My comments on tutoring Social Studies : Highly Qualified

My teaching style reflects the Kahn Academy in that I believe in small steps that are color coordinated to help the student with a visual learning ability found in ADHD and Autism Spectrum.

Over 8 years of passionate, creative teaching and tutoring!

I have always loved traveling, learning about different cultures, history, ideologies and of course food and have traveled to over 16 countries and lived in 5, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and most recently México, where my Spanish speaking and ESL teaching journey began. I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation. While living abroad, I experienced firsthand the struggles and daily frustrations of not being able to communicate my ideas, feelings or simply ask for directions or order from a menu at a restaurant. I ... read more

Tutor with 13 years experience

I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.

Make the infuriating accessible.

I've done some tutoring both officially and unofficially during the years, editing and proofreading friends' papers (for many of whom English was not a first language), as well as tutoring Russian. My educational experience, however, is vast. I completed the IB program in high school (with SL French, Math Studies and Biology and HL English, History and Psychology), majored in Psychology, History and Russian Studies at CU, and obtained a double Master's in Russian, Central and East European Studies at the University of Glasgow and European Studies at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. These degrees emphasized Political Science, History and Sociology. I've studied French, Russian, Polish and German.
I try to bring information, facts and ideas into a unified whole, so that rather than being a matter of simple memorization, subjects can be internalized, understood and learne ... read more

I am a fun, enthusiastic, caring, supportive, yet, particular teacher. My students learn whether they want to or not... I include a lot of games and activities which are fun for everyone, including myself! I have to have fun, because if I'm not, I know my students aren't having any fun. I care very much for people, therefore, wanting what is best for my students and for them to see the importance of learning another language. I share a lot of my own personal experience, sparking interest in the students and creating a connection with them!
I have been teaching Spanish for 5 years and taught ESL for two years when I lived in Spain. I went to Spain to improve my Spanish and I recommend my students to study abroad! It is the best way to learn/practice the language as well as really get to know the culture. Right now, I am tutoring - working for myself and/or companies. Spani ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a graduate of both the University of Colorado and Adams State College. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Education as well as a Initial Teacher's license. I have experience as a volunteer tutor in social studies and math, a paid tutor in reading, a student teacher, and as a substitute for the last year and a half. I also have experience as a mentor to young people through the YMCA.
My teaching style revolves around the specific learning needs of students because each person not only learns differently but has specific strengths and weakness. As teachers it is our job to meet the needs of all learners. I do not believe in presently material in one way, or one way all the time.

By training and trade, I'm a professional counselor. I've worked in school, mental health, and private settings as both an academic advisor and as an individual, group, and family therapist. At the college level, I've taught student success, time management, test-taking, goal-setting, communications, psychology, and business courses. I have also taught group social skills and motivation workshops at the elementary and high school levels. I'd be happy to tutor students of any age in English, writing, grammar and composition, public-speaking, history, or social sciences. And I'm more than willing to act as a learning coach, tailoring "lessons" or academic exercises to your student's needs.
My teaching/coaching style is structured, organized, yet relaxed. I believe it's important to get to know the individual and his/her learning style before creating a personalized educatio ... read more

In my past I have taught many years as a tennis instructor and ski instructor. I also taught at a Federal correctional Institution in Englewood, Colorado in their Education Department in 1990 and 1991. i tutored inmates for their 8th grade equivalency as well as several others through their GED's. In 2002 through 2004 I also was the training officer for Star West Aviation. My teaching style was, and always has been to use humor and patience to bring my students along and to achieve where they had failed in the past. I found, especially in the prison system, that people achieve best when you make the work interesting and also within the student's ability. No one wants to feel stupid and there is always a tremendous joy in even grown adults when they "get it."
In 1975 I had been teaching tennis for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department for a year and elected to a ... read more

I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Special Education position. I took the job and went to Regis University while I was working with 7th and 8th grade students. I worked at this position for three years, the year I graduated 2007 the school was faced with downsizing and I was let go. I worked the following year with 7th and 8th grade students in a different school district. I continue to move forward with learning and teaching.
I enjoy teaching and learning from students. I feel everyone has something to share and assist with understanding different beliefs, cultures and ideas. I strive to teach to all modali ... read more

My general teaching and learning philosophy is that every child has the potential for greatness, but that proper guidance and experiences are needed to reach full potential. Children are not just empty vessels waiting to be filled, but bring unique dimensions and experiences into any educational setting, which affect individual desire and motivation to learn and participate. The varied backgrounds of all children must be addressed and included in the curriculum to maximize each child’s learning potential and scholastic enjoyment. Even the youngest of children is constantly creating, adapting to, and analyzing his/her reality through active learning; thus any educational program should follow in this way. Educational programs should explore basic skills for successful daily living and future scholastic/life success, but should also allow for child interests to mold lessons and act ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I consider myself a very creative teacher.I like to use techniques such as Total Physical Response(TPR), when teaching a second language. I have mastered two second languages myself,and raised two bi literate children successfully.I believe everyone can learn, and I need to find the student's learning style and work from there. I love working with children and see their growth and fun when they can succeed. Reading and Bilingual Education are two of my passions in life, and the kind or work that I enjoy doing the most.

Teaching comes naturally to me and I have the patience, dedication, warmth and concern that this profession requires. When a student recognizes that you sincerely care about their progress, they are more apt to apply themselves and feel confident in their ability to achieve. I believe in encouraging critical thinking skills, learning by doing, and learning through discovery. Education should be approached with a balance of seriousness and fun!
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Public Health Nutrition, which required me to take many science classes, including anatomy/physiology and chemistry. I have had a career as an ESL teacher overseas and in the U.S. For the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as college students and other adults in classroom and tutorial settings. My classes have included reading, writing, grammar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored for one year at Garden City Community College in College Algebra, English, and History. I attended 15 hours of tutor training. I also have worked with children who have severe emotional disturbance in learning social and cognitive skills, as well as improving their self-confidence levels.
My teaching style is to listen to what the person needs help with, and then to ask them what they already know about the subject. Next, I will show him or her to solve the problem, then ask him or her to try it himself or herself. If he or she has any questions, I will answer them. However, I think that it is best for the person to learn how to solve the problems with assistance from myself, but not to do all the work myself. Ultimately, I want the person to rely on his or her own knowledge in order to become more independent; I am only there to encourage and make any needed correctio ... read more

A recent graduate of Brown University, I am well accustomed to pursuing education excellence. In my time at Brown, I earned a 3.96 overall GPA and a 4.0 GPA in my area of study. My diverse coursework allowed me to learn material in many subject areas, as well as develop strong study and organizational skills, time management ability, and exceptional work ethic. My researching skills were employed on a daily basis in my studies, as well as my ability to capture those facts in concise and comprehensive writing. In high school, I tutored student at an hourly rate and in college volunteered to tutor inner-city children. Further, I spent countless hours over the past 8 years with fellow student, tutoring them and aiding in their academic success.
My philosophy of tutoring is rather simple - every individual has unique needs that should be met by a tutor in the most patient, sensitive, ... read more

I practice a collaborative style, one where I team with the student to achieve one or more goals. I push the student to seek the answers, helping them find the resources that are most useful. I enjoy all age levels, but trend toward middle, upper, and college levels.
I have been helping students for several years, primarily in the areas of math, accounting and other business topics. I also have experience with helping people use their computers more effectively, especially with regard to Microsoft products.
