I can assist you in Elementary Japanese and Humanities.

Identify strengths and weaknesses, focus on further developing strengths while progressively working on weaknesses.
I have previously tutored elementary age children in Social Studies and have tutored English to college students in Japan. I've been focusing on my own schooling for quite a while now, but now that I have a more open schedule this semester, I would like to take that opportunity to tutor students here in Pittsburgh in Elementary Japanese (High School Level, First Year College Level) and various subjects in the Humanities.

American History is one of my top subjects! I have a degree in History with specific emphasis on American History. I have also taught the subject countless times.

I am a Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from an NCATE accredited university that has a rigorous education program. In that program, I was required to teach elementary students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and adult classes. I have been teaching for three years and tutoring for five years. I have taught multiple types of learners in multiple subjects with a significant amount of success.
I am a great speaker, and I can easily relate to my students. I push my students thoroughly to reach their objectives, because I do not believe there is anyone who cannot learn a subject. I have never had a student fail on my watch, and I do not intend to ever have that happen if a student is trying. If you have the will to learn, I will see to it that you increase your grade.

More About This Tutor...

This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math and business, specifically statistics and quantitative analysis. Although this teaching experience was with college level students, I have held a summer job working with 8-12 year olds for the past four years. When I finish my Master’s Degree, I may consider teaching at an institution such as CCAC because I enjoy helping others with their education.
As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Have been teaching and tutoring all my life! I have been told by many people that this is a natural talent I possess. I am somewhat of a generalist in the sciences and keep pretty much up to date in the field. I feel that my training in Psychology is an added skill set that can be useful as a tutor. I have friends in the field who tell me I would be successful in the field, and most important (to me), I would bring passion, a depth of understanding, and [hopefully] joy to myself and the "tutee"!
I am, by nature, an "explainer" who can easily put himself in the shoes of the student. With patience, and a knack for common communication, I have been able to cogently and clearly, I feel, get across abstruse and complex concepts, issues and ideas to those patient enough to follow the process. I have been an active member of my local chapter of Cafe Scientifique (Pittsburgh), and this has ... read more

I realized my passion for teaching after working in a daycare for two years and organizing their preschool program. At, Carlow my teaching experiences were enhanced through my various field placements and student teaching. In October 2008, I began working as the third grade teaching assistant, at The Urban League of Pittsburgh Charter School. I taught Social Studies, Handwriting, worked in small groups and helped with after school tutoring. In February 2009, I became the primary reading coach at ULGPCS. In this position, I taught whole class lessons on reading comprehension techniques such as visualization, summarizing, and predicting. In addition to these responsibilities, I pulled out small groups of at risk, first and second grade students to improve reading fluency, decoding, and comprehension skills. Also, with the help of the Process Writing technique, I instructed writing to fi ... read more

I believe that all children learn differently and at different levels and as a teacher, you need to recongize that and adapt your lessons to your students so they can achieve. For social studies, most student think that class is all about taking notes and reading from the book but I put a twist on all of my lessons. I do a lot of group projects, I have the students do presentations for each other on the material and also reanacts of big events to help the students understand what really happened with that specific event and how it impacted history.
As a recent graduate from Westminster College, I have earned a BA in History and my PA teaching certificate for 7-12 in Social Studies. I have had experience in teaching grades 9-12 and tutoring students in grade 10 in subjects other than social studies such as science, math, and spanish. I have also volunteered to teach in my church ... read more

I believe in a constructivist approach to education. Stusents come with prior knowledge of topics. My goal is to get those students to connect prior knowledge with new information. I also believe that there are mltiple ways that students learn. They can have multiple intelligences in several areas, such as artistic, kinesthetic, or visual and spatial. My challenge is to assess each student's learning style and then design activties that work to that style. EVery student can learn, and my goal is to facilitate that learning.
I returned to school in 2007 to pursue a career in education. In several corporate positions, I was responsible for training new employees in various store operations. I have volunteered as a teacher in my church and taught Sunday School at the middle school level. During my courses and student teaching, I utilized many hands-on and inquiry-based tools ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel as if I have been preparing for this role my entire life. While still in high school, I became a peer tutor for grades K-12. I continued tutoring while attending Saint Vincent College, where I volunteered as a teacher for the Step-Up Program - I taught a literature class for home and cyber school students. For the past year, I've been a substitute teacher in many local school districts and have also completed some one-on-one tutoring in secondary level History and English. My broad range of teaching and tutoring experience has allowed me to acquire an array of techniques and information, including extensive grammatical and researching skills.
I have always enjoyed working with children. My current position as a substitute teacher and tutor has allowed me to work with many different children and experience how to teach in different settings. Each child learns differently, and ... read more
