A Little Bit About Me...

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I ... read more

My comments on tutoring Government : I have published a 'Brief History of the United States" and have tutored many high school and college students in government and political science. I have run for and held public office, myself. I am patient and understanding.

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that incl ... read more

Social Studies Teacher with expertise in writing

I am very easy going but still goal oriented. I like to facilitate learning instead of just providing the information to you child. Setting the student on the right course to find the information on their own not only provides the student with accurate information but shows them how to be self sufficient which bolsters their confidence and a student.
I have 5 years working in school districts in the Philadelphia area. I recently finished student teacher at a middle school in Philadelphia. I am very knowledge in all aspects of history, geography, and government. I am very well written and well read and I can help provide support research and writing papers. This is specialty.

My comments on tutoring Government : This is part of what I do on a daily basis!

My teaching style depends on your learning style, but basically I believe in individualized instruction, offering guidance and lots of real-world examples, teaching students skills that will help them become autonomous or self-reliant and confident. I attempt to accommodate my students as much as possible and answer all questions that they may have.

My comments on tutoring Government : I'm very well-versed in both the United States system and a variety of parliamentary systems.

In working in the liberal arts fields, I try to link up the student's interests with the subject matter, looking for an approach that will link the content of the field to things that they care about. In the graphic arts, I favor a mastery learning approach that builds on foundational concepts and emphasizes both the learning of specific techniques and a problem-solving approach that makes someone more than just a button pusher.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe teaching others a skill or new information is a gift, to both myself and the student. When the light goes off in their head, and the "I got it!" look comes across their face, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I am very patient, and understand that each student learns at their own speed. Additionally, I know that each student is different, which will sometimes require a new teaching technique. I believe everyone can learn; sometimes it just takes the right teacher for the right student.
I was a teaching assistant for three of my four years at the University of Delaware. I taught courses, as well as tutored students and graded exams. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience in sciences and english, specifically biology and microbiology, as well as excellent grammar skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life.
I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style. I have taught home instruction and t ... read more

The most important part of teaching is to make content relevant to the student by using a student-centered approach that takes the student's skills, knowledge, and experience into consideration, and using that information to engage the student in the content area. My goal as a teacher is to help my students make these connections, to contextualize content areas and create deeper understandings. All students bring different skills, knowledge, and abilities to the classroom, so it's important for me to cater my approach to the characteristics of each student. In order to achieve this, I strive to develop a dialectical and trusting relationship with each student I encounter, and to get to know them both as learners and as people.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!) I have a collection of toys and noisemakers that I use in the classroom. My classroom is visually dynamic and inviting. My goal is for my students to enter to learn with smiles on their faces, and anticipation for learning something fascinating. I love to lead them to daily "Aha" moments of discovery. My sense of humor and use of cartoons maintains an involvement high. I strategize with my kids to examine the many different ways to learn, in appreciation of their various learning styles. My students are empowered to question and learn more than required. By building their trust in me, and knowing that I sincerely love being with them, true learning hap ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell products. If one method did not reach some of the students, I would go out of my way to create a lesson that involved these particular students. Multiple intelligences are ever so important because every student learns in a different.
I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery leve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve.

More About This Tutor...

I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who have problems focusing. In my time at the University of Pittsburgh I've learned different methods of tutoring peers. However, I do maintain one principle: positivity. No particular student will feel like they made any progress if they do not receive encouragement for their progress. When a student feels like they can observe their own progress, they feel better about themselves. My goal is to explain, encourage, and focus the student until they master the material.

As a graduate of Lehigh University, I am interested in helping others learn about the subjects that I had become well acquainted with. I have a BA in Anthropology which I believe makes me a great candidate to teach a broad array of subjects including reading and writing, history, art, and cultural studies. In addition I have taken many art and architecture classes which makes me an ideal candidate for a holistic learning experience.
As a young man I had several problems with math. It turns out that I was unable to visualize what the equations meant in abstract algebra and calculus. Eventually I was able to relate these concepts to subjects that I found interesting such as music and archaeology. Therefore creating more interest in the subjects that I gravitated to naturally. I believe that I could explain concepts to others in a way that suits their interests. At the end of the ... read more
