robin c. - Hamburg, NY 14075 (38.6 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My name is Robin and I have excellent teaching strategies for learning. I focus in on academic success, especially for struggeling learners. I start with the basics in all subject areas and make sure basic concepts are learned first then advance on to higher level thinking techniques to broaden my students overall knowledge in the core area they are studying. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 3 years now. I have done both resource base instruction and consult teaching with other teachers. Resource instuction is instruction done in small groups that works on developing skills, teaching strategies for stuggeling learners, and advancing already learned skills. Consult teaching in done during whole group instruction and two teachers team up to help advance stuggeling learners or learners with disabilities. I enjoy my work and love to see the results of the students I work wit

Jacob S. - Lake View, NY 14085 (41 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have a degree in English an Communications which makes me proficient in understanding literature, and how it is received by the public. I was a writing tutor for three years in college tutoring people of many different backgrounds, many of which achieved success to a point of no longer needing to be tutored. A mix of hands on and hands off learning. Highly fond of the socratic method of teaching by guiding the pupil in the direction they need to go and letting them discover the solution organically. Direction and help are given directly when needed.

Immanuel D - Bradford, PA 16701 (9.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I have taken statistics and gotten an A in the course and still have all course materials to give a general overview of statistics and how to use SPSS. I am knowledgeable on the software and would be able to answer questions on statistics because of how well I did and how I used to help others who struggled with the class. My teaching style is to have a set of problems made up for the students to observe as examples to help understand certain chapters. I will assign additional problems if needed and focus on the subject matter that is the hardest for the individual to understand.

Melanie M - Ischua, NY 14743 (10 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I have 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher in all areas of elementary education as well as high school classes.
I have 2 years experience as an in home tutor for a student with physical disabilities.
I have 2 years experience as an itinerate teacher for an environmental education program and a gifted/talented program. I love working with children and I believe all children have the capacity to learn. Teachers need to recognize and learn the correct methods to instruct individual students using their strengths to overcome their weaknesses.
I employ various teaching styles based on the student, the subject area, and the goals desired.I am patient, understanding of outside circumstances, and strive to ease the student into the process so they do not become overwhelmed.
I keep the learning environment fun but structured so that the student has the best environment in which to

Tandra H - Bradford, PA 16701 (10.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I have worked as a tutor in my college's writing center and as a teaching assistant in major course requirements. I will graduate at the end of this month with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in English, having completed more than 90 credit hours in literature studies and 18 credit hours of creative writing. I am a recipient of the Haussner Endowed Writing Award and have presented my work at the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society annual convention (2010 & 2011) and my college's Student Research Day. I not only have studied writing and literature and taught it, but I love it. I greatly enjoy reading and writing and like to impart that love on my students. Because students learn in different ways, a teacher must understand, appreciate, and adapt various teaching styles. Learning cannot become synonymous with boredom, and I strive to help keep my students engaged. I understand that all

Catherine K - Portville, NY 14770 (12.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $45.50/hr.
With my M.A. in English from St. Bonaventure, I have the teaching and tutoring experience needed to help students of all ages reach their full academic potential. I tutored undergraduates with writing assignments by giving them undivided attention to help facilitate their unique needs. I learned to be patient and understanding, but I also learned I have an energetic passion for aiding students with reading and writing. In my two semesters instructing a writing course, I used my diverse teaching styles and inventive skills to help my students become better writers and readers. In high school, I peer-tutored for the elementary speech teacher; I learned how to use multiple learning activities for students who needed extra inspiration. Throughout my tutoring and teaching experiences, I have encountered students with disparate learning styles; therefore, I have learned to be patient and to em

Marjorie A - Randolph, NY 14772 (21.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $48.00/hr.
My philosophy is that education is power. Knowledge is our greatest defense and our greatest weapon. Through knowledge we gain experience, which enriches our competence, which protests the ills of society, which leads to a social justice, and most important, liberty. Learning is an activity that we should never stop, and if we do, we begin to die.
I believe all children can learn given the appropriate avenues to success. Part of our job is to find those avenues and encourage our students to use them. I have been substitute teaching for 5 years. Within that time I decided that teaching was for me and went on to get my degree and certificate to teach. I have completed several long-term substitute teaching positions, picking up where a teacher left off, often times unexpectedly. I have taught classes in the elementary, middle and high school.

Rory P - Jamestown, NY 14701 (32.9 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I believe the best teaching involves personal attention to that in which the student's interests lie. Helping a student to see how a topic can have impact on his life will make the course relevent and help engage the youngster. I also believe in encouragement at each step and making a "big deal" about each success. I see myself as a mentor who wants the next generation to be better than my generation - pay it forward. As an Academic All-American and SUNY Chancellor Award winner, I've always valued education. I tutored writing and englisg-related topics in college. I also was a state certified hunter safety instructor for two years. I spent 8 years teaching life and social skills to developmentally disabled adults and even was able to get one to craft his own poetry,which we both found very rewarding.

Ann P - Conesus, NY 14435 (53.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $49.00/hr.
Writing has been the passion of my life: I love words, doing things with words, making words work, a capability I can readily transmit to others. I am extremely well read, a published writer, with a ready recall of literary texts to illustrate effective writing and useful technique. For 20 years I was a financial analyst at a NY brokerage, where I turned out 2,500 words per day of analysis and commentary. I was also a language and usage consultant at a financial boutique and a legal proofreader. I am particularly good at eliciting enthusiasm for good writing and appreciation of English grammar. I am a practiced writer with business and creative writing experience and training. Teaching is the business of taking a student from one place to another. I begin with an individual assessment that takes account of the student’s perception of the problem and the academic goals he/she needs
