My style of teaching depends on the needs of the student, their skill level, potential and suggestions of the parents. If the student has no general learning difficulties and exhibits potential in other subjects, then I begin by creating a baseline and comfort level with the subject matter. I seek to set up small, achievable goals to illustrate that progress will come with time and effort. My focus is always on realistic progress based on established time constraints and includes some challenge to reach beyond expectations. I have 40 years professional experience in Accounting, Budget, Auditing, Project Management and General Management. As an Audit Manager, I dealt with all levels of management at a Fortune 500 company. I taught elementary school children real world applications of mathematics as a volunteer in a business and community partnership program. I am comfortable working w

My broad-based educational background gives me a firm foundation for interacting with students on a variety of levels. I have taught both French and Mathematics at the college level, have tutored Math, Physics and Chemistry at the college level, and have substituted in high schools and junior highs as well. As a research mathematician with GE, I have explained mathematical concepts to adults with a wide range of backgrounds. No one teaching style works with all students, or even a majority of them. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make academic subjects interesting and relevant to different students. I usually use a combination of guided discovery, question-and-answer, and hands-on approaches to teaching and learning.

I am a very organized, detail oriented individual. I work well as a group or individually one on one. I have always loved working with children and looking to help them succeed. I am a driven individual who likes to succeed myself in life as well as helping others succeed. I am a patient person, easy to talk to and relate to. I listen before speaking and hear what the individual has to say. I am a firm believer in open lines of communication not only with the student but with parents as well. I try to make the learning fun so children look forward to wanting to do the work rather than putting it off. With my major throughout College all areas of Business were reviewed, Marketing, Management, Accounting & Finance and then one was chosen as your concentration to primarily focus on. I chose Finance with a minor in Information Systems. I have done accounting and payroll for about si

I am a retired engineer who has been substitute teaching for about 4 years including several long term positions. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a MS in teaching with addition coursework in Electrical Engineering and Math. My tutoring experience started in Adirondack Community College’s math lab where I was helping a wide variety of students get through their math classes. I try to adapt my teaching style to the student. I keep trying different methods until we find what works best. This is probably why many of my students have told me that I am great at explaining things so they understand it. Being proficient at math is similar to being proficient at playing a musical instrument. You can’t learn to play an instrument by going to concerts and watching other people perform. Similarly, you can’t learn math by watching the teacher solve problems. I try to guide stud

As a recent graduate, I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence. I have earned a Bachelor's degree in Management, which has provided me with insight to numerous areas of interest such as math, science, and english. I have always believed that the root to success is the quality of your education. This is definitely a motto that I strive for with my own family as well as yours. I love reading and teaching others to value the same. I have tutored the Business Club and a 10 year old boy. My tutoring is not many in number but the quality far exceeds expectations. I am recently enrolling in a Masters program in Education since I have such a strong passion and drive to help our future generations succeed. I believe that every student has the ability to learn but through different approaches. Not every child learns the same way. I am very patient, easy going and considerate. I

I earned a BS in Aeronautics and have completed some graduate work in aerodynamics and meteorology. In addition to having given approximately 3000 hours of instruction in aviation subjects, I have authored several textbooks on aircraft design and construction. I've been both a research pilot and a captain on a cargo airline. My teaching style is straightforward - proceed from the simple to the complex. It appears most subjects require this approach. I find it both helpful and important to try and relate situations encountered in day-to-day life to the specific subject problems.

Having received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and the University of California in the area of physical science (Atmospheric Science), I have attained a high level of knowledge in multiple areas ranging from Math and Science (particularly Physics) as well as Chemistry and Biology. In addition, while at Cornell University I earned a Minor in Communications focusing on both Written and Oral Communication. Regarding my abilities as a tutor, at Cornell I was employed as a Teaching Assistant for two upper level courses in the area of physical science. Lastly, as a local graduate of Queensbury High, I have first hand experience with New York State Regents exams. I very much enjoy teaching both children and young adults. It gives me great satisfaction in helping others achieve a higher level of knowledge and skills. In addition, I feel that tutoring is a

Throughout my four years at Siena College i have been involved in the tutoring done by the Siena College physics club. this tutoring has been all general and specific fields of math and science. I have covered such fields as math through differential equations, general physics through relativity and modern, and general chemistry. I also have knowledge of advanced physics courses such as solid state physics, electrodynamics, advanced mechanics, and quantum mechanics. teaching is something that, to me, is unique when dealing with science education. When dealing with science there are many different ways of looking at the same problem. It is important for the student to keep his or her view of the problem and to work off of that view, rather than to change the view to the teachers. This makes it much more interesting for the teacher to adapt to the different ways of learning for each studen

I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based. I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning.

I have a BS in Elementary Education with a GPA of 3.86 and a MS in Special Education with a GPA of 3.93. I value education and I have had a lot of experience with it. During graduate school I completed two six-month internships working full time in the classroom. I have spent the past three years as a substitute teacher in local schools. I was hired by a school district for two two-month long-term substitute positions. I was also hired as a private tutor for two students who were suspended from school. During my undergrad I worked as a tutor at a local high school and was a math tutor at my college. Working in the education field is a dream come true for me. I love every minute of it. I have a love of learning and I enjoy sharing that with others and helping my students turn into life-long learners. I understand that all students do not learn the same way and that one teaching a

I'm very eager to teach. I love to be able to help children succeed and learn new things. I do whatever it takes to make this happen, and adjust my style as needed for each student. I like to make a difference, especially through education. After receiving my bachelor's degree, I went to school part time to work on my Master's degree while subbing in area schools. I accepted a position as a teaching assistant, and two long term positions. I also tutored a junior high school student in all subjects.

I enjoy teaching individuals as well as small groups, understanding each person has specific needs and study habits. My goal is to help you and your child find a study method that works and leads to an understanding of a subject. I strive to get to know you and your child and make a subject easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas and concepts to 'everyday terms'. I attempt to make a positive impact, offer encouragement and help in any way possible. While earning my degree in earth and atmospheric science I was a tutor to underclassmen at my university in the subjects of earth science and geography. I have a firm understanding of earth science, meteorology, geography, physics and geology. As a senior, I completed extensive research in 3 upper level classes, completing a 6 credit independent study class with an A as well as two other independent study classes with A's. I enjoy te

I've had a deep enthusiasm for mathematics and physics since an early age, when my father, a professor of physics at Dartmouth College, introduced me to the beauty and elegance of the principles underlying these fields. During my junior and senior years at Hanover High, I took courses for credit in both areas, and continued those studies at Princeton University, although ultimately I settled in a degree in psychology. After graduation, I spent one year teaching high school level mathematics at The Mountain School in Vershire, Vermont, before beginning a career in software engineering. One way to inspire a student in these fields is to touch their sense of awe and amazement, another is to instill an appreciation for the usefulness and practicality of what is being taught. With either approach, it is helpful to gain an understanding of the student's interests, attitudes and learning style.
