A Little Bit About Me...

I am a friendly, out going person who is very invested in my students work. I believe that to write well one must have a relationship with the content that matters to him or her. I enjoy learning about a person and taking on a mentorship role as well as a direct and focused editing role.
I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring students in creative writing and composition arenas. As lead teaching assistant for entry-level undergraduate Creative Writing courses at Oberlin College, I facilitated small group workshops, provided students with feedback on their writing, and wrote lesson plans designed to help each individual improve technically as a writer. I met weekly with individual students to provide stream-lined, individualized feedback. Last summer I worked in Harare, Zimbabwe as a teacher of Creative Writing. I lead workshops in poetry and prose. I have experience edit ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At the University at Buffalo, I have double majored in English and American Studies and minored in Education. I have worked as a tutor for students of all different ages throughout the course of the past 4 years. I feel that my studies in English and Education make me a qualified tutor. Moreover, I will be attending graduate school in the Fall of 2015 to receive a Masters degree in English Education.

My comments on tutoring Writing : This is how I make my living. As a correspondent in the military, I have to write on a daily basis. It is a difficult discipline, but there's only one way to get to Carnegie Hall. Practice.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach through an experiential model which means that you will learn by doing as much as possible and I will base new instruction on things you already know. I am a very patient person and will review and reteach as many times as necessary so that you feel confident in your understanding. I truly believe that learning is fun and exciting and I look forward to showing you that it can be.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style would best be described as creative and flexible. I find it important to meet each student where they are at and figure out how to make the material make sense for that student. I find that many people are discouraged with English. The three biggest reasons are they have decided they can not understand the material they have been given to read; they have decided they can not write and they have concluded that what they have to say is not worth saying. My goal as a teacher is to make the material accessible and engaging and then to help each person find their voice as a writer. I live for the lightbulb moments, when you can see a student grasping the concept and then making it their own.
I have always had a passion for reading and writing and a love for sharing that passion with others. During my time at Hartwick, in addition to pursuing my degree, I worked a ... 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

More About This Tutor...

For the past six years I have taught or tutored even while working on my own higher education. I have taught or tutored every age level between five and sixty-five and every skill level (including special needs), and though I am most comfortable with middle schoolers or college students, I like working with others as well. The subjects I am experienced in tutoring are: studio art (specifically drawing and painting); history; earth sciences; reading; writing (creative and compositional); English literature; art history; and conversational English.
I believe that there is no such thing as one size fits all teaching. Every student learns in a different way, at a different pace, and much of the fun for me in the process of teaching is improvisation: discovering which methods work best for each student. I believe foremost in teaching students to take responsibility for their own l ... read more

I have tutored at Clinton Senior High School in the past as a member of the National Honor Society. I am extremely proficient with mathematics having received a BS in mechanical engineering and a minor in mathematics. I did a lot of my school work in groups at college as well, so I am extremely good at working with others and know how to help people work out solutions to problems in order to figure out the answer. I have also played a great number of team sports, and have no problem working well and associating with others.
My teaching style would be to help the student formulate the problem, enabling them to arrive at the final solution by themselves. If he/she had trouble with this, I would give hints allowing them to find the correct answer. I am also very good with tips at remembering things, especially in math, which I would tell the student so they could have a better gra ... read more

Throughout my 22+ year career in the insurance industry, I have been involved in the education and training of others. I have also been a member of our Company's "Partners in Education" program, which allows me the opportunity to speak to local area middle and high school students. On top of that, I am a proud father of four children, all of whom excel in their coursework. In my current role as a financial analyst, I work with data and statistics on a daily basis.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children. In addition to help raise my own children, I have coached from the elementary to the high school level for close to 20 years.

I am a very patient and compassionate teacher, and seek opportunities to help others improve themselves. I truly believe that teaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have substituted in a variety of school districts. I student taught in 3rd and 6th grade. I tutored for Young Scholars I have taught for headstart and am currently site supervisor of four headstart locations.
I love working with children one on one.

I would love the opportunity to expand my experience and help more children that really need it through your program.

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 learning process. I also tutor students on a one-on-one basis after school for anybody who wants the time with me.
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" mom ... read more

The summer after my 8th grade year was my first experience teaching. It was there that I facilitated the younger children's use of the computer facilities during a summer reading program. After that I tutored Math, Earth Science, Physics, and Philosophy to other undergrads at my college's Learning Center. More recently I have been a coach of my own children's baseball and football teams, and a volunteer tutoring math and science at a local private school.
I believe that people have different preferred learning styles. Some are visual learners, some audio, some physical, and some use pure intellect. Often, class size prohibits even very good educators from catering to the need of each individual's learning style. It is therefore my job to present subject matter by whatever means necessary for my client's learning to flourish, and to facilitate their mastery of the material ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have more than 30 years experience working in many aspects of the Information Technology field. My job titles run the gamut of Application Programmer, System Programmer, System Analyst, Software Engineer, Department Manager, Director of IT, and IT Consultant. Industrywise, I’ve enjoyed working in Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Product Development, and Health Care. Also, I’ve had an avocation working with youth through the American Youth Soccer Organization as a coach, official, and administrator. Life moves fast, learn and enjoy as much as you can.
I teach with enthusiasm and enjoyment. A large whiteboard or table space for legal pads is a must. Students need to visualize concepts to grasp them. All errors are learning experiences, life is 'trial and error'.
