A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very flexible teaching style that differs with each student. I use real life examples to help the students understand the material.
I have 8 years of experience teaching Social Studies for schools in Washington, DC, Maryland, and North Carolina. I have also successful tutored students from grades 1-5 in Reading and Math for 1 year. While tutoring with Academic Achievement in Alexandria, VA, I successfully improved the test scores from the pretest to the posttest of my tutees.

My comments on tutoring Geography : I took a couple of courses as an undergrad.

I finished as an undergraduate with a major in economics, and minors in history, philosophy and religion. Next I worked for a year as a political risk analyst for a large multinational company helping them evaluate risks inherent to investing in unfamiliar environments. I found I enjoyed the work, but wanted to get more economics training with the hope of teaching economics. I moved from the for-profit company to their non-profit foundation that sponsored economic research, and spent the next 4 years evaluating grants in the area of economics, public policy, law and political science. I always found that one of my favorite parts of my job was teaching those I supervised about economics and government. Accordingly, during that time, I began a doctoral program in economics on a fellowship. After spending a year in the program, I determined I was not as fond of academia as I initially belie ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Mount Union College in May 2006 with a BA in History and a double minor in Adoloescent to Young Adult Education and American Studies. Throughout high school I was a teacher's assistant helping with students in class during my study halls as well as working one on one with students for extra study skills. In the past few years I have tutored students in elemtary math, middle school reading and writing, and even my own students before and after school in social studies. I currently teach Civics and Economics which is an EOC course and I have taught this for 6 years now. Throughout those 6 years I have been able to successfully teach my students how to pass standardized tests and overcome testing anxiety.
I love tutoring students because through my experience I have learned that one on one time can be really beneficial to all students. During this time I am able to re ... read more

IS based solely on the audiance in which I am teaching to.
I graduated a with a degree in History and a minor in art history. During my stent at UNC-CH it has been imperative for me to not only be a student, but also a teacher. On multiple occasions it was required to be to be either a discussion leader in a small group, or give full lesson plan to a class. I also have frequently helped my friends study for their general educations history classes at UNC.

Teacher with gentle touch - Very good at explaining new subj

Web manager and usability analyst as well as instructor. I have been asked at various jobs to teach training classes to my peers because of my ability to deliver an easy to understand lesson. I've been told I am very good at explaining a topic that someone has no experience with at all. I am on contract with NC States Computer Training Unit.
I try to find the teaching style that is going to work for the student. Are they visual? Do they need to touch to learn? Finding out how to teach them and then helping them learn skills for independent study are just as important as the material.

A Little Bit About Me...

I work with each student, their parents, and, when necessary, their teachers, to develop personalized study plans based on areas of concern as well as short and long-term goals and objectives. Depending on the students, we will use a variety of tools including individual instruction, current assignments and worksheets to insure progress and success in meeting daily, weekly, and quarterly goals.
As an experienced tutor, trainer and teacher for students from six to 60, my background includes tutoring in reading, composition, spelling, and social studies for grade, middle and high-school students as well as professional sales and product training for adults. I enjoy working with students of all ages, but especially enjoy middle-school students who desire help with reading, writing, social studies and American history.

Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.
Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in letting the child set the pace when it comes to private tutoring. I would listen to child to learn what truly interests them and inspires them. I would then use this is my lessons so they enjoy the learning process. Children enjoy learning anything when it is taught in the appropriate way. I learned this very quickly teaching English to French elementary age students.
I know what it takes to teach and learn a foreign language because I am fluent in French. I was inspired by watching the great teachers that I had in high school and college. I have taught English as a second language, so I have classroom experience to add to my general knowledge of the language and culture.

Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and synthesize that which they are learning into 'real-life' experiences. Also, I know each student learns differently, thus I am prepared to vary my approach to meet the needs of each student. I am confident in each student's ability to learn and be successful, and I am committed to achieving those goals.
Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religio ... read more

I believe that all children can learn and all children are capable of learning. But, all students learn differently, so, I feel that by changing lessons and incorporating different things into each one to accomodate most, or all, students is necessary. When children are able to learn and gain experiences on their own, with little or no teacher intervention, they learn at their best. By doing fun activities, children are able to gain and retain knowledge better. I want to be able to help children as much as I can, while still letting them learn on their own by making new discoveries.
As a graduate with a BS degree in Elementary Education, I have gained knowledge in the practice of teaching elementary school. I have been able to observe classrooms as well as student teach. I was able to put my knowledge to use while I student taught by planning all lessons, implementing fun and relev ... read more

As a graduate student I had the pleasure to both teach and tutor. I was a Teacher's Assistant for the Politics of the Policy Process for two semesters. As a TA, I led 20 students in section meetings, focusing on writing and communication strategies. Additionally, I tutored student athletes at Duke University for one year. I tutored students in numerous subject areas, including statistics, public policy, economics, basic writing, and political science. Finally, I have recently begun volunteer tutoring for 6th-8th graders in Durham.
My experiences as a tutor and instructor have given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that tutoring provides a unique opportunity for an instructor to help a student with not only the subject matter, but also with study strategies, priority setting, and building self confidence. I have tutored a wide range of students, ... read more
