Joshua A - Elmira, NY 14904 (20.2 mi) - Reading Tutor - $46.50/hr.
My teaching style is to draw connections to what the students are trying to learn with what is happening today that they might be interested. When I am able I like to show them where the event happened [if it is history] so that the student does not just hear names and dates but can picture it in their head. As someone who loves history I discovered my passion for helping others understand history. Because of this love I pursued a degree in museum studies. I have over 6 years experience in volunteering my time at history museums in order to educate today's youth about the past.

Nancy S - Elmira, NY 14904 (21.3 mi) - Reading Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I graduated from Mansfield University with a BS degree in Elementary Education with honors. I taught a temporary position in third grade (all subject areas), then was asked by the school superintendent to substitute teach in Junior and Senior High School, and Special Education classes, which I did for four more years before I had to move out-of-state for my ex-husband's job. I just spent the last 15 years working for the NYS Dept. of Corrections in many areas. I gained much experience in all aspects of office work, including computers, writing, people skills, reports, counseling, math,etc. I am currently retiring, and would like a part-time position for added income while I attend college part-time. I have always wanted to work individually with students (which is why I especially enjoyed Special Education students, and a hearing impaired student I worked with). I feel one-on -one

Lia N - Horseheads, NY 14845 (24.2 mi) - Reading Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I believe that encouraging, awakening curiosity and exploring all avenues of learning through hands on and academic exploration are the best tools for teaching. Finding a child’s learning style is crucial in order to address their academic needs. I am capable of providing the tools a child needs whether it is visual, verbal, kinetic, and intrapersonal or any other learning style. I feel it is very important to teach foundations and mastery especially in math and reading. With these fundamentals in place, education is truly attainable for any child. Teaching is my passion. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art History with a second major in Italian and a Masters in Elementary Education with certification. These areas of study coupled with my extensive work background enable me to present challenged learners with a variety of solutions for academic struggles. I have spent many yea

Helen C - Pine City, NY 14871 (24.5 mi) - Reading Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have recently

Eugenia V - Montrose, PA 18801 (27.9 mi) - Reading Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have tutored grades k-4 in Math, reading and english for the past six years in an after school program. I have studied child development to help me relate to elementary students.
My experience in writing for a newspaer has improved grammatical
skills.This endeavor has given me an eye for correctness and detail to insist on with my students. My educational background in psychology and early childhood
education has given me the insight to allow student to figure out
things themselves with a little prompting. My most successful tutoring has been in explaining things the way a student might
relate to his own experience. Allowing time for listening
gives me clues to what that experience might be.

Amanda J - Binghamton, NY 13905 (29 mi) - Reading Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better help my peers, as well as having volunteer positions tutoring in math and english. I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the right e

Samantha R - Binghamton, NY 13905 (29.1 mi) - Reading Tutor - $48.00/hr.
Although my teaching style very much depends on the experience of the student and whether I am teaching literature or writing, I approach each student, first and foremost, as a person. Teaching and learning are communicative, and as a teacher, I strive to make that communication a two-way street. I am dedicated, patient, and caring as a teacher, and I believe that with a good learning environment and a teacher committed to her students, every student can achieve academic success. Because every student has unique experiences both in and out of the classroom, whenever possible, I build upon those experiences. I do not believe that educators hold the “key to knowledge”; rather, I believe that students hold this key, and it is the educator’s job to help students discover it within themselves. Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about everything English: books, writing, and

erica s - horsheads, NY 14845 (30.2 mi) - Reading Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I love to work with children and excel at discovering what works best with each child. I have the ability to connect with children and make them feel at ease. This sets the stage for easier learning and less frustration. I not only make the students comfortable but their parents as well. Oftentimes, someone who is not related can teach easier than someone close to the family As a mother of three children as well as a graduate of the New York State University school system, I am an avid reader and a natural proof reader. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and have attended classes in Elementary Education toward a Master's Degree. In addition, I have learned extensive patience working with children, my own included, and those children i have helped tutor privately.

Bambi L - Hallstead, PA 18822 (30.3 mi) - Reading Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As an adjunct English professor, I have taught basic college composition and various literature courses for a decade. I have worked closely with students to help them improve their writing on the collge and high school levels. I have extensive composition, grammatical, crtical reading and writing skills from my own work as a graduate student and published author, and have a decade's worth of experience sharing that knowledge with students. Advisors at SUNY tell me my classes fill quickly because I have a reputation as a kind, helpful, and patient teacher who loves what she does and sincerely wants to help students. I believe students should be treated with respect - just like real people! I believe all students can succeed when given a solid foundation of information and guidance and encouragement. I feel the most damaging thing a teacher can do to a student is to make them feel inferio

Daphne R - Brooktondale, NY 14817 (30.6 mi) - Reading Tutor - $45.00/hr.
My goal is to instill habits and skill sets in my students that change learning from a laborious, anxiety ridden process to a spontaneous and empowering one. We learn most from our mistakes, and so therefore, there is no such thing as failure. A one on one session gives a student the necessary attention, and connection, to a mentor that can make the difference. Grades are earned so the successful completion of an assignment is a real accomplishment. Learning is cumulative; self-mastery will come through time and consistent effort. I view teaching as integral to my life, and I am passionate about giving an exceptional education to people. I currently teach academic writing at Tompkins Cortland Community College, and Purchase College. In addition, I have over 15 years experience teaching acting to children, teens and young adults.
