...see the true impact of having strong social studies skills, as well as the many ways these skills can enhance writing for other disciplines. I believe students may struggle to learn these skills in school due to the name-and-date way of teaching social studies, but I also believe this is where a good tutor can help.

Some students do not share my passions for science subjects, yet I...

...to work in some volunteer work in the local area. Overall, each session should be entirely about helping the student attain success in the subject by teaching them in a fashion they can understand. I never liked teachers who had a rigid learning approach; it is well known not everyone learns in the same fashion and I believe that all students can improve their academic success if they can find what works for them.

...per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on. Learning should not be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due...

...get to learn along with the students. I tutor Math, Business, Writing, Reading, Computer classes, Microsoft Office and Adult literacy. My tutoring philosophy is that education should be fun.

My interests include reading, arts/crafts...

I have been tutoring in various subjects for nearly 15 years now. I can tutor various subjects with my strengths being in Reading, Languages, Literature, History and Science. I am best with math through 12th grade. I have experience helping students pass their GED and I can help with all of the sections including math, science, and reading.
