...at the Hofstra University Summer Camps teaching computer applications. In addition, I have been a supplemental education provider, an SAT proctor and prep class teacher, and currently teach chess to first- through fifth-graders. I enjoy words, word games, reading, mathematics, discovering new things, staying in shape, and sharing what I have learned with others. I am a fan of classic television sit-coms, music from various genres, and my often-hapless yet always-loved New York Mets. I...

...Japan to China. Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class to top.

...years and every year brings new challenges. In an effort to meet these challenges, I recently attended Dowling College and gained my Professional Certificate in Students with Disabilities. I truly believe that every student has the ability to learn and that they each learn differently. It is the responsibility of the educator to find the best way to inspire his or her students to learn and then guide them along in the process. I like...

...the higher-grade levels. In general one of my favorite aspects about tutoring is helping kids fall in love with reading and writing by improving their skills and confidence in this area particularly by engaging their interests. Another aspect I love about tutoring, is working with students who have learning differences and other special needs. I myself have struggled throughout my life with learning differences so I understand on a personal level both the challenges and...

I have had the pleasure of teaching/tutoring high school and college students from diverse backgrounds for more than seven years, covering standardized test such 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...

...to tell quickly how a particular student thinks and best learns, and from there I can either make the lessons more game-like or memory based. In every case, I approach the subject or concerning area from the most basic root and build from there. I have been working with children since middle school which made me a very patient tutor in college. Aside from helping my classmates, I formally worked as an English tutor through...

...your young learner in the material involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely,...

...and reach understanding with others. As a college student, I am paid to tutor Accounting and teach entrepreneurship and often find myself running study groups among peers.

What motivates me is the success of my tutees. Everybody needs help once in a while, and there is no...

I do my best to make learning fun, interactive and positive for children.

...to ensure that students were indeed grasping lessons during our limited contact.

I reduced my tutoring responsibilities to pursue an opportunity as Manager of Academic Programs for Junior Achievement, a world-famous nonprofit organization that teaches financial literacy, workplace readiness, and entrepreneurship. Training thousands of New York City students made...

As a tutor and aspiring teacher, I believe that all students have the capacity to learn, though each processes information differently. My goal is to assist my students in identifying their personal learning style(s) and use this knowledge to build their confidence and academic skills. I intend to personalize lessons so that students can view learning as a valuable opportunity rather than as a chore.... All people have the ability to learn and grow. It is...

...Special Education from NYU. As an elementary teacher, I understand how important it is for students to get that individual attention that they may not always get in the classroom (despite their teacher's best intentions). In classrooms these days, it is easy for a child to slip back and not reach their fullest potential--not with me! I am fully dedicated to make sure that each of my students reaches their highest potential, no matter where...

...fields and I bring this to my students. Patience comes from my naturally calm demeanor, and my strong desire to help my students understand the materials in front of them. It also comes from knowing that everyone learns at their own pace, and that everyone can learn any concept, if given the proper opportunity. Reliability reflects my ability to let my students know they can count on me to help them advance in their studies....
