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. Identify strengths and weaknesses, focus on further developing strengths while progressively working on weaknesses.

Garrett G. - Pittsburgh, PA 15232 (41.9 mi) - Geography Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I have taught physical and social Geography. 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.

Kari G - Washington, PA 15301 (24.5 mi) - Geography Tutor - $40.50/hr.
In 2001, I graduated from IUP with a degree in elementary education. I substitute taught around the South Hills of Pittsburgh for a year, then moved to Virginia, where I taught fifth grade for four years. The first three years were in a public school and the fourth in a private school. I taught all subject areas and skill level abilities. I would describe my teaching style as hands on and according to multiple learning styles. I understand that students learn best when they have the option of working with material objects. I also realize that students all learn in different ways and therefore I try to teach to each student's learning style. If a student doesn't understand it one way, I try to teach it another way so that he/she can learn it.

Tunde F - Washington, PA 15301 (24.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.50/hr.
My number one priority is sharing the best of my subject knowledge with my students, guide and support them, increase their interest in my subject area and provide a caring learning environment. As a teacher I try to instill the love of learning in my students, help them develop respect for themselves and for others, give them the tools to cultivate their own potentials to become successful and capable learners. In my classrooms I incorporate hands on activities, individual work, group work and projects in order to make students active learners.
I am a dedicated teacher who believes in providing excellent subject knowledge, thorough preparation to achieve the high standard in each class. I graduated from the University of Pecs, Hungary in 1995 majoring History and English. I taught in a high school in Pecs, Hungary for 10 years. During that time I was a form teacher, a department chair

Lawrence G - Canonsburg, PA 15317 (26.2 mi) - Geography Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I believe that every child has the unalienable right to experience some success each and every day of their lives. My approach is hands-on, student centered and nurturing. I believe in learning by discovery and the use of manipulatives in a manner whereby the student learns without even knowing it.
The discovery approach is best to grasping knowledge but to process any and all information is tantamount. Knowing what to do with the information is far more important than just possessing it. Therefore, my students need to learn how to utilize their knowledge by applying it a variety of situations for true understanding. I had been a teacher for 12 years engaging in a multitude of learning styles and methodology. I spent 6 years serving as principal at all levels. I was Director of Education for two years and then served as Superintendent of Schools for two districts for a total of 15 yea

Heather P - Elco, PA 15434 (26.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching children at all levels. I find that children learn at different speeds and by different means. So, to be truly effective you have to present the information to the broadest base of students and hope you address all their needs. Having a great level of flexibility in your lesson plans is need to ensure that no one student falls behind. Over the past year, I served as an Americorps volunteer in an inner city charter school with an emphasis on character education. I worked one on one with students helping them with math, reading, and science skills. I assisted in classroom teaching of mini lessons too. I also helped with their after-school program, I also created supplemental study guides and multimedia software to help students to improve their study skills. Tutoring has been rewarding, because it has increased my interest in the field of education. Subsequently, I am s

Carl S - Charleroi, PA 15022 (27.8 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.00/hr.
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 to hel

Robert F - Muse, PA 15350 (28.2 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College, I had the opportunity to work in small work group settings and learned the value of tutoring firsthand. throughout high school, I had the opportunity to tutor younger students in first and second grade. Upon graduation, I was able to return to my old school and teach high school students how to excel in public speaking and forensic debate. These experiences have had a profound impact on my life. During college, I learned the value of writing through my experience as a columnist for the college newspaper and through years of extensive term papers. I would love to have a positive impact on a young student so that they may have the same experiences that I was able to have. I believe it is important to understand that every child is a different, and a different approach is necessary for them to each achieve their highest potential. I believe

Rebecca E - Belle Vernon, PA 15012 (29.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Curiosity and interest drive student motivation, where it is my job to help develop this foundation. I draw many pictures to help students relate to the content and be able to laugh. I put in the extra effort to make students enjoy themselves. I believe in a multicultural atmosphere, where diversity enriches learning in unmeasurable ways. I strive for a modern approach to teaching with a thick focus in real world application. As a mentor, I stay positive and embed critical thinking within all students. By staying flexible and maintain high expectations, a community of scholars exists. As a first generation college student, I appreciated when teachers made me feel special, and I try to do the same.

Jacqueline F - Bethel Parl, PA 15102 (31.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $42.00/hr.
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.
