Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Marcellus, NY

I'm a fifth-teen year old, currently enrolled at Thomas J. Corcoran High School, where I am a sophomore I currently take IB classes and wanted to start tutoring to pass the time and pick up a little extra cash. I'm drug free and have never tasted alcohol. I try to be patient and usually am. I'd prefer to work with children still in elementary or middle school, seeing as I haven't learned everything yet. I know the basic and more to just about everything eighth grade and below. Typically the setting in which the tutoring will take place will be my house in my dining room area and after that the student may watch television until his or her parent or guardian is there to pick them up.

I really enjoy engaging the student in discussion of the topic and helping them experience the events in History rather than just remembering dates and locations. I am currently pursuing a degree in secondary education with a specialization in American History. I have a passion for the subject and for helping students succeed. I just completed my practicum last fall and was active in a 10th grade World History class for about 10 hours a week. During the summer of 2011 I was employed at girl scout camp in Lake George where I planned and taught History lessons for our weekly programs. I also have worked for the Walt Disney Company, in the Magic Kingdom. While I was there, I was able to do American History trivia and tours for the Liberty Square area.

I pride myself on helping to create and improve a vast array of skills while providing the students with a strong foundation of what it takes to be life-long learners. I believe that students learn by example, and I show students how to proceed in the most difficult situations to become a contributing member of society. My strongest attribute is my ability to build rapport rapidly and continue to maintain a solid, positive connection throughout the relationship. My strong focus on student advocacy, academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, and social/emotional and career development will help to meet student’s preventative and proactive needs. I spent much of my time helping others to improve in many areas of life. I just graduated from graduate school to obtain a masters degree in counseling services. This has provided me with the certification required to work in a

Throughout my undergraduate time at Le Moyne College, I worked as both a tutor and substitute teacher. After graduation, I continued to work as a tutor and teacher while I pursued my Master's Degree. Once I finished graduate school I began teaching full time as a Special Education teacher. I have worked with students in all grades ranging from Kindergarten through grade 12. I have experience tutoring in all subject areas. I really enjoy working with students of all ages. One of my favorite parts about being a tutor is working with students in small group or 1:1 settings. I have a great deal of experience working with both students with disabilities and students without disabilities. I believe that each student is different and tutoring allows for the student to focus on the way that they learn best. Depending on the age of the student, I also believe that they can play a role in determ

My teaching style is a hands-on-approach. I don't want students to just learn and memorize history; but to enjoy it and see how it relates to their own lives. I use visual, verbal, and tactical aids with each of my lessons. I also strive to include everyone culturally and literally (i.e. if they have IEP's or literacy issues). I have had two practicum rotations thus far. My first rotation was at C. W. Baker High School, in Baldwinsville, NY. This was a 10th grade, level one Global Studies classroom. I assisted with group activites, and helping students connect the information they were currently learning to prior knowledge. My second rotation was at Grant Middle School, in Syracuse, NY. This is a 7th grade (begining US history) classroom. During this time I taught several lessons, created and administered a pre-test, as well as work one-one with several students that had IEP's and lower

I have had many years of educational instructing in a classroom environment with my previous employment positions. I have filled the role of new hire trainer, technical instructor, and professional development program design manager. In all of these roles I had the opportunity to teach / train on various levels in both a one-on-one setting as well as a group setting. I have a passion for teaching and love sharing my knowledge with others. Tutoring would allow me to take my training experience to the next level and would be another step forward towards my ultimate goal of teaching full-time. My teaching style is a combination of techniques I found successful during my educational studies. First, I believe the teacher has to be passionate and have a true love for what he or she is doing; this is passion, or lack thereof, is evident when interacting with a student. Second, patience is of up

