World History Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in New Haven, NY

I am currently pursuing a degree in secondary education with a specialization in American History. I have a passion for the subject and for helping students succeed. I just completed my practicum last fall and was active in a 10th grade World History class for about 10 hours a week. During the summer of 2011 I was employed at girl scout camp in Lake George where I planned and taught History lessons for our weekly programs. I also have worked for the Walt Disney Company, in the Magic Kingdom. While I was there, I was able to do American History trivia and tours for the Liberty Square area. I really enjoy engaging the student in discussion of the topic and helping them experience the events in History rather than just remembering dates and locations.

I'm a fifth-teen year old, currently enrolled at Thomas J. Corcoran High School, where I am a sophomore I currently take IB classes and wanted to start tutoring to pass the time and pick up a little extra cash. I'm drug free and have never tasted alcohol. I try to be patient and usually am. I'd prefer to work with children still in elementary or middle school, seeing as I haven't learned everything yet. I know the basic and more to just about everything eighth grade and below. Typically the setting in which the tutoring will take place will be my house in my dining room area and after that the student may watch television until his or her parent or guardian is there to pick them up.

I try to relate to the children as best as I can and make the learning fun for them whenever possible. I am easy going, polite and helpful. I also talk to them about other things besides homework and studying, such as personal problems. My students trust me and this makes it easier for me to help them and to teach them. Most of my students were high school freshmen and sophomores. Currently, I am a systems engineering graduate student at Penn State University. I have earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from SUNY Oswego with minors in applied statistics and philosophy. My last position was as an academic mentor and tutor for AmeriCorps. I have one year of tutoring experience at Hannibal High School in Hannibal, New York. I tutored students in subjects including mathematics, science and history.

I believe that a subject should be presented in a way that is fun for the pupil. I provide a very hands on approach to learning. If the lesson is engaging than I will argue firmly that a lesson can be extracted from the experience. Certain characteristics are important in the tutor to student relationship. The tutor shall be patient,firm,fun and fair. Every child can succeed if provided with the right resources and the utilization of their resources is essential in their academic success. Therefore, personable lessons are at the root of the learning experience. As an Le Moyne College graduate, I was required to become well rounded in a multiple areas of study. I have achieved a BA in History and minor in the German language. The core courses in the Le Moyne curriculum assisted me in becoming well rounded in the areas of philosophy, religion,math and science. Due to writing research paper

I have taught now for 5 years. 6th grade for 2, 5th grade for 2, and tutored as well as substitute taught for several districts in the area. I recently graduated from SUNY Oswego with a MSed in literacy, grades B-6 and have a BS in childhood education. I establish a rapport with my students and their parents, with the understanding that their needs are my primary concern. Lesson preparation is extensive, with goal setting in mind at all times. I have high expectations for my students. Student achievement, in and out of the classroom, is a personal goal. Because I was a "non-tradional" student, one with my own children, I knew several things from the start: first and foremost, I will always treat students the way I wish my own children are treated by their teachers. In addtion, I have an understanding that not all children, nor adults, learn the same and need to be offered a variety of ex

As a Syracuse University graduate, I studied at the Maxwell School and the Whitman School of management. Maxwell is recognized worldwide for its expertise in public policy and economics. I have taken 3 courses in statistics, 1 in calculus and 1 econometric course which is statistics and calculus combined. Also, because I was enrolled in 2 separate programs I have taken 15 credits of natural science and 12 credits of english. I feel well polished in many areas of academia and I work well with students, considering there are 8 teachers in my family and I've been around the teaching environment for quite some time. I'm very laid back and patient when it comes to teaching. I can empathize with students who have difficulty in a subject because at one point in my educational career I had trouble and needed help. I do believe that almost every one is capable of learning and progressing, given

Beginning in high school I found myself driven to help children in need. Through my participation in Mercy Action, I raised money for mentally delayed children, and set up numerous barbeques for them. Later, I began tutoring a young brazilian boy in the 5th grade. He needed help with all of his studies, especially math and english. As a political science major, I have gained experienced in essay writing, grammatical skills and research methods. Before I was able to tutor, I taught 7 year old girls cheerleading. When I began to tutor, I enjoyed being one on one with the child. I am very patient, punctual and considerate. I know children that need extra help need extra time. I find it personally rewarding to supplament a child's education. I also believe it is easier for a child to ask questions when they are one on one with an educator.

