My comments on tutoring Geography : I have traveled extensively throughout the United states and Europe. As an historian of the world , I have studied the geography of the world's continents from a political and human perspective. College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have helped many students to succeed academically. 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

I believe an outstanding teacher should be intelligent, creative, motivated and caring. She/he also needs to realize that each child is unique with various levels of potential. One must think "outside-the box," continue with ongoing education, and above all possess a passion for teaching.
Considering my extensive experience as an Elementary Teacher, Basic Skills Teacher, In-Class Support Teacher, ABA Instructor, and Recreational Professional, I feel I am highly qualified to tutor. As a past Pre-school Inclusion Teacher and an ABA Home Instructor/Parent Consultant, I have become familiar with the “High Scope” curriculum as well as assessing and evaluating students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I focus on starting small and helping the student develop on their own. For example, when I teach how to write a strong essay, we write many drafts of an introduction. Then, we write many drafts of body paragraphs. Last, we would focus on writing a conclusion. Then, by working seperately on all of an essay's parts, the combined product is much stronger. The art of teaching is similiar to building a house: you start with an idea, then a foundation, and finally the framework.
I volunteered at the Ocean County Library writing center for four years and helped my peers construct, organize, and layout essays. I also proofread, edited, and helped in the creative process of their essays. I am curreently working part-time at Ocean County Library (Lakewood Branch) tutoring k-12 students after school in the S.M.A.R.T kids program.

I began tutoring K through 5th graders at an elementary school. Many of my students only spoke Spanish at home. From then, I continued tutoring elementary school students with a wide range of abilities. A few of my students were gifted, and we worked on sharpening their already existing skills. Many of my students struggled in a specific area, and we were able to incorporate general study skills into our lessons. I was able to help all of my students with book reports and other projects that were more time consuming than regular homework assignments. Throughout college and law school I refined my own studying habits. I believe I can pass my study skills onto my students and help them focus, manage their time, learn and succeed.
Since 2000, I have tutored students of all levels in a variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a BA in communication (public relat ... read more

I enjoy working with children. I believe each child is different in the way that they learn and you have to vary your teaching style to the child. However, my general teaching style would be to provide examples that the child could relate to in their daily life.

I love to teach all different age groups, ranging from kindergarden to adults. My teaching style is relaxed and I believe in offering guidance through the learning process. I don't believe in forcing an individual. Instead, I like to guage each student's baseline, and proceed from there. I believe that each child has a right to a proper education.
I have been a tutor for peers and for grade levels below me since I was in the 9th grade. It began as a volunteer project, and slowly developed over time into part time work through college and medical school. I have learned that I am very passionate about teaching young minds about the importance and advantages of a strong basic education. It brings me satisfaction to be able spend time with individuals who are in need of some guidance, and I am able to offer this guidance, and therefore make a difference in their educational path ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught three different grade levels including ten years in kindergarten, three years in second grade and one year in third grade. My teaching experience has included both the private and the public sectors. During these years I also tutored children in my own class that were struggling or students that were referred to me by other teachers. My highest concentration was in the language arts and math.
I like to gear my teaching style to the student's learning style and interests. It is important to me that a child develops a love for learning early in their academic career. In order to promote this they must feel a level of success. The younger children respond better when learning is fun and appears to be more of a game than a chore. The best compliment a child gave me was when he said I was the best teacher because I liked being with him. The greatest compliment a parent gav ... read more

Every child has the potential to learn. However, every child is different and therefore, learns differently. It is important for an educator to understand this. It is crucial for a teacher to get to know their students and be able to create lesson plans that are not only innovative, but that are accomodating to each of their students. As a teacher, I realize that we are not perfect and that sometimes, a lesson that we may feel is incredible, may not be so incredible to a student. Therefore, it is important to be flexible and willing to try again using a different technique in order to reach all of your students. I truley beleive that as long as I constantly remain flexible and willing to learn, my students will follow.
I am a person that loves and believes strongly in education. I have earned a BA in Political Science and followed with an MS in Criminal Science as well as an ... read more

Currently, I am a graduate student pursuing a degree in Urban Education with a specialization in English as a Second Language. My undergraduate degree is in English. For the past two years I've been working as a substitute teacher while working on my degree. Recently, I have volunteered as a tutor for English Language Learners.

I have had experience with students from various backgrounds and have implemented different learning approaches for each individual student. I always aim to create lessons and learning strategies that are specific to a student's needs. I see my role as a facilitator who is there to help students learn and understand their subjects the way that best suits the student's learning style.

I attended the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morristown, NJ earning a dual degree in Elementary Education and Psychology. After completing my degrees I earned two certificates in Elementary and Special Education. During my time at college I also spent time in leadership positions, which readied me for becoming a classroom teacher. I began teaching multiply handicapped students to read, speak and use non-verbal communication skills. My education helped me to develop a pre-school handicapped program at Matheny School. I used my experience with pre-school handicapped to work in a summer program that benefitted students with basic skills needs. In Union Township I have taught both Middle School and High School Science and History.
I am a teacher because I enjoy hard work and helping student to feel successful. I want my students to experience meaningful, interesting learning th ... read more
