First -Meet the student, Assess the strength and weakness of the student. Second Using the students strength strategy work on the weakness. I believe in doing, for example assignments, lectures have to be interactively approached and conducted independently by the student at all times.

I had no exact teaching method. However, I was able to answer simple questions and allowed the students to work on their problems by discovering some of the ideas themselves. I have done assistant teaching for my professors at Concord University. I helped set up laboratory equipment, answered college freshmans' questions and provided reasons for why certain biological processes occurred in Biology 102. I only did it for two hours per week, but I learned how to cooperate with college students and provide my insight of biology.

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 should be given the resources to grow and educate themselves. I am very patient and persistent in my methods. I think teaching is an art of framing the student's mind so that they find themselves more engaged in the world through expression and description of it from the human language perspective (whether numerical or verbal). I get along well with kids and as long as the student I am working with has an attitude of openness, I am sure that it will be a successful, possibly even fun, experience. 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,

I graduated from the University of Buffalo in 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in physics and a minor in mathematics. I am extremely proud of my academic achievement there as I earned the title of Summa Cum Laude, and had cumulative GPA of 3.9. Since then I have discovered that teaching is my true passion in life, and I have earned my Master’s from the University of Rochester in 2009. During my education and up to now I have gained extensive experience working with a wide variety of students from all over the Rochester area. I continue to strive to bring my love of science and mathematics to my students and hope to enrich their lives if only in a small way. I believe that the best way to learn anything is to actually do it and have it be relevant to your experiences. That is why I strive to make science and math come alive for my students so they can see that the things they are learning ar

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

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

Most my experience with teaching has been on the peer level therefore it has always been easy for me to relate to the students I was helping. Having recently gone through a difficult degree I feel my experience with learning good greatly help other students realize that even though it may not seem like it they can achieve their dreams too. I am a very hands on learner and have always brought that to any one that I was helping through visual aids or actually doing an experiment. I think all students struggle with different subjects and need help from time to time, my goal is to make students understand that and have an enjoyable learning experience. As a freshman forensic chemistry undergraduate student I was tested out of the general chemsirty courses offered at York College. This being the case I needed to find a way to keep chemistry fresh in my mind till the higher level courses were

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

The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet exciting way has proven the best method for engaging students of all ages. As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement,

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.