As a recent graduate of the Rutgers-Newark University Honors College, I hold a B.A. in Biology and plan to continue my education in the future. As a member of the Honors College I was exposed to the most rigorous English Literature and History courses, which enabled me to hone my writing skills. In addition, I have extensive experience in the Biological Sciences. While earning my degree in Biology I held a position as a peer tutor for undergraduate freshmen taking General Biology. I also have a full year of one-on-one and group tutoring experience with preparatory school students, who had learned English as a second language, in various subjects including Biology, English, and History. I recognize the importance of a dynamic teaching style- one that adjusts depending on both the subject matter and the student. I am very experienced with addressing procrastination and anxiety.

My teaching style will vary depending on the class as a whole or the type of student I am working with individually. In order to be an effective teacher I have seen that I need to be flexible with how I present material to a student. If a student is visual I am able to create diagrams and use props to show a concept rather than only speak the material. Some students need hands on and things like manipulatives in math help create a concrete way to remember a concept, and this is also something I do. In my mind success as a teacher is largely based on the success of the student and I am able to figure out what a specific child needs and adjust my teaching style to that student. In 2006 I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with concentrations in History and English. In 2008 I received my New York State Teaching Certificate. Starting at the end of 2008 I became a substitu

My teaching style is a hands-on-approach. I don't want students to just learn and memorize history; but to enjoy it and see how it relates to their own lives. I use visual, verbal, and tactical aids with each of my lessons. I also strive to include everyone culturally and literally (i.e. if they have IEP's or literacy issues). I have had two practicum rotations thus far. My first rotation was at C. W. Baker High School, in Baldwinsville, NY. This was a 10th grade, level one Global Studies classroom. I assisted with group activites, and helping students connect the information they were currently learning to prior knowledge. My second rotation was at Grant Middle School, in Syracuse, NY. This is a 7th grade (begining US history) classroom. During this time I taught several lessons, created and administered a pre-test, as well as work one-one with several students that had IEP's and lower

I have always enjoyed teaching people in a one-on-one or small group environment. It allows me to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student or group I’m working with. I enjoy using creative methods to teach a topic, including creating multiple ways to explain a term or concept and providing analogies to concepts that are familiar to the student. All people comprehend concepts in different ways and at varying speeds. Thus as I teach a concept I am constantly looking for signs of understanding, and then stop and reinforce a concept when it is apparent that the student does not understand. Teaching is a very fluid process, one that requires acute understanding of the challenges students face when learning, and an active process that requires energy and intelligence on the part of the teacher, qualities I believe I possess. I was fortunate to be able to enter college full-t

My method is very student-centered: learn the student's interests, strengths, weaknesses, and needs, and the way to properly teach them anything will be clear as day. I believe very strongly that people best digest knowledge when it's delivered to them "in their own language," and in ways that they can easily identify cognitively. I also bring in a very patient, nurturing, and encouraging attitude that allows for even frustrating subjects to be learned at a sound and progressive pace without extreme amounts of stress or pressure. Nothing makes a difference in a child's life like education, and I plan on giving the best that I can! As a recent graduate of Le Moyne College with stellar grades, I have achieved a truly remarkable level of education. Though I have only earned a BA in Psychology, I have a very comprehensive knowledge of English literature, composition, history, French, and

I love working with children and believe that my enthusiasm for learning will help motivate them to further pursue their own studies. I am confident that I will help your child find academic success. As the oldest child, I have grown patient, understanding, and considerate. I believe that all children can learn and I look forward to working with yours. My teaching style is hands on and interactive, focusing primarily on positive reinforcement and encouragement. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I can think of no greater opportunity for personal fulfillment than making a difference in a student's life. As a recent honors graduate, I am very passionate about education.
