Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Lima, NY

Socratic, and lecture. It really depends on subjects. For example, case analysis in a political science or philosophy course can be more constructively learned through the Socratic method - that is, an open and inclusive discussion in the form of question and answer. Other subjects, such as psychology or geology may be best taught in the form of direct lectures with the opportunity to ask questions. I have years of excellent experience with analyzing, writing, and assisting others in academic as well as professional settings. I have done extensive research on various topics in Political Science and my experiences have taught time that there is never an end to learning, and there is no one single perfect answer to questions about natural or man-made phenomena.

The most important thing when working one-on-one with a student is to find out the best ways that student learns. Patience is important, as is humor. In 20 years of teaching experience I have tutored students of all ages, different socio-economic backgrounds and intellectual abilities, as well as in a wide variety of subjects. I have tutored in four public school systems, in private practice with with adults who needed help to prepare for tests and for adults who either wanted to study for their own enrichment or to advance in the corporate world.

I hold a bachelor's degree in international studies which required me to take numerous courses in the political science department. I am very experienced in teaching small groups of college level students. During my senior year of college I was selected to be a Russian apprentice teacher through Kenyon College's Intensive Language Program. I taught students three times per week for approximately an hour each session. I had to go through training for this position, which taught me how to design lessons and utilize teaching tools to help students understand the material. As I am a recent graduate myself, I understand the needs of most students and what it takes to keep them engaged in learning. For example, I frequently used games as memorization tools for students that focused on repetition as a learning aid. In September, I am leaving to take part in the Peace Corps as a teacher of Engl

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject. As a private school and state school graduate,I recieved a broad and varied background in higher education.I taught at two Catholic Schools. I have performed also as a substitute teacher with the experience of teaching at most grade levels and subjects. I have also performed Homebound Teaching f

As a master's level graduate in Criminal Justice, I have a varied and extensive background in many subject areas. At the undergraduate level, I have a minor in Forensic Science which required me to take many science courses, including Chemistry and the like. I have taken both undergraduate and graduate level Statistics courses and excelled at both. My current position as an Analyst for a legal publishing company also gives the skills necessary to teach proper grammar and writing skills. Through this varied educational and work experience, I would be an asset in tutoring many different subject areas. I love teaching and helping children and young adults grow educationally. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn, but it is through varied methods that make all the difference. I am very patient and help the child understand the material from a real-life perspective. Concepts/

Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese. I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true)

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success.

I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I have a passion to help students to achieve academic success.

I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students. Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack.

I am used to working in a learning environment that stresses academic rigor alongside development of the whole person. I was coordinator of the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) at Casablanca American School, in Morocco, for six years. The International Baccalaureate Organization’s systematic focus upon holistic education, academic rigor, community and service, understanding and respecting differences between people, and awareness of health and environmental issues closely parallel values endorsed by the best U.S. public schools. I earned my master’s degree through the Philosophy and Social Sciences Department of Teachers College, Columbia University. The focus of my degree was Anthropology and Education, reflecting a life-long interest that has taken me to international schools in various parts of Africa and SW Asia.

I have taught students in grades 1--5 as a substitute teacher in the Rochester, NY public school system and full time as a teacher of 9th and 10th grade English (one semester) and 7th grade Science (one semester) in a private school. In addition, I have developed curriculum and instructed groups of adult learners in the areas of grant-writing, customer service, software use, and business communications. Since 1996, as a freelance writer and editor, I have worked for a national law firm, graduate students preparing their doctoral dissertations, and non-fiction writers of articles and book length material. As all of us are unique human beings, we have unique learning styles and learn best when we are using these styles to acquire and use information. I am continually amazed at the progress each student can make when encouraged to use the skills he possesses. As a teacher, I try to illustra

I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greater reward than unlocking each individual's potential for academic interest and success. Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I ha

I believe strongly that any student can be inspired to embrace learning. I have found that meeting students where they are at (academic level) is most crucial to inspiring learning. In additional, centering teaching around specific student needs is equally important. This is a challenge when students feel pressured to pass tests, but it can be done! I embrace an inquiry-based model of teaching/learning. I have 23 years as a public school teacher in Rochester, NY. I hold a MS in Education in Secondary Social Studies, and a BA in Communications/Journalism. I am very familiar with the New York State Education Department's requirements in the areas of Social Studies and English Language Arts. My grammar and organizational skills are very strong, and I am an excellent writer and editor. The majority of my teaching has been in the area of Secondary Social Studies.

My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit better" than they think they can at that moment. At the end of the day, a lot of "just a bit better"'s add up to a whole lot! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a potential that is limited only to their current experience--giving them new opportunities and showing them not only what they can do but what the world has to offer them... this can change a kid's life! I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy tutorin
