Everyone Can Learn!

Hello, I have been in education for many years, and have raised four grown children. Over the years as a tutor, teacher, adjunct instructor, and an academic advisor, I can honestly say with conviction that every student has the ability to learn. As Howard Gardiner suggests, we all have multiple intelligences. I believe it is the responsibility of the tutor and teacher to determine each student's specific learning style, and teach to this intelligence. With my background in psychology... Read more

Study Super Social Studies! I can help YOU!
I am a great tutor. It is true, I have a wonderful ability to help you understand history and learn it. Not only that, but you will understand it so well, that you will end up loving it like I do. I didn't start out loving history or social studies. My teachers were boring and unenthusiastic. But it only takes one teacher to change that. One teacher to bring excitement and knowledge into your life and I am that teacher. I live and breath history, especially American history. I am well read in... Read more

- Slingerlands , New York ( 12159 )
- 20 miles
I can teach you how to write smoothly, clearly, concisely, and in an even tone. Good writing starts with organizing your thoughts and ends with work that is attractively laid out on the page. Between these two points lie using standard grammar and punctuation, choosing the right words, omitting what is unnecessary, and editing your work. Not only can I teach you what to do, but also how you can put the lessons into practice according to your own pace and temperament. Law is a literary... Read more

I worked in Japan as an English teacher for 7 years.

I have been working in pharmaceutical and chemical production since, but have always continued to coach (motorcycling, fitness) and teach (even if it's just my 2 boys). In both, I enjoy the f...

Andrew
Blues, Rock, Jazz, Classical Guitar...and History!
I have a lot of experience teaching (tutoring) in guitar. I help you set clearly defined goals and objectives. Then I help you get there. The setting of goals is important because then we can work together toward them. There are milestones on the way to the goals which will help you know how you are progressing. I am very honest. If you are not making progress I will work with you find out why. But, in the end, the responsibility is on you to do your nightly homework so I can help you move fo... Read more
