Everyone Can Learn!
- $40 / h
- Feura Bush , New York ( 12067 )
- 15 miles
Hello, I have been in education for many years, and have raised four grown children. Over the years as a tutor, teacher, adjunct instructor, and an academic advisor, I can honestly say with conviction that every student has the ability to learn. As Howard Gardiner suggests, we all have multiple intelligences. I believe it is the responsibility of the tutor and teacher to determine each student's specific learning style, and teach to this intelligence. With my background in psychology... Read more

Adam
Math nerd with a passion to teach others!
I love to help others and I found that tutoring is one of the best ways for me to achieve that. In high school, I always volunteered to help struggling peers after class. Then, I was hired by the Higher Education Opportunity Program at my college, where I was employed to help six students for an entire semester. I began tutoring independently upon graduation and haven't stopped since! I have helped: children as young as 6 years old, elderly students taking online classes, individuals with lea... Read more

Joseph
Full-time lecturer at the U of Albany in the writing program
I've been teaching composition and literature for ten years now--it never gets tiring. The truth is that I've always enjoyed the concept of transferring knowledge. It's exciting to see a student begin to understand a difficult concept. As a full-time lecturer in the Writing & Critical Inquiry program at the University at Albany, I am specially trained to help students learn to write more clearly and precisely. Every student, however, does not achieve the same goals in the same time. It is imp... Read more
