Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in North Bergen, NJ

I prefer to teach no more than two children at the same time. Focusing on the child's academic needs and flaws and an important keys to correcting them and creating a more successful learning environment. When I first meet a child I like to first assess their knowledge and understand their particular way of learning. Then, I proceed to teach and reinforce what they need to know in a certain subject. I have been tutoring children ages 5- 10 for 4 years. I mostly tutor children that need to improve their academic performance in the areas of English and Math. With all my utmost satisfaction, I can say that all of the amazing children I have tutored greatly improved their knowledge and confidence. English and Math are my passions and I have a natural disposition when teaching them. The people who have hired me have always been content and satisfied with my amiability and patience when dealin

Ahoy! My name is Julia, and I am a Junior at Yale. I grew up in NYC, prancing around in coffee shops, studying with my friends at 6am the day of a big test. Many students, myself included, learn best when they wade through complexity with other people. I am here to help! I (not so fondly) remember hours of SAT, SAT2, ACT, and AP practice, and am very familiar with the format of standardized tests. I specialize in test prep, as well as Literature/Language, Social Studies/History, and Math (through pre-calculus). As a Humanities major, reading and writing is my food and water! I would be happy to help proofread your papers, brainstorm ideas, or work on structuring effective college essays. I have taught in many different settings - public schools, 3rd grade LD classrooms, journalism workshops for high schoolers, after-school tutoring for middle schoolers, to name a few! I have also

As Academic Advisor at Hunter College, I provided one-on-one tutoring focused on thesis development, essay writing, and critical reading. I am attuned to the craft of writing, particularly helping writers distill ideas and compose how those ideas can best be expressed. Subject-wise, I have received degrees studying history and international relations from elite liberal arts schools. I have also worked as a radio and print journalist. In short, I am well versed in reading comprehension, formal analysis, research, and writing - most strongly in the field of social sciences and humanities. I prefer one-on-one sessions so I can be attentive to particular needs of the student, especially when it comes to reading and writing. I work collaboratively in the sense that I like to observe how a student best engages with the material and encourage that method for best results. I am both process- and

Please look at what I have said about my work in history, both US and World... Social studies, when done well, involve those two. My experiences are perhaps too wide for this enclosure. I have 5 degrees, in American history and world history and French and Spanish, plus experience in writing and publishing. But my best experience involves my being able to take an overworked, frazzled student under deadline and teaching him or her how to pause, focus, and then get caught up and then get ahead. As Ben Franklin would say, we have to learn how to "make haste slowly." I teach a student to be calm, take a breath, and then go forward on his requirements -- in exactly the order that the situation requires. I hate to see students stuffed with words and ideas, as if they were thanksgiving turkeys. I love to help a student understand that much of the truth is inside his own mind. We must tea

When helping a child, I show interest in the child and the child's immediate situation. I express warmth, responsiveness and appreciation. I nicely encourage a child for a given activity or one that I create. I am always upbeat, positive, and enthusiastic In the educational process, I form an idea of what the student is ready to learn, and form an idea of a learning task (discussion or practice) and of how I might introduce it. I am open to suggestions from the learner for this (or at any moment). Learning should be enjoyable.If a task proves not to be intrinsically stimulating, I present accomplishing it as a challenge. I praise efforts and seek to minimize frustration--I have a technique for this, to be used when necessary. Finally, the majority of time during any session is time during which the student is learning, with a minimum of my instructing. John Andrew Sonneborn, D.Min. (21

I have excelled in Social Studies since I was in elementary school. This is because I have always found the social sciences/studies to be ever relevant within our lives and worth learning. I hold a BA in Economics and a BS in Architecture from The University of Texas at Austin, and I have a deeply rooted passion for tutoring and teaching! I have worked in a multitude of environments and titles, including, but not limited to: a tennis teaching pro; financial consultant and paralegal; hedge fund financial marketing analyst; and now a CEO of my own fitness tracking startup. I have a wide range of skill sets in data analytics, which include statistics, marketing, and (my personal favourite) econometrics. I also hold an International Baccalaureate Diploma from my high school back in Plano, TX. I have been a teaching assistant and supplemental instructor for a range of courses as well: the
