Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lorane, OR

Howard Gardner's teaching philosophy aligns with my teaching style. He believes there are multiple intelligences. Therefore, some students learn best with movement or art or hands-on activities and some are very logical and so on. As a teacher, I try to incorporate various intelligences into my lessons in order to meet a wide spectrum of educational needs. However, as a tutor, it is important for me to get to know the individual student in order to capitalize on his/her intellectual strengths and improve his/her weaknesses through using activities and methods which correspond. My experience has taken me across grade levels as well as across the world. In college, I studied educational methods, theories and philosophies as well as human development. During this time, I participated in classroom practicums (aiding with individual/ small group instruction) and then eventually student taught

I enjoy helping those who struggle with math. After working with a diverse group of students, age 10 to 55, I try to develop a unique teaching method with each person. Some people are more visual, others auditory, and some have math anxiety. After pin-pointing the specific struggles, I can better help the student acheive success. I am a recent graduate of Drury University. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Cum Laude. I have been tutoring mostly college students for the last 2 years, while in school. I specialize in Algebra, but have the ability to help with any type of math class. In addition to college students, I have also helped elementary students.

My teaching career began in Australia in 1974. I taught in a private school for four years. After returning to Oregon, I attendd the univeersity earning my bachelors and teacher's certification.My teaching assignments included middle school social studies- world history, American history, geography, and language arts. My high school assignments include world history, American history, and geography. I am skilled in teaching study skills. My teaching style adapts itself to student needs. I like to balance the affective and the cognitive domains. I organize the lesson teaching general overview and vocabulary first then move to specifics and personal applications that can be framed creatively. I teach with a commitment to the subject and the belief that the student deserves my best effort.

Throughout my college experience, I have had multiple chances to volunteer as a classroom aide, tutor, and student teach. As I am certified to teach grades K through 8, I have taken college courses in all subject areas. I have pursued in greater detail language arts, mathematics, and social science in order to earn my middle school endorsements. I have tutored students from elementary grades up through algebra 2. I have begun learning Mandarin, Spanish, and Polish. Also, I have a passion for learning which I hope to impart on my students. I was a classroom aide for a first and third grade classroom, and student taught in a third and fourth grade classroom. I believe in a teaching approach that takes into consideration each child's unique culture. Not only is culturally appropriate teaching beneficial, it's necessary! I plan to implement interactive learning and integrate curriculum. In d

My goal as a teacher is for all students to achieve academic success. I enjoy being part of learners’ growth and achievement and I use my teaching skills and patience to motivate students to move beyond what they consider to be their best and to create a new best. One of my strengths as a teacher is the ability to incorporate different activities into a lesson plan in order to reach students with different learning styles. My travels abroad and experiences as an ESL instructor give me the knowledge, skills, and sensitivity to work with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds as well. With an MA in TESOL(Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) I have instructed international students from various cultures and language backgrounds in academic English reading/ writing/grammar classes and listening/speaking courses through an intensive program at the university level.

I truly enjoy what I do. I love enabling students to achieve their goals, become self sufficient, and successful. I teach to the individual, looking for individual strengths and weaknesses; then modify my approach to meet the needs of the individual student. My goal is to enable the student to be and do their best. I have many years of experience working with students of all ages and abilities. I have taught in public schools, in private schools, with troubled and behavior problem youth, incarcerated youths (13-20 years of age), as well as home-schooled students, small group, and one-on-one. I have tutored students in all levels of math, science, English, Spanish, social studies, and history. I also have experience with SAT and ACT prep.

I believe in high academic expectations for my students and clear and transparent communication with them and their families. I believe in setting consistent and attainable goals for my students to initiate and maintain a record of success to build their self confidence and embolden their academic ambitions. Regardless of whether my students currently intend on going to college, I believe in a rigorous high school academic discipline that projects success in college and beyond. After graduating from Wheaton College with high honors, I served as a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic where I taught English conversation and researched the role of the Catholic Church in the post-communist era. Subsequently, I served as an AmeriCorps Member for 2 years providing academic tutoring and life-skills training. I moved to Boston in 2008 to teach/tutor at one of the top high schools in the coun

As a graduate in meteorology with a minor in math, I have had plenty of experience with math and science. I have had the pleasure of sharing this knowledge by tutoring children in these fields. My first experience occurred when I was a senior in college: I tutored students in math individually and in groups. It was enjoyable to assist students in Algebra up to Calculus. I gained more tutoring experience when I assisted high school and college students while I worked for Carney Educational Services recently. I have also been a teacher. First, I gained some valuable experience as a substitute teacher. Then, I had a blast while I was an instructor at Astrocamp. Getting kids excited about science was awesome. Making school awesome for students is challenging, but it is something that gives me a lot of satisfaction. Before I begin teaching, I create several goals and strategies to make it cl

My teaching style is probably best suited to high school and college students. Although I successfully helped my own 3 children through their elementary school, high school and college years, my tutoring experience has been with older students. My wife is a Montessori trained teacher so I have absorbed that method for tutoring. Each student must be viewed as an individual to define the areas of weakness and fill them in. It is only when the student understands the basics of a subject that they can build a future in it. Although I have earned my degree, BS in Psychology, my previous education includes 2 years at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico and 2 years of Engineering at Oregon State University. The years at St. John's have given me the unusual ability to tutor students in Ancient Greek. They laid a foundation in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Calculus which the year

For the past three years I have taught first grade in Florida. For one year I tutored third grade students in a Saturday School program. I have worked for a learning center providing educational support to students of all levels during the summer. While teaching in Florida I obtained an ESOL endorsement on my teaching certificate through 300 hours of training. In addition, I have worked closely with the veteran teachers in my school to gain skills toward becoming a more effective educator. My philosophy towards education involves connecting with my students individually to motivate them and maximize their potential. Because children’s needs are so diverse, I am careful to set individualized, attainable goals for them. Otherwise, a frustrated child will quickly lose his excitement for learning. I believe in creating hands-on activities that trigger creative thinking, and I’ve found this t

As a Graduate Teaching Fellow (GTF) in the Philosophy Department at the University of Oregon, I assist faculty by running two weekly 50-min discussion sections of approximately 30 students, and I am responsible for evaluating these sixty students' work for the class, particularly written work, and exams. This year I have acted as a GTF in the following courses: Phil 110 (Human Nature), Phil 102 (Ethics), and PHil 170 (Philosophy of Love and Sex). As a Writing Associate at Swarthmore College (2002-2005), I was hired and trained by Swarthmore College to tutor Swarthmore students in academic writing. I conference with the students of an assigned course to aid them in revising essays for that course. I advised students on a drop-in basis at Writing Center. As a senior, I was appointed to mentor WAs in training. Also during my Swarthmore career, I acted as student grader for an introductory l

As a water safety instructor for the past 10 years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages and at all levels. I am passionate about teaching and about children. I have several years' experience working in the public schools for my practicum and observation hours working towards my teaching certification. I studied French at the UO and minored in both Spanish and Italian. I have traveled in Europe and spent 2 months in France, gaining a real foothold on the language. I currently work with Kindergartners seven hours/day five days/week while I work on my MAED. I absolutely adore children and the innocence and passion they bring to my life. I believe each child has his or her own particular learning style and method that works best for him as well as his or her own academic struggles. It is a teacher's job to find out what way to best reach each child individually and as a group.
