Elementary School Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Searchlight, NV

I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations. I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves.

Teaching and learning are inextricably linked. Hence, I espouse to an approach that focuses more on tapping into the students learning schema than on teaching/tutoring per se. That being said, I am very interested in establishing the motivation/purpose for learning and then developing a plan, with the student, and where appropriate the parent, that will help the student achieve his/her desired goal and/or purpose. Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success. What's more, as a former struggling central city and at-risk student, I understand that students can only learn when they can make meaning out of their learning experience. For that reason, my e

My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research experiences across many subdivisions in the field of Psychology. My education ranges from expertise in Social Psychology to Cognitive Neuroscience, however is not limited to these domains. While working toward my graduate degree I was involved in analyzing vast amounts of data, writing scientific manuscripts, and general laboratory management. In addition to this, I also taught a weekly seminar for undergraduates that worked in my laboratory and tutored them throughout the week in how to learn and implement various research techniques. Thus, throughout my education and research experience I have developed superior skills in mathematics, writing, and communication that are critical to being an excellen

AS a graduate of SUU, I have always loved working with children. I love watching them grow and learn. I have tutored many students in reading, for it is my passion. I have earned a BS degree in Elementary education, with a minor in Literacy. I have good skills in teaching other subjects, such as math, science and history. I love working with children and watching them grow. I believe they all have different ways in which they learn. I am patient, and considerate of students and will help them until they get the answer. My goal is to help the child learn how to get the outcome to a problem. I will strive to make a difference in all their lives, to live, learn and grow.

I love children and I love being able to share my love of learning with them. Children want to learn and there is nothing better than seeing a child’s face light up when they “get it.” Even though I have science degrees, I have never found my science or math courses to be particularly easy. Therefore, I can empathize with students who are finding difficulty in learning these and other subjects. I realize that everyone learns differently and I communicate with students so that I can understand what works best for them. Everybody can learn and students need educators who care about them and their education. My professional experience and educational experience have been intertwined for many years. As a laboratory technician, I not only learned how important accuracy and precision are when performing analyses, but I also learned how truly interesting science could be. That intrigue l

My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed. I driven to find innovative ways to make them learn, like using coins and other objects like liquid containers. Making jokes about historical events that are so dumb they have to remember. I believe we can change the world a couple people at a time. I am a enthusiastic 21 year old in a 51 year old body. I am able to reach students of all ages and to find out what they require to learn.

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007.

As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. Both bachelor degrees that I have earned have done just that. My BA in Journalism and Media Studies has enhanced my writing and grammatical skills, while my BA in Political Science has deepened my analytical and logic skills. I have put these abilities into practice while tutoring for the last two years in English, reading comprehension, and social studies classes. My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does no
