I teach my science courses based on inquiry. I feel students learn more when they have the chance to explore and do hands-on learning. I have taught Regents Earth Science and Environmental Science at Medina High School for 13 years. I have spent time teaching inclusion classes with a special education teacher. Through that experience I learned the best ways to modify work for individual students. My goal is to meet the needs of all learning styles.

I truly enjoy teaching and learning ways to teach. I am easy going and often find I have most success when lesson are driven by student interests. I am aware of the education demands and learning expectations of public schools in the state of New York. I have tutored students from age 3 through 19. I have taught grades pre k-12 in special education settings and various tutoring settings. I have been teaching and tutoring for the past 10 years. I have a large variety of teaching supplies and resources to use to enhance the learning experience. I enjoy using hands on materials and other recourses to meet the needs of all kinds of learners. I have a “what ever it takes” attitude when it comes to teaching. I have found that creativity is an essential quality of a tutor. I have a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education.

Once in a classroom I realized that I was meant to teach. I love working with students who are challenging and those who challenge me. I believe that I can become a better teacher only by continually challenging myself and my students. The key phrase “engaging students” seems less than what is required in the classroom. I want my students to be engaged but I want them to encompass and enjoy what they are doing as well. I love technology and new method topics; I have a very strong math and science background as well as excellent written and verbal presentation skills. I was a hands on learner and often use hands on methods to teach when possible. I have taught every level from kindergarten to college level and feel comfortable doing so. I am interested in tutoring because I love teaching regardless of the subject matter. I’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try several

I have a passion for teaching and the everyday rewards. Because I have worked in bilingual, private schools in a foreign country I have successfully learned to handle diversity. I have learned to appreciate the individuallity of each student and his or her needs in processing, learning and how they interpret the world. I use Bloom's Toxonomy and Gardner's Multiple Intelligence to build my lessons in a differentiated form to reach each student on his or her level. It is important for me to know each of my students so that I might be able to help them reach their learning goals and motivate them to take more responsibility for their own learning. In this way their progress is their own and that makes it more meaningful for them. In my 28 years experience in the field of education I have taught all grades from pre-kinder through university in bilingual private schools in Mexico City, Me

I have taught high school math for over twelve years. I tutor math and chemistry students. I hold degrees in engineering (BS Civil Engineering, MS Environmental Engineering) and education (MA Educational Administration). My engineering training has taught me the level of hands-on mathematics required to succeed in college degree programs. I strive to prepare all my students for success at this level. Good mathematical mechanics must be augmented by a thorough conceptual understanding. I excel at identifying and correcting student deficiencies. To serve students in a tutorial setting, I first determine a student's current level of understanding. As specific gaps in understanding are identified, targeted instruction is used to fill in those gaps. Many times work on fundamental concepts or mechanics is required to achieve true and lasting success in the content area. Students that

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life! I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy tutorin

I have my Bachelor’s Degree in both Elementary and Special Education 1-6 with a focus in Mathematics. I also have 5 years of teaching experience, 1 of which was in Elementary Special Education in Heathsville, Virginia. The other 4 years of experience have been in the Marcus Whitman District. Before obtaining my college degree I worked as a student volunteer at an elementary school – working with students as a tutor. Being a flexible and kindhearted educator I have enjoyed all the teaching opportunities presented to me; including working with diverse groups of students with multiple disabilities. These experiences have helped me to become a more compassionate individual who works hard to make sure students become successful and achieve their educational goals with effective accommodations. My greatest strength is being able to facilitate all learning styles. I understand the importance o

I have high expectations that all children can learn and grow. Given that premise, I believe that the primary role of an educator is to assess each child’s strengths and weaknesses and to use this knowledge to meet the student’s needs by building on his or her strengths. My main objective is to create learning experiences that are part of an authentic, integrated curriculum, so that children are able to make meaningful connections to the material being taught. I also believe that it is important to establish a sense that students are part of a community of learners who must work together to make it possible for everyone to learn and grow. My ultimate goal is to utilize the professional training and experience I obtained in the field of education to help others learn and grow. Both my B.S. in Education earned from SUNY Geneseo and my Masters in Reading earned from Edinboro University

I believe that students must be able to perform through practice problems to fully demonstrate understanding of information. Therefore, I will check to see what a student understands about a particular topic, give some instruction, and then test their knowledge with appropritae questions. I have taught high school science for nine years at Penn Yan Academy including: The Living Environment, Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Access Science for Special Education students. I have permanent teaching certificates in Chemistry 7-12, and Biology - General Science 7-12.

I have always loved teaching. My first job was working at a summer recreation program teaching tennis and swimming lessons. I worked at a 21st Century Learning Center through college helping needy middle schoolers achieve success. I have taught 2 years of kindergarten and 3 years of 4th grade in a rural school in NY. I have been extensively trained in phonics instruction through the Reading First program at my school. I continue learning about reading and writing instruction through professional literature and workshops. I currently teach 4th grade Science and Language Arts. I believe the key to teaching at the elementary level is developing a love of learning in the student. A student will simply go through the motions if they are not invested in the subject. I do this in the classroom by sharing my own love of science, books and reading. Focusing on student choice of books and
