My comments on tutoring Geography : I have traveled extensively throughout the United states and Europe. As an historian of the world , I have studied the geography of the world's continents from a political and human perspective. College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have helped many 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

I taught social studies in Ocean County from 1994 - 2002. I have been a school administrator since 2002. I have experience with both high school and middle school curriculum. I believe in trying to instill a love of learning with every student I meet. Every lesson I taught encouraged students to read, research, write and speak aloud. I want my students to be confident, compassionate problem-solvers.

More About This Tutor...

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

A Little Bit About Me...

I don't have any professional teaching experience but by running a business for the past two years I feel that is good experience when it comes to dealing with the unexpected and having to always think on your toes. I deal with a variety of personality types on a daily basis and I feel this would help me transition into teaching. I am also a professional musician and have tutored a number of people in the field of electronic music production
I currently hold a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Sociology. My major gpa was a 3.4 and I graduated from Rutgers College in New Brunwick which when I attended was the toughest school to get into within the Rutgers University system.

I enjoy working with children. I believe each child is different in the way that they learn and you have to vary your teaching style to the child. However, my general teaching style would be to provide examples that the child could relate to in their daily life.

A Little Bit About Me...

An education is the key to life. If a child is struggling and does not have the right guidance, they will end up hating school and everything it stands for. I love working with all children and feel that if I could touch the lives of children, there is no better reward. I am strict and fair and of course always give the upmost respect to all students. My goal is to help them achieve by doing all means possible. Every student learns in a different style and pace so I teach to their needs.
As I grew older, I knew I wanted to go back to school to teach. I raised a special-needs child and when he passed away, I felt I needed to be an advocate to teach children. I currently work in a behavioral school where I teach English and History. It is challenging everyday and it was I am meant to do. English and reading are the essence of school and there is no better feeling when a chil ... read more

Since 2000, I have tutored students of all levels in a variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a BA in communication (public relations) and specialized in political science. At that time, I was trained through 4H America Reads to teach young, multilingual students how to read. While not tutoring, I practice criminal law. My job requires me to write and speak to an array of audiences each day. I also make appearances at local schools and libraries for presentations. Contact me if you need help with any project or report, reading, writing, vocabulary, business, government and study skills.
I began tutoring K through 5th graders at an elementary school. Many of my students only spoke Spanish at home. From then, I continued tutoring elementary school students with a wide range of abilities. A few of my students were gifted, and we worked on sharpening their alre ... read more

I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I served in The Gambia West Africa as a health and community development volunteer. As a volunteer I worked in a local hospital on a daily basis, performing a variety of roles. I am a graduate of Roger Williams University. I have a BS in biology. RWU's science courses are intensive in both lecture and laboratory proficiency. As a result I’m able to tutor both lecture and laboratory portions of a course.
I am a very patient teacher, and I'm willing to take the time to explain any concepts a student is having trouble with. I have tutored several courses while I was attending college including several biology courses, organic chemistry, and physics. My experience in the Peace Corps has taught me to approach subjects in an “out of the box” way, which I can translate into a unique and effective teaching styl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I like to gear my teaching style to the student's learning style and interests. It is important to me that a child develops a love for learning early in their academic career. In order to promote this they must feel a level of success. The younger children respond better when learning is fun and appears to be more of a game than a chore. The best compliment a child gave me was when he said I was the best teacher because I liked being with him. The greatest compliment a parent gave me was when they told me they wanted me to be their child's teacher because they knew I loved them as if they were my own.
I have taught three different grade levels including ten years in kindergarten, three years in second grade and one year in third grade. My teaching experience has included both the private and the public sectors. During these years I also tutored children in my own class that were st ... read more
