American History is one of my top subjects!

When I teach I want to engage the student or students. I want to grab their interest and keep it. This requires two main things of the teacher: he must know the subject well and he must have enthusiasm for the subject. This almost ensures that the student will enjoy being taught. I like an informal style, especially as classes get smaller.

My comments on tutoring American History : History enthusiast

I am a recent college graduate looking to help other students. I wasn't a typical student. I had to try different ways to understand certain subjects. I feel that education isn't one size fits all; every student has his/her own way of learning. My goal is to open your mind to the possibilities and knowledge it stores. The information is there waiting for you to use it. All we have to do is tap into it!
My teaching style is based on the student. We do a couple of activities so that I can gage where we stand and go from there.

My comments on tutoring American History : Colonial. Civil War. WWII. Civil Rights.

I have a Masters of Library Science. I've been a Library Branch Manager and librarian in a public library for over 14 years, and have experience helping people from diverse backgrounds. I have successfully helped people with citizenship, resume writing, filling out job applications, interview skills, basic computer classes, database research, assembling bibliographic sources, writing, school reading lists, locating literary criticisms and helping with preparation of science fair projects. Published author under pseudonym.
I prefer the student to have a hands-on experience so that they can learn how to do the subject for themselves. I provide guidance, suggestions and best practices. I am patient, try to put the person at ease, and treat all people with respect.

Spanish/ESL/History Tutor

I have years of experience working with students of various ages (9-55) and backgrounds (with regard to culture, language, and gender).

More About This Tutor...

I am a student of history and believe that knowledge acquisition comes from interest and enthusiasm on the part of the learner. This interest comes from having an instructor who them selves is a learner. A partnership in the tasks being presented usually results in the student wanting to understand the information and making connections. To promote critical thinking I present the material in a global manner, allowing the learner to relate the information/skill to the real-world.
Creative, innovative, and interesting lessons are my forte. I am experienced in providing a constructivist-based approach to knowledge acquisition. Hands-on lesson promote student involvement and increase the development of student responsibility towards their education. I have found that a cross-curriculum approach to the material being presented fosters true understanding and relevance.

After receiving my degree from the University of Houston, I substituted for a semester. Then, for three years I taught English in South Korea to children raging from five to 19 years of age which helped me to tone my teaching styles.
I am reactive. I adjust to the learning style that the student requires for them to learn efficiently.I am a firm believer that all children learn better through different methods, and this should be utilized for their sake
