My comments on tutoring Geography : I have traveled extensively throughout the United states and Europe. As an historian of the world , I have studied the geography of the world's continents from a political and human perspective. College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have helped many 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

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe an outstanding teacher should be intelligent, creative, motivated and caring. She/he also needs to realize that each child is unique with various levels of potential. One must think "outside-the box," continue with ongoing education, and above all possess a passion for teaching.
Considering my extensive experience as an Elementary Teacher, Basic Skills Teacher, In-Class Support Teacher, ABA Instructor, and Recreational Professional, I feel I am highly qualified to tutor. As a past Pre-school Inclusion Teacher and an ABA Home Instructor/Parent Consultant, I have become familiar with the “High Scope” curriculum as well as assessing and evaluating students. My positions as a basic skills teacher in Toms River and Lakewood have helped me to develop various methods in teaching skills in oral language, phonological awareness, shared reading, comprehension, and writing in p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 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.

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring K through 5th graders at an elementary school. Many of my students only spoke Spanish at home. From then, I continued tutoring elementary school students with a wide range of abilities. A few of my students were gifted, and we worked on sharpening their already existing skills. Many of my students struggled in a specific area, and we were able to incorporate general study skills into our lessons. I was able to help all of my students with book reports and other projects that were more time consuming than regular homework assignments. Throughout college and law school I refined my own studying habits. I believe I can pass my study skills onto my students and help them focus, manage their time, learn and succeed.
Since 2000, I have tutored students of all levels in a variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a BA in communication (public relat ... read more

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught three different grade levels including ten years in kindergarten, three years in second grade and one year in third grade. My teaching experience has included both the private and the public sectors. During these years I also tutored children in my own class that were struggling or students that were referred to me by other teachers. My highest concentration was in the language arts and math.
I like to gear my teaching style to the student's learning style and interests. It is important to me that a child develops a love for learning early in their academic career. In order to promote this they must feel a level of success. The younger children respond better when learning is fun and appears to be more of a game than a chore. The best compliment a child gave me was when he said I was the best teacher because I liked being with him. The greatest compliment a parent gav ... read more

I have been privately tutoring elementary students in both reading and math for 9 years. I am an enthusiastic and fun teacher. Throughout my 9 years of experience I have worked with many different students and have tiered their lessons to each of their learning styles. I have taken many professional development courses to stay aware on the new techniques and tricks of the trade. I am extremely confident in my teaching skills and genuinely love teaching.
One might think working one on one with a teacher would be boring for their child, however, I always keep it interesting. I am a very funny, happy, and witty tutor. My students are never bored and are always happy to see me. My tutoring experiences have always been positive ones, and I provide my students with exceptional and engaging instruction. My goal is to make them love learning, for tutoring to not be seen as a punish ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I truly enjoy and strive at reaching children according to how he/she learns best, be it kinesthetic, tactile, auditory, visual, or all of the above. I create a lot of my own materials and make learning interesting and fun.
Have taught a total of nine years in elementary and middle school while raising my three children. It was during this time I discovered two of my three children were diagnosed with special needs. This prompted me to return to school where I obtain my Master's certificate in teaching students with disabilities. I wanted to learn more about how children with special needs learn and the best ways of reaching/teaching them.
