Passionate Professional with Masters degree in History

I enjoy utilizing power point, the internet, and good old fashioned text books. Whatever it takes for the student to understand the materials. I have had classes in adaptation of teaching methods, to meet the needs of students.
I have been studying history for the past five years at a collegiate level, and have taught throughout my experience. I earned a bachelors degree from Texas Tech in history and secondary education. I have also just recently completed the course work for my masters in Medieval History at University College Dublin in Ireland. I have worked with primarily high school students. I am great with all types of learners and can adapt to learning styles.

My comments on tutoring Social Studies : Certified teacher

I have a comprehensive background in the social studies having utilized all of my college elective courses to take social studies classes for my secondary social studies composite teaching certificate. I have a year of direct teaching experience of U.S. History and World Cultures and geography, and for the past 13 years I have worked directly for the Texas legislature drafting legislation. I am incredibly familiar with the processes of government and as a lifelong Texan, have taken enough Texas history (and lived enough of it) to help any student with their studies. I graduated cum laude (with honors) from both Texas A&M and the University of Houston Law Center. During law school, I served as the executive editor of the Houston Journal of International Law and was tapped by the Law Center to tutor first year law students in study skills.
Typically, our first meeting would be to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate from Indiana University who has a passion for art, history, and film. I spent most of my college career teaching at IU Outdoor Adventures, Indiana University's outdoor recreation program. There, I gained the skills to instruct on rock climbing and backpacking. I believe that the teaching style I learned there pertains to teaching any subject. A teacher should guide the student to the answer, rather than giving it to them in an easy answer. I also worked as a Naturecrafts staff member at Camp Barney Medintz in Cleveland, GA. At CBM, I taught kids ages 8 to 16 outdoor skills and guided backpacking trips. Working there taught me how to best educate all ages in a fun and interactive manner. Whether it be playing a game or taking a walk, learning can be enjoyable.

A Little Bit About Me...

I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement.
From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, thre ... read more

Educated professional - Alternative tutor

I worked in after school progrmas all through college and generally enjoy helping children study. I am very engaging, patient and relate well to any age child or young adult. I am not a proto-typical, traditional "tutor" in that I never studied education in a pedagogical sense, but I am highly educated and always made high grades in every level of school. I may can help where the traditonal teachers/tutors have been unsuccessful. I have no specialized training related to ADD/ADHD other than I have been diagnosed as such since high school. I learned to thrive in light of it and feel like I have insight into those with the same diagnosis.

A Little Bit About Me...

I adhere to Gardener's Multiple Intelligences, which states that each student possesses certain intelligences and that using a students' strengths improves their achievement. Each student has individual needs, that when nurtured, will allow the student to realize his potential. Students learn differently in different environments, and as an educator, I believe a student learns best when in a comfortable environment, especially with new or challenging material. Most importantly, it is my goal to help students become individual learners and thinkers, to teach them not only content but how to help themselves as well. As a teacher, I had high expectations for all my students, and they reached them when we set manageable goals.
As a graduate of Southwestern University with a Bachelor in English and Communications, I was drawn to the field of education. I come from a family of teachers ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate student at Southwestern University, I received a comprehensive education that can only be obtained at a small liberal arts university. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and am currently working on my Master of Arts in Counseling. Prior to majoring in psychology, I was an elementary education major. I volunteered with children of all ages in numerous libraries and classrooms throughout high school and college in an effort to gain experience as a future teacher. I was also a mentor and tutor for elementary and middle school students for five years in high school and college. I have tutored students in math, psychology, English, and sciences, and I have given both individual and group viola lessons.
My educational background and volunteer experiences have led me to develop an extremely high respect for and understanding of educational achievement. Every stu ... read more

I am a born teacher, and I love the challenge of bringing students who are less than engaged in the learning process to becoming eager and confident learners. I am patient, though I also believe in setting goals and reaching benchmarks and deadlines. My basic philosophy is that all young people are not only able to learn but also capable of much more than they or their environment may believe. My goal is to increase their confidence by praising their successes, and to hone their skills by expecting rigorous application of their efforts to the learning tasks at hand.
I have been teaching and tutoring students since the 1980's, both in Israel (where I completed my B.A.) and in the United States, first as a graduate student and then as an Assistant Professor of English. My background of studies includes many humanities and social sciences (English Literature, Philosophy, Psychology ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicate verbally and in writing. In the professional arena, I have been a Linguist, an Interpreter, a Translator, a Language Instructor, a Mediator, a Program Manager, and a Technical Writer. I have utilized the notions learned in school, as well as the opportunity to refine them in these professionally held roles, where clarity of text, verbal message, and direction of discourse are vital for successful outcomes. I can speak many foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Portugese and Latin.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had an interest in math and science, and I got my start tutoring in high school by helping fellow classmates and friends in these subjects. I went on to earn my BS in Mechanical Engineering from U.T. Austin. I have also spent much of my life in the world of music and began teaching beginner piano lessons several months ago. If the subject matter is analytical and involves numbers, I can certainly help you figure it out.
I enjoy working with children of all ages, but particularly excel with more mature students trying to tackle more difficult subject matter. One of my greatest strengths is helping people understand abstract, technical material by simplifying the concepts and using analogies that the student can relate to. Often times we create a barrier because something seems like it should be hard. I make it my goal to break through that barrier by reducing the ... read more

I enjoy working with students of all ages and am comfortable with elementary through post-graduate learners. I am particularly adept at teaching writing because I have focused my approach to grammar and reading skills around writing. I possess infinite patience and am sensitive to special learners. I believe the best way to teach is one-on-one, but I can easily adapt to classes with large numbers of learners. I believe in my students and am certain that all can learn.
I have taught language arts and reading in public and private charter schools for over 15 years. I also taught TOEFL in Mexico and Japan. While in Japan, I worked as a TOEFL instructor and also taught conversation classes, and GRE vocabulary and critical reasoning classes.
