Throughout my tutoring and teaching experiences, I have encountered students with disparate learning styles; therefore, I have learned to be patient and to employ multiple teaching methods (PowerPoint, peer workshops, handouts, and individual conferences) that appeal to all learning styles while inspiring, educating and promoting academic excellence. Students of all ages are influenced by the world around them, so it is absolutely imperative that I connect with my students to teach them the importance of reading and how to read the world and texts around them. I instruct my students, but I also inspire and befriend them through my articulate and energetic teaching styles that ensure my students reach the height of their academic potential. With my M.A. in English from St. Bonaventure, I have the teaching and tutoring experience needed to help students of all ages reach their full academi

Teaching and working with children not only educates them but it educates myself in the process. I get to touch up on materials that the children are learning, as well as learn better ways to educate students. Patience is what I believe is the most important aspect of teaching. Children can become unfocused very easily. When children are distracted it may be very difficult to get them focused. Taking your time and making sure they refocus, can actually save time. If they are unfocused and miss a part of what is instructed, they will be confused throughout the whole process. It helps to be patient with the educating process. These educators who take the time to make sure everything is understood make a huge difference in each student. As a graduate of one of the top state schools in New York, I have always believed in the importance of education. I have a BA in art studio, 2 years of biol

I enjoy earnest and humble students, learning with and from them. I feel uncomfortable not learning laterally as well as vertically, seeing that to be knowledgeable, one must not just memorize but ruminate on what was memorized, making as many lateral connections as expedient. I like to simply direct and expand a student's learning as opposed to an artifactual accomplishment; however, my premiere obligation is punctual achievement of task. I am qualified to tutor writing, basic computer, reading, basic math, learning, biology, organic chemistry, genetics, geography, and various exams, all from college-level experiences. I had a scientific book in Barnes and Noble, ample graduate-level coursework in Education, experience as a High School teacher, and lived abroad. I have a B.S. in plant biotech from Cornell.

As a music student at SUNY Fredonia, one of the finest institutions for music in the Northeast, I gained a great deal of experience in music, but also in the liberal arts. SUNY Fredonia is an institution that specializes in well-rounded students. I have written several research papers, which have developed my keen knowledge of spelling, grammar, citation requirements, and writing techniques. I have tutored many students in music theory, and have proofread research papers, program notes for many a performance, and have also taught voice lessons extensively, which gives me a great deal of one-on-one experience. I am usually the person that many students ask for help with homework in most subjects as well. When it comes to teaching or tutoring, I find that it is necessary to craft a pedagogical style that will match the learning style of your student. Each student learns in a different way,

I have 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher in all areas of elementary education as well as high school classes. I have 2 years experience as an in home tutor for a student with physical disabilities. I have 2 years experience as an itinerate teacher for an environmental education program and a gifted/talented program. I love working with children and I believe all children have the capacity to learn. Teachers need to recognize and learn the correct methods to instruct individual students using their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. I employ various teaching styles based on the student, the subject area, and the goals desired.I am patient, understanding of outside circumstances, and strive to ease the student into the process so they do not become overwhelmed. I keep the learning environment fun but structured so that the student has the best environment in which to

I have taken statistics and gotten an A in the course and still have all course materials to give a general overview of statistics and how to use SPSS. I am knowledgeable on the software and would be able to answer questions on statistics because of how well I did and how I used to help others who struggled with the class. My teaching style is to have a set of problems made up for the students to observe as examples to help understand certain chapters. I will assign additional problems if needed and focus on the subject matter that is the hardest for the individual to understand.

Because students learn in different ways, a teacher must understand, appreciate, and adapt various teaching styles. Learning cannot become synonymous with boredom, and I strive to help keep my students engaged. I understand that all students have their strengths and weaknesses and I try to always enhance their strengths and teach them how to use them to their own advantage. I believe that an appreciation of the value of an education is the first step to success. As a teacher, I thrive with challenges and diversity and seek to be a role model and a friend to my students, rather than simply an authority figure. I have worked as a tutor in my college's writing center and as a teaching assistant in major course requirements. I will graduate at the end of this month with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in English, having completed more than 90 credit hours in literature studies and 18 credit

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 to meet. Then, having determined what it is reasonable to accomplish, I work through repetitive assignments and increasingly complex examples to raise the student’s standard of satisfaction and equip him/her with the critical skills necessary to recognize where his work succeeds and where it does not. My approach is interactive and designed to satisfy the student’s aspiration for independent achievement and confident self-assessment. 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 effectiv

I love composition and literature, and I am especially drawn to students at the developmental level. I am good at accentuating the positive in all students, in helping them find their voice and appreciate the voices and styles of other writers. From homeschooling my own children, I learned to adapt material to individual learning styles. I am passionate about reading and writing at any level and I strive to pass that on to my students. I currently teach college composition and literature interpretation. I also tutor English composition at a community college. I homeschooled my own children, and I recently recieved my NYS certification to teach English Language Arts at the secondary level. I have a BA in psychology and classics and an MA in psychology.
