Working with children is a passion of mine that I wish to eventually turn into a full time career. I have been described as creative, enthusiastic, animated, engaging, and very friendly.

...reflects that. My teaching philosophy is simple: find out who your student is, and teach them. Just them. They are the most important person in the room, focus on just what they need. Outside of teaching, I love leading crafting classes at my local libraries, knitting, reading, TV, movies, exploring new foods and places, and dogs. My favorite things to do include walking my dog, read, or create art with stained glass or knitting.... No two...

...passionate about French as well as teaching, and I aspire to be a French professor after graduating. I am fully prepared to help anyone from the lowest level to a very advanced one, with the language (reading, writing, speaking) as well as the culture (delving into classic French Literature and cultural differences). Additionally, I have spent a lot of time around Math and am prepared to teach any level between basic and higher level high...

I first discovered tutoring in my Junior year of undergraduate studies when peers would come to me for assistance with writing and psychology. Moving through my graduate education and doctoral studies, I continued to seek out opportunities to teach and encourage others to learn. I have a student-centered teaching approach that is customized to your learning style. I look forward to working with you to achieve success in education!

...programs too. I do love teaching... that's why I can't seem to leave it. These days I'm employed as a paraprofessional at Middletown High School. I spend a lot of my spare time with my grandson, Joshua, who is 13 years old and a total delight. He never fails to make me smile. He attends middle school in Glastonbury where he is an A student and football player. I look forward to attending his games...

...and I enjoy helping others perform to the best of their ability on these sometimes stressful exams. As a tutor, I strive to keep students engaged by employing a more hands-on approach to learning. I aim to minimize time spent "lecturing" and instead focus on working together with students to solve problems. I've found tutoring sessions to be most productive when students remain actively involved in the learning process. I played soccer through college and...

...simple: each student learns in their own way and it is the responsibility of a teacher/tutor to determine how a student learns, determine their needs and create lessons that the student will feel successful in completing while fostering their unique learning styles. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, taking my dog for long walks and curling up on the porch with a good book or the...

I currently teach in a self-contained kindergarten classroom in a public school as a special education teacher. Prior to this, I taught pre-k inclusion and first grade. I love working with children and seeing them get excited for their own learning. When I tutor children, I use their interests and strengths to create fun games and activities to help them develop their literacy and math skills.

...math puzzles, logic games, and crossword puzzles that I work on constantly. I never get tired of playing with numbers and words, and I like to bring that enthusiasm to my teaching. Outside of math and logic, I like to read. I love music -- playing and listening to it. And I always try to catch some good movies. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially playing with my two kids.

...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 provide them with a great tutoring experience!

...who are younger and also students who are in college and I greatly enjoy working with any topics within mathematics. My favorite math topics to tutor are pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, but I like to work with all other topics as well. I choose to tutor because I would like to make a difference in the lives of the students I work with and help them, just as others have helped me throughout my...

...to my difference, I have had to apply many different strategies and techniques to figure out which works best for me. I can relate to students who are struggling academically and have formed close bonds with many of the students I have worked with. I feel all students can learn and will learn if provided the right tools and strategies to succeed in their educational career. I would love to be a part of helping...

...while also developing language skills. I have also tutored individuals in French and English, primarily aiding them after school with homework help, but also teaching new and more challenging concepts to keep them ahead of their class. As someone who was tutored in math all throughout high school, I can really relate to both sides of the tutoring process! I am a very patient and dedicated individual and I am committed to understanding your child's...

...functions and how everything interacts. History I enjoy attempting to understand how certain events happened and how those events shaped the future. In general I enjoy understanding how something works at the basic level because I think it gives me a better understanding of things further down the line; whether that be understanding how a cell functions in an organism or how we pronounce certain letters to form a word. I think that the key...

...a student learn a challenging topic or strategy. I am a very creative person and love creating manipulatives and differentiations for my students that are based on their own learning style (whether it is visual, kinesthetic, etc.) I am currently a Teaching Assistant in a 12:1:1 setting and I volunteer my free time to my High School Varsity Cheerleading team coaching. Lastly I am Red Cross certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I look...

...how to use those methods to improve their own writing. I find the history of our country and our planet to be amazing and have developed projects that make learning about it more interesting. I must admit that like many students, I hated math growing up, but somehow math found its way into my heart (throughout my ten years of teaching) and it refuses to leave! When I am not teaching, I am swimming, dancing,...

...real world problems - this is why I chose to major in what I did. Because I usually tutor in Math, I often tutor in the style of showing how to do a few problems step by step, and then having the student try a few more difficult problems, asking questions along the way. I do this because in my experience, this is the best way to learn and prepare for Math related exams. Outside...

...creative writing to journalism and op-ed content. I already had experience clarifying sentences, helping writers develop a unique written voice, and keeping writing concise and precise, but through The Justice I learned how to find and support a strong argument, recognize logical fallacies in one's own thinking as well as in others, and conduct thorough, accurate and credible research. I also learned the AP's grammatical style guides inside and out, though remain a devotee of...

I have found that, by spending time with a student, I am able to identify...
