Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Whitewater, WI

I have a wide variety of educational experience and have recently crossed over into the realm of education as a Special Education/At-Risk teacher with the Edgerton School District. My current position has me utilizing differentiated instruction and modification techniques with nearly 50 students throughout the day which will enhance my ability to tutor others who need help. My particular areas of expertise are Social Studies, Spanish, English and ASVAB/GED test prep. I am weaker in Math and Science. I prefer to have materials prepared prior to any tutoring session so communication ahead of time will be essential. If I have an idea of what is expected of me then I am able to help modify the session to fit the learner. I like to use both direct teach as well as discussion to help guide the tutoring session.

Passionate, interactive, and Efficient. My philosophy for teaching is simple. There are two kinds of students: Those who are willing to word hard and make sacrafices to be an excellent student and those who simply won't be good students. I offer no shortcuts or cheat sheets. Dedication is paramount to not only academic success, but personal success as well. I accept any and all challenges. Benjamin J.

I hold a bachelors degree in economics from Purdue University. While in school I tutored at the elementary, intermediate, secondary, and university level. I have tutored in a broad range of subjects from elementary phonics to college prep exams such as the ACT and SAT. I guarantee success and/or improvement or your money back. A pre-tutor analysis will be conducted to determine the skill level. Each session will be tailored to fit the student. No two people learn the same, and I understand that.

Fun. We'll talk about things in a way you understand, pursue strategies that are both silly and make sense, and use metaphors that are so ridiculous that you'll never forget them. I get very excited about things. It's very exciting. We'll have fun. Tutored my way through high school, college, and have spent the years after graduation part-time tutoring high school students to get into whichever schools they set their sights on. My biggest pet peeve was boring classes with strategies that didn't make sense to me, and I'm here to fix that by offering a personalized style with in-depth analysis of your strengths, areas for improvement, and desired learning styles!

I was an in-school suspension teacher for two years at Durand High and Middle School, helping students get caught up on their pre-algebra, social studies, science, English and Spanish homework. Previously to becoming a teacher I worked in industry as a project manager or assistant for different companies, using Spanish occasionally. I student taught in 2004 at Hononegah HS, one semester at Auburn High School before being hired at Durand High School. I taught there for four years and took a job in 2008 at Christian Life High School where I am currently employed during the school year. I prefer to see what the learning style of the student is and then adapt my teaching style to the student.

Specializing in discovering how student best learns. Open Ended Questions, Focus on Strength while pinpointing areas of weakness to correct and strengthen areas of concern. Teach child as a whole person understanding we need trust and confidence to truly reach our potential. STUDENTS HAVE TROUBLE LEARNING WHEN TRUST BREAKS DOWN AND THEY ARE AFRAID TO EXPOSE WEAKNESSES OR ASK QUESTIONS. To me, this is the key to success--trust in a safe and challenging and FUN learning environment wheee mistakes are treated as paramount to learning, not as hindrances.

My teaching style spans two decades, and many hundreds of students. In that time, I have learned that individual students have individual learning styles. Therefore, my teaching style would be dependent upon the student and his or her needs and current state of mind. When possible, I favor a mastery method of teaching, attempting to focus on the essential elements of learning, and then building knowledge. Other situations may require a different approach. But regardless of the approach, the tutoring will be a success only through scheduled and careful collaboration with the student and parent, and I will work to build and maintain that communication. I have taught and served as a principal at parochial schools for 15 years, teaching every subject in every level in grades 4-8, and English in grades 9-12. In addition, I have served as an adult educator for 6 years. My particular areas of i

I truly enjoy teaching students and spending the necessary time in order for an individual to fully encompass a concept. I consider myself a problem solver and I feel as though I possess an innate ability to quickly diagnose an individual's learning disabilities or weaknesses and therefore transform my teaching style to match the person's specific needs. My personality is laid back yet passionate for the subject material in which I teach. During the last 2 years of my undergraduate career at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I spent time leading moderate sized tutoring sessions. My scientific research experience is extensive as I have conducted 2 years of research in the field of neuroendocrinology. I received the James D. Anthony Award at the conclusion of my senior year for "outstanding undergraduate researcher." Two weeks after graduation, I became employed by the Medical College

As an instructor, I believe it is my responsibility to help students develop as complete, well-rounded persons. This means insuring not only that the students learn the knowledge contained in the course syllabus, but also how to think critically, to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, to make thoughtful and ethical life choices and to be a responsible citizen. My method of reaching these goals is student-centered with interactive instruction and supported with the appropriate use of technology. I taught Constitutional Law and American Politics at Marquette University, and tax law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I have also taught at IRS and KPMG programs, as well as at numerous seminars for state and local bar associations, voluntary legal associations, and the UW-Extension. I have taken courses on elementary

I have a number of useful skills and abilities that I bring to a classroom. I have a very broad set of educational areas in which I am comfortable. I have a B.S. in Biology, a B.A. in History, and a minor in Political Science, as well as a Masters in teaching. I possess significant teaching experience, having taught American History, Earth Science, and General Science at the secondary level. Additionally, I have substituted in every grade from fifth through twelfth and in classes from art to P.E. math to music. Students must be challenged, not coddled. Students at all levels need to be pushed to find their limits and then move beyond them. Only then can they achieve real growth. We must use education as a tool to educate the next generation not only for employment but also for citizenship. In so doing, we need to take into account historical precedents and objective reality.

I believe the most important key to teaching is having a passionate teacher. When a student has a teacher who is interested in the subject matter, they cannot help but be interested too. In regards to my favorite subject, history, I believe it is best taught by focusing on the ‘story’ aspect of it. When a student can learn the over-arching narrative and hear the inspiring stories of the men and women who have made history, the dates and details will readily follow. I believe each student learns differently and a teacher needs both patience and adaptability to find the approach that works best in each individual case. I have earned two bachelor degrees from the University of Wisconsin: a BA in History and a BA in Political Science. I thoroughly enjoy both subjects and continue to deepen my knowledge of both in ongoing private study. In the past I have tutored students in music, math
