Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Philadelphia, PA

As far as writing, the best approach depends on the phases. I have always acted as an instructor and guide. I help a student develop and process ideas. In the brainstorming phase, I may help a student generate ideas by suggesting different areas and working on "thought clouds." We may also do a "free write" and then discuss the ideas that were generated. During the writing process I help guide students in the development of outlines and structure. Truthfully, there is no best strategy. The techniques depend on the students needs and learning styles. I worked as a peer tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Delaware for 2 years. I worked on all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming to revisions and final drafts. I have also tutored first year college students in the social sciences, in particular in history and government.

Specifically political philosophy, comparative politics, and women's and gender theory. I attended university for ten years and am deeply interested in my subjects. In terms of teaching, I've not only been assisting colleagues with professional needs (such as proof-reading, brain-storming and mentoring) but as a graduate assistant I created tests, helped with lecture preperation, and gave test reviews for 300 person lecture halls. I also aided students during office hours, answered questions about the subjects as well as guided them through what they'd need to know for the test.

I have published a 'Brief History of the United States" and have tutored many high school and college students in government and political science. I have run for and held public office, myself. 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 l

Being positive facilitates healthy relationships and ensures that students are comfortable in the classroom. A solid and healthy rapport with the student breeds a sense of belonging and allows the students to open up to the teacher. A positive atmosphere also makes students want to succeed and meet expectations set forth for the class. After growing up with both parents in the teaching profession I received my undergraduate degree in business from the University of Delaware. After working in the field of business, I realized the business world was not for me. I felt my calling was in education, just like my parents. That is when I decided to attend Drexel University to pursue my masters in education.

After volunteering and instructing summer literacy classes in Clearwater, Florida, I discovered my passion for teaching and children. I pursued an education degree at the University of Florida, where I earned my bachelors in 2009 and finished a masters with an emphasis in literacy and an ESOL endorsement in 2010. I also completed several school placements throughout the program, concentrating in kindergarten, third, and fifth grades. I recently accepted a job teaching in a charter school in Philadelphia. I enjoy working with children of all ages, especially targeting struggling early readers. I love teaching children, seeing them learn and discover things for the first time. I also love the challenge of finding different and creative ways to communicate information so that each student can be engaged in a subject and understand the material. I have found that being patient and consistent

In 2009, I graduated from Wesleyan University with two bachelors degrees, a BA in Government and a BA in Music. In combining two drastically different fields of study, I was able to develop a level of versatility and perspective that will serve me quite well as a tutor. One unifying theme in both disciplines is the necessity of strong reading and writing skills, which I believe I will be particularly adept in teaching. I enjoy teaching students who are eager to improve their skills. I am very good at easing the anxiety that many students feel when faced with unsatisfactory grades while presenting information in a simple and approachable tone. I believe that most academic problems are the result of a breakdown in the fundamental skill set that students are expected to have. As a result, I find that working slowly and methodically to evaluate each necessary skill is the best approach.

I believe that all children learn differently, so an effective teacher must adapt the message to reach all students In a class. In my classroom I teach using lessons that incorporate VATK (visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic)methods to teach the way my diverse students learn. For reading and mathematics test preparation, the methods used at my school have 100% of our students scoring proficient or above grade level on PSSA tests. Lessons should be organized, interesting, and should include a clear goal, and plan for achieving the goal. I also believe that students can achieve more when parents and teachers communicate regularly and when informed learned is reinforced at home on a regular basis. I received a Bachelor's degree from West Chester University in 2004, then continued my education at Delaware Valley College where I completed a teaching certification program. Along with
