Sociology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cape Porpoise, ME

Being a recent graduate of a university I am able to relate to students and understand the academic setting. I enjoy teaching and am motivated to help students achieve results in the form of grades and understanding. I think each student has their own learning style and finding that is important to the teaching process. As a recent graduate of a high ranking tech school with my BS in Business Administration and Materials Engineering I am very familiar with the academic setting and learning styles of various students. My areas of study require me to be familiar with high level mathematics and science in addition to an understanding of communication skills in both technical writing, such as lab reports, and business communication techniques. Throughout my academic career I was constantly tutoring my peers and have many years of formal and informal experience as a peer tutor.

My teaching style is student centered based upon their individual learning styles. I am a holistic grader who is able to reach and teach even the most difficult student, such as those who have acquired "learned helplessness". I have the wonderful ability of getting to know my students so that my lessons are based upon their interests. I have been tutoring for 17 years for all ages and levels. I have tutored both in and out of an academic setting, both in schools and at the students home.

Improving the lives of children has always been a passion of mine. While my academic background has had a focus, primarily, in the social work realm, my overall philosophy for working with youth emphasizes patience and education. I have sought opportunities working with both young children and adolescents. My interest began when I tutored elementary age children during my high school career. Since then, my experiences range from being a school social worker, to teaching anger management group therapy to adolescents, to encouraging education among the youth in my community. My academic interests lie across all subjects, but I have always had a particular fondness for mathematics. I believe that education is the most efficient way to combat any issue. I, therefore, feel that it is essential for youth to find success throughout their academic journey. I approach work with youth from

When I tutored sixth-graders in 2000, I found it to be very rewarding. The students in Lowell came from varying backgrounds with different levels of proficiency in English. I was able to help them improve their reading and writing skills, as well as their mathematical skills. I am a compassionate, patient, caring person, and I feel the students responded well to this demeanor. I strive to make a positive difference in each student's life. As a liberal arts graduate in 1981 with a BA in sociology, magna cum laude, I was driven to achieve a level of excellence in my academic career. I have always loved school, and I have done well in all areas that I have studied. In 2003, I decided to pursue an associates degree in Veterinary Technology because of my love for animals. However, after giving this field several years of my life, I decided to move on. I would like to work in a field w

Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though it is important to engage all different types of learners and to make them feel as if the classroom is a place where everyone is safe and included. I have worked extensively in the past with children that have Autism. I believe that all children, despite any disability, are capable of being successful students as long as they are given the right tools and the support that is necessary. Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter. I hold an Associates of Applied Science in Community Service and Leadership and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduated Summ

I am a very honest, laid back teacher. I ask a lot of my students, but I do not do so in an intimidating manner. I like to have conversations with my students about things which they don't even realize are related to the topic we are working on. My extensive experience with special needs students has taught me how to get through to students who may not necessarily want to do the work they are being asked to do. I believe this is my strongest asset as a potential tutor in your program. I have worked with students who are eager, yet want to learn, and I have worked with students who want nothing to do with school as well. I believe that all children respond to somebody who is honest and outgoing with them - someone who is willing to give of themselves, rather than simply asking the student to do all of the giving. The greatest compliment I have ever received was when a special education

I feel I am qualified to be a tutor due to my current and previous teaching experiences in elementary and middle school, as well as, the successful completion of hands-on educational courses in History, Math, Language Arts, and Science from my graduate program. In addition to the course work through my graduate program, I have had several long-term teaching positions in which I gained even more experience in classrooms. Most of my long-term teaching positions allowed me to teach Science, Mathematics, and Language Arts and create numerous hands-on learning experiences. I strongly believe that it is through these hands-on experiences that students are able to grasp specific terminology as well as any other complicated concepts that may be a foundation for learning a given curriculum. In addition to implementing hands-on activities for students, I have completed an Independent Learning
