My comments on tutoring Political Science : My college minor was International Affairs. I also interned at the U.S. Congress, both House and Senate, as a college student. My tutoring experience includes AP U.S. Government, but I can also easily assist with AP Comparative Government. I spent three summers teaching international politics to gifted middle school students for Johns Hopkins.

Students being tutored one-on-one deserve lessons customized to their learning style. My sessions often incorporate some writing and topic discussion along with activities tailored to the student's interests, skill development needs and preferences.
This is my fourth year tutoring middle and high school students in History and Government. I also have professional classroom teaching experience and volunteer elementary school teaching experience. My students, primarily Global History, World History and European History students, have raised their class grades, passed the Regents exam by many points and earned high scores on the AP. I specialize in both content acquisition and essay writing skills. Some students have worked with me for half a year or more, others for a month or two before cumulative exams.

Teaching and School Counseling Services In One Place!

My style of education is to teach by modeling. Students need to see things in a step-by-step format with instructions, followed by an immediate example. I also provide sample argumentative essays for students who learn by seeing a complete model. My counseling style is to work with students, first by building a rapport and then using that as the foundation to get a feel for their college/career interests. I then look at their grades to help them build a custom transitional plan into early adulthood.
I have been a teacher for the last fifteen years. I teach social studies, but my specialization is teaching argumentative (college level) writing.I have done plenty of SAT prep and tutoring for students at the high school and college level. I am also a school counselor and can offer a vast array of services including FASFA, Naviance/Common Application and college/career counseling.

I'm a very bright high school senior with a rigorous AP schedule at New Britain High. I don't have any tutoring experience but I've worked for two years at a christian summer camp, so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I've always had a talent for explaining material and making it fun, and I'm interested of pursuing a career in post secondary education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in encouraging all individuals to read, write and learn in a positive way that best fits his or her specific learning needs. The best teacher helps guide a student through the process hands-on and finds the way to make it clear to that person on their level through gentle discovery and practice.

I believe that all students learn in their own way and that a teacher must get to know his or her students in order to evaluate their strengths and specific needs. It is important to give students guidance, but also to teach them to work independently to boost their self-confidence. I constantly seek feedback from my students and their parents to find the best way to help them succeed.
As a graduate of Yale University, I recognize the value of education for the generation of young people who will soon run our country. For the past year, I have tutored students in a wide variety of subject areas: English, History, Geometry, Biology, Spanish, French, and SAT prep. I work well one-on-one with students of all ages and ability levels.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of an intense Honors Program with proficiency in multiple subjects, I have lent a helping hand towards other students as well as those who are younger than myself. From high school on, I served my community as a mentor, and tutor available during my senior year as a PAL (Peer Academic Leader). During college I accumulated many volunteer hours in elementary classrooms and from 2005-2009 worked annually as a summer camp counselor for the City of Milford. Additionally, on top of graduating at the top of my program, I worked at various restaurants full time in college, and worked abroad for five weeks.
The most important characteristic in helping a child learn is to not only demonstrate a profound knowledge of material, but channel one's charisma into helping motivate the learner. Making it interesting, teaching in several different planes, and understanding ... read more

I have taught Social Studies, Language Arts at the middle school level. I taught studies strategies for studying, note taking, and writing. Our curriculum called for writing across all subjects. My studies came to me with a wide range of skill level, so that differention was part of my planning on a daily basis. My teaching style was provide students with challenges so they could experience success, no matter their ability.
My teaching style is to focus on the individual learning style of the student. I believe in Howard Gardners multiple intelligence theory and to that degree, I reach students through whichever modality they possess.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working as a Special Education Teaching Assistant for the past 5 years. A good portion of my job is working one on one with children outside of the classroom. I have experience in a variety of subjects from the elementary level up to the high school grades. Prior to this I tutored Yale foreign graduate students in English and helped them edit their papers for class. In January, I started tutoring Saturday school students in Math, Writing and Reading at Amistad Academy in order to better prepare them for the Connecticut Mastery Tests.
I came into education as a career later in life. I have never experienced such a rewarding career. Due to my love for this profession and working with children I have recently starting pursuing my teaching certification. I believe that every child should have the opportunity in school to meet their potential and achieve academic success in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.
I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum.

My areas of expertise include English, Writing, Literature and Standardized Test Preparation. As a gifted actor and writer,I bring creativity and a theatrical flair to all of my engagements. I have a genuine love of language and learning. I am highly skilled in employing this sensibility toward engaging a broad range of students including those who are motivationally challenged and/or learning disabled. I specialize in bonding with those in my charge as individuals. This goes beyond looking at academic disciplines and test-taking strategies. Everyone has their own set of skills, instincts, and personal qualities that can facilitate or inhibit their growth. My greatest strength lies in my ability to diagnose my students’ strengths and weaknesses as I assist them in charting their most efficient paths to success.

More About This Tutor...

As a hardworking individual with excellent communication skills, I would like to explore the possibility of putting my talents and experience to help children. Currently I have a successful and satisfying career with Artwell Gallery, a nonprofit community based art gallery. However I am looking forward to embarking on a new career. I hold a BA in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University. For three years I worked in a pre-school teaching Art to students aged three to five.
I had once been told by a very seasoned teacher that "If you can not go through the front door find an open window." She opened my eyes to creative, and interesting ways to stimulate young minds. I love helping children learn, and finding their open window. A great teacher can incorporate different styles of teaching to adapt to a child's learning ability.
