Social Studies Tutor Available

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.

I am a practicing attorney, who strives for high level of excellence in everything I do. I have skills in history and political science. I also have experience with public speaking. As an attorney, I also have a vast knowledge of research and writing.
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.

More About This Tutor...

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 also have several years experience running an online sales business and plan to further my education in the near future since I value education highly for both personal and professional growth.
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

More About This Tutor...

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 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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a tutor for peers and for grade levels below me since I was in the 9th grade. It began as a volunteer project, and slowly developed over time into part time work through college and medical school. I have learned that I am very passionate about teaching young minds about the importance and advantages of a strong basic education.

Every child has the potential to learn. However, every child is different and therefore, learns differently. It is important for an educator to understand this. It is crucial for a teacher to get to know their students and be able to create lesson plans that are not only innovative, but that are accomodating to each of their students. As a teacher, I realize that we are not perfect and that sometimes, a lesson that we may feel is incredible, may not be so incredible to a student. Therefore, it is important to be flexible and willing to try again using a different technique in order to reach all of your students. I truley beleive that as long as I constantly remain flexible and willing to learn, my students will follow.
I am a person that loves and believes strongly in education. I have earned a BA in Political Science and followed with an MS in Criminal Science as well as an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent college graduate, I know the importance of a good education. I earned a bachelor degree in history, which has allowed me to master concepts of reading, writing, critical analyzing and the proper use of grammar. My education gave me the ability to think outside of the box, it has made me realize that there are many forms of learning. Learning can be a wonderful growing and intellectual experience when hard work, enthusiasm and effort are applied. I have seen the intellectual and personal growth in the individuals I have tutored when education became a priority for them.
Mistakes are an important part of daily life. Like adults, children make many mistakes but it is their ability to learn and move forward from their obstacles that distinguishes children as the resilient beings they are. Teaching children is so rewarding for me because of their continuous ability to grow a ... read more

I have struggle and work hard to achieve my goals and was always hungry for knowledge. I came to this country in search of a better future, but without hard work this was not possible. Because English was not my main language I learned from the roots, by writing and learning in extensive works of research. I have accomplished most of my dreams and I think that excellence is my motivation. I earned an AA in Education, a BA in Geography and currently I am working on my MA in Education of Earth Science concentration. For the last three years I have worked with students from K to 12 in all subjects areas. I think that additional to my tutoring experience I have acquired more experience working as a substitute teacher for the City of New York and New Jersey. In the last and current semester I have worked in several High Schools in New York City as a student teacher.
