My comments on tutoring American History : I hold two degrees in History (BA and Master's), in which I am extremely interested. Understanding the past helps us understand the present. As a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience, I have helped many High School and College students to succeed academically. I am patient and understanding.

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

Social Studies Teacher with expertise in writing

I have 5 years working in school districts in the Philadelphia area. I recently finished student teacher at a middle school in Philadelphia. I am very knowledge in all aspects of history, geography, and government. I am very well written and well read and I can help provide support research and writing papers. This is specialty.
I am very easy going but still goal oriented. I like to facilitate learning instead of just providing the information to you child. Setting the student on the right course to find the information on their own not only provides the student with accurate information but shows them how to be self sufficient which bolsters their confidence and a student.

My comments on tutoring American History : This is part of what I do on a daily basis!

My teaching style depends on your learning style, but basically I believe in individualized instruction, offering guidance and lots of real-world examples, teaching students skills that will help them become autonomous or self-reliant and confident. I attempt to accommodate my students as much as possible and answer all questions that they may have.

Well-Rounded and Adaptable Tutor of Many Topics

I tutored peers in high school often as well as my younger cousins, and occasionally kids at a daycare I worked at for a few years. I was able to get into college for free, as my mother is employed by the college that I was enrolled at, and so I stuck around for several years as a full time student simply for the joy of learning. I took courses in every major area, heavily focused on theater, english and science.

Ph.D Candidate at Penn

I have worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for several years. I have also tutored math and reading for middle and high school entrance exams in the past, including the HSPT and SSAT. I have additional instructional experience at the middle school level, having taught summer school in the past. I specialize in teaching critical reading techniques.
I use the Socratic Method. That is, I ask students to explain the material back to me. This enables me to determine their level of understanding. For reading specifically, I teach students how to read critically for the main points in a book or passage while skimming over extraneous details. I also encourage them to put themselves into an author's shoes by thinking about his purpose and point of view.

Need Help Studying for the Bar Exam or Law Course?

I have been a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for two political secience classes. I was a teaching fellow during my time at Seton Hall Law School. I have passed both the PA and NJ Bar exams. This was accomplished on the first try for each. I also have an MBA degree. So tutoring you in business classes would not be a problem.
The best way to study law for an exam is to take practice exams and to work on your outline. That is where I can help.

American History is one of my top subjects! This was my specialty in my BA program.

In working in the liberal arts fields, I try to link up the student's interests with the subject matter, looking for an approach that will link the content of the field to things that they care about. In the graphic arts, I favor a mastery learning approach that builds on foundational concepts and emphasizes both the learning of specific techniques and a problem-solving approach that makes someone more than just a button pusher.

A Little Bit About Me...

As far as writing, the best approach depends on the phases. I have always acted as an instructor and guide. I help a student develop and process ideas. In the brainstorming phase, I may help a student generate ideas by suggesting different areas and working on "thought clouds." We may also do a "free write" and then discuss the ideas that were generated. During the writing process I help guide students in the development of outlines and structure. Truthfully, there is no best strategy. The techniques depend on the students needs and learning styles.
I worked as a peer tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Delaware for 2 years. I worked on all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming to revisions and final drafts. I have also tutored first year college students in the social sciences, in particular in history and government.

Philadelphia Tutor

Over the past three years, I have tutored several students in mathematics, biology, and biochemistry at the Academic Support Unit of the Multicultural Life Center at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. I guided their development of individual note-taking strategies, study habits, and problem solving skills. I chose to tutor mathematics and biology in order to enhance my interpersonal, people management and critical thinking skills. Also, it was an opportunity to apply and share my knowledge with other motivated students from different academic years and majors. Throughout the experience, my goal was to help students become independent learners who can challenge themselves and maintain academic success. It also helped me understand the relationship between a mentor and a mentee.

For a little more than 13 years, I have been teaching numerous topics, most specifically writing, in which I hold a Master's degree. I find it riveting to guide learners to an enhanced appreciation for the rewards of communication and have grown to feel even more enamored with subject matters through encouraging students' curiosity.
I am Jesuit-schooled (undergraduate degree from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia), so I am very much into asking questions and analyzing concepts in depth.
