I practiced the principles of political science when I was elected as a magisterial district judge having organized and conducted my political campaign. My political experience and service as a public official enable me help students understand the importance of the political process in the United States. I conduct a needs assessment for each of my students; and tailor my tutoring program accordingly. I establish an agenda, and provide the necessary instruction. My sessions are interactive so students are expected to participate in the session in order to reinforce subject concepts. Homework consists of readings, completion of subject-matter exercises, and oral presentations to establish confidence in public speaking. Substitute Teacher.

Robert M. - Philadelphia, PA 19144 (40.6 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I minored in political science as an undergraduate. In working in the liberal arts fields, I try to link up the student's interests with the subject matter, looking for an approach that will link the content of the field to things that they care about.
In the graphic arts, I favor a mastery learning approach that builds on foundational concepts and emphasizes both the learning of specific techniques and a problem-solving approach that makes someone more than just a button pusher. BA-History Wichita State University, specializing in United States History, with extensive work on the labor and civil rights movements. I also minored

Erin D - Allentown, PA 18102 (3.9 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I strongly believe that all children can learn and have the potential to become active members in society.

I am also a part time online teacher for k12. I have been working as a part time social studies instructor for the Keystone School since September 2007.

Nicole D - Allentown, PA 18109 (4 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve. Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Science, a

Rene M - Bethlehem, PA 18018 (5.8 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.50/hr.
Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs. I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

Carol B - Bethlehem, PA 18018 (6.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!) I have a collection of toys and noisemakers that I use in the classroom. My classroom is visually dynamic and inviting. My goal is for my students to enter to learn with smiles on their faces, and anticipation for learning something fascinating. I love to lead them to daily "Aha" moments of discovery. My sense of humor and use of cartoons maintains an involvement high. I strategize with my kids to examine the many different ways to learn, in appreciation of their various learning styles. My students are empowered to question and learn more than required. By building their trust in me, and knowing that I sincerely love being with them, true learning hap

Lance S - Nazareth, PA 18064 (10.5 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual-major in English Writing and History. These two branches of academia shaped and built my ability to write concise, intellectual, pieces of work. I possess an excellent vocabulary and grammatical skill set, allowing me to properly instruct any individual in writing technical papers, academic papers, poetry, or prose. While I attended Pittsburgh I began to proofread and edit papers for my friends and classmates. My peers felt I was talented enough to begin selling my services, and to this day I instruct others in how to properly write persuasive essays, resumes, cover letters, and the like. I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who have

Lisa S - Lehighton, PA 18235 (14.7 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I love teaching and working with children. I love the joy that children get on their faces when they finally understand the concepts that they are trying to learn. I try to make learning fun by incorporating games into the educational process. The children have a better time focusing when learning is enjoyable. I have a BA in Political Science with a concentration in American Government and minor in Philosophy from The Catholic University of America. During college, I worked at the Carbon County Courthouse in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania in Court Administration. I also worked as a Government Affairs Intern for the National Hydropower Association, a Congressional Intern for Representative Paul E.

Dewayne B - Sanatoga, PA 19464 (24.7 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not become overwhelming. Since the beginning of the era in which the special education population has began being mainstreamed into regular education classrooms in most schools, I have developed a great practice of differentiated instruction. I also am aware that there are people who are a specific learning style as well as the people that are a combination of any two or three learning styles. That's who I teach for. I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically w

I began my college career at Columbia University, N.Y. where I matriculated in the top 5% of entrants. I moved to Africa where I lived and returned 10 years later. I joined the United Nations where I worked at headquarters New York and later as a field officer in the Middle East and South Africa. Part of my assignment during my stay in the Middle East was to teach the local staff English.

I was trained academically at PAFA to draw and paint still life, landscape, the human figure but as a child, my Mother introduced me to painting in the tub with newsprint taped to walls, with tempra paint in baby food jars to express myself. I love teaching young children but have worked with all ages, from tots to elders. I believe in teaching the process so that it is an experience of discovery and I provide a constructivist approach to learning, providing building blocks of information in lessons that provide tools for a strong foundation. I believe in teaching people how to learn and how to think. As a Graduate of The University of Pennsylvania,I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education.

John C - High Bridge, NJ 08829 (28.9 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I believe that a teacher's role in the classroom (among other strategies) is to cultivate independent thinking through dialogue. Although learning information is important to knowledge acquisition, encouraging students to interpret facts through their own thinking can cultivate a classroom climate that fosters open inquiry and freedom of expression. Furthermore, in addition to helping students express themselves in writing with clarity and poise, a caring and nurturing teacher should act as co-inquirer and deep listener. I have taught English, Philosophy, Speech, Drama and Expository writing in a New Jersey public high school for 16 years. Here I gained experience working with students preparing their college essays and various other writing projects and assignments. I have also directed plays and musicals and have worked as a camp counselor for a fine arts camp. Currently I am a doctora
