Teach multiple strategies and techniques for successful learning!
My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners.

I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills.

More About This Tutor...

I received my MBA while a Manager at Verizon for twenty years. My BA in Psychology, my GPA was 3.87. I often tutored children with mental health or learning disabilities in a variety of situations, upon recommendations from Psycholgists and professors. I myself had struggled with how to approach learning, as only recently diagnosed, after all this time , as ADHD. I have a skill at knowing when a child is not understanding the way something may be taught, and have learned a variety of ways to approach a problem for easier comprehension.

In May 2010, I will receive my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art, with minor studies in Psychology and Arts Education. While studying, I had the opportunity to tutor children in the America Reads program at various elementary schools. I also had the privilege tutoring and assistant teaching in general education and art classrooms in the elementary setting. My extensive grammatical skills were gained from writing numerous research papers and education papers, as well as studying foreign languages. My last four years of college, tutoring literacy and instructing art, have given me the proper expertise to tutor.
Children have this fun and entertaining character, which draws me to working with them. With firsthand experience and involvement in numerous education courses, I know that children learn in a variety of ways and at different rates. I am available to give the proper instruct ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with and teaching all levels of students and children. No two children learn in the same way. It is important to differentiate and identify the way that each child needs to be taught and engaged in the lesson. Lessons must be concrete and meaningful to a child. If things are taught to them in a way and on a level that they can grasp any child can be taught. It is important to me that each child be given an opportunity to learn. It is nice to be remembered as the teacher that changed the way a child feels about school and learning from a negative to a positive experience.
I have extensive experience working with dually diagnosed individuals. The students I taught not only had difficulty learning but also exhibited some emotional and mental difficulties. I work well with students both individually and in group lessons. My special education experience has provid ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is one that allows the students to ask any pertinent question about the subject at hand. By allowing the students to do this, it allows me to see what might be giving them a hard time with the learning. Thus, I would be able to ask pertinent questions, that will allow me to show different ways around the troublesome areas, while giving the students a new way to learn the necessary material.
When working towards my Bachelor's I was able to achieve a dual BS in Accounting and Business Management. After working a few years, I decided to go into teaching. While doing this, I was able to assimilate my real life working experience, into the classroom. I have since obtained a second certification in Special Education. This was after obtaining my Master's in 2007. I believe the combination of these teaching areas, would allow me to help those students, who need dif ... read more

More About This Tutor...

By working closely with other professionals, I have been able to put into practice many of the educational theories and figure out how they work best with my style of teaching and the students with whom I work. I have worked at a school for students with emotional, learning, and behavioral needs and developed positive relationships with each student. I also did a research study to improve behavior, reduce anxiety and stress and enhance academic performance with the use of biofeedback software. Last year, I worked as a Special Education teacher where I was able to take advantage of many professional development opportunties. I was trained in Orton-Gillingham, which I used as part of a reading program that improve reading scores immensely.
I love being around children and watching them be successful and enjoy their school adventure. To do this, I provide opportunities for the student ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always been interested in the educational field. I have extensive knowledge in the areas of psychology, writing, and the sciences (particularly biology, anatomy and phsyiology). I have taught several introductory psychology classes at a local community college. In addition, as a graduate student at Alfred University I monitored a study hall of football players and provided the students with tutoring in pscyhology and writing/composition. I also discussed with students their time management, organizational, and study skills. While at Daemen College, I was a tutor in the areas of psychology and history. In addition, while in high school I was a member of Literacy Volunteers and worked with elementary students in this respect.
My philosophy of teaching is based on three beliefs: the goal of teaching is to maximize student learning; learning is maximized in an environment ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After receiving a degree in Sociology from a New York State University, I went on to earn a provisional teaching certificate in Biology. I have twenty-one graduate hours in Reading and eleven graduate hours in Early Childhood Education. My previous work experience had me working with families where one adult was in need of a GED. I have tutored students from elementary through high school in every subject (except Foreign Languages) for over ten years. I have also worked with entering BOCES LPN students on math review and raised many of their entry level grades twenty points. I have also been very successful tutoring children with behavior problems.
Teaching young people and seeing them succeed is such a reward. Many students find the conventional school setting difficult and work with greater success in a one on one setting. Getting to know the student and his or her learning ... read more

As a college graduate I have found it beneficial to work with families to help those become more self-sufficent. I have made the decision to go on for a Master's degree to show those indivduals that I work with that anything can be accomplished with any barriers. I have completed internships within the Community and also conducted research on youths to help give me a better understanding of the decisions that they make. In the process of completing a Master's in Criminal Justice Administration, I have made the decision to proceed with this degree to eventually be able to help and assist more within the Community that I live.
In the process of my career experience, I have mentored and advocated for youths in my County. I have proceeded to work within the various school districts close to school personnel and service providers. It has my job to help youths achieve and excel within an ... read more

My years of teaching have been greatly varied—traditional/ non-traditional, in the States /overseas, regular/special needs students, children/adults, and with a great variety of nationalities (Swedish, British, Slovak, Serbian, Jordanian, Russian, Dutch, South African, etc.). I have homeschooled our five children. I have provided English conversation classes for children. Also, I founded and directed an English educational resource center for expatriate children, like an international school, but smaller scale and with more individualized instruction. My teaching has covered K-12, and adults in business training. Now, back in the States, I’m substitute teaching, especially in the elementary and special education areas.
For as long as I can remember, I have been a natural teacher. My children say that I can never take them on an outing without making a "school" trip out of it. I lov ... read more

Ever since I was a young girl, I enjoyed helping and teaching friends and family. As I grew older, I knew that I was ready to become an educator. Every student has a right to learn. There are many diverse students inside the classroom, but an effective teacher can reach every one of those students. As a teacher, it is imperative to create multiple paths to assist those students and their learning needs. I teach to reach visual learners, auditory learners, and kinestheitc learners. Also, every child needs to be appreciated, heard, and respected.
As a Daemen College graduate, I feel strongly about my education and experience. Throughout my years at Daemen, I have experience in grades K-6. In addition, I student taught at St. Stephen School on Grand Island in the Remedial Reading room from September 2009 to October 2009. I also student taught at Iroquois Middle School in Elma ... read more

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 ... read more
