Sociology is one of my top subjects! I have served as a tutor for introduction to sociology, social statistics, social theory, and a range of specified topics including but not limited to race/ethnic relations, marriage and family, gender/sexuality,urban sociology, wealth/power/inequality, and aging. I have primarily tutored to athletes and my strengths are being able to make these subjects both undertsandable and enjoyable.

I am currently finishing my Ph.D. in Sociology at Georgia State University, in the dissertation stage. I have been a lead graduate researcher for two years prior to beginning my dissertation. I have also been an athletic tutor for the past three years. Throughout my career I have helped all of my students to secure passing grades in theor classes, regardless of level of difficulty. While I do not do the work for you, I can teach you how to attain passing grades in your classes.
I believe that anyone can come to undertsand the underlying value of Sociology and can make the subject of Sociology enjoyable. While most professors do not require that a student enjoy what they learn, it is my personal belief that finding a personal connection to the subject matter allows the student to better learn, remember, and translate the material into an A in the classroom. I have helped the most re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a special education teacher, I have a passion for students who have more specific challenges or needs related to the learning process. Thus, I am an advocate for differentiated instruction and have experience meeting the challenges of these students. My delivery has provided multi-modal instruction to students with special needs both individually and within classroom settings. Students’ disabilities ranged from severe to mild. Support was provided in both small groups and in team taught classrooms. I have experience teaching and tutoring students in Language Arts, Literature, Social Studies, and Math based on students’ abilities.
I have a comprehensive background in both early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools. As a special education teacher, I am familiar with a vast range of student needs and current research-based practices to be used within the classroom. T ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My specialty is reading, writing and research. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas, where I studied government, law and economics. I believe most students can learn or solve any problem by talking it through, which is often easier and more effective than simply trying to think it through silently. I have helped students with research and writing on and off for 15 years and have the most experience in English, History, Economics, Psychology, Social Studies, Geography and paper writing (or research) of most any subject at any level.
The teaching style that brings the best success I've found is centered on two points. First of all, it is based on listening, which means getting the student to talk. Eventually, with guidance, I aim to get them the ability to talk through and solve any problem. The second major technique I like to use is analogies. Even co ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I find that there is something fascinating that we encounter on a daily basis. I enjoy bringing those events to light, and fostering student interest in the world around us. Whether it is a physical phenomenon, an inquiry into a scientific question, or a piece of literature, I believe that the relationship that is developed between the material and the learner is the tool through which real learning occurs. It is my goal to garner curiosity, present knowledge and provide insight so that students may govern their own thought process to learning. I believe that this is what leads to true education, and not simply the memorization of facts.
Since a child, I have always been curious of the world around me. My interests culminated with the completion of two degrees in the natural sciences. I consider myself a true inter-disciplinarian, supplementing both my degrees with courses in appli ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My backgrounds in special education (BS), adult GED preparation, and nursing (AAS - RN) have helped me develop into a patient, skilled, and compassionate teacher/tutor. I have a strong instructional foundation in basic math, pre-algebra, basic geometry, nursing math, anatomy and physiology, essay writing, English usage, and learning disabilities. As a published author, I know the importance of careful proofreading and editing skills and am well able to apply this knowledge with my writing students. I love teaching, learning, and researching. Working with students gives me the greatest job satisfaction I've ever experienced.
I love teaching both school-age students and adults. I believe the three most important qualities a teacher can bring to a student are expert skills in the areas being taught, patience, and optimism. I truly believe all students can learn, and I provide a safe a ... read more
