My comments on tutoring Sociology : I am a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of sociology tutoring experience. I have helped many students to understand complex social theory. I am patient and understanding.

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 includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

PhD Educated RN - Nursing, Science, Research Expertise

Teaching became a passion for me while completing my PhD. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant in undergraduate clinical nursing classes and have taught research classes at the Graduate level. As a Nurse Educator, I have received multiple teaching awards including Teacher of the Year for the Northeastern United States.
My tutoring philosophy focuses on identifying your strongest areas in a subject and building upon your strengths until you are confident in your ability to achieve your goals. During our initial meeting, we will discuss and create an action plan to ensure your academic goals are achieved. Tutoring sessions can focus on preparing for a test, tutoring throughout a course, or tutoring sessions that focus on developing strategies for a research paper, Capstone paper, and Senior/Graduate Thesis.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent graduate of Oberlin College, a school known for producing "lifelong learners". As a Neuroscience major, I studied many areas of science, including biology and chemistry, but am also proficient in English and Art. I have previously been an assistant camp teacher in early childhood education, but I have also taught animation techniques to children ages 8-14 in a summer internship position with the National Children's Museum in Washington, DC.
I am a patient and creative teacher. I tailor my approach to the individual personality and learning style of the student. I enjoy working with children and am determined to help them bloom, whatever the subject matter. I am personally a lifelong learner, and my ultimate goal is to share the experience of academic discovery in a structured and useful way.

I love to share my knowledge and share my skills with others in a way to help them learn and grow. The way that I do this is by: 1) evaluate the child's skills, 2) acknowledge the child's skills and build his/her confidence as a stepping stone for future learning, 3) work to add to the current skills by adding to them. My greatest tutoring experience was teaching a mature adult man to read. I was able to improve his life by teaching him reading skills. His driving skills improved because he learned to read road signs. I also helped him build life skills such as learning how to write checks and balance his checkbook.
During the last 10 years, I have been a Peer Tutor to University students, a Literacy Tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America, and an individual tutor to local children. I have extensive experience with all types of writing skills: from poem writing, to letter wri ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate at UConn, I pursued a number of fields from computer science to communications and philosophy, giving me a wide range of experience in a multitude of subject areas. In my senior year, I became a substitute teacher for grades 7-12 in all subjects. I am currently a graduate student in criminal justice, writing papers and doing research almost continuously.
As an active member of Mensa International and someone who's consistently done well in number-related fields, I've come to love teaching what I can understand. I perceive the world in a very unique way and I excel at using my perspective to help my students understand what others typically have difficulty imparting to them. I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.

My love for learning drives me to do all that I can to make learning fun and motivating for others. I employ Gardner's eight multiple intelligences into my teaching so that material is presented in various ways. This allows students with different learning styles to be reached and to gain knowledge during each lesson. Hands-on learning is a mainstay of my teaching style as most children learn best from concrete learning. My aim is to invoke a love of learning in all the students I work with.
Education is a large part of who I am. I have earned two Bachelor degrees, BS in Human Development and Family Studies as well as a BA in Sociology. I initially worked in the field of social work upon graduation which gave me great insight into family life, sociological influences, and the impact of socio-economic factors on education. I feel I am better prepared to deal with the differen ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During high school, a manager at work asked if I would help tutor his Hispanic children. The tutoring lasted for about a year and we were all satisfied with the results. After graduating from Rutgers in 2006 with a BA in Psychology, I found a job as a residential counselor for the Devereux Foundation. Math and writing were top priorities and daily notes were taken to see how well each client progressed each week. I now work with a population of students who have developmental disabilities, such as autism. We focus our time on math, grammar, science, the arts, and social skills as well. Also, I have an extensive background in writing and researching due to my undergraduate and graduate work (MS completion).
I believe in education and feel that everyone has the right to a solid foundation in learning to begin or expand their lives. Most of my experience comes with children, but I hav ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While I hold high standards for academics, I am a fervent believer in learning through meaning. Every lesson plan I have taught has been designed so that it doesn't "feel" like a lesson plan, but rather, has been an experience. I believe it is essential to create a learning environment that engages the student actively, and educates them not just in the subject matter, but holistically, socially, and humanistically.
In my undergraduate studies, I focused primarily on the student's use of imagination as it relates to literacy comprehension. While I have successfully completed credits in advanced mathematics and engineering, my passion is in English. I have scored consistently in the 90th+ percentile on standardized tests in the writing portions (Including the GRE), and have done exhaustive research for a local professor in preparation for a manuscript.

More About This Tutor...

As an undergraduate, a professor in the Psychology department recruited me to be a teaching assistant in Statistics after she found me freely tutoring my classmates in the lobby (I'd also earned an A grade in her course). I was just a sophomore at the time, and was able to hone my tutoring skills over the next two years in both Statistics and Psychology. In 2006 I received the Sibley English Composition prize from my school, and I have a passion for writing in addition to the subjects mentioned above. Since graduating, I have been responsible for training on a variety of levels at Nordstrom, including assisting department interns with reading statistical sales reports and composing interpretive reports of their own.
Teaching is the most fulfilling experience I have ever had. I am a person who learns by doing, and it has been my experience that actively working with the material alo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style as one that consistently attempts to meet the student at his or her current level of need, with the aim of continuously moving him or her toward the goal of competency in the subject area, particularly as it relates to the critical thinking skills needed to accomplish the task. Practice makes perferct; but, without the adequate thought processes needed to accomplish the task, any amount of practice is undermined.
As a graduate student and as a professional researcher, I have the opportunity to teach as a graduate assistant and adjunct faculty. Over the years, as I have pursued my masters and doctorate level degrees, I have worked with students of all types to assist them in their writing skills in preparation for personal statements as well as for specific courses.
