Social Studies Tutor Available

Interactive Participative Welcoming Encouraging
I taught social studies in Ocean County from 1994 - 2002. I have been a school administrator since 2002. I have experience with both high school and middle school curriculum. I believe in trying to instill a love of learning with every student I meet. Every lesson I taught encouraged students to read, research, write and speak aloud.

My comments on tutoring American History : I hold two degrees in History (BA and Master's), in which I am extremely interested. Understanding the past helps us understand the present. As a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience, I have helped many High School and College students to succeed academically. 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

More About This Tutor...

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a practicing attorney, who strives for high level of excellence in everything I do. I have skills in history and political science. I also have experience with public speaking. As an attorney, I also have a vast knowledge of research and writing.
I enjoy working with children. I believe each child is different in the way that they learn and you have to vary your teaching style to the child. However, my general teaching style would be to provide examples that the child could relate to in their daily life.

I currently hold a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Sociology. My major gpa was a 3.4 and I graduated from Rutgers College in New Brunwick which when I attended was the toughest school to get into within the Rutgers University system. I also have several years experience running an online sales business and plan to further my education in the near future since I value education highly for both personal and professional growth.
I don't have any professional teaching experience but by running a business for the past two years I feel that is good experience when it comes to dealing with the unexpected and having to always think on your toes. I deal with a variety of personality types on a daily basis and I feel this would help me transition into teaching. I am also a professional musician and have tutored a number of people in the field of electronic music production

I have been a tutor for peers and for grade levels below me since I was in the 9th grade. It began as a volunteer project, and slowly developed over time into part time work through college and medical school. I have learned that I am very passionate about teaching young minds about the importance and advantages of a strong basic education. It brings me satisfaction to be able spend time with individuals who are in need of some guidance, and I am able to offer this guidance, and therefore make a difference in their educational path.
I love to teach all different age groups, ranging from kindergarden to adults. My teaching style is relaxed and I believe in offering guidance through the learning process.

Currently, I am a graduate student pursuing a degree in Urban Education with a specialization in English as a Second Language. My undergraduate degree is in English. For the past two years I've been working as a substitute teacher while working on my degree. Recently, I have volunteered as a tutor for English Language Learners.
As an ESL instructor, I understand the special needs ELLs require as they learn a new language. I have had experience with students from various backgrounds and have implemented different learning approaches for each individual student. I always aim to create lessons and learning strategies that are specific to a student's needs. I see my role as a facilitator who is there to help students learn and understand their subjects the way that best suits the student's learning style.

I am a very patient teacher, and I'm willing to take the time to explain any concepts a student is having trouble with. I have tutored several courses while I was attending college including several biology courses, organic chemistry, and physics. My experience in the Peace Corps has taught me to approach subjects in an “out of the box” way, which I can translate into a unique and effective teaching style.
I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I served in The Gambia West Africa as a health and community development volunteer. As a volunteer I worked in a local hospital on a daily basis, performing a variety of roles. I am a graduate of Roger Williams University. I have a BS in biology. RWU's science courses are intensive in both lecture and laboratory proficiency. As a result I’m able to tutor both lecture and laboratory portions of a cours ... read more
