Another general topic, I have certification in General Science, which in 7th & 8th grades is often called "Life Science." Hello! My name is Amanda and I'm an experienced science tutor. I have been tutoring college-aged learners since 2009 at Maria College, where I focus on anatomy & physiology, chemistry, and biology. I received my BS in biology from Siena in 2010, and went straight on to my MSEd in Adolescent Education from St. Rose, where I graduated in 2012. I am certified to teach General Science and Living Environment in grades 7-12. I also have expert knowledge of study skills and how to tailor tutoring to meet each individual student's needs. My style is very flexible. I understand that some students just need to hear another person tell them the information, while other students require an in-depth discovery of each concept. I can provide both and anything in between to match you

I base my teaching on the pholosophy of Eli Siegal: "Aesthetic Realism". It states that "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and a making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves" Thus, I relate the subject matter in hand to students' personal lives. For example, if we are learning Le Chartelier's Princlple, which concerns the response of a chemical reaction to stress, I have my students discuss the types of stress they experience, and their responses. We compare this to the beautifully precise and appropriate reaction in Chemistry, where the response is never inapproriate, insufficent or in excess. This method has also taught me that I have much to learn from my students and their life experiences. . I have taught for over 25 years in settings as varied as inner city schools in NYC to a small public school in Arlington Vermont, and an elite private school at Str

I would best describe my method of teaching as a give and take experience. Through diologue, I am able to lead the student through the thought process that will derive the correct answer. Giving bits of information can provoke a new approach to the task at hand. I also feel it is important to individualize each person being tutored, as everyone learns differently. Some learn best through the use of things such as pnuemonic devices, while others may need repitition to effectivily remember the material. Gaining knowledge is a passion of mine and sharing this information is something I truly enjoy. My journey through the undergraduate sciences has given me the skills needed to be an effective tutor. Holding a 3.6 GPA, I was able to work with students in group settings, teaching as well as learning. As a member of the chemistry society, we also offered peer tutoring where I was an acti

There is nothing I love more than working with children. I am continually fascinated by how children learn and how they help me to grow as an educator. I consider myself to be very patient and caring. I know that learning is a process and just like any other process, it takes time with the right techniques and practice. I also consider myself to be very diverse with my learning styles. Personally, I learn best by utilizing different approaches to information; listening to information, visually seeing information, manipulating objects. Therefore, I enjoy teaching to fit the individual's needs of grasping the information. Teaching, like learning is multifaceted. I have been given a solid education at the undergraduate level at The College of Saint Rose where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education. I have my NYS Initial Teaching Certification in both Early Childhood

As a Buffalo State graduate, I have received Dean's List award. I have earned two Master Degrees, Master of Social Science in Public Administration and Master of Science in Reading that helped me to teach to the students who face difficulties in the content area reading. I am exposed to and trained with numerous research-based reading programs such as Reading Recovery, Fountas and Pinnell GRL, and more. As an AIS teacher, I pull out students to teach math and reading skills. Currently, I teach ESL to the adult students as well. I am blessed that I am not academically extremely intelligent. Otherwise, I could never be sympathetic to the students who struggle processing various concepts. This thought brings me to the scientist Einstein, who says, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." I believe in being persistent, consistent, and have patience and b

After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English. My experiences were wonderful as I met people who really enjoyed learning English and needed it for work. After 6 months I returned to the states and taught at a Junior High School on the Lower eastside of NYC. I left teaching after 10 years to market computers. My skills as an educator served me well and I did extremely well. After approximately 8 years I decided I wanted to go back to teaching, and have been teaching the use of computers. I enjoy helping individuals to increase their skills and achieve success! As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor.

My teaching style is to discovery how each child learns, whether it is visual, audio, movies, written, tactile, CD's, adaptive technology, and re-learning. I want my students to have success and become life-long learners while providing them with the tools that help them reach their potential. Learning is an experience that should be enjoyed and given praise, compassion, kindness, and consistency helps one learn and discover their academic success. I have made many differences in student's lives, as they have taught me learning experiences that I will never forget. I am expressive, funny, and love to teach. Sine high school, I have worked with children in BOCES. However, I started college later in life, after children and marriage. I wanted to provide my children with an education that I couldn't afford since I knew nothing of grants in 1974. I started with my AA and did not stop un

As a classroom teacher, I focused on individualizing student instruction through the application of multiple intelligences in lessons and activities, implementing a differentiated curriculum, and individualizing student assessment by adhering to authentic assessment techniques; evaluating students through a combination of summative and formative measures as well as performance based learning tasks.

I would like to teach a student up to their maximum knowledge level in that specific subject. I usually provide some of my own notes to study while I assist the student until they have learned the concept completely. Below is some feedback my students wrote for me while I was teaching Human Anatomy with disease and Genetics. 1. Once the class got into a rhythm, it was good. Good real life examples 2. Intelligent, admirable, kind person 3. Amazing teacher, best one I had this year 4. Extremely knowledgable 5. I think he truly tries to help his students and is very knowledgable and so on and on...

Education is my passion, and I plan on obtaining my masters in that subject. My teaching technique incorporates many practical components, that benefit me greatly when attempting to instruct a student who may not learn best from the conventional, theory-based mode of education. As a recent graduate of SUNY Cobleskill, I have received a strong, practical background in education. I currently hold a BT in Plant Science, an AAS in Environmental Studies and an AA in Liberal Arts and Sciences. I have an extremely strong background in the sciences, and have tutored college level students in introductory courses. In addition to the sciences, I have always been a strong english student and feel competent enough to tutor basic reading skills, and SAT verbal preparation.

I have been an adjunct professor at a local 2 year college, and I have been teaching 7-12 grade since 2006. I am confident in my skills as a teacher and a leader and think that my real world business experience background gives me an edge with the students because I can apply that to their school curriculum. I am a very hands on, activity based teacher. I follow the rule of Explain, Example, Exercise. I make sure to have many different types of learning so that each student can be successful. I want my students to be excited about my class, so I am always changing and molding my activities to stay current. I have a classroom that is full of colors, and ideas.
