I have a degree in History with specific emphasis on American History. I have also taught the subject countless times. I am a Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from an NCATE accredited university that has a rigorous education program. In that program, I was required to teach elementary students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and adult classes. I have been teaching for three years and tutoring for five years. I have taught multiple types of learners in multiple subjects with a significant amount of success. I am a great speaker, and I can easily relate to my students. I push my students thoroughly to reach their objectives, because I do not believe there is anyone who cannot learn a subject. I have never had a student fail on my watch, and I do not intend to ever have that happen if a student is trying. If you have the will

ALL STUDENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACADEMICALLY. SINCE THE TUTORING PROCESS IS NOT A “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” SOLUTION, WE SEEK TO DEVELOP CUSTOMIZED LEARNING PLANS BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. WE AIM TO DEMYSTIFY THE LEARNING PROCESS IN ORDER TO ENABLE A STUDENT TO GRASP DIFFICULT CONTENT OR FORMULATE SYSTEMATIC STUDYING AND TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES.

Identify strengths and weaknesses, focus on further developing strengths while progressively working on weaknesses.

I have always enjoyed working with children. My current position as a substitute teacher and tutor has allowed me to work with many different children and experience how to teach in different settings. Each child learns differently, and as a teacher who understands and respects that notion, I would do everything possible to ensure your child's academic success. I want to provide the best educational experience that I can for your child. As a teacher, I am patient, caring, and easy going. I believe in learning through self-discovery, and I hope to make the experience as enjoyable as I can for your child. I work to make a difference in each of my students' lives by being the best teacher that I can be for them. I feel as if I have been preparing for this role my entire life. While still in high school, I became a peer tutor for grades K-12. I continued tutoring while attending Saint Vincen

My experience as a both a writer and reader has been instrumental in developing my ability to relate to students the specific rewards and challenges inherent to the disciplines, and I've found this to be of more practical value to the effectiveness of my teaching than anything else. At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that a student should find in a teacher a model for how to approach a subject, some reflection and validation of their own experiences, and some direction for how to negotiate the multiple paths down which those experiences may lead. The practice of this belief demands that I approach the subject as a facilitator of this experience, as something of a master-student, if you will, rather than a teacher. My primary goal is to help students develop identities as writers and readers that will serve both their personal and academic lives, and this often has the effect

Hands on, Practice based, through step by step instruction. Visual learning whenever applicable. Geometry, algebra, physics, and some calculus are in my range of teaching. I am very patient as long as the student is trying to learn and cares about the work. Mental support of students is half the battle. I am comfortable tutoring lower level math classes, mechanical design, or other engineering classes. Writing classes such as English, literature, or fine arts are fine as well. I have a BS in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering from MIZZOU. I am very proficient in technical editing, critiquing papers and writing technical papers.

I have been working with preschool to high school age students since 2004. I have always had tutoring positions, whether it was for my peers in college, volunteering for the Salvation Army, or running after school programs after graduating. I am a PA certified tutor, with conflict resolution, mentor, and CERT training (Community Emergency Rescue Team). It is important to me to have a profession where I feel that I am helping other people to progress in their lives. I genuinely care about the well being of each person I come into contact to and want to help in any way I can to make life easier, and more fulfilling for all of us. I have experience teaching many types of students. I worked one-on-one, daily, with an autistic student during my last position, so I understand that not every student learns in the same way. I think it works well to give shorter lessons to a small group, and then

I believe in a constructivist approach to education. Stusents come with prior knowledge of topics. My goal is to get those students to connect prior knowledge with new information. I also believe that there are mltiple ways that students learn. They can have multiple intelligences in several areas, such as artistic, kinesthetic, or visual and spatial. My challenge is to assess each student's learning style and then design activties that work to that style. EVery student can learn, and my goal is to facilitate that learning. I returned to school in 2007 to pursue a career in education. In several corporate positions, I was responsible for training new employees in various store operations. I have volunteered as a teacher in my church and taught Sunday School at the middle school level. During my courses and student teaching, I utilized many hands-on and inquiry-based tools to hel

Over the past year, I served as an Americorps volunteer in an inner city charter school with an emphasis on character education. I worked one on one with students helping them with math, reading, and science skills. I assisted in classroom teaching of mini lessons too. I also helped with their after-school program, I also created supplemental study guides and multimedia software to help students to improve their study skills. Tutoring has been rewarding, because it has increased my interest in the field of education. Subsequently, I am seeking certification in Biology 7-12th. In the interim, my goal is to further supplement my experiences of teaching through participation in tutoring. I enjoy teaching children at all levels. I find that children learn at different speeds and by different means. So, to be truly effective you have to present the information to the broadest base of studen
