Sociology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alpha, IL

In 2007, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Drake University. Since then I began working as a case manager for people with disabilities. On the side of my job I have volunteered my tutoring skills to a few of my friends over the past couple years with classes like, biology, general chemistry, psychology, as well as physiology. Each person passed these classes with a B or better. With my background in science as well as working with people with disabilities for a living I believe that I can be a great tutor for any student. I love to work with pre-teen and teenage students who are determined. I feel that I can help them get a better understanding of the things they want to learn. Although I have no formal teaching skills, I love science and and willing to help anyone who wants to learn. Working with people with disabilities has helped me to discover my great teachi

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching. I am patient and energetic and I have a love for learning and teaching. I especially love to teach math, physics, and foreign language. As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, I taught Russian 101 to undergraduate students for two semesters. I also taught Russian 101 at the University of Virginia for two semesters as a teacher’s assistant. I taught English as a Second Language through Black Hawk College for two semesters, and I taught infants and toddlers at Best Beginnings preschool and child care center for 2 years and 5 months. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Russian Language and Literature, a master's degree in Russian Linguistics, a second m

I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process. I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.

I am committed to helping students achieve mastery of the writing process. Using direct instruction and excellent examples, I take students step-by-step towards building better sentences, paragraphs, and essays. I use rubrics and standards to provide the students with a framework and structure. Through practice, practice, practice, soon they are developing polished writing that meets high expectations of SAT tests and teachers. I am an author of many books. I have published a book for the trade market (in bookstores) as well as many books for the education market. Among the books I have written is a book for teachers about teaching writing to the high school student. I have more than 30 years experience in helping students be better writers. Additionally I have been a bylined columnist for a local paper and have been published in many newspapers across the country. I know how to

I enjoying helping people and especially children. I believe in the current society we live in today, it is essential for children to gain a good education and have role models to look up too. That is what I try to achieve when I tutor. I believe that anyone can learn anything if they are taught in the correct way. You have to relate and find a fun way to learn so the student can understand. I dont have alot of experience tutoring K-4 in history, but I am open to tutoring any student who wants to learn. As a MacMurray College graduate, I was hard working towards my area of studies and was driven to excel in any subject I was enrolled in. I was a double major and had a minor as well. My majors were History and Criminal Justice with a Psychology minor. I earned the History and Criminal Justice Department Awards at Graduation and I also Graduated with Honors in History scoring A marks in ev

I have earned two bachelor degrees in History and Geology. I am presently taking online courses at Western Governors University to attain my teaching certificate. Additionally, I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-8 since 2009. I've recently completed a long-term teaching assignment including preparing my own lesson plans. I have substitute taught in all types of environments including general education and special education as well as children with emotional disorders. I've served as a tutor for entry level geology courses during my undergraduate years and served as a Teaching Assistant in graduate school where I taught two environmental laboratories each semester. I firmly believe that children are able to learn and grasp concepts more easily by relating the lessons and information to their everyday lives. If the material is presented in a manner where students can recall past

I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the privileged of completing countless written assignments, scientific papers, and homework assignments. I have no experience in tutoring however, I enjoy teaching others what I have learned. My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provid

As an University of Iowa graduate I have always held education as a high value. I have dedicated my time to personally achieving excellence in education, as well as helping others do the same. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, a minor in Social Work and with a year and a half math experience at the college level. During the last couple years I was an Academic Mentor for a high school student at West High School in Iowa City and volunteered my time working with students to help improve their educational skills in West High School's Success Center. As a previous camp counselor I tutored students in an one-on-one and group setting to better their learning skills in preparation for the next school year. I truly enjoy working with all students. My past experiences of interacting with children has shown me all children have the ability to learn, but learn at differ

I love teaching. I us a guiding method of teaching. Because I believe that students learn the most when they do the work themselves, but sometimes they need someone there to motivate them or to guide them in the right direction. I feel this works in group studies also, but, the difference being is that all the student will be involved in a group discussion. I am a student that has a drive of excellence. I graduated from Northern Ill. Univ in 2010, as cum laude. I hold a B.S. in BioChemistry. I have experience as a tutor, which I obtained while as a student at NIU. I would tutor other students with in the chemistry, math, and biology departments.

As an experienced K-12 substitute teacher, my work extended from the inner city to the county schools. I had the opportunity to instruct students with various ability levels and learning styles. During the 2008-2009 school term I served as an AmeriCorps VISTA in a middle school working as tutor, special projects assistant, and mentor. I hold a BS degree in Sociology and expect to earn a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction in 2010. Graduate school taught me to converse on every level; to write research papers, essays, and content specific lesson plans that conform to IL Learning Standards. With joy I will employ technology aids to teach and adapt instruction to each individual, situation or learning environment. Teaching and learning is deeply rooted in my being, children are my joy, and I truly believe all are capable of learning. I use a constructivist approach to teaching, and believe
