My comments on tutoring Literature : I've studied countless volumes of literature. Mostly Western. Hemingway, Thoreau, Bukowski, McCarthy, etc...

Hands-on/in the field
I have been a professional print/broadcast journalist for roughly 15 years. I am a perpetual student and am currently finishing my bachelors in communications online at the University of Tampa and have been accepted in their Master of Fine Arts program for Film Studies. An MFA is a terminal degree, so I will be qualified to teach on a collegiate level upon graduation. As reality often transcends policy, I currently take interns from a local SUNY institution and mentor young broadcasters, so as technology evolves, I will as well. My main body of work is primarily broadcast, but I regularly produce print articles for both online and print publications. From developing concepts for solid stories to completed final products, I am adept at producing both broadcast and print work.

Once I am assigned a child I initally spend time going over a typical homework assignment to see where they are having some trouble. I get them to read out loud to me to see what their level of reading is. Some kids have problems sounding out the words or with simple rules of grammar. Once I see where they are at then I start bringing in some workbooks to help them in that particular area and apply that to their homework.
Along with my educational background I was a Girl Scout Troup leader for three years and a volunteer for the American Lung Association and American Heart Association. I enjoy working with kids and contacted Barbara Kline of the Utica School District and started working in the Tutoring program with her for four years. While in the tutoring program I assisted students from elementary school and highschool in reading and writing comprehension. I throughly enjoy ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Along with my students, I find that I am always learning better ways to transmit my knowledge, and this openness to adapt and change to the needs of the various students in front of me best describes my teaching style. However, in each lesson, I strive to incorporate both visual and auditory presentations of material. I also strive to incorporate listening and writing activities into each lesson. I love working toward that "ah-ha" moment when a student makes a link, finds a pattern, or even finds new success from new approaches to studying.
Having lived for two, nonconsecutive years in France, I developed a deep sense of responsibility and personal drive. Having taught both French and English in a high school, I have also acquired practical skills that allow me to effectively transmit my passion to both students who want to learn, and to those who face more challenges in the learni ... read more

My first career was as a Registered Professional Nurse (NYS licensure) for 25 years. During those years, I kept up my interest in various fields of math, such as Abstract Algebra, Differential equations, and topology. I was especially interested in algebraically-capable computer math programs. I,eventually, went back to school for my Mathematics degree as part of a long-standing interest in and commitment to Mathematics. I presently teach students who are "at risk" in the 7th through 12th grades and have done so for the last 10-11 years at OHM-BOCES. I have tutored the NYS Math B course for 5 years as well as the current NYS Algebra I/II courses.
All children are students; they can learn. The question is how best do they learn? I have used many differing styles from rote memorization through self-paced self-education. I encourage students to see the wonder and "mystery" (th ... read more

I talk; I listen. I let students take the lead and articulate their informed opinions so they can cultivate better critical thinking skills. As a tutor, I ask the tutee what s/he wants/needs to work on and we focus first on those aspects of the writing. I like students and I think it shows in both my teaching and tutoring style. I especially like tutoring because I can work one on one with the same student(s) over and over.
I have thirteen years experience teaching writing from remedial to advanced levels. I was a tutor at Idaho State University throughout my masters and doctoral degrees and have tutored face to face and online. I have an extensive background in teaching and tutoring methodologies and practices. I have tutored students from the high school level to the masters level. In addition, I have a background in reading instruction from my undergraduate degree in ed ... read more

Prior to homeschooling my six children, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Schriner's Burn Institute in Boston, and then at Darmouth College Medical School in Hanover, NH. My science and laboratory background from UVM was beneficial to my success in these labs. I have now spent to past 18 years homeschooling my children. The three oldest have graduated high school with complete NY state requirements. They have all tested in the 700's in Verbal SAT and high 600's for Math. I feel qualified to tutor most Elementary subjects, as well as advanced Math, Biology, and Chemistry.
I try to involve as many senses as I can when illustrating new concepts and ideas. Math manipulatives are essential elements for early math comprehension. Whenever a game can help solidify ideas, it is utilized and learning is always fun. Children reach benchmarks, such as reading independently and m ... read more

In a world of specialization, I tend to break the mold by having rather wide academic interests. I earned a bachelors degree in Religion, then went on to earn an MA in Theology. In between this period I did a semester of Analytic Philosophy while attending Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada CA. The nature of my studies has forced me to focus on worldview. In doing so I acquired confidence in engaging the natural sciences, namely biology, world history, and philosophy. Along the way I have also become a skilled writer. During my time at Liberty I spent a semester as a teacher assistant, which included teaching class occasionally. I have also had tutored many people in understanding the Bible, both in college and church settings.
I love teaching, period. I strive for clarity in my presentation. This has allowed me to explain very complex ideas to adults as well as very y ... read more

I enjoy the challenge of working with children. My eldest daughter is a graduate of the University of Georgia and I have two teenagers currently in Middle and high school. They have augmented my ability to be patient and flexible when assisting with their homework. Further, their diverse curriculum has made it necessary to brush up on their current subjects as well as my teaching skills. Both are top students and both have won good citizenship awards. I feel that family and teacher support sets the dynamic that allows children to grow and gain knowledge in their ongoing endeavors.
I graduated in the top ten of my high school class at Utica Free Academy. I had the highest mathematics average. I attended Williams College in Williamstown Mass and studied economics, studio art, and creative writing. Following graduation with a BA degree in 1981, I worked for two seasons as a su ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am 20 years old. I graduated from high school with honors. I was in advanced english. I also graduated with honors from Madison-Oneida BOCES. I am currently in college for Business Management, and I am also studying Psychology. When I finish I want to work with teenagers. Everyone goes through a hard time when they are teenagers, and I believe I can help. I have an older brother who was struggling through high school, and I helped him to graduate. My younger sister is now in high school, and I help her anytime she needs it.
I love teaching and helping kids. I have been around a lot of kids all my life, and maybe I am not a people person, but kids seem to love me. I am a very patient person, and I would love to tutor your student. I also believe that kids can excel as long as they get proper help when needed. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children learn in different ways. Which is why I believe in hands on lessons and using differentiated instruction. As a teacher these were practices that I used with all my classrooms and students.
I am a recent college graduate who graduated college from the state of Arizona. I hold a Associates Degree in Liberal Science and a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have experience working as a Kindergarten Teacher, Fourth Grade Teacher and as a Preschool Teacher. I have also worked as a Reading Interventionist, in which I tutored students in small groups who were considered at risk.
