Social Studies Tutoring
Social studies is the "integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence," as defined by the National Council for the Social Studies. Looking for help? Select a tutor today. At the elementary school level, social studies generally focuses first on the local community and family. By middle and high school, the social studies curriculum becomes more discipline-based and content-specific. It includes various fields which involve past and current human behavior and interactions, such as sociology, history, political science, economics, religion, geography, psychology, anthropology, and civics.

Jesse M - Waukee, IA 50263 (31.3 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
As an Iowa State graduate, I was very driven to not only achieve a great education but to actually learn the material set forth by my professors. At Iowa State I started with as a sociology major but throughout my career I was able to find additional interests and ended my tenure at Iowa State with a degree in Sociology and Political Science, with minors in Criminal Justice and Philosophy. Throughout these studies I have learned that basic logic can get around many of the learning impediments that individuals have. By getting on the same page with your students I believe that you are better able to relay the information to them in a way that they better understand. In my year of tutoring I have tutored students in Math, Sociology, Political Science, English and Philosophy. I enjoy teaching with individuals of all ages. I believe that every person should learn something new everyday and

Virginia C - Johnston, IA 50131 (37.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a twenty year veteran of the advertising agency business, I have had significant training and experience in communication skills. I am both a talented writer and presenter and have gained teaching experience through volunteer programs and as a guest lecturer.
I have spent the past several years running a media planning business from my home, using the flexibility this arrangement allowed to complete my Masters Degree.
I have extensive writing and research experience with superior grammatical skills. My teaching philosophy mirrors my learning philosophy. I believe in using a variety of methods and media to reach students on a level they can understand. Knowing that not all students learn in the same way necessitates an understanding of individual facilitation as well as group facilitation. I believe in creating an environment that creates curiosity and engagement that will result in

Vedad C - Des Moines, IA 50310 (39.7 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have tutored and mentored my friends and classmates in school. I feel comfortable guiding students and helping them with problem solving. I like to do research on problems i can not resolve and i try to solve them within a reasonable amount of time. There are different ways of going about solving a problem. There are chat rooms on chatzilla, google, netbeans.org and tutorials which guide one to the solution. I use the combination of all. I also carry my laptop around where ever possible. Work for me never ends. I am working 24/7. I take my programming skills and career very seriously and wouldn't jeopardize it in any circumstance. At the same time i am lenient, love diversity and a good joke. Tutoring is fun because you become a problem solver and a student all over again. I would consider taking several classes to refresh my knowledge. I have Bachelors in Computer Science and MIS. I a
