American History is one of my top subjects! History is one of our greatest learning tools. We can see the mistakes of the past and guide future generations to avoid making those mistakes again.

I go with the styles that fit the student. I generally use the first couple of visits to assess what works best for the student and then work with the student in a calm and patient yet firm manner. I do not try to force results, every student learns differently and has different aptitudes. Therefore, it wiser not to push the student too hard for results, rather I push myself to find new and inventive ways to help students learn the material.
Took three years of college courses on Psychology at Ashford University, trained with a Computer Troubleshooting Specialist for four years, have two books of my own written word poetry published. In my time at Ashford I picked plenty of shareable skills, study skills, time management, and using my keyboard to it's fullest potential to meet deadlines.

My comments on tutoring American History : I can help with High School or College American History, including Civil War and Reconstruction.

I have done private tutoring of high school students in math from pre-algebra to calculus and in other subjects. I have also home schooled adopted daughters from lower grades to high school level, including teaching English as a second language. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in an electric machinery laboratory for non-electrical engineering majors. My own experience with standardized tests includes having taken the ACT in 1971 with scores ranging from 22 (76th percentile) in English to 31 (97th percentile) in math with a composite of 27 (93rd percentile) and having passed the GRE in 1975. Other previous experience includes 34 years experience as a communication system engineer. This experience includes satellite communications and other communications for the US military, NASA, FAA, and commercial customers. Antennas and radio propagation were special areas of profe ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with children. All children can learn, as I see it. Learning should be enjoyable, and something a child is eager to do. Some simply feel overwhelmed, and need to have subjects simplified and to be inspired to want to learn. In today's world, some subjects initially seem too complex. I am available to help your child feel inspired and to feel a sense of satisfaction in learning. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I strive to find ways to simplify something a child finds difficult and frustrating. I believe a good educator can make a profound difference in a child's education.
I am a retired US Coast Guard officer with twenty three years service, now holding a Bachelor of Science degree. I initially studied electrical engineering for two years, including chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and earned two year degree in mathematics and history. ... read more

I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.
I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages, especially at the elementary and middle school level. I know that my job is not done until the student I am tutoring fully understands the subject matter. I believe students learn best through exploring the material at their own pace and applying life experiences to the material at hand. When I am teaching students I am both patient and considerate, as I know that the material can be difficult to learn.
During my years in High School, I participated in various programs that involved tutoring students in reading and language arts. I have also tutored friends and family throughout the years in reading, math, and history. As a current student at the University of South Florida I help fellow classmates with homework as often as I can. I currently hold my AA from Manatee Community College and will graduate from USF with my BA in Dec ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a long and varied background in the educational field. I earned a master’s degree in elementary education in 1970 and a second master’s degree in adult education in 2007. I taught elementary grades in the New York City school system for six years. I was a college administrator for 20 years at for-profit, career colleges. Throughout that time, my main concern was student learning, comprehension and implementation.
The specialization for my second master’s degree in Adult Education was Teaching and Learning. The focus was learning styles. Therefore, I am well aware of the different learning styles that each individual utilizes to learn and comprehend. Learning is facilitated when that specific learning style is identified and then implemented. Every student has the ability to learn. However, we all learn differently and at different rates. Once the learning style is identifie ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that knowledge is one of the most important facet in developing a successful life. One of my favorite joys is to see another person learn something new and to make use of that knowledge in his life or career. Without education one is severely handicapped in the development of becoming a complete person. Education is the key. Realizing that people are all different, I am flexible in my teaching methods, slowing down or speeding up my delivery and/or the complexity of the material with each student. I believe that course development should be goal-oriented so that when the student progresses to successful completion of that goal, there is a sense of achievement.
I served 20 years in the Navy, and during that period earned my BS Degree. Many of my assignments were in development and institution of training programs including Equal Opportunity/Race Relations, Leadership and M ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeable teacher, who got results with the majority of students I worked with. I am an outgoing, friendly person, who understands that students learn at different degrees, but that all students can improve - with the help of teachers, family and community.
I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district. I have taught primarily at the high school level, and during that time, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.
Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I enjoy working with junior high, high school, and college level students. I am able to communicate material that will encourage the student to be analytical and draw conclusions on his or her own, especially for subjects in the social sciences. I like to encourage students to explore and learn on their own, seeking out material that challenges their natural talents.
I first used my teaching skills while acting as a tour guide at the Astor House Museum in Golden, Colorado. I enjoyed communicating with school groups the history of the house museum, which was once a hotel back in the 19th century for travelers heading out to California to seek their fortune in gold. I presently work at Rosetta Stone and enjoy using my linguistic knowledge as a language consultant to help those interested in learning to speak a foreign language.

I am patient, and understanding. I will not give up on any child they are our future. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the riht tools and education.

I have strong desire and passion to work with children! I have a very positive and enthusiastic approach using differentiated instruction, Kagan Cooperative Learning strategies, and Bloom's Higher Order Thinking. I make learning fun for all children by finding out what interests them and develop my lessons around that.
As a student at the University of South Florida, I was required to complete three levels of internships. In my last internship, I was in complete charge of the class. I used assessments to plan my lessons, seeing if I could go on to the next lesson or needed to review. I am a very enthusiastic teacher, and I have had several of my interning teachers, students, and cooperating teachers tell me that I make learning fun. In addition to my BS degree, I have had experience tutoring co-workers and friends in high school algebra and college algebra. Lastly, I am a basketbal ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Upon graduating from Queens College I obtained a position as a middles school science teacher in New York’s Spanish Harlem. After 2 ½ years of dealing with extremely difficult and dangerous situations I decided to move on to take various careers in industry. In 1985 I became the field service representative for NEC America. As a field service representative I traveled around the United States giving seminars to electronic technicians on how to service and repair NEC’s cellular equipment. In 1989 with the birth of my first child I became a full time Mr. Mom. When my two children were old enough I returned to teaching as a Varsity Soccer Coach and Substitute Teacher in Florida’s Charlotte County Public School system. I feel very confident substituting for teachers of Social Studies, English, and Science grades 5-12. For more than 30 years I have been studying the classical guitar. I ... read more

Even though I hold a business degree I have always had a love for working with children. As a college student I worked for two different families as a nanny, where I assisted a total of five children with their school work and projects among other things. After obtaining my BS in Finance from the University of Central Florida I went on to get married and work in a bank. It was shortly after that when I realized that my real passion was with children. When I became pregnant I left my banking position to be a stay at home mom. Since then I have had four children and currently subsitute teach for Sarasota County School Board.
I love working with children and seeing them get excited to learn new information. I feel that all children are very capable of learning, just some need that extra one on one attention that is not possible to receive in a classroom setting. I love that loo ... read more

I been a school teacher for 20 years and have dedicated my life to this career. As an instructor at St.James Academy, I earned the teacher of the year award. At Kent State University,I earned a Bachelor Of Science degree in Education.Currently,I attend Edison State College to further my education.
I enjoy teaching and working with children. Administrators and principles often told me that they cannot see me working at any other profession. Having a good repoire with the students enables them to ask questions more freely. Thus, breaking the barriers between student and teacher. Children learn differently,thus a variety of teaching methods must be used.I will always be patient and make the student feel comfortable.As an educator, I will always try make a difference in the life of a child.
