Award-Winning Spanish Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

...I've been a tutor for 4 years in college settings, but also working with children and young adults. I worked as a college writing center tutor during my time in undergrad. After graduation, I worked as a private tutor with a fourth grade girl and a middle school boy--we worked on English, Math, Science, and Social Studies together, working from the Common Core curriculum. I believe in giving positive and constructive criticism, preferring a laid...

...drafting essays and lengthier papers for a variety of subjects, and helped my students to enhance their study skills. Tutoring soon became something I greatly enjoyed. I loved watching my students progress in their studies as they began to genuinely enjoy the learning process! Later in my career, I added Spanish as a subject that I tutored. I tutored students at the college level in Beginners and Intermediate Spanish. I was so happy to add...

...barbecue! I have tutored students ages K-4 all the way through college-bound SAT takers, both in and outside of formal classroom settings. Though my wide range of tutoring experiences has taught me to adapt to different learning styles and personalities, it has also left me with the understanding that every path to academic success begins with confidence and a positive attitude. My approach to teaching is based on positive reinforcement, encouragement, and the belief that...

...because of the support and encouragement of many of my teachers, I was able to see the potential they saw in me. They showed me that learning can be pleasurable and that success comes with determination where theres a will there is a way. I aspire to one day be a pediatrician.

I have been teaching for over 3 years. That is something I love to do and it is what I see myself doing for the rest of my life.

...skills to obtain what is one of my major goals: a PhD in Economics. There are two events through college that made me realize that in the future pedagogy as a College Professor could be one of my professions: teaching fellow classmates about a subject during group studies, and helping cousins via Skype with their homework. I personally believe that a person doesn't, solely, master a subject when he "aces" an exam, but when he...

Hello! I'm James Robotham, I've been teaching and tutoring for over three years now. The reason I teach is that there's nothing I enjoy more than helping YOU feel more confident with your studies, so you can go out and rock your classes and feel prepared. Let's get started.

I love helping people and enjoy assisting those in learning. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge and watching the look on someones face as they understand something they didn't before.... My teaching philosophy is to compare the topic at hand to something that is interesting to the student. If you can make it more fun or interesting to them, it will be easier to understand. They might even enjoy it!... I would assess how to...

...instructional goals daily. Likewise, I encourage my students to reflect upon their learning and identify areas of growth and areas where growth is still needed. I remind my students of the power of "yet"; that their work is a continual process of self-improvement, and not a finite determination of passing or failure. Understanding the myriad diversity in our student population, I value the cultural capital each student brings to the classroom and make every effort...

...to do the latter here in the academic realm. I have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Hofstra University and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from NYU-Poly. I am a licensed Professional Engineer as well as a Project Management Professional. I have been tutoring family and friends in a wide variety of subjects for 8 years. In the future, I am planning to become an educator at either the high school or collegiate level. Outside...

...at Seton Hall pursuing a degree in Diplomacy and International Relations with minors in Arabic and Journalism. I love empowering, inspiring, and teaching youth. I assisted with the teaching of four different summer camps from 2010 to 2016, helping children and students with English, math, science, art, and American culture. I am TEFL certified and have tutored adult immigrants in English since 2015. In my spare time, I write articles and dance.

...in Management Science and Engineering. I boast a strong background in math and science, but also excel in English and language (my minor). Having spent much of my youth in South America, I am fluent in Portuguese and English, which I have extensive experiencing tutoring students in. I am a firm believer in the importance of a robust education, and I hope I can help my students expand theirs. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...both in the classroom and outdoors. I can tutor reading, writing, Spanish language and environmental science. I enjoy editing and writing, so I would love to help with essay composition. I am a patient, organized and flexible instructor, who truly enjoys helping students succeed. I believe that everyone should be given the correct learning tools to reach their potential and I will do everything I can to meet each student's individual needs and cater to...

I read this quote at one point in my life and it just made sense to me and I feel it applies to most of the things we do in life. Never settle for failure always strive to succeed. "Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it." -Mia Hamm

...for students to think critically about the main ideas of the textbook. By establishing an interactive dialogue, the students and I derive examples and approaches that best fit with their learning style. I appreciate the honesty that students display when giving mathematical answers that need improvement; embracing struggles and mistakes presents another opportunity toward success. Lastly, during office hours I adapt my teaching style to provide individual help that fits the needs of the scholar....

I'm a recent transplant from Chicago after attending Northwestern University. When I'm not listening to rap or taking pictures of random strangers on the street with my film camera, I enjoy reading short stories. I've always been a visual learner that benefits from DOING... that means I don't want to lecture you during our sessions, but open the dialogue to have fruitful conversations rather than having you memorize and forget.

I entered the tutoring profession to help others achieve their full potential academically, professionally and personally. I believe that those three are interwoven because in order to succeed in one you have to strive and achieve in all. On a personal note I am an avid runner and reader. I enjoy the outdoors but I also enjoy those quiet moments after a busy day.... I believe in not only providing a sound theoretical basis when it...
