Social Studies is one of my top subjects! This is my primary area of certification and the bulk of the classes that I took in college were geared toward teaching social studies. I hold a degree to teach social studies in grades 7-12.

I went to Penn State University to pursue a degree in social studies education and also to obtain a minor in Spanish. Once I considered teaching Spanish as a potential career option, I studied abroad for a semester in Spain where I lived with a host family, took classes that were taught in Spanish, and I traveled throughout the country. I graduated from Penn State University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Education and minors in history and Spanish and obtained teaching certification in social studies in grades 7-12 in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and in Spanish in Kindergarten through 12th grade. I am in the process of obtaining a teaching certification in the state of Kansas. I have spent the last 4 years teaching Spanish in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to students of all levels from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
My teaching style consists of a combination of direct ... read more

My comments on tutoring Social Studies : My Master's Degree was in Film Theory and my final year thesis focused specifically on racism in a post-colonial context. I specialized in studying how Ireland's ethnic and semi-nomadic minority, the "Tinkers" or "Travelers" as they are not called, were represented in a variety of Irish films about land ownership. I have also worked extensively with social issues in the USA, mainly as the assistant director of a court-based volunteer advocacy program for children in foster care.

Creative teaching style, pulling on a variety of influences from my own schooling in Ireland; and as a freelance instructor with KU's Continuing Education "Osher" program. Over five years' experience working with children, teens and retired professionals. Strong track record incorporating arts-based teaching mechanisms to facilitate learning, particularly for students who study with reading, writing and comprehension. Extensive experience as a substitution teacher in Ireland, covering History, English Literature and Geography lessons.
Extensive experience as a freelance educator in variety of school and arts-based settings Taught English-as-a-Second-Language in Madrid, Spain for two years as third-level student Former Youth & Family Outreach Coordinator for University of Kansas' Spencer Museum of Art Former Assistant Director with Douglas County District Court "Child-in-Need-of- ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed interacting with children of all ages. I currently serve as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at an inner - city elementary school. During my three years in this position, it has become extremely apparent that all children....no matter their abilities....are capable of reaching their full potential. It is simply a matter of adapting my teaching style to their learning strengths. I am a patient, easy going individual who tries to improve upon the struggles that I encountered on my own academic journey so the students that I am working with walk away with confidence in school and really, all facets of life.
I graduated from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas with a degree in Communications (emphasis in Journalism) along with minors in Religion and Youth Ministry. While in college, I was a member of the yearbook staff as well as serving as an editor ... read more

Each student deserves to know that they can achieve. I believe that the level of success a student reaches is, ultimately, up to the student. I feel that with caring & patient guidance a student will be motivated to do their best. I believe in hands on experiences in all areas of learning. I am a creative teacher and strive towards a Whole Language approach. As much as possible, I make a lesson relevant to each student's personal life - giving additional motivation for them to work at their own success.
I have worked with children of varying ages since 1982. I am most passionate about Language Arts, History and Science. During my senior year in college, I tutored individual students in Science and I worked one-on-one with 4th graders helping them with Math skills. My classroom experiences include 3rd and 6th Grades.

I enjoy working with all children. During the past twenty years, I had the opportunity to work with very diverse students from kindergarten to 6th grade. Given the right instruction, I believe that all students can learn. As a reading specialist, I have seen students go from struggling readers to confident readers. By working with these students and seeing their lives change; I know I make a difference.
I believe that all teachers should be life-long learners. All teachers should be informed on new best practices and be knowledgeable of current educational policies. These are the reasons that I belong to TESOL and the International Reading Association. In addition to belonging to these organizations, I have continued to pursue new knowledge by attending graduate classes at the University of Kansas. After I received my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 1994, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been tutoring for many years with different kinds of children. To begin with, I tutored my younger sister starting when she was about seven years old to age twelve or thirteen. In high school, I also volunteered for an after-school program for Hispanic children ages seven-twelve where I helped them with their homework in various subjects. In addition, I spent about four months tutoring a severely autistic child, teaching him different communication skills and helping him to form patterns. I have always been an 'A' student and I excel in math, science, English, foreign languages, and history. I am best with math and science for elementary up to ninth or tenth grade students, yet I can tutor students in history, reading, and English for all ages. I earned my bachelor's degree in communications, so I have learned to master social studies and the English language by writing copi ... read more
