Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Franklin, TN

I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences). I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.

I am currently completing my final year at Vanderbilt Law School. Over the past three years, I have taught a class and provided one-on-one tutoring for students preparing to take the LSAT. I also taught an upper level course while in grad school (it was in radio production). While I was in undergrad, I spent time tutoring elementary and middle school aged children over the internet. All together, I have helped dozens of individual students in a private setting and nearly a hundred students in the classroom. Personally, I love numbers and have always been very comfortable with math. But my grades and test scores have always been just as strong in other subjects, and I am confident that I can help you or your child in any of the areas listed below.

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I recently graduated with my Bachelors from the University of Tennessee. My degree is in English, but I have tons of experience tutoring in just about everything. The ages I have tutored most is older elementary, middle, and high schools as well as college. I can especially help prepare students for college and help them succeed in college. Since I am closer to the age of the older students, it is much easier for me to connect with the students as well as help them with their needs. Thanks for the opportunity and consideration. Heather

At the age of 24 already possessing a bachelor's and master's degree illustrates my efficiency and determination. I have taught English as a second language at the high school level and politcal science at the university level. I am very personable and able to relate to various types and education levels of students. I have tutored in history, english, spanish, italian, social studies, civics, and the arts. I enjoy enabling students to discover the abilities within themselves. I excel at being able to get students to find answers to their struggles by asking them the right questions, leading them in the right direction instead of doing the work for them. I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance. A solid educational foundation provides the

I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning isn’t work; but part of growing up – and selecting a career – is learning that work can be enjoyable. I should mention that it is not my way to enforce memorization for the sake of it. If you understand concepts, that is much better. I always say “an example is the embodiment of a rule”. I am always committed to a student’s success; and will not let him or her give up. The biggest thrill in teaching is watching a student suddenly understand a concept. It happens frequently, and it never gets old. For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at a Hun

I focus on cognitive development (Reading, writing, speech, creativity..) as well as social skills to prepare the child. I like to tap into the three most efficient instructional methods which are visual, physical and verbal when working with children. I have used a lot of visual resources in my past curriculum which have been very successful! I'm very attentive to children's behavior and body language and keep them in consideration throughout my interactions with them. I strive to make learning fun ! As a language trainer I am knowledgeable in all-levels of French training and tutoring I've worked professionally for clients of Cartus a global mobility management company.

Graduating from Alabama with a BS in Finance, I have a strong grasp of math concepts. I finished with a 3.83 and excelled in history, math, computer, economics, and business classes. After graduation, I moved to China to work with college students in the non-profit sector and took language classes while there for two years. My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who

As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was interesting, people and world politics were much more interesting. Now, with a BA in International Studies, I have greatly improved my skills in research, writing, public speaking, teaching, and leadership. My knowledge base is broad and deep, and I am comfortable with the subjects of: Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Ecology), International Studies (Economics, Politics, Conflict), English, and Psychology. As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answe
