About
My name is Michelle Campos, and I have been a New York City social studies teacher for 20 years. I love everything about studying and teaching social studies. It is like watching a great movie or television show, only better. My passion for history started as a child from my grandfather who was a Civil War enthusiast and my childhood friend whose family belonged to a Medieval reenactment group. My expertise is in World History, Microeconomics, and American Government, but I am also licensed to teach Geography, US History, and Macroeconomics. I am a general education teacher who is also adept at modifying assignments and teaching strategies to meet the needs of students who have IEPs or are English Language Learners. I look forward to helping your student excel this academic year.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Before starting any content it so important that learn about the student. This is important to not only establish a relationship but what type of learner you are and any hardships you may be facing outside of the academic setting that impacts your learning. If the student has an IEP, is it extremly important that we go over the document so I am able to give the student the education they need and deserve.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a New York City high school social studies teacher for 19 years. I also hold a B.A. and M.A. in History from SUNY Stony Brook and Long Island University C.W. Post. While I do not hold a special education degree, I have co-taught inclusion classes for over 10 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My tutoring rate is $65/hour.
How did you get started teaching?
My desire to teach started as a girl scout in high school. Every year we were able to dress as colonalists at Old Bethpage Restoration Village. I loved teaching the younger girl scouts how to churn butter and make egg noodles.
What types of students have you worked with?
Being a New York City teacher, many of my students are below or just above the poverty level. Many students face hardships outside of school, that can disrupt their learning. I have also taught students who are first generation American or are immigrants. I also teach inclusion classes in which I co-teach with a special education teacher in order to meet the needs of students who have IEPs.
