My comments on tutoring Government : I have published a 'Brief History of the United States" and have tutored many high school and college students in government and political science. I have run for and held public office, myself. I am patient and understanding.

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that incl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As far as writing, the best approach depends on the phases. I have always acted as an instructor and guide. I help a student develop and process ideas. In the brainstorming phase, I may help a student generate ideas by suggesting different areas and working on "thought clouds." We may also do a "free write" and then discuss the ideas that were generated. During the writing process I help guide students in the development of outlines and structure. Truthfully, there is no best strategy. The techniques depend on the students needs and learning styles.
I worked as a peer tutor in the Writing Center at the University of Delaware for 2 years. I worked on all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming to revisions and final drafts. I have also tutored first year college students in the social sciences, in particular in history and government.

Well-Rounded and Adaptable Tutor of Many Topics

I tutored peers in high school often as well as my younger cousins, and occasionally kids at a daycare I worked at for a few years. I was able to get into college for free, as my mother is employed by the college that I was enrolled at, and so I stuck around for several years as a full time student simply for the joy of learning. I took courses in every major area, heavily focused on theater, english and science.

Ph.D Candidate at Penn

I have worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for several years. I have also tutored math and reading for middle and high school entrance exams in the past, including the HSPT and SSAT. I have additional instructional experience at the middle school level, having taught summer school in the past. I specialize in teaching critical reading techniques.
I use the Socratic Method. That is, I ask students to explain the material back to me. This enables me to determine their level of understanding. For reading specifically, I teach students how to read critically for the main points in a book or passage while skimming over extraneous details. I also encourage them to put themselves into an author's shoes by thinking about his purpose and point of view.

Need Help Studying for the Bar Exam or Law Course?

I have been a teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania for two political secience classes. I was a teaching fellow during my time at Seton Hall Law School. I have passed both the PA and NJ Bar exams. This was accomplished on the first try for each. I also have an MBA degree. So tutoring you in business classes would not be a problem.
The best way to study law for an exam is to take practice exams and to work on your outline. That is where I can help.

Social Studies Teacher with expertise in writing

I have 5 years working in school districts in the Philadelphia area. I recently finished student teacher at a middle school in Philadelphia. I am very knowledge in all aspects of history, geography, and government. I am very well written and well read and I can help provide support research and writing papers. This is specialty.
I am very easy going but still goal oriented. I like to facilitate learning instead of just providing the information to you child. Setting the student on the right course to find the information on their own not only provides the student with accurate information but shows them how to be self sufficient which bolsters their confidence and a student.

My comments on tutoring Government : This is part of what I do on a daily basis!

international teaching experience in teaching English to speakers of other languages, Philadelphia School District substitute teacher, adult English language and American civics educator at District 1199C in Philadelphia, PA., over eight years tutoring experience (one-on-one and group instruction) including test prep (TOEFL, GED, GRE, study skills, and testing strategies.

I attempt to accommodate my students as much as possible and answer all questions that they may have.

My comments on tutoring Government : I'm very well-versed in both the United States system and a variety of parliamentary systems.

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.

More About This Tutor...

I obtained a teaching degree in both Latin and History teaching in Utah. Then moved to Texas and taught High School Latin for two years. I learned Latin from Wheelock's Latin text and I am very familiar with it. My High School curriculum used the more modern reading method, specifically the Cambridge Latin Course text. My second year teaching I taught AP Virgil and helped students work their way through large portions of the text and successfully master scansion and other poetic elements.
