New York Tutors

Discipline and practice are the keys to help students success in learning. Learning is not only fulfilling homework assignment but a process that will benefit you the rest of your life.
I believe that education is a great tool to help children understand the ethics of life, and develop a clear conscience about the rights and wrongs of the world. I am certain that there is a bright child in every child, and that every child has his/her own potential. As a teacher, my aim will be to explore each child’s strengths and inspire him/her to challenge his/her weaknesses.
Every child has the capability to learn and master a skill. It is about appealing to their learning style and making the experience positive and fun. Learning is something that should be valued and enjoyed no matter what the circumstances the child is facing. Education should be in the hands of the student, with support from not only the teacher, but the parents as well. Setting obtainable goals with them and giving the tools to meet them creates memorable educational moments.

The population is of Syracuse is approximately 145,000 making it the fifth most populated city in the state of New York.

Syracuse was also rated the fourth best city in the United States to raise a family by Forbes.

The city of Syracuse was originally founded as a collection of smaller villages and grew due to the first Solvay Process Company plant being founded in the area. Eventually, this industry was overtaken in size by the automotive and steel industries, which contributed even more jobs, leading to further growth of the city.

Chalk Talk: Considering Colleges

Picking the right college or university is more than just choosing a name. Of course, the most important factor is the field you plan on studying. A small liberal arts college may not have the engineering program you’re looking for. Start by finding the program you want, and then consider other factors, such as the size and location of the school. Urban schools often have a lot of commuters and may not have a lot of on-campus activities, while schools in more rural areas offer more in the way of campus life. A private or smaller school may have 5,000 or fewer students, while a larger state school may have well over 30,000. What about sports teams? A Big 10 school will have a far different collegiate atmosphere than a smaller liberal arts school. If you get into a school and realize the size or location is not what you were expecting and you feel overwhelmed (or underwhelmed), talk to your Resident Advisor (RA) or admissions counselor immediately.
