I am a NYS Certified School Psychologist. I have worked in an Elementary School building for 2 years and have been working for WFL BOCES for the past 8 years with students in high school. I have experience working with students with a variety of learning needs as well as with students with significant social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. English and Math are (2) of my strengths but I am well versed in many of the academics skills necessary in order to obtain a NYS Regent's Diploma. In addition, I have been playing guitar for the past 6 years and would love to help out students who are interested in learning how to play. Overall, my style is fairly casual. I meet students where they are at and have a unique ability to take them to where they want to go. I try to tap into strengths and inspire students to invest in learning by identifying their interests and making connecti

Jenifer W. - Fairport, NY 14450 (40.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I believe in meeting students right where they are, and letting them progress at their own rate. I make learning as relevant as possible and incorporate many hands-on learning opportunities. I present information in a multitude of ways, using modifications and graphic organizers. School should be fun, and most importantly, it should make sense!! After teaching for 12 years, I decided to step away from the classroom in order to spend more time with my own two kids. I taught in both Rochester City and Brighton, with kids in grades 7-12. Many of my students struggled in school for all different reasons. I would love the opportunity to work with you. School can be really frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. I know a few tricks to help it go more smoothly, and I'd love to share them with you!

Elizabeth K. - Wellsville, NY 14895 (45.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Thanks for reading my profile. I have tutored French and Spanish at my community college. I have conducted "baby groups" for children 6 mo. - 1 yr in a multi-lingual center for children where I worked in Moscow for three years. I have taught groups of adults English as a Second Language at Inlingua language school in DC. I have taught middle school Russian and Critical Thinking, and college first year Russian while in graduate school. I have worked with children ages 4-10 one-on-one in their homes on a freelance basis, during which time I managed multiple clients and did this full time for an incredibly satisfying profession. Overall I have a rich experience of in a variety of settings. I have a goofy, hands-on style. I try to make it fun. I am very strict, however, when it comes to grammar, respect, and completing proposed tasks. Obviously I have different styles for adults and children

Allison G. - Churchville, NY 14428 (50.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I won the Outstanding Poetry award in my Highschool in 2008, and later won the Creative Writing: Poetry award at Rochester institute of technology in 2013. I took several creative writing classes while obtaining my BS, including Poetry Workshop classes. I have always had a passion for learning. Part of my passion includes helping others learn, grow, and succeed. As an undergraduate student, I volunteered as a Peer Mentor in order to help new students become accustomed to their classes. I also worked as a Peer Mentor for students who were struggling with their grades. Peer Mentors are carefully selected by Rochester Institute of Technology through a detailed application process. I volunteered as an English tutor, as well as a proofreader of essays, research papers, and projects.

Martha G - Penn Yan, NY 14527 (12.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $44.50/hr.
All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support.
I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal. My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary educatio

Mark M - Watkins Glen, NY 14891 (13 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I believe that education should present as much material to the student as possible, which includes using various textbooks, lecture, and inquiry. After that, it will be up to the student to assess and construct the information given in order to form his/her own opinion about the subject matter. True education and learning is ownership of the subject matter which comes through effort and discipline and a little bit of guidance. Since April 2007, I have been a substitute teacher at both the Watkins Glen High School and Middle School. Frequent subjects include English, Psychology, and Physical Education. I belong to a writers group which meets at the local library every first and third monday. I belong to a chess club that meets at a coffee shop every Thursday. I also assistant coach varsity and college soccer during the spring and fall seasons.

erica s - horsheads, NY 14845 (18.4 mi) - Poetry 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. I also took Spanish for five years with honors and in addition i took Italian in college and have a p

Darlene S - Corning, NY 14830 (20.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $50.00/hr.
A requirement for completion of my Education degree was to student teach for one semester. I completed my student teaching at both a high school and a middle school. During that time, I also provided some one-on-one help for students who were struggling in their every day classroom assignments. As a graduate with a degree in Adolescence English Education, I am familiar with homework assignments and what students need in order to be successful ELA learners. I believe that students learn best when they are able to use a variety of I believe it is necessary to access prior learning in order to know where to begin the learning process. Then I believe it is necessary for students to participate in both guided practice as well as independent practice in order to assess whether or not they have a working knowledge of the material that is being taught. I also believe in using both formative

Theresa R - Geneva, NY 14456 (23.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I graduated from Finger Lakes Community College with an AA in Elementary Education. I passed the NYS Teacher's Assistant Skills Test in 2006.
I worked at BOCES as a tutor. I tutored high school, middle school and elementary school students. I also worked in the BOCES classrooms as a teacher's aide. I worked at BOCES for 3 years.
I also worked at Happiness House as a substitute residential aide, and my duties included helping young residents with their homework and reading with them.
I must also mention that I helped my own two children with their homework, and now I help their young children with their work. If I am tutoring a young person I contact the teacher so that I can find out what areas the student needs review in. Many times the teacher will give me the resources and materials to use.
Also, I like to use the guide books for each grade that are sold in stati

Helen C - Pine City, NY 14871 (25.7 mi) - Poetry 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

Michele U - Canandaigua, NY 14424 (26.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $44.50/hr.
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

Ann P - Conesus, NY 14435 (30.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $49.00/hr.
Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate effective writing and useful technique. For 20 years I was a financial analyst at a NY brokerage, where I turned out 2,500 words per day of analysis and commentary. I was also a language and usage consultant at a financial boutique and a legal proofreader. I am particularly good at eliciting enthusiasm for good writing and appreciation of English grammar. I am a practiced writer with business and creative writing experience and training. Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she needs

Daphne R - Brooktondale, NY 14817 (33.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $45.00/hr.
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. 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.
