I help with whatever homework is assigned by the teacher. I also develop my own lessons based on the needs and interests of my students. I ALWAYS try to keep them entertained and excited about their learning.

My comments on tutoring Shakespeare : I am an Ivy League English major undergrad and enjoy teaching. I wrote my Junior Paper on Shakespeare.

Friendly, non-threatening, clear and accomplishment-oriented.
Business executive looking to assist elementary and high school children with their studies. I am a voracious reader and a life-long learner. I like children, have had exposure to tutoring before, enjoyed it immensely, was very good at it (in the sense that the children enjoyed my friendly manner and enjoyed the learning experience) and would like to help children remedy deficiencies and perhaps even learn how to enjoy learning as much as I do.

Shakespeare is one of my top subjects! My students benefit from live readings,dramatizations, audio and video presentations of the plays. They are guided in their research of Shakespeare's life,the Elizabethan stage, dramatic techniques and borrowings.An appreciation of the art of rhetoric and the effectiveness of various literary devices is taught. I encourage my students to see the characters as real people, and to respond to the critical issues raised in the plays. They are therefore encouraged to see life as a "stage".

I have over 30 years teaching experience in Communication Studies, English Language, English Literature and the Art of Public Speaking/Debating. For many years I have taught SAT, ACT,and SSAT to high school students and ESL to adult learners. Teaching has been conducted on a one-on-one, group and class setting. I have taught at high school, college and first year UWI levels, preparing students not only for standardized tests but also for a range of overseas examinations. From September 2011, I have been employed as an SAT Tutor in Long Island.

More About This Tutor...

After earning my BA in English and raising a family, I returned to school to take graduate courses in Elementary Education at Dowling College in Oakdale, New York. I completed my student teaching at Stagecoach Elementary School, but decided to accept a job as a Senior Educator at The Long Island Museum of Art, History and Carriages where I wrote and taught art and literacy programs for all ages. I also worked for years as an English tutor for St. James Tutoring agency, which served homebound elementary and high school students at the request of various school districts in Suffolk County.
I believe that successful teaching begins with engaging the student. If students are given what I call a "hook" something on which to secure new information, then learning can take place. This can be simply piquing the student's interest, building on past knowledge, posing a question or mystery ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a bachelor degree in Management and an MBA in Finance, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and presentations to corporate CEO's. As a member of corporate America I have seen how lack of math skills can hinder someone's career.
I enjoy teaching and working with children. I believe children learn in different ways. It is incumbent on the teacher to mold his/her skills to the child's natural way of learning. I am available to help your child find academic success. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery where the child finds the answer. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are giv ... read more

Teaching students is a wonderful challenge. Finding how to motivate each child to achieve their personal best is my specialty. Helping struggling students to want to learn is half the battle, treating students with respect and rewarding positive behavior is key to a good educator.

A Little Bit About Me...

I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I am patient, and a firm believer that the only "stupid" questions are the ones that are not asked. I have high expectations for my students because I know that they all have the potential and inherent ability to succeed, but that everyone needs a little extra help every now and then. For me, teaching is not simply a job, but a joy, and I look forward to going to work every day.
I am a NYS Certified Elementary School Teacher, currently working as a Staff Developer for Eastern Suffolk BOCES, training administrators and teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions, especially as these data relate to student performance on the NYS Assessments.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based around differentiating instruction to meet student's individual learning style. I enjoy teaching and once I am invovled with a student I dedicate myself to learning which, teaching, studying and learning strategies are best for each individual student. I am also a believer that a tutor/teacher need to constantly research to keep up with strategies and new scientific findings thst can be introduced into lesson plans and tutoring sessions. A teacher should be dedicated and knowledgeable and should teach with a caring touch and unbiased opinions. I strive to help students during these formidable years of adolescent growth so that they can learn how to learn and carry it into a successful academic career.
While working at the AHRC I had the opportunity to instruct children with special educational needs. As a teacher I created diffentiated lesson plans dail ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a highly dedicated and enthusiastic educator who believes that all children can learn. It is up to the teacher to assess and implement the best method, or variety of methods of instruction for each student. In order to successfully cultivate the motivation to learn or succeed, the teacher must develop a personal rapport by demonstrating respect and compassion for each student. A child must believe in him/herself first, then he/she will believe he/she can learn! It is my pleasure to regularly provide the encouragement and positive reinforcement needed to build the confidence to succeed.
My experience as a teacher has primarily been with students who are struggling with either some form of learning or social/emotional disability. Most of these students have been a challenge, a joy, and a reward to have taught. I have found that most students want to learn and to succeed in sch ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my studies at Stony Brook University, I was able to gain some experience teaching peers as an undergraduate teaching assistant. I studied literature and achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Art History and Criticism. I studied abroad in my junior year at Lancaster University in England. It was the experience of a lifetime. In my most recent position as a Lead Teacher for Preschool, I have had the opportunity to educate students at the very beginning of their journey through school. I have had some of the most rewarding experiences from helping children read their first words and write their first letters to showing them how to tie their shoes.
I believe that the best teachers combine an extensive knowledge of their subject matter with a love of guiding others towards their own discoveries. I think that having patience, and open mind, and a love of learning are qualities ... read more

My teaching style is to first make my student feel comfortable. Instead of sitting across from him/her I sit next to him/her. I tell my student that I'm here to help and that is what I enjoy doing. Then usually I ask to see a recent homework assignment. If the child produces one that is a good sign. It means to me that he/she is trusting me. I'm not hired to do the child's homework. My skills as an English tutor will teach the pleasure of the written word. I also, will show how to read a book and comprehend what the author has to say. There's no greater joy when you reach a child with learning and the light goes on over their face.
As a teacher I have always enjoyed relating to my students one a one to one basis. My psychology background has helped me deal with students who are home-bound due to the emotional illness. I've also been fortunate to work with very bright student ... read more
