My comments on tutoring American History : I recently received my B.A in History from SUNY Plattsburgh and I am currently pursuing a M.A in History at CUNY Brooklyn.

In the past I have engaged students with music, film clips and leading questions to put a new perspective on required reading.
As a student of history in both undergraduate and graduate school I have been trained to read actively, think critically, and write creatively. I also have experience working as a Youth Advocate and Direct Service Professional. Additionally, I volunteered my time as a teaching assistant for two college level courses, Civilizations and Cultures of Southern Africa and African American Culture.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of the University of Michigan with a bachelors in History I feel that I have more than adequate educational experience to tutor students of not only History but also English, Reading, and Writing given their status as essential elements to my study of history. Furthermore my life experience in sales, hospitality, undergraduate research, and with education as an after-school teaching assistant in the New York Public School system has left me well rounded and a great communicator. I feel that I have a strong impact both in terms of building relationships and in connecting people with knowledge and ideas.
As someone who felt in my youth that if I could only pay attention I could learn anything has taught me how to break down the barriers to focus and how it can shape a students success in any discipline. Focusing on my learning style has taught me how to demonstrate comp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their abilities. Being devoted to this assertion confims that I have made the right career choice for myself. I love working with young people, and will continue to strive to be a positive influence in their lives.
I have earned a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have over 15 years of teaching experience in all grade levels. I have spent the majority of my teaching career educating young adults in the areas of math, science, reading, social studies and writing.

I am not a professional teacher, but I played one in newsrooms at several newspapers. During a span of 20 years as reporter, sports writer, copy editor, section editor and editor-in-chief, I trained many new hires -- and even a few veterans -- in spelling, grammar, punctuation, comprehension of written material and in writing. I did not take graduate classes, but I did take the Graduate Record Exam. I scored in the upper 15% in both Verbal and Essay. I do not consider myself a classically trained scholar or academic. My knowledge comes from practical experience and in knowing study approaches in advance of taking standardized test.
I am patient and encouraging. I have a talent for identifying how people learn. It is important to know what works with people in order to dail into the proper approach. Some people can read and immediately understand. Others need the repetition of hands ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have had experience working with a vast majority of students. I believe that each student develops a particular way of learning, and it is my job to figure out that method and build upon it. My student teaching assignments have prepared me to assist students from many different backgrounds and lifestyles. I have tutored and managed students from rural Peru, NY to the inner city students of Harlem, NY. I am able to use my easygoing nature to my advantage with out compromising the goals and objectives that are in place. Additionally, I feel that students should have a say in how and why they learn. I try and make learning something that they look forward to as apposed to a chore or something they may not want to do.
As a teenager, I began helping students with the New York Institute of Special Education as a camp counselor during the summers. As I progressed with my education, beco ... read more