I understand the importance of assessing each childs unique learning style. I love working with children, and I believe they learn best in an atmosphere condusive to learning. Each and every child has the capability of maximizing their learning ability. My belief is, children learn best with a constructive yet, non-judgemental approach to learning. Learning is not all "black and white", and sometimes requires educators to be creative with each learning experience. I look forward to making a difference in your childs academic success. During my academic career, I had the fortunate opportunity to complete internships in four elementary schools. I found the one on one time with the children to be the most effective, as well as the most rewarding. It was during this time that each childs unique learning style became apparent. Learning is extremely important in the early years of educati

As an elementary teacher, professional development facilitator, and county-level curriculum supervisor, I have spent 33 years providing effective instruction in all subject areas. My work with elementary students focused on providing quality instruction in reading and writing. As a supervisor of language arts, I was responsible for providing instruction to teachers enabling them to be effective instructors of reading, writing, and speaking. Also, I taught pre-service and graduate level teachers in mathematics curriculum/instruction. As a retired educator, I work with refugees so that they can perform well at the college level. My communication skills are strong and with my technological knowledge, I am able to provide focused instruction based on students' needs. Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps m

During my sophomore year as an undergraduate at the University of Florida, I spent my spare time tutoring/mentoring a third grade student at a local Gainesville elementary school. We spent ample time going over reading and math assignments. I also career mentored eighth grade students in the Richland County School District in Columbia, SC. I have learned strong writing and basic mathematical skills at my current position as a media planner. My teaching style is parallel to my learning style. I appreciate explanations that are thorough and tailored to my interests. I've learned that concepts and ideas are easier to understand if they refer back to something I can relate to. I aspire to become someone a child can look up to, as well as understand. I want them to be comfortable coming to me with any questions they may have.

As a recent honors graduate, I am very passionate about education. I have earned a bachelor of science degree, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of science as well as communication and writing. I currently work as a technical writer and thus, have a solid knowledge of the English language and proper grammatical skills. During the last 4 years I have tutored elementary and middle school students in English, reading, and sciences. I love working with children and believe that my enthusiasm for learning will help motivate them to further pursue their own studies. I am confident that I will help your child find academic success. As the oldest child, I have grown patient, understanding, and considerate. I believe that all children can learn and I look forward to working with yours. My teaching style is hands on and interactive, focusing primarily on positive reinforc

My teaching style will vary depending on the class as a whole or the type of student I am working with individually. In order to be an effective teacher I have seen that I need to be flexible with how I present material to a student. If a student is visual I am able to create diagrams and use props to show a concept rather than only speak the material. Some students need hands on and things like manipulatives in math help create a concrete way to remember a concept, and this is also something I do. In my mind success as a teacher is largely based on the success of the student and I am able to figure out what a specific child needs and adjust my teaching style to that student. In 2006 I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with concentrations in History and English. In 2008 I received my New York State Teaching Certificate. Starting at the end of 2008 I became a substitu

I am an experienced technical writer, having researched and written many legal and communication documents for licensing renewable energy projects. I have an excellent understanding of english, writing, research, and the components of a research paper. I have also done a lot of creative writing as a hobby. In addition to my writing skills, I was also an adult literacy tutor at The Learning Place for Adult Literacy in Syracuse. I also was a member of the Board of Directors for that organization. As the mother of five children, I have a strong level of empathy and understanding regarding the struggles that students face in school. Part of my task as a tutor is also to build confidence, communicate effectively, and develop a strong rapport with the student. My goal is to give them the knowledge, and enable them to believe in their abilities. Having been tutored in math as an adult, i

While studying at SUNY ESF I held a position as a teaching assistant for Western Civilization. This involved grading exams and papers, preparing and giving lectures, and holding office hours to assist students with any questions or concerns they may have had. I also spent time volunteering to teach and after school science club through ESF Outreach for elementary / middle school aged children. I feel as though every student will have their own niche. They will have a special subject that they enjoy the most and one that they despise. I think that figuring out how the child studies for the subject they enjoy will lead to an understanding of how to motivate that student to learn the subjects that are more difficult for them. Also, if the student's teacher stays positive and pushes him or her towards success by means of positive reinforcement they will succeed.
