Certified in Secondary Social Studies Education (7-12)

Everybody deserves a safe and equal opportunity to enhance his or her knowledge. It is imperative that teachers create a classroom environment in which every student feels as though he or she is valued, belongs, and can make a contribution without fearing ridicule or humiliation. Students will feel more confident and will be more willing to take chances if a comfortable learning environment has been established. Part of creating a comfortable learning environment depends entirely on the teacher’s personality. If the student feels as though the teacher is open, honest, sincere and caring, he or she will not only respect the teacher more, but will also feel comfortable learning from that particular teacher. I have been able to establish very good rapport with my students, and because of this, many students have been willing to go the extra mile on my behalf. Establishing good rappo ... read more

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.
I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.

More About This Tutor...

I'm a very bright high school senior with a rigorous AP schedule at New Britain High. I don't have any tutoring experience but I've worked for two years at a christian summer camp, so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I've always had a talent for explaining material and making it fun, and I'm interested of pursuing a career in post secondary education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I started tutoring in 1995. At the present time I am working as a Special Ed. Reading Tutor for the East Hartford School system. I started out tutoring middle school and high school students in basic math, reading, english, and social studies.
I love teaching using examples all around, as well as, painting a word picture which students understand. It is very important for me to know my audience. This helps me in how I should present the information.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Trinity College graduate, I had the chance to experience a liberal arts education which gave me the opportunity to learn about and excel in a broad range of subject areas. Moreover throughout my college years I have been able to gain extensive writing skills in all my courses. Regarding my teaching experience, I worked as a teacher assistant for a year as well as have tutored ESOL and elementary school students. With the experience I have had as well as the knowledge I have gained about education in my college courses I know I’d be capable of tutoring various subjects, levels and age groups. I have the skill to quickly learn and recall course material, gain a complete understanding of it and then teach this material successfully.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every student has something to contribute, and has a certain talent. It is all about harnessing that talent for me. I believe that every child can learn, it is simply a matter of how to help. I am patient, relaxed, honest, yet considerate. I utilize a discussion type of learning, in which the myself and my student discusses the problem and finds a solution to correcting that problem. I take great satisfaction in helping students succeed, and would be honored to help your child succeed and learn.
As the first member of my family to graduate college, I understand the value of hard work and a good, solid education. I want to help students achieve and build upon thier education. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in History/Secondary Education, which has not only helped me to gain an understanding of the wide ranging subject matter of social studies and history, I also have extensive gr ... read more

I am a recent graduate of the University of Hartford. I have a dual certification in Special Education and Elementary Education. I have taught in both Urban and Suburban areas in grades K, 1, 2,5,6, and 7. I have also tutored children in grade 4 and peers at the college level. I have tutored all elementary subjects and at the college level I have tutored in English and World History.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school and now that I have graduated I am excited to finally live out my childhood dreams. I am very enthusiastic, patient, and creative. I feel as though all children can learn, it's just a matter of figuring out what learning style best suits them. I truly believe in the use of positive reinforcement whenever possible.

A Little Bit About Me...

My primary activities during my professional career have been teaching and counseling. My experience covers clients across the lifespan: from infants in early care and education through grand- parents in post-secondary education and college courses. I have taught and tutored the basics: reading, writing, composition, comprehension, fluency, basic mathmatical functions, etc. I have also taught major required and elective courses in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
As the "Summary of Experience" paragraph describes, I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I suppose my first love is working with young learners: seeing the "aha!" spark that shines when a child first absorbs a concept or masters a skill that is new, or one which has previously proved difficult. My teaching style could be described as "eclectic", in that I draw from the many resources available to find a "l ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years. While living in Connecticut I tutored homebound high school age children who were either out on medical leave or expelled for disciplinary purposes. I am proud to report that in addition to several other students, I provided tutoring for a full course load covering an entire year for one expelled student who improved grades in every course and went on to graduate. I have also created training programs and hired and trained numerous employees in the insurance industry and serve as co-chair for an annual insurance educational conference held in New York City. While my degree is in English, I enjoy and excel in math and other courses as well.
