Award-Winning Tutors in Greenwich, CT for Students in Special Education Programs

My goal is to support student learning according to their individual needs and to help them to feel successful in a supportive way. Learning must be presented in a positive way.

...ask me general inquiries like, "What does the teacher want to see," or "What is the best way to succeed in the course?" Outside of my career as a student, I have also been heavily involved with children with special needs. A few summers ago, I was an assistant teacher at Otsar Early Childhood Center, a preschool catering to children with developmental delays. I am currently working at the Rebecca School, a school for children...

I am currently a fourth grade teacher in Harlem. I live in Astoria, Queens. I have been teaching for five years and I am very passionate about teaching. I have taught math, reading, writing, science and social studies at the elementary level and am certified to teach special education as well.

My goal is to not just increase the grade in a subject, but increase knowledge ,understanding, and even interest in the subject. Too often students are being lost to boring lectures they are unable to relate to, it is my goal to find these students and bring back passion and interest to school. I plan to get my masters in both education and classics, and hope to help create a better education system that will...

...self-confidence, creating a safe space that fosters trusting, accepting, and meaningful relationships, and helping students to achieve personal best. I will achieve these goals in my sessions by devoting my time, both inside and outside of the session, to my students, and making lasting educational experiences. I also plan to make content culturally relevant so that the students are engaged and feel not only connected to their learning experiences but that they see themselves as...

...courses traditionally considered irksome by bringing the subject matter to life. English is one of my favorite subjects to tutor. Enhancing critical reading and writing skills helps students to succeed in many academic areas, as well as further on in their professional lives. The most rewarding aspect of being a tutor is watching students gain confidence in themselves as they start to see their hard work pay off. My style incorporates organization and goal-setting in...

...I was able to teach Shakespeare to local high school students. We discussed the text both as literature and performance; this opened up the language, made it accessible, and fun! I will be tutoring in Literature and writing amongst other similar subjects. I love literature because it can open up new worlds. Within the pages of a novel, a person is exposed to character and history. So much is wrapped up in a book's binding....

...I currently work at an after school program that teaches children Science through hands on experiments. I am passionate about teaching both Biology and Mathematics and feel that every student should learn to not only understand the subjects, but enjoy the learning experience. I make sure to have a series of activities and examples (usually a hands on activity) that will help a student understand the concepts behind their problems and make sure to personalize...

...several years. I love working with kids, and have experience tutoring middle school students in Spanish, tutoring high school students in the ACT and SAT Verbal sections, guiding students through essay writing, and have worked with children with learning and behavioral disabilities, including those with ADHD and on the Autism spectrum. I believe in a patient, hardworking approach to test-taking and subject help. I am a strong proponent of open communication and active collaboration. I...

I believe every student has the power within himself to learn and succeed. There is no "one size fits all" approach to education.

I am a dedicated bilingual (English and Spanish) science educator. I believe science is a way of life, not just a subject. It helps guide us in our decisions and how they affect those around us.

Future Teacher. I want to make learning fun!

...as SAT, ACT, and GRE as well as high school and college math and science courses. I believe that effective teaching is not about transfer of knowledge from instructor to student but rather providing an interactive learning environment that motivates students to be active and fully engaged in their education. I understand the importance of not only learning the material well but translating that education into demonstrable performance on time sensitive exams. I will help...

...Mr. Feynman!' His nervous presentation on the Wheeler-Feynman theory to Einstein et al. led me to Feynman's work in quantum electrodynamics, detailed in his book 'QED: The strange theory of light and matter'. His invention of, and refusal to discard, his innovative yet controversial Feynman diagrams allowed for a simple visualization of what would otherwise have been a complex model. For me this prompts the question: if we are to continually revolutionise scientific knowledge, what...

...as a writing tutor all four years. Through the writing center there, I gained a national Tutor I certificate. Throughout my student teaching, I worked in resource rooms, general education classrooms, and schools for behaviorally at-risk students. Since graduating, I also taught my own class of twenty pre-school students for six months. Throughout these opportunities, I loved the common factor of helping others grasp and appreciate new concepts. I spend my free time playing with...

I am a undergraduate nursing student at Lehman College. I am passionate about helping people, and it is a part of the reason I want to become a doctor. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York I am so grateful for my teachers and tutors who've helped me make it to where I am now. I want to do the same and help students and reassure them that it'll all be worth it...

...working as an OT, but as a tutor as well. The types of careers that interest me are all in the "helping" field, which I feel is directly related to tutoring and the success of the clients. Throughout high school I tutored both classmates and younger students and enjoyed each and every session that brought the students closer to success. I learned that not every student learns the same way and what works for one...

...at a high school in Manhattan. I love my job and couldn't ask to be teaching anywhere else. My students are some of the brightest and hardest working kids I know and I truly enjoy going into work each day. I grew up in Rochester, New York. Some of my interests include listening to music, playing/watching football and basketball with friends (Go Bills and Bulls!), and spending time with my friends and family.... As an educator,...

...Students With Disabilities, my duty has been to ensure the success of all students under my charge. I've been very adamant about advocating for better placement, accommodation, and services for all students, as SPED pedagogy is not only beneficial to SPED students, but general students as a whole. I have been mindful of the 60/40 Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) compliance compositions, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) setting compliance, and above all, delivery of services by a SPED...
