Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors in Spring Valley, NV

...empowered by the knowledge they accumulate while working with me. If it is not fairly obvious, I am very nerdy and it would be a lie to say that it does not influence my teaching skills. I use different pop cultural references to explain a concept more thoroughly or rally motivation when needed. Though I am a nerd, teaching and student retention is always my first priority. I have been teaching higher education public speaking...

...in the attainment of your educational objectives. I have extensive experience as an individual tutor in both Britain and the USA. At Durham University, I served as a Resident Tutor for first-year undergraduates.

I also offered SAT tutoring through Upward Bound, a program which supports first-generation college applicants. This tutoring experience is complemented...

...personal tutoring with college students attempting to pass the writing section of the PRAXIS or other career oriented tests. I enjoy tutoring because my methods are out of the box. I’m perfect for students who aren’t made in the mold that standard education and testing are designed to cater to. I chose English as my subject to teach and tutor because it is a topic that allows me to get to know my students, to...

...I am a former college instructor who specializes in philosophy, theology, and the history of the classical world. I love dogs, Roman Stoicism, karaoke, and Jane Austen novels (because that Mr. Darcy is such a dream!). My degrees in both English-Writing and Philosophy have helped my students craft essays that are logical, coherent, precise, and eloquent. Never fear, for after a decade of teaching and tutoring, I still have more awesomeness to give!

...enthusiastic about education and I would like the opportunity to make learning for others as enjoyable and fulfilling as my own has been. As a teacher, it is my role to provide opportunities for all, regardless of ability, and to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. I believe very much in the saying: ‘If you can reach me then you can teach me’. I strive to create a constructive atmosphere by praising students while...

I strive to help others learn by presenting information in a new light, experimenting with different methods of learning, and tracing back difficulties to their roots. I hope to make education less stressful and more accessible to students who are struggling or just need that extra help.... I believe that teaching needs to be individualized to the student's needs. Some people love lectures and taking their own notes, while other students need an element of play....

...are few things more satisfying than seeing a student's eyes light up when they get that 'Eureka!' moment of understanding the subject material. My primary prior education experience was working at an inner-city charter school in Cleveland, Ohio. For two years I served as a one-on-one aide for an elementary-age student with high-functioning autism. His unique abilities and the way he perceived the world required me to become very creative in my teaching methods. I...

...I love watching students learn. There are many different ways students learn and I like to engage the students using videos, art, readings, simulations and writing. Watching students finally grasp a concept is a joy like any other. I graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a degree in History and a minor in Art. I recently just finished a Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction through Concordia University. I have been teaching High School US...

...nothing more rewarding for me than to know that I have helped a student conquer their academic fears. I could never be satisfied, as a tutor, until I know that the student is not just satisfied, but elated about their improved scholastic performance. I have a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology with clusters in chemistry and nutrition. I completed this undergraduate program from Brigham Young University-Idaho. While there, I worked as an English tutor. Some...
