Certified in Secondary Social Studies Education (7-12)

I have taught history/social studies in Somers, Connecticut for the past eight years. Additionally, I have an extensive background in writing. I have taught students from a variety of backgrounds. My first three years of teaching were at the middle school level, teaching courses in Ancient and World History. Currently I teach at the high school level. I have taught courses in U.S History (early and late), World History, Civics/Government, Current Affairs, and Psychology. However, I am not just a teacher of content, but also writing. My school district continues to place a tremendous amount of emphasis on reading and writing skills. All of my courses emphasize research techniques, essay writing and primary source analysis. Due to my experiences and efforts of motivating, challenging, and encouraging my students, I feel that I could and would be a very helpful, memorable, and eff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and how to teach it to meet a student's specific needs and learning style.
In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor. Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three ye ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have degrees that require me to do a lot of reading and writing. My career has been composed of teaching, reading and writing, as well as literature, at the Universities of Vermont and Connecticut. The teaching included freshman through graduate students - all levels of writing, in short. Much of it took place during individual conferences.
So my teaching styles are varried. As a tutor, one on one, we would be engaged in a conversation. My part would be to discuss the sublect of concern to the student. The student would ask questions, and we would end the session with a forcast of the next.

My teaching style varies depending on the need(s) of the student(s). I understand that some youth are visual learners, some learn by hearing and some learn by doing. I also understand that many youth learn through a combination of learning styles. I will work with your child to find the best learning style for him or her. As a current substitute teacher and private child-care provider, I have the patience and desire to help your child succeed.
As a young professional dedicated to the education and well-being of youth, I am motivated to help them achieve their educational goals. As a trained journalist, I have a firm understanding of subjects like English, Reading and Composition. I have experience helping elementary, high-school and college students.

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

I am a professional writer with 25 year experience in the field and I am also a seasoned tutor. I have been tutoring students in writing papers and preparing for written tests in many subjects — including English, history, social studies, government, psychology, and sociology — since I graduated from Clark University with Honors in English in 1985 and have continued working with middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate level students since that time. I also have worked with students on SAT, SSAT and TOEFL test preparation in the areas of reading comprehension, writing and speaking (TOEFL).
I love working with middle school children and young adults. I have worked successfully with students from under-served populations as well as international students. One example is my work with an internationally born undergraduate student who I tutored in English literature and wr ... read more

I am a Massachusetts certified teacher of mathematics for grades 5-12, and have four years combined experience as a teacher and tutor of mathematics and language arts. My experience includes training at the Huntington learning center of Acton Massachusetts, where I became well versed in strategies for improving performance on standardised tests, especially the SAT. I have also taught for two years at Marlborough High School, where I worked in classrooms with students who had various learning disabilities, from ADD to autism.
My teaching style is based first and foremost upon engagement. I feel that it is absolutely critical for the successful instructor of any subject to have a passion for that subject that is evident in the way he or she interacts with students. For myself, there is no higher calling than education- and the benefits that can be reaped through effective mathematic ... read more

As a first year teacher, I am using my creative impulse to establish a relationship with my students. I am fostering a love of learning in my classrooms, as well as a desire to learn more about the world. I am someone who looks at the glass as half full; there is never a problem that cannot be fixed or a creative solution to be discovered. Although I am firm when it comes to my policies in the classroom, I also see myself as a confidant for some students who might not have anyone else in their lives.
During my four years at Roger Williams University, I was involved with a number of activities that helped me in my desire to become an English teacher. Volunteering with the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island as a leader, editing my college newspaper and sitting on a number of committees are just a few of the opportunities I had at my college. Now, as a first year teacher, I am using my ... read more

One constant holds between the middle-schoolers and Ivy League engineering students that I have tutored: simplicity works. My style is to eliminate any strange concepts or terminology and instead focus in on the basic principles underlying an idea. After the student understands the basic principle, he or she begins to apply it through examples, problem sets, or writing. As students become more confident, they will begin to understand the nuances of whatever it is they seek to learn. With a basic theoretical knowledge re-enforced by practice, students will be able to apply their new skills long after their tests and quizzes are done with.
As an Ivy League Physics-turned-Social Sciences major, I have mastered two distinct skill-sets: one mathematical and one analytical. My mathematical background includes single and multivariable calculus as well as differential equations. I have tut ... read more
