Award-Winning AP US History Tutors serving Albany County, NY

...I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts. As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to...

...recognizing that there are different learning styles. I've emphasized reading, writing, including constructive responses, thematic and document based essays and papers, and critical thinking skills. I also believe and instilled in my students the belief that not always being a "natural" standardized "test taker" does not mean that one cannot still be successful on one's quizzes, tests, and writing assignments, whether on a 7-12th grade or college level. In addition to learning one's course's curriculum,...

...and succeed in an academic setting. I first began substitute teaching in the 1990s and felt like I was really making an impact on students' motivation to learn.

Soon thereafter, I began working for a private company as a tutor for students with special needs, as well as those with English as their second language (in reading, writing, and math)....

...use real life examples and help my students learn the best way they know how to learn. I was patient with them and I took time to figure out their personalities in order to assess how to help them learn more efficiently. I think tutoring is more than trying to help a student pass a class or do some homework; its trying to teach them how to learn better in anything they take on. Later...

...a "v" and scream "yes!"... or simply says "yay" in subdued, Monty Python kind-of-way. I have an undergraduate degree in computer graphics and interactive media from Pratt Institute (2003) and a master degree in electronic art from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2015). My favorite subjects to tutor are highschool math, C#, and python for data science. I find comfort in the structured logic of math and programming. It gives me the illusion that our existance can...

...teaching a variety of subjects for over ten years. As the Director of Education at a museum, I build curriculum, and created programs to bring local history to schools in my area as a traveling and on-site teacher.

...love sharing my knowledge with people in a fun and engaging way. I love explaining topics through a variety of interactive and interesting methods.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I have taught middle level social studies for seven years in three different districts in upstate New York. However, I also have an ongoing interest and expertise in upper level social sciences, having majored in history, not education. I also consider myself an expert in historical writing and editing, specifically document based and thematic essays.

...a measure for how much they are learning. Most teachers don't like to be asked why students have to know math or grammar or history and so on; to me, there is no better or more important question. My tutoring sessions are conversations. We ask each other questions about the material, and I help guide the discussion so that it will help the student understand how the topic is mastered.
