Certified tutor in History and Political Science/Amer Gov

I am a certified tutor with experience in Political Science/American Government. My experience was gained by working with college students (student-athletes and those with documented disabilities). I am also able to tutor History (both World and American History) and the Verbal/Written portion of the GRE test.
I teach by using analogy and also by showing where to find the answers. I try very hard not to simply give the answers to the tutee. My thought is that simply giving the answers does not build a lasting base of knowledge. Plus I can show the tutee that even though I may not have all the answers I can use my resources to find the answer.

LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN!

I have twenty-nine years of experience in education. I served as an Elementary School Principal for 15 years. I have taught in grades 1, 2, and 3 in several school districts. I enjoy working with people of all ages. I believe that learning can be fun with varied activities to meet the specific needs of each student. I have a big bag of tricks, activities, and insight!
i believe that my teaching style must match a student's learning style. I will incorporate visual, auditory, and kinestetic methods into learning.

My comments on tutoring Government : Have Masters in Pub Admin

I have taught internship classes and tutored statistics at the University level. I have tutored mathematics from elementary to calculus at a junior college. I have been a GRE instructor for the Stanley Kaplan company I founded, owned and operated the Idaho School of Professional Hypnosis for 10 years, teaching hypnosis and hypnotherapy at a professional level. I co-developed the curriculum, designed the teaching strategy, and was the lead instructor.
I use the Socratic method, meeting the students where they are, and using gentle questioning to build on that base. I start with the assumption that all children are gifted learners, and communicate that belief to them. It is essential to create a base of success upon which to build future success. I also spend time finding something to like deeply about each child; and discovering what the child is interested in. When an adult ta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Northwest Nazarene University (BA, History, 2000) and Boise State University (BA, Political Science, 1995), was very much driven to academic excellence. My degrees have enabled me to learn how to read and critically analyze content and to determine the credibility and reliability of the information I receive. These skills have enabled me to make evaluations regarding the messages I receive from other people and the media each day. I am then able to make a determination regarding it's validity and how I might help a student based on those evaluations.
I have always enjoyed teaching and working with learners of all ages. I believe most people can learn and we all learn in a diffeent fashion. Some of us are visual, some auditory, some kinesthetic. I understand who to teach people in each modality by being firm, fair,a nd consistent with each individual. My goal is to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When teaching mathematics, I believe that over half of my job is social skills. Calming my students down, easing their frustration, and making them feel comfortable is over half the battle. It isn't that mathematics is too hard for most people, it is just too frustrating for most people. So my job is to set my client at ease and to create a learning environment. Once that learning environment is created, teaching is easy. I have worked with difficult students. One, who we will call John, has Autism, Schizophrenia, and vomits when upset. It was my job to teach John how to count money. After trying a variety of methods, we eventually found that learning in traditional environments was too stressful for John. So, we played Monopoly. People had been trying to teach him to count money for months, maybe years. Three weeks after I started with him, I took him to Walmart with a ha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

None of my family had gone to college, so it was predicted I would not either. I had a hunger to learn, so I systematically worked full-time and studied part-time, earning eight major degrees in cities where they alowed residency rquirements to be met in such a way. I was young and energetic, so it was a lot of work, but a joy. It took about 15 years to finally earn my doctorate. Along the way, I earned certification in a half dozen fields (especially loved English, social stuides, and psychology). I was employed for decades in education, teaching full-time for five years, often teaching on the side when I was counselor or administrator. Except for my earliest years of employment (where I was often employed full-time in radio or newspaper), I often tutored along the way. I have been able to tutor part-time a good many years since I often come across young people (and adults) who ... read more

Working with such a diverse population of students ranging from grades 3-12, I have learned that each child processes information in different ways. Assisting them in overcoming their learning disability has taught me to understand and identify their struggles and how they can work through them. I teach positive social and communication skills through small group discussions and lecture based presentations. Much of my teaching experience is rooted in one-on-one and small group interaction. I believe that every child has the right to an equal education and that every support service that is available should be provided. I truly enjoy the challenge of motivating a student through difficulties they may encounter in academics. I have the ability to relate quickly with students which helps develop a trust that will result in progress for the student.
For the past 2 years since gra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from BYU with a BS in finance and composite minors in accounting and economics, I moved into the medical management field. Within 7 years, I had taken a medical practice struggling to survive financially to a 3-physician, 2-midlevel practice. That experience launched a career. Other business background includes general management of a hotel/restaurant/touring company in a resort town. Later, I returned to school to complete an MA in theater. Here, I taught theater as an adjunct professor. I have also written and published a book and several one-act plays and variety shows.
I have a unique approach to teaching because my background is both analytical (numbers and science) and imaginative (theater and literature). While classroom training is my forte, I also have a solid background in teaching online. This combination is particularly useful since no two children learn i ... read more

Initially, I like to find out the basics. I want to know their underlying assumptions in any part of academia, whether it's math or science. I have come to find that the very simplest of assumptions can mislead students. I like to start each problem with a new set of assumptions, or a "given", "find", and "solution" step-by-step process. This allows the student to see the problem as a whole and if there are problems, be able to identify where they are beginning whether it's in the initial assumption or in the solution step.
I have spent the last five years attaining my BS in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Idaho. Throughout those four years I have had several opportunities to help out by mentoring young students. I am a part of a greek organization on campus that has housed many students, of which I have had the chance to help. I have tutored in several areas inc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the past year I have tutored through The College of Idaho's Chemistry Club. Chemistry, especially the math portions, never came easily to me. I had to work hard and spend hours asking professors questions, but now I am much better at chemistry because of it. As a tutor I wanted to help fellow students who were struggling as I had.
Just telling a child how to do a problem is not effective. I believe a teacher needs to explain the logic and reasoning behind solving certain problems certain ways. Knowing this can help the child discover what works specifically to him/her. If a child learns to reason for his/her self, they gain the ability to be lifetime learners. My hope is, that instead of dreading school they gain confidence in their abilities to figure things out, and therefore find joy in learning. Above all it is important to listen to the kids, stay positive, and never show ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am passionate about learning and education. I know that all children have the ability to learn and excel in all subjects and that the positive effects of that success can last a lifetime. I approach teaching through positive communication and interaction. To be able to learn, a child must trust the teacher and develop the motivation to learn. Through consistent work, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement, every child has the potential for success.
I have had the opportunity to work in the role of tutor for the past five years. I have worked in a correctional setting helping individuals prepare for the GED tests in math, writing, reading, science, and social studies. I have also had the opportunity to tutor younger students in a private setting in the subjects of reading, math, and science. I have earned my bachelor of science in sociology from Boise State University and have bee ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a bachelors degree in Mathematics. I have also spent many years tutoring friends and family. I love to solve math problems that others find difficult. I was a camp counselor for 3 years with children ranging from first grade to seniors in high school. My love of math and my experience with children allow me to help children of all ages with their mathematical needs.
I know that everyone learns differently, I also know that math is a subject that can be figured out in many different ways. I like to tackle problems from as many different ways as possible so that it is best understood by the student.
