Maria

Certified Tutor

I graduated from The College of Staten Island with a Bachelors Degree in History. I also completed courses concerning secondary education (grades 7-12), sociology, English literature, and many various history classes. I have classroom and tutoring experience with students of all ages from K-12. I was a teacher's assistant for grades 6-12, and have also tutored for an after school program on Staten Island for students of all ages. I am also experienced in college essay writing, and can provide assistance with college-level history and writing classes. I would also be delighted to provide services for the NYS history regents, and essay writing assistance. I believe that every student is unique, and needs to be approached with a teaching style which fits their needs. Some students need more time on certain subjects than others. The student will receive one-on-one tutoring, and we will move forward at a pace that best suits the needs of the students. I have worked with many "difficult" students, and they were extremely cooperative with me and we had many pleasant experiences together in the classroom. I believe every student deserves a chance to show how great they can really be. I never lose faith in my students, and I closely monitor and guide them, until they become all they can possibly be.
