More About This Tutor...

As an educator, seeking excellence in the public and private sectors, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with students in Elementary up through Middle and High Schools as a pedagogue and tutor. I have earned my BA in Primary Education and am New York State Certified. I have dedicated myself to assisting students, through after school and summer programs, in helping them achieve success in academics as well as promoting positive self esteem and confidence so that they will continue to succeed after their tutoring objectives have been met. For the past 14 years I have been fortunate to work with students in English, Mathematics and Sciences.
My love for teaching and working with children has allowed me to learn a variety of ways to help my students learn. Through the use of audio, visual and tactile manipulatives, my students have had some very exciting experiences and have ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I teach the way I counsel--by expecting self-responsibility. I use humor to enhance one's motivation to seek out and focus on one's strengths. I am not a coddler--I believe that higher expectations result in higher performance. When coupled with empathy, faith in the individual and strong foundations of skills, success is inevitable.
I have been supervising other counselors since 1997 in their report-writing. I take pride in my writing skills in the face of a field riddled with nurses who prefer abbreviations to beautifully executed coherent sentences. The sheer eloquence of being able to deliver a report allowing the reader to infer the true meaning of your words, while not providing any statements that will give fuel to a legal representative is a time-earned skill. In addition to my writing skills, I have 14 years of business skills, extensive analytical skills, which t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is gentle but firm. I believe anyone can learn, given the proper structure and encouragement. Confidence is critical in learning, and that is what I always try to instill, through gentle but firm instruction and the ongoing development of a student's feelings of personal responsibility for learning.
I have a BA in Political Science/English (1965), and have always loved reading good books and studying history and government. I also have an MBA (1975), and my working career of 40 years has included 25 years in developing Accounting Systems (multiple firms), Telephone Network Systems (Consultant and Senior Systems Engineer at AT&T for 15 years), and Accounting Operations (most recently Controller for a service firm with annual revenues of $15 Million. I developed excellent analytical and writing skills from my work in systems analysis, and also have extensive exp ... read more

Read More About Jason D...

I took high school and college seriously. After college I worked for several years before attending law school. After law school I decided to combine my legal experience with hands-on medical skills, and I enrolled in a Registered Nurse program at SUNY Delhi, which I will complete next May. This summer is a lull before completing my education and embarking on a medical administration career.
I believe effective learning can occur in a 1-on-1 tutoring situation when the tutor and the student can communicate well. Tone, mood, and setting all come into play. A tutor who is relaxed, cheerful, encouraging, and resolutely intelligent is more likely to be approachable and someone the student will collaborate with successfully. I believe in active listening and working together to establish a method of studying.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a political science and social policy major I have been required to read, research and write collegiate level papers. I strive for excellence in my writing and ability to help others improve their writing skills. As a health educator, I did lesson planning, creative activities and group facilitation. I also provided individual counseling to those who required more one-on-one assistance. Currently, I am a counselor and instructor for an Educational Opportunity Program in higher education. I teach MLA/APA citation, how to avoid plagiarism, and improving grammar, punctuation and overall writing ability.
When someone 'gets it'-that is the most rewarding aspect of education. I encourage excellence, not 'just getting by.' I will raise the bar for a student and coach them along so they improve their confidence and self-esteem in the learning process. I believe that the teacher ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am the director of Campus and Corporate Events at SUNYIT as well as the director of the Gannett Art Gallery. I was previously employed at MWPAI arts museum as the coordinator of museum education school programs. I have extensive background in leading programs for children in 4th grade local history; 5th grade american revolution programs, and managed the ArtsReach program for 350 inner city Utica youth from ages 8 to 12. I have also led orientation programs for elementary school teachers for incorporating the arts into their school education programs.
I am very patient and encouraging; I believe children can learn anything if you make it fun for them. Getting them to employ good notetaking and study skills will help them to retain the information they are learning. I love working with children and believe that all children have the capacity to learn - but not every child learns i ... read more
