In addition, I was a calculus course assistant, running problem-solving sessions. During the summer of 2011 I taught a five-week SAT Math prep course to rising high school juniors. I usually mold my teaching methods to fit the needs of my students. I...

...my student teaching experience in the Spring of 2010. I graduated from SUNY Cortland with a Mathematics Education degree. I love relating math to real life applications, and trying to make my tutoring experiences enjoyable and helpful. I absolutely love competition. I was a pitcher for the varsity baseball for SUNY Cortland. I could talk about sports for hours. Go Yankees. Coming right out of college, I believe I can relate with my students and...

...graders. My tutoring style is to convey to students that a foreign language does not have to be overwhelming if it is broken down into simple parts. My teaching philosophy is that I believe everyone approaches learning differently and a tutor should understand the student's learning style. I try to pinpoint the root of any learning difficulties so we can work together to overcome those difficulties and achieve success. I have always had an interest...

...I help students understand, that these tests are a means to an end. It is wonderful to know that I've played a role in helping students achieve their goals. Having spent many years mentoring teenagers, through extensive volunteer work, and raising three of my own, I understand the stresses and difficulties of this time in a student's and parent's life. Former tutoring clients tell me that I have been a calming influence during this difficult...

...had to complete 'Mom's homework' after our own schoolwork as a matter of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as well, which enabled them to reach their own intellectual bests. I believe that children have exactly one chance at a good education track. A good tutor can hone skills that might...

...and I believe my track record as a tutor is an example of that. I have had the opportunity of engaging in the most unique mixture of peculiar, fun, and stimulating positions. My experience ranges from ESL classes with Somali refugee students in high school to Special Needs students in elementary school. I have also done some freelance tutoring intermittently for friends and family. All of these experiences have been contributed to my teaching style....

...Teachers College at Columbia University, and an MA in Teaching Adolescent Math from Pace University. My formal teaching experience began in 1999, when I managed and taught reading, writing, and math skills at a tutoring center. From there, I went on to graduate school, which I followed with two years teaching middle and high school math in New York City Public Schools. During graduate school, having scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect writing...

...at Middlebury, my professor told me that writing was not my strong suit. I was discouraged. Frustrated, even. But not to the point that I wanted to quit. Rather, I wanted to be better. I wanted to prove myself; to show my professor that I could, in fact, write. The rest of the story is rather anti-climatic. There was no inspired epiphany, when all the lights suddenly go on. It was more like turning the...
