A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator, seeking excellence in the public and private sectors, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with students in Elementary up through Middle and High Schools as a pedagogue and tutor. I have earned my BA in Primary Education and am New York State Certified. I have dedicated myself to assisting students, through after school and summer programs, in helping them achieve success in academics as well as promoting positive self esteem and confidence so that they will continue to succeed after their tutoring objectives have been met. For the past 14 years I have been fortunate to work with students in English, Mathematics and Sciences.
My love for teaching and working with children has allowed me to learn a variety of ways to help my students learn. Through the use of audio, visual and tactile manipulatives, my students have had some very exciting experiences and have ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children are born with great potential. My job, as a tutor, is to help young people achieve their best. I am patient, considerate and an excellent listener. I believe that once children recognize their own potential they will strive to succeed. A good educator can make a world of difference to a child. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
Since completing my BA in English (with a minor in Communication), I have been responsible for teaching children and adults in a variety of settings ranging from museums to the classroom. I also earned an MA in Public History and, as such, learned extensive grammatical skills and became a strong writer. I would value the opportunity to help your child succeed in preparing for college.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping students understand the principles they are dealing with, rather than focusing on helping them simply "get the answer" to the problem at hand. My goal is for them to be able to generalize the concept and apply it in different contexts. To develop interest, I seek to discuss related information or similar problems as much as possible. For Physics in particular, this approach is key to providing a sound foundation for future learning.
Most of my career has been spent at IBM, where I built on my Physics background for a broad range of opportunities. I am now seeking to move into a teaching career and plan to start a Masters in Teaching in the Fall of 2009. During my educational development, I taught for three years in undergraduate and graduate school as part of the duties of a teaching Assistant. I have tutored secondary school students for the last 5 years in M ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I enjoy and see the wonder in science and I like to show that to students. If they see a reason to want the knowledge, and see how it can expand their horizons, then they will be more open to learning. A common problem with individuals needing tutoring is that they sometimes do not think they have the "smarts" to learn the subject. My first objective is to show them they have the "stuff" to get it! Then I show them how it can be fun. This needs to be balanced with the practical need to get passing grades and complete the course work. My style is marked with a belief in the student and I encourage them and acknowledge their progress.
I received a technology degree in 1975. Several years later I returned to college to persue a Physics/Mechanical Engineering Degree from SUNY New Paltz and RPI. I was an "A" student in Physics and enjoyed tutoring many classmates. I was a gue ... read more

As an extremely motivated female, I am seeking employment through tutoring because I feel I have gained a great plethora of skills necessary to be successful in a variety of career fields, especially related to the job oppertunity offered through your company.

For writing, usually I conduct some exercises. The level of the critique and what to say depends heavily on the age of the student. For grammar, I would either find or create my own practice materials and we could go over whatever is necessary until I've decided that the student is making improvements or the student has succeeded.
Over the past year, I have tried to extend my ability to share my love and appreciation of English and literature with others. As an English/Communications major, I am very knowledgable in a variety of subjects including grammar, writing composition and reading comprehension. Last year, as President of the Writers Forum, we spent several months tutoring as part of an after school program where we helped children in Baltimore write.

My teaching style is engaging since I like to get the student or students involved in learning and practicing the material as much as possible. I am animated and enthusiastic when I present and I think that is important in gaining and keeping students' attention focused to get the maximum learning benefit possible. Boring instruction benefits nobody and frequently is counterproductive. I also give frequent positive and supportive feedback to motivate students and let them know they can succeed and I will help them to achieve success.
Besides having a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics, I have a strong analytical/technical background that enabled me to succeed in physics, civil engineering, and electrical engineering electives that I took as part of my undergraduate studies. During a ten-year period during my professional career in the telecom industry, I trained managers and ... read more

I am proficient in the areas of British and American Literature and have designed innovative units based around such classics as The Scarlet Letter and Of Mice and Men. Making germane connections and scaffolding ideas, allows for deeper comprehension, interpretation, and analysis. This methodology, as well as my vast range in experience has allowed me to thoroughly prepare my students for the English Language Arts Exams, English Regents Exam, and PSAT/SAT.

I like being with children. I think that their interests change, develop and grow and as such I love to learn about the things they are interested in, and enjoy them as well. As such, I find ways to communicate and work with children so that they learn well.
A not so great student, I found that I still loved learning. I love stories in all forms. I have a degree in History from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I love politics and history, and found Library Science a natural extension of history and political science. Thus I now have a Masters degree in Library Science. Additionally I have always loved working with Youth, so my specialization in Youth Services. Also I have experience working with Youth as a Sunday School Teacher, a Boy Scout Assistant Leader and a Teaching Internship. As such I look forward to tutoring others in loving stories.

I love teaching and I am very interested in helping children/young adults better their lives by achieving their goals academically. I consider myself to be very in-tune with the mindset of children and employ various tricks of the trade to engage them in learning. I am very proud of the students I teach and I strive to help them better their own lives. A very important aspect of my teaching style is to help the children help themselves. Anyone can give them the answers, but I consider giving them the skills to find answers when I'm not there helping them a more important goal.

The best teaching style in my opinion, explains how to research, plan and write essays, gives students time to practice these skills in class, and ensures students get feedback on how well they have done on each sub-skill. Students learn skills by using them in a realistic, subject-specific context, and in a combined way. So they might use other skills taught before such as note taking, highlighting, all in context. The purpose of the skills are stressed, students are taught not just what to do and how, but also why. The students then reflect on how well they used the skills, what gains they were getting and so on, and then they action plan for improvement.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience working with adults but I love working with children as well. I have the ability to manipulate the way I teach that will maximize the learning for each individual. I'm am a very personal and creative person thats wants everyone to succeed in their academics.
While studying for my undergrad in economics I found a passion in helping others succeed as I was. I often held study sessions with groups ranging from 2- 10 people at least twice a week. When during these sessions if an individual felt lost, I would often meet with them at a later date to coach them separately. I have yet to receive a further degree in teaching but may be a path a may take. It is such a wonderful feeling to succeed at academics and I love to help others experience that.
