A Little Bit About Me...

Education: Montclair State University BA - Art History BA - General Humanities Minor - Art History Other - Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society I am a museum educator and professional writer. Museum Education: I began volunteering with a local museum in the fourth grade and have continued ever since. I have always preferred working in living history museums as opposed to the big, dusty museums with everything behind glass beside little plaques that are too wordy even for industry professionals to find interesting. I've had many wonderful experiences portraying real individuals as well as no-name individuals from the Revolutionary War all the way up through the first half of the 20th century. Real, tangible history is what I always aim for - I can cook on a wood burning stove and know the basics of pre-industrialized farming, just to name a few things. Writing: I ... read more

My comments on tutoring Political Science : 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.

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
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 incl ... read more

Political Science is one of my top subjects! I practiced the principles of political science when I was elected as a magisterial district judge having organized and conducted my political campaign. My political experience and service as a public official enable me help students understand the importance of the political process in the United States.

I conduct a needs assessment for each of my students; and tailor my tutoring program accordingly. I establish an agenda, and provide the necessary instruction. My sessions are interactive so students are expected to participate in the session in order to reinforce subject concepts. Homework consists of readings, completion of subject-matter exercises, and oral presentations to establish confidence in public speaking.

I have been a teacher for nearly 14 years. I have enjoyed elementary school. The children like the way I teach them all their subjects that are needed. Many times I have taken students who have problems with various subjects and them have elevated themselves for a better understanding of the subject they had trouble with. Tutoring I also do in many subjects. I am called in by different agencies to help students who have difficulty with either a subject or others. GED I also teach and my students seem to do well and pass their test.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a doctoral candidate in pedagogy at Montclair State University and employed as an adjunct professor of Philosophy at Raritan Valley Community College.
I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to ... read more

The combination of my over 12 years as an equity trader, and my education - both as an undergraduate with a double major in Economics and Political Science, as well as my current graduate work - gives me extensive expertise and knowledge in a number of areas. My trading experience and my undergraduate work in economics has given me a solid understanding of both economic and financial concepts. My current work at the Rutgers Graduate School of Education has not only allowed me to hone my skills as a teacher, but also has allowed for further exploration of other areas of the social sciences, as well as history. Furthermore, I have excellent writing and research skills and have had one of my research papers published in an academic journal.
The most important part of teaching is to make content relevant to the student by using a student-centered approach that takes the student's skill ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a professional educator, my passion and purpose is to share my love of learning and history with students. I have a BA in European History and I have been teaching American, European and World history to high school students for the past three years. I am committed to helping students become independent learners. In my classroom I emphasize critical thinking while building writing and research skills. I have tutored students in essay writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary in addition to history.
The most important thing I do as a teacher is to provide my students with the tools they need to be confident in their skills and abilities both in and out of the classroom. I have worked with students from a wide variety of backgrounds, learning styles, and abilities and have a track record of successfully motivating even the most unenthusiastic students. My goal is to help stud ... read more

My teaching style is one of speed. I narrow in on the student's weaknesses and acquire any and all information that helps them address that.
People have told me all my life what a great teacher I would be. I have also been fortunate to have acquired a vast number of friends who are not native born Americans. As such, I have always helped them learn English. It was one of the reasons I chose to study International Relations as a Master's candidate, to learn more about the world. I have spent the last 11 years helping people from all cultures learn my native language, and it is a very rewarding experience.

More About This Tutor...

As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for most of my classes. I can see why students are missing the concept and I am creative enough to devise new approaches.
I am a successful graduate of Susquehanna University, having earned a BA in International Studies. This study of cultural anthropology allowed me ample experience with writing, grammar, and research. I will be attending Rutgers University next year to earn a Master of Science degree in Microbiology. I am very experienced in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, and Math on all levels. In addition to my devotion to the sciences, I have maintained an advanced-conversational level of fluency in French an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching.
I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell produc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was a teaching assistant for three of my four years at the University of Delaware. I taught courses, as well as tutored students and graded exams. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience in sciences and english, specifically biology and microbiology, as well as excellent grammar skills.
I believe teaching others a skill or new information is a gift, to both myself and the student. When the light goes off in their head, and the "I got it!" look comes across their face, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I am very patient, and understand that each student learns at their own speed. Additionally, I know that each student is different, which will sometimes require a new teaching technique. I believe everyone can learn; sometimes it just takes the right teacher for the right student.
