Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Derby, NY

I have vast knowledge of the political system. My name is John Calleri and I have been a teacher for more than 30 years. During that time, I have taught in two languages, English and Spanish, and in three countries: the United States, Germany, and Spain. I have taught Social Studies to grades 7 to 12, Spanish to grades 9 to 11, and GED (high school equivalency) to students aged 17 to 40. My students have been stateside Americans, newly arrived immigrants to the U.S., the children of our military in Germany, and native Spaniards in the Canary Islands, Spain. My wife and I lived in Europe for more than four years, I lived in Mexico for a half year, and I have traveled extensively in Costa Rica and throughout South America. Since childhood I have been fascinated with the past – with how early peoples lived and thought - transporting myself in time and space as I fought the Battle of Quebec

My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills. Consult teaching in done during whole group instruction and two teachers team up to help advance stuggeling learners or learners with disabilities. I enjoy my work and love to see the results of the students I work wit

Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

Been an administrative aid for 3 years and have two degrees but just relocated here in the US. I am willing to tutor but I need materials and if provided, will see to it that I deliver. I have taken multiple major exams, state exams, entrance exams, licensing exams.

During my tenure at Buffalo State College, I volunteered at the Equal Opportunity Program, where my main strength was utilized by actively tutoring students in the art of the english essay. I was able to tutor these students and advise them in the general format of the essay. We began by procurring a general introduction, or a statement of fact,followed by the body of the essay, descriptive references, and tying it all together with a summary that proves the point that you have set out to make. I tutored many different students, but it was apparent that most students who excelled in math and science, struggled with English writing requirements. I love opening up a child's mind to the love of the written word. The possibility of expressing one's private thoughts and experiences have the power to change lives for the better. I have always been patient and understanding with children.

I believe in finding methods appropriate to each student, depending on their level of development and interests. There is no simple way to help students advance their learning, without a commitment to hard work and discipline. Helping motivate students is a product of finding common ground between student and teacher. Helping a student "see the light" in a subject of study is always exciting, and never gets old. I was recognized for my teaching abilities during my undergraduate years, having been selected as a teaching assistant as a freshman for sociology courses. As a graduate student, I spent much of my time as a teaching assistant and later as an instructor at the college level. I spent several years reading and evaluating statewide public school exams in science, math and writing, while helping shape the questions asked by state exam boards for primary and secondary

As a graduate of a SUNY school I had the pleasure of studying with people from all walks of life. I earned a Bachelor in History which I find vital for the development of our modern world. My writing skills have been developing since my High School studies and it only prepared me for my college writing assignments. I worked in South Korea for one year teaching and tutoring student ranging from 5 years to 16 years old children. I was responsible for setting up a daily curriculum and controlling the classroom. The past year in Korea has opened my eyes to the enjoyment I can receive from teaching. It made me realize how wonderful American schools are in their understanding and development for children. I hope to cater to all the learning styles that children need so that they learn the information to the best of their ability. My goal is to have all the children understand all the op

I am very much invested in both structured and intuitive teaching. I consistently try to instill in my students a sense of the dynamic interplay between these two facets of the production and maintenance of knowledge. I encourage them to know the inside of "the box", but to be ready and willing to think outside of it when the situation demands it (as it very often does). I want my students to speak for themselves, but to be equally capable of listening. I view teaching as a collaborative endeavor, and it is my firm belief that both teacher and student are always engaged in both aspects of its cause. That is, we are always both teachers and students together. I graduated from Rutgers University Cum Laud, and with departmental honors in English. After completing my undergraduate degree I traveled to Chile where I taught English at three private academies from grades 8 to 12. In addi

I’ve taught English and Theater at a variety of school settings for five years, including a self-contained classroom for “at risk” youth, an inner city arts magnet school, and a private alternative school for emotionally disturbed teens. In addition, I’ve taught Theater at the university and community college level for sixteen years. I believe that teachers are essentially translators of knowledge and skills for students to access in formats, which they can make their own. I am accustomed to teaching students of wide ranging levels of skill and ability. I am a trained actor and director in theater, and so I use dynamic techniques to immerse a student in an experience through which he/she can better understand academic content and their own internal perspectives and feelings. I have studied Shakespeare extensively and believe in using challenging forms of literature to expand student

Through my teaching experience, I have learned the importance of the relationship between the community and maintaining a positive classroom environment. As a student teacher I have had experience keeping parents involved with classroom activities and I believe that parental involvement is an important factor in creating effective teaching and learning for all students. Currently I am student teaching at Buffalo Public School #11, Poplar Street Academy. I lead small groups in the afternoon and use Harcourt Intervention to provide enrichment for struggling readers. I have been successful in pulling two of the five students up to benchmark level. I also developed a positive behavior management system that teaches students responsibility and accountability. My system has reinforced my philosophy of teaching; students learn and work better when a positive environment surrounds them.

My background in music performances in a school setting has taught me to be able to connect with a student in a very direct and honest manner. Each student is different with different strengths and weaknesses and my first job is to understand the needs of this individual student. I then begin to help the student address their needs and start learning. My experience in one-on-one music lessons also helps me to connect in a similar academic tutoring session. I have ten years experience teaching at the college undergraduate level at Canisius College, and five years at Hilbert College. I have been teaching Music History and Music Appreciation classes and always put the music into the social context in which it was produced. I have also taught World Music and Afro-Centric classes and again, place the content in its social context. Prior to this I had a number of years teaching Social Studie

I ask those whom I have taught to prepare written material on a subject. I do not attempt to "change their style" but only to adapt their own thoughts to the correct English usage. I also ask students to read their work aloud in order to impress upon them that the words must not only be "correct" but must sound like they are correct. Moreover, the ability to hear themselves speak their written words correctly gives each student a great deal of confidence. As an avid reader & writer, I have assisted many people in both written and spoken English. I instructed young people in the Army and as the owner of a small business. I have extensive experience in writing "White Papers" as the Deputy Director of Government and Community Affairs for the New York State National Guard. I was very active in political campaigns and have written and delivered oral remarks to government officials at the hi

I obtained all of my degress while I was working full-time jobs. My teaching experience at Damon College and SUNY Buffalo was as a part time "teaching assistant". I was never able to give up full time work in order to teach full-time, as part-time salries fell short of what I needed to support my family. Now that I am "retired" I would like to share the significant knowledge and my world travel experiences to help students learn about our world and how we came to this place. Many people have told me that I am a natural and very interesting teacher. I love my subject and have so much to offer. I would really appreciate the opportunity to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for History with students of all ages. Personable. I love to tell stories from history that illustrate the point I am trying to make. Date and names are only part of the lesson - the main thing is to allow th
