As a Cornell graduate, I have had the opportunity be lectured by academic experts spanning a wide variety of disciplines, and have experienced many different teaching styles. I have worked as a course assistant, grading homeworks and tutoring students, in Calculus I for four semesters. Prior to transferring to Cornell to study Economics, I was a Physics major at Ithaca College, was a dean's list student and also was a member of the Oracle Honor Society. This past summer I worked at a sports camp (Camp Woodward) counseling and instructing children ages 12-16. I have recently taken an interest in English literary theory. I also practice cinematography, video editing, and digital art as passionate hobbies. Education stands atop my own list of the most important plights of mankind. I believe people are at their highest capacity for learning when they are children, and that such open minds s

I really enjoy working with students and find a great deal of joy in teaching. I believe that all students have the capability of understanding any problem as long as enough practice and perseverance is involved. I am patient, composed, and understanding enough to help any student find their way through a problem, and am certain to let the student truly understand it before I consider the problem completed. Ultimately when I teach/tutor, my goal is to help students strive to reach their full potential, while encouraging them to actually enjoy learning. Through teaching, I aim to foster a feeling of achievement in my students that they can hopefully carry with them through the rest of their lives. As a double major in Mathematics (BA) and Computer Science (BA), I found myself facing many difficult problems in my four years at SUNY Geneseo. In such rigorous programs, both BA's helped me de

My student teaching was completed at Rochester City School District School #16 in a general education classroom, and special education at Buckman Heights Elementary School in an integrated co-teaching classroom. My student teaching and other observation hours have given me experience in many urban as well as a suburban school district. I have also had two years experience as a substitute teacher in three different school districts. As an educator, I will bring compassion and energy into my classroom. I would like to have a positive impact on all of my students’ lives and show them that everyone has the ability to learn. I enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow. Each student learns differently therefore I will provide many different learning styles throughout each lesson.

I respect all children and the variety of ways in which they learn. I firmly believe that children (by nature) are curious about learning and therefore, capable of learning when presented with an engaging program of study. My instructional approach often entails the use of games, as a medium to stimulate my students. In addition, I always strive to enhance my students’ self-esteem, because I believe in them and their abilities. My objective as a tutor is to utilize the teaching strategies that I have acquired, in conjunction with my knowledge about your child (his/her interests and learning preferences) to develop a teaching plan that will take him/her to the next level of his/her education. I was fortunate to receive a very distinguished education through a local school of the Arts program and an Ivy League institution. Both experiences produced within me a tenacious commitment to

As a young child I was motivated to become a teacher and set out to do so as I entered my undergraduate institution. I majored in Psychology and was selected to participate in the Elementary Education Program which began my journey as a teacher. I earned my Masters Degree in Elementary Education while pursuing my first teaching job as a long term substitute at the sixth grade level. I received my Elementary Education teaching certification and have since taught at the elementary and early childhood level as a classroom teacher, substitute teacher and tutor at various institutions. I am an enthusiatic and creative educator with a passion for working with children. I have a strong belief in connecting learning to the real world. I encourage children to make connections through their own experiences and interests to help them find purpose and meaning in education of all subject areas.

I provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. It is my goal to be firm but compassionate. Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer but they will also become more confident in their ability. Being devoted to this assertion confirms that I have made the right career choice for myself. I love working with students and will continue to strive to be a positive influence in their lives. I have been an enthusiastic educator for over 8 years. I am currently employed as a high school teacher of regents level earth science and AP environmental s

In my 23 years as a teacher and administrator, I have been involved in all aspects and levels of education including teaching all grades K-12, instructional and curriculum leadership, professional development, building management, community relations, and student management. Throughout these many experiences I have had a great deal of contact working with all types of students from diverse backgrounds and with various learning styles. I have worked with students in urban, suburban, rural, special education, and alternative settings. My greatest strength, and what I believe sets me apart from many other candidates, is a passion for education coupled with a great joy found in positively impacting the lives of ALL students. My underlying belief and philosophy is that all students can learn, and should be allowed to do so in the environment that best suits their own particular learning st

I truly enjoy helping others succeed. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn and the ability to meet their potential given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am available to help your child find academic success. I strive to make a difference in students' lives. As a CPA for the last 10 years, I am very driven to achieve my goals. I was always at the top of my class in college and was called upon by my professors to tutor other accounting students. In addition, I was on Dean's list throughout my entire college career. I've had the opportunity to mentor and teach college students through internship opportunities with various companies. I have also had the pleasure of mentoring the accounting staff in every position I have held.

As a special education teacher, I have learned many strategies to help stuggling learners that I believe would benefit any student. I also believe that every child has the right to succeed and I am dedicated to making sure that happens. I believe in hands-on teaching,and that students learn best by doing. In the area of reading, I believe that it is my duty to foster a love of reading in my students, so that they can become successful. My experience in teaching has come from various settings. I have taught preschool fitness classes and dance classes. I have also substituted in grades 1-6, in reading and special education. I have student teaching experience in inclusive classrooms for 3rd and 6th grade. I have taken classes in language in literacy and worked with many reading programs.

I firmly believe teaching requires structure. In that regard, the learning process requires a sequences of steps. Firstly, the student must understand the problem to be solved or the skill to be acquired. Secondly, examples are required to show how to approach and solve a prolem. Lastly, overarching concepts can be introduced to unitfy that which is new with that which is already understood. This approach has succesfully trained and kept the interest of all individuals that I have mentored. As an individual involved in advanced development activities at Eastman Kodak, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of science into product development and I also had the opportunity to train other individuals in the workings of a new product as that product became commercialized and a large staff of engineers and technicians were needed for the product's manufacture. These experiences

I teach in a manner appropriate to the learner. I can be very basic or I can teach at a higher level, depending on the individual. I am very patient and will go over topics until the person understands before moving forward. I have found that sometimes people do not understand basic concepts and that is why they are having trouble learning. I do not have a teaching degree however, I have 30 plus years experience in Finance. I worked at Eastman Kodak for 37 years. During that time, I have taught bookkeeping to new employees, credit and collection work, working with Dun & Bradstreet, how to determine credit worth, reconciliations and problem solving. I have taught many people the 'Kodak' way to do their job. I have always been highly motivated and able to work well in a team environment.

I believe learning is a two-way process. It needs to start with a student who has a true desire to learn and then, of course, the teacher needs to have a true desire to bring about the learning. A successful combination will result in mastering of concepts and development of skills as opposed to simply reciting facts. I believe students will more readily learn if the subject matter is made relevant to the world they live in. With the fast pace of technology development it needs to be stressed that learning is a life-long endeavor. Teaching the concepts and developing the skills will allow the students to better understand developments and determine for themselves the relevance and importance. My education comes from both a local teaching-oriented college and a nationally ranked research university. I have taught in settings ranging from one-on-one tutoring to lecturing a class of over 2

Initially, I began tutoring in Potsdam. I was able to work with students struggling in Math. In addition, I have teaching experience in Texas and New York. In Texas, I was able to teach summer school Math in order to assist students to pass their Exit-level exam. In New York, I worked as a director and tutor for Huntington Learning Center. I care very deeply about the success of each of my students. My degree in Math did not come easily and I had to work very hard. I understand the frustrations of the students and try to show them how to complete their work in different ways. I believe that with support and encouragement children can learn material that they find very challenging. I have the patience and empathy to do that.
