My comments on tutoring Political Science : As an avid reader and substitute teacher, I have had developed both the knowledge and proficiency to aide students. Additionally I have received training for instruction in this area in my pursuit of a K-8 teaching license.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and adaptability to ensure a good fit between teaching and learning styles. Equal emphasis is placed on learning current material and the confidence for future learning. Teaching methods will vary depending on the skills, interests, and temperaments of each student.
Experience overview: 5-years experience as a substitute teacher, worked as a tutor for one year, volunteered to assist teachers in the classroom, and is in studying to become a licensed elementary teacher. Details I am currently in my fifth year of substitute teaching. The students have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and with varying degree of academic skills. I have had taught in all subject areas. In the classroom I strive to be well-prepared, organized, engaging, and accessible. I am on the preferred substitute list of many teachers and often I am cont ... read more

I don't just teach history I have lived history!

I believe that education is the key to success for young students. As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. Being devoted to this assertion confirms that I have made the right career choice for myself. I love working with children and will continue to strive to be a positive influence ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught and served as a principal at parochial schools for 15 years, teaching every subject in every level in grades 4-8, and English in grades 9-12. In addition, I have served as an adult educator for 6 years. My particular areas of interest are in technology, language and reading, history, and logical thinking/essential skills. Much of my life I have provided tutoring services to students in my schools, helping them to achieve their highest potential. I have had documented success in helping students to improve their levels of academic success and self-image as active and independent learners.
My teaching style spans two decades, and many hundreds of students. In that time, I have learned that individual students have individual learning styles. Therefore, my teaching style would be dependent upon the student and his or her needs and current state of mind. When possible, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

To reach the students and motivate them to learn takes enthusiasm both for sociology and for teaching. When students see that I am passionate about the discipline and energetic and excited about teaching, this rubs off on them and is conducive to their learning. I am an active and thorough lecturer, but at the same time I seek to involve the students as much as possible so as to make their learning experience one which they help to construct. I have found that I retain more knowledge through the articulation of ideas akin to teaching, and believe that when students are open and encouraged to express themselves they will have similar experience learning.
In approaching the learning environment as a College Graduate with my MA in Criminology and Statistics, I seek to do for my students what numerous professors did for me when I was an undergraduate: Instill a passion for sociolog ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a lot of fun working with children of all ages. My goal is to increase your child's confidence in his or her writing abilities, as writing well is the key to academic and career success. Learning to write should be relaxing and fun, not a chore, and I am certain my love of writing will help your child learn to communicate more efficiently.
As an English teacher in Incheon, South Korea, I prepared lesson plans on a daily basis and led in the classroom to foster a creative, fun, and educational environment. I chose to go to South Korea to explore a new culture, travel, and learn a new language after finishing my BA in Political Science (International Affairs) and Global Studies, with a dual concentration in Russian Languages and Literature and Southeast Asia Area Study. I have extensively edited English as a second language essays at the TEFL level as well as worked as a n ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a number of useful skills and abilities that I bring to a classroom. I have a very broad set of educational areas in which I am comfortable. I have a B.S. in Biology, a B.A. in History, and a minor in Political Science, as well as a Masters in teaching. I possess significant teaching experience, having taught American History, Earth Science, and General Science at the secondary level. Additionally, I have substituted in every grade from fifth through twelfth and in classes from art to P.E. math to music.
Students must be challenged, not coddled. Students at all levels need to be pushed to find their limits and then move beyond them. Only then can they achieve real growth. We must use education as a tool to educate the next generation not only for employment but also for citizenship. In so doing, we need to take into account historical precedents and objective reality ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my high school years I would volunteer to help children through various charities and church. When I attended college I became an Early Childhood Education major and volunteered in preschool and elementary schools. During my Student Teaching in Des Plaines I was in complete control of a Kindergarten classroom and later a 2nd Grade class. After graduating I began working in a daycare where I created activities for children as young as 3 years old and activities and homework help for elementary students as old as 13.
When I am teaching I am very patient and try to organize the lesson or my assistance in steps. I'll have the child read the problem or question, ask what they know about it, see if they understand the question and proceed. The patient style helps me see what the student's strengths and weaknesses are so I know what they need to practice and focus on. If the c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During the last 2 years of my undergraduate career at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I spent time leading moderate sized tutoring sessions. My scientific research experience is extensive as I have conducted 2 years of research in the field of neuroendocrinology. I received the James D. Anthony Award at the conclusion of my senior year for "outstanding undergraduate researcher." Two weeks after graduation, I became employed by the Medical College of Wisconsin conducting research on Juvenile Type I Diabetes. Over these past 4 years, I have tutored in all of the major concentrations of biology. I also have extensive tutoring experience in Organic Chemistry and basic mathematics.
I truly enjoy teaching students and spending the necessary time in order for an individual to fully encompass a concept. I consider myself a problem solver and I feel as though I possess an innate abil ... read more

I teach to the needs and style of the child. I understand that each child has a specific style of learning. I vary my teaching with visual, auditory, and multi-sensory aids. All of my teaching includes a great deal of patience and humor! I have had great success in each child I have tutored, whether this has involved understanding, grades, or self-esteem.
I have taught, tutored and administered educational programs for over 15 years. These experiences included teaching 1st and 4th grade, tutoring grades 1-8, writing assistance for high school and university students, teaching ESL to youth and adult, GED prep for youth and adults, and managing two adult education programs. I have also earned certification in special learning needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored as part of community service projects as well as in service-learning classes. During my class on the Latino Immigration Experience in the United States, I taught in an English as a Second Language teacher to high school freshmen and sophomores. I really enjoyed the experience of helping their teacher relate to her students by aiding in lesson planning and other aspects of the classroom experience.
I believe that every teacher is also a learner and that every student is also a teacher. We have much to learn from the people we tutor and vice versa. My goal is to relate to my students on a personal level and make sure that they are actually learning and not merely memorizing my lessons. I think that it is necessary to personalize all instruction to your audience, especially when working with younger students. In this way, I know that I can effectively teach anyone ... read more
