Sociology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Searchlight, NV

I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school. I facilitate day treatment groups teaching severely emotionally disturbed children social skills, behavior management, and life skills. These children also have a range of diagnoses such as autism or ADHD. I helped provide group and individual reading instruction for adults with developmental disabilities for a year. During this time I also supervised clients and helped teach arts, theater, and dance classes for adults with developmental disabilities. I used to be a church nursery teacher where I taught basic gospel principles to children 18 months through three years old. I

Although I only took two semesters of Sociology in college, they were taught by a very intense and demanding professor who assigned a lot of work and books to read, and formulated incredibly difficult exams, I aced both classes, and tutored Sociology for over 10 years. So basically, I believe I a more than qualified to teach the subject more than competently. Extremely Interactive and Student-Specific Methods Tailored to each Student's Needs & Goals I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT,

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this setting has allowed me to become patient, tolerant, understanding, and loving. I believe that each child is different and capable of great things if acknowledged in an enthusiastic and attentive manner. I believe in asking children guiding questions to lead them through difficult material without directly presenting an answer or lecturing. I believe in using my own creativity to come up with new methods of learning so that children respond to subjects they may not otherwise enjoy. I plan on making a career out of teaching as it is my passion and I yearn to make a difference in the learning experiences of young children. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understa

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007. I have been involved with senior theater programs, and I am currently mentoring for a non-profit organization. The program is for senior men who are 55 years of ag

As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. Both bachelor degrees that I have earned have done just that. My BA in Journalism and Media Studies has enhanced my writing and grammatical skills, while my BA in Political Science has deepened my analytical and logic skills. I have put these abilities into practice while tutoring for the last two years in English, reading comprehension, and social studies classes. My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does no

While doing my Bachelor's in Economics I was tutoring at a nearby college. My subjects were English, Social studies, Biology and Chemistry. My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects. I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge.

I am a patient person and I feel that is very important in any learning environment. I believe in empowering all students to strive for their best potential, I feel there is no such thing as "failure" but there is a thing called "feedback". I have a lot of empathy for children. In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces. I have been a substitute teacher for the school district for 4years now. I have taught in a variety of settings including, but not limited to severe special ed, autism, ADHD, K-6 grades in diversifed settings.

My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method isn't working, we will try it my way. In addition to teaching them the material, I try to pass off good studying habits as well. For example, rather than help a student write a paper by simply editing their paper, I try to show the student how helpful brainstorming is, and/or how to create an efficient, simple outline. I also try to find at least one thing a student is good at and encourage him in that area. Once a student realizes he is good at something, he feels more confident in other areas as well. I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homewo

I discovered my passion for instructing, tutoring, and working with youth during my experience as a substitute teacher. I understand that every student has their own unique way of learning, and I believe in a patient approach that will help a student build confidence in the subject matter, and develop good study habits. I think the greatest legacy a person can leave in life is a good impression on younger generations, and therefore I take each teaching opportunity seriously. I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in May of 2009 with a Bachelor's of Science in Geography, an interdisciplinary field which enabled me to cover a broad area of subject matter throughout my studies. From studying abroad in Italy, and working abroad in Ecuador, I have a knowledge of Spanish and Italian.

My teaching style can best be described as one that entails a variety of teaching modalities. By enthusiastically engaging my students in interesting lessons and using strategies that can address each child’s learning style, I believe this will ensure academic success. My goal as a teacher is to instill a passion for learning, while providing them with an educational foundation that is motivating and positive. Students can look back on their experience, with me as their teacher, who genuinely cared about their future and well-being. I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and a NV Teaching License ( K-8 ). I have been in the education field for over ten years and have been teaching Kindergarten for over three years in the private sector. I have become skillful at designing creative and invigorating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on app

I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient and kind but believe that your child can be challenged to succeed. I also believe that it is important for student and teacher to trust and respect each other. Parents, teachers, tutors, and student are all key to the success of your child! As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substit
