim to encourage the critical thinking that will serve students not only in the classroom, but throughout their lives. In my experience, I have become well-versed in student-centered curriculum development programs, including Understanding by Design, which I have employed extensively in my own lesson planning with gratifying results. I have also been trained in, and have been implementing, the new Common Core Standards for over a year. My student teaching and observations in New York City public schools as well as my current tenured position in an inner city school district have provided me with valuable exposure to diverse classroom atmospheres and have allowed me to develop effective classroom management strategies. This range of both academic and practical classroom experience lends a bala ... read more

Study Skills is one of my top subjects!

My teaching style is interactive, many of my former students would characterize it as "coaching". I always empower the student to find their way and to have them become "pros" in the learning process. I do not do the work for them, but I show them how they can make their tasks and finishing them more efficient. I am a firm believer in the philosophy that edication is not preparation for life, it is life itself. Experience is key.
Over 13 years of working with students that were not scholars initially. After learning skills to improve their educational/learning experience, they became more scholarly, and enjoyed learning. This is key. They just need to change their perspective, and learn how to make "learning" enjoyable, like it was in kindergarden.

I am a veteran teacher with 18 years experience in teaching students with disabilities. I have taught in public, private, and youth facilities ages from 5-21. My expertise is in Austism and ADHD learners. I am also a certified art educator so my approach to learning and teaching is "hands on" experiences. I create my own materials designed for the individual learner.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and sharing with a child the thrill and excitement of discovering something new. Children have different learning styles and I make an effort to include visual, spatial, auditory, and tactile experiences in all my lessons. One-on-one instruction will emphasize that child's unique way of learning. I have an extensive personal library of children's books, on a variety of subjects, which are incorporated in my lessons. Learning can, and should be, fun!
A life-long dedication to education has taken me from a GED to a Masters. My classroom experience and skills include creating teaching materials, developing and implementing lesson plans, assessing students and devising individual education plans, formulating individual behavior management plans, planning and conducting parent meetings, planning, coordinating and supervising activities of classroom assistants, and creat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My undergraduate degree is in Civil Engineering and I have recently become eligible to teach elementary education, middle school science and middle school math in New Jersey. I have had success as a tutor on several occasions as an undergraduate teaching assistant and a peer tutor. Currently, I am assisting two students in high school math and they are both responding well.
A tutor has a unique opportunity to quickly learn the teaching styles required for the individual student. This is best accomplished by listening carefully to the student to establish where the roadblocks to learning are occurring. Ultimately, the student and tutor need to function as a team with a single objective. I feel that I have a passion for learning and that passion is felt by each of my students. If I can get each student to admit that "Math isn't so bad after all" then learning will follow na ... read more

Every person has the ability to learn! I have found the key is to establish a rapport with each student, and then find the method that works best for them. Some students learn better by hearing the concept. It is helpful for them to first have a conversation about what the subject matter is, and how it is used, and then proceed to the actual lessons. Other students excel when they see the concept first, and learn best through visual aids. The important step is finding what works for each child/student in order to make learning attainable, and enjoyable, and, most importantly, impart confidence.
I have always placed a high value on education, and, having worked full time to put myself through college, have developed an even greater appreciation for students who have the desire to learn. During my undergraduate career, and upon the recommendation of several of my professors, I develo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I'm Alfred University Graduate student in Literacy Education, graduating in May, 2010. I attended AU for my undergrad work in Elementary education. During my time here I was able to do my student teaching, which were the best learning experiences I've had. During the summer of 2009, I tutored a young girl in ELA, to help with her speech and language impairment, which was very hands-on and a pleasure learning about her. With my graduate work I am with a literacy specialist to gain more knowledge in that area. I also get to work 1/1 with a young individual who is in third grade, with a Pre-K reading level. With all of these experiences I have gained more knowledge within education, and I hope to teach and inspire young individuals.
When I am teaching my students, I am someone who has passion in all of the work that I do. I've always wanted to be a teacher and I want to make a positiv ... read more

I am committed to the individual success of each student. Also, I am easy going, patient, and sincerely enjoy working with children. I can honestly say I love my job! I provide my students many opportunities to grow as learners and individuals, teaching both the curriculum and life skills. I use many different learning approaches, such as kinesthetic, visual, and auditory, in order to make lessons interesting and interactive. I especially enjoy the integration of technology in the classroom because not only is it fun for the students, but it is a rapidly growing necessity in our ever-changing world.
I love teaching and currently am employed as a 7th grade Language Arts teacher. I have earned two bachelor degrees: a BS in Elementary Education and a BS in Spanish. Although I have taught Spanish K-8, I am not presently certified but am more than able to tutor in this subject. ... read more

I believe as an educator you have to understand the topic you are teaching and the students your are teaching. As a teacher you are dealing with various levels of learning as well different personalities. I believe you have to be open to what works for the individual and the classroom. Many young students do not understand why they must learn and why it is important. We as educators must show students how education applies to all life, especially theirs. Passion and drive can be all the difference for a childs success. Therefore inspiration is vital and we must provide it to the best of our abilities.
Working with students and education has been a part of my life for about 11 years. I first began doing so in high school, around 1999 working as a volunteer with the YMCA. Eventually I became a counselor and would work my way up to Camp Director. I am proud to say that I am t ... read more

In addition to 3 years of experience working in a pre-school, I also have tutoring experience with people of all ages in various subjects. In 2003, I earned Bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Psychology. In 2006, I earned my Master's degree in Business Administration. I wrote and defended a 50+ page thesis to complete this program. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. I have excellent writing, grammar, spelling and proofreading skills.
I have worked with many different types of children and adults. I've found that each person responds differently to different styles of teaching and I am able to adapt to each individual's needs. My first objective is finding what teaching style a person responds to best to and formulating a plan for them next. The parts of my teaching style that remain constant are encouraging independent study, being direct, and pushing each ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a "late in life" graduate of Fordham University, I received permanent Teaching Certification and continued to teach in a public school district for 5 years. I was then offered an amazing opportunity to bring a non-profit pre-school and daycare back to fruition which I accomplished in under a year. Having left the pre-school after an ownership change, I have found myself desiring to go back to my real passion - teaching. I also have over 20 years of Business and marketing experience working as a Communications and marketing Director in Mid-town Manhattan.
I am an energetic, enthusiastic teacher who loves to teach children and adults of all ages. I enjoy challenging my students with fun projects and activities that get creative juices flowing and make learning fun!
