Political Science + Sociology + International Relations

I have recently completed a four-year Bachelors degree in Political Science from Indiana University. I also have obtained a minor in Sociology from Indiana. My primary focus has been International foreign policy with a focus on U.S - Russian relations. I have extensive experience with leading and designing group activities that encourage and facilitate learning.
My Teaching Style is extremely flexible -- I encourage active learning and believe that learning through experience can be a powerful method of solidifying knowledge. I am patient as well as an avid listener and will do my very best to understand what works for the student.

Sociology is one of my top subjects! I offer group tutoring for Introduction to Sociology and for Social Science Research Methods. If demand exists, I can tutor for several other sociology courses.

I have taught Introduction to Sociology at Butler University and have 5 years experience as a teaching assistant for Sociological Methods courses at Indiana University, Indianapolis. As a teaching assistant, I ran weekly group tutoring sessions, 'cram' sessions as needed, and final exam preparation sessions.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned that the best way to teach is to let the student know how much you enjoy the subject and then work to make them feel the same way. I also know that you cannot predict what methods will be best for all people. I prepare extensivesly with sample tests, worksheets, as well as fun learning activities. When it comes to the tutoring session, I am not uptight about my style, I can sense when a method is or is not working and then use any or all of the methods that help the student retain the knowledge. When that happens, you know that there will not be much of a need for you anymore, but it is a great feeling to help someone enjoy learning as much as I do personally.
I have tutored students for many of the college science classes. I have also been a tutor for an elementary school in Bloomington. I am also an experienced test prep tutor, having helped students prepare fo ... read more

I have been teaching for twenty-nine years in subjects of English, Literature, Art History, Drawing, World Civilization, and the Humanities. I have earned three degrees, a BA in Social Sciences/English, a MH in Humanities, and a PhD in Fine Arts, which have enabled me to teach a variety of areas. Throughout my teaching career I have taught research, essays, and grammar skills. For the past year, I have tutored students in English and Social Studies in the AVID Tutoring Program at Indianapolis Public Schools.
Teaching is a calling which I have loved all my life for which a variety of techniques and strategies are required as each child learns differently. Adaptability, love of learning and children, organization, patience, knowledge, and consideration are all necessary qualities to be a good professor, teacher, or tutor. Good educators do make a world of difference in the proce ... read more

While I enjoy working with a younger population, I have had more experience with middle school, high school, and college students. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also expect that my students perform the tasks asked of them in the time given, as to further reach our goals. I have a descriptive way of teaching, but I am also a firm believer in using abstract methods in order to obtain and understanding. Visual aids can also be very helpful, such as using pictures, every-day items, or a chemistry model set.
As a graduate of a 'Public Ivy' institution, I have had a very well-rounded and intensive education. I earned two degrees from IU: a BA in Spanish and a BS in Biology and Chemistry. My experience involves subjects such as: Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry (General and Organic), Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Physics. I have had many s ... read more

I am a very patient and considerate person which I believe aids in helping all types of students. I try to help the students find their own success without spelling everything out for them. I believe that I can make even the smallest difference in a student's educational pathway.
I am a recent graduate from Kent State University and have a combination of two very different subject areas. I have earned a BS in Biology (Molecular Concentration) and a Minor in Spanish. My minor in spanish has aided greatly in my overall grammatical skills and writing research papers. A few science classes that I have taken that shows the variety of subjects are:Cell Biology, General Microbiology, Vertebrate Anatomy, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Organic Evolution and Writing in the Biological Science. Over the past two years I have been a mentor/tutor for the Science Learning Community at Kent State ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have four years experience as an Associate Instructor of Political Science and Political Philosophy at the college level. In this capacity I frequently tutored students individually, helping them to grasp complicated concepts. Many students struggled more with the basics of term paper writing than the material itself. I was able to help them improve their academic writing skills significantly.
Students learn better when they see the relevance of the material they are studying to their own lives. In many subject areas this relevance is not obvious, and students may tune out as a result. I always use concrete examples that students can relate to when explaining a concept. For example, when discussing paternalism with college students I will often cite government regulation of tobacco and alcohol use to illustrate how the concept translates into laws that directly affect them. I ... read more
