I have been teaching social studies in Cabarrus County for the past 12 years. I am nationally board certified and have my AP certification in World History. This summer I will be receiving my IB training and will begin teaching AP world history in the IB classroom. I am interested in tutoring specifically in world and AP world history, which I consider my speciality, but am proficient in all social studies classes and can help at any level. I am familiar with the set up and requirements of the AP World History exam and am willing to learn all there is to know about the other social studies AP exams in order to help a student succeed with them. I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with group wo

As an experienced teacher, I have worked with many different types of students. All students can succeed if they are given the opportunity. I belive it is important to identify a student's learning style and work within that style to help that student reach his or her potential. I am currently a certified elementary teacher in Massachusetts and I taught 6th grade there for seven years. I taught in a self contained classroom, teaching all subjects, for the first two years. The remaining five years were in a middle school where I taught 6th grade math for all five years and social studies for one year. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a math/science concentration and a minor in Biology. I also have a master's degree in Elementary Education.

My teaching style is extremely interactive. I do not believe I hold all of the knowledge and the students should defer to me. I like to begin by informally ascertaining what the students know about a given topic instead of assuming either lack of or mastery of said subject. I love using hands on materials and making the subjects relevant to students real life situations. I believe that all students, including those with learning disabilities, can achieve at levels that even adults could not imagine. I began tutoring friends and neigbors shortly after returning home from Michigan in 1995. I didn't earn my degree from Michigan until 2000. However, I spent the years in between working full time and taking classes. Many of my jobs involved tutoring students. In 2001 I received my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Temple, and taught in the shcool district from January 2001 - June, 2

I attended a state college in New York where I was a dual marjor in Literautrue and Education. It was during these years of college that I gained my most relevant experience leading me to deepen my passion for the craft of educating others. When I graduated, I taught in a public elemnentary school New York for one year. I then moved to North Carolina to further my education career and again, taught 4th grade in a public elementary school. During this school year I was approached by a parent to tutor her two sons from Pakistan, in preparation for the NC state End of Grade exams. Needless to say thier English was a bit weak which is where my background in English/literature became most utilized. I tutored them in their home for 4 hours per week. I spoke with thier teachers and parents to target thier weakest points, then purchased materials suited for their achievment level and targe
