...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 not have been properly nurtured in the usual academic setting. I've been teaching and tutoring in many different situations...

...beyond with a focus on real comprehension. I want my instructors and teachers to meet me at my level and bring to theirs by communicating ideas effectively, and so I bring that same attitude to each session. In my spare time I read (a lot!), journal, volunteer, and exercise. I believe the efforts of education go beyond the classroom and into our personal lives and I try my best to take care of my whole...

...pastry shops were amazing and the food absolutely delicious. I go back to Europe as often as possible. I enjoy traveling and lived in Europe for nearly four years. Each time I travel, I make sure I do something I really enjoy such as horseback riding, hiking, roller blading, ice skating, snow boarding, or running. I also enjoy the arts and visit the museums, concerts, and the theater. Musically, I play the violin and tinker...

...grade and am in my 8th year working in education. I love incorporating various materials and hands-on, fun approaches to learning. If it's clever and fun you will remember! The more the material is connected to daily living the more we invest ourselves and are willing to work for it. I also think a sense of humor is extremely helpful to learning-I will make any student smile which sets an upbeat tone for the session!...

My senior thesis, written about some of the first women to pursue higher education in the United States, was recently published in the Fordham Undergraduate Research Journal. I am also pursuing a law degree, which will help me further my goals to advocate for children and promote educational reform. In my spare time, I love spending time...

...along the way. Most importantly I try to make a connection with my students by listening to them carefully so that I can fully address their specific needs and devise an individualized program of study for them. I find that humor is often a great pathway to making a personal connection and establishing trust. My husband and I own an instructional baseball business where, in addition to helping students perfect their baseball skills, we mentor...

...I also believe that anyone can learn to do anything as long as he or she puts in the time. The only way I got better at writing is by writing more. And writing about the things that matter to me (which was and is basketball). Slowly, I established my voice, my style, and before I noticed, I became a writer. And it was Professor Ganley who recommended me to be tutor, told me, "You...

...been affiliated with the America Reads Program. This work-study program has trained me in effective tutoring strategies that I have used to assist struggling readers at Sea Cliff Elementary and Deasy Elementary School. 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. My approach requires me to not only develop a relationship with...

...methods authors use to keep my interest and show my students 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...

...field experience in diverse Long Island school districts, I observed engaging lessons and had the privilege of observing the administration and grading of the English Regents Exam. As President and Co-Founder of the Stony Brook Book Club, I led weekly discussions and created a comfortable and intellectually stimulating environment. As a teaching assistant in the Massapequa Public Schools Summer Music Program, I taught students new skills and concepts while encouraging their continued growth. I believe...
