Colleen R - Scarborough, ME 04074 (7.5 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning.
Whatever the case may be, a high level of patience, understanding and gentle persistence is necessary in order for the child to feel as though they are making progress and not get discouraged. I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher.

Susan N - Portland, ME 04101 (12.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $52.00/hr.
My teaching style is student centered based upon their individual learning styles. I am a holistic grader who is able to reach and teach even the most difficult student, such as those who have acquired "learned helplessness". I have the wonderful ability of getting to know my students so that my lessons are based upon their interests. I have been tutoring for 17 years for all ages and levels. I have tutored both in and out of an academic setting, both in schools and at the students home. I am highly qualified to tutor all ages and levels of math, science, english, english language, spanish, writing and SAT prep.

Allison T - Portland, ME 04101 (14.2 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Improving the lives of children has always been a passion of mine. While my academic background has had a focus, primarily, in the social work realm, my overall philosophy for working with youth emphasizes patience and education. I have sought opportunities working with both young children and adolescents. My interest began when I tutored elementary age children during my high school career. Since then, my experiences range from being a school social worker, to teaching anger management group therapy to adolescents, to encouraging education among the youth in my community. My academic interests lie across all subjects, but I have always had a particular fondness for mathematics. I believe that education is the most efficient way to combat any issue. I, therefore, feel that it is essential for youth to find success throughout their academic journey. I approach work with youth from

Jaime P - Portland, ME 04103 (14.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My mission is to guide each student to become caring and responsible citizens. Students learn what they live and therefore, I treat each student as an individual, with respect, patience and kindness. I teach students to appreciate each others’ differences and to be proud of their backgrounds and heritages. I create high expectations for each student in all interactions throughout the day. I want to help each student reach their goals inside and outside of the classroom by helping them acquire the skills and knowledge they will need throughout life.
I believe every student has the ability to succeed if they are given the chance. I need to know all of my students and recognize that they may all learn differently. It is my responsibility to differentiate my instruction and to use a variety of instructional methods and strategies to help all of my students meet and exceed the standards s

Stephanie D - North Waterboro, ME 04061 (22 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I believe that learning is ongoing throughout life, and that we all differ in our learning styles. I like to present a topic so that it is fun, usually with tactile work using math manipulatives, or flash cards, props, and games that teach conceptual thinking skills, and methods of learning using visuals, as well as auditory cues. I have been educating people since 1987. I began in music education, which I taught successfully for 9 years, and also taught piano lessons. I then worked in special education for 1 year as an educational technician, where I tutored math, reading, and students with severe disabilities. I continued on a transitional certificate teaching elementary grades two and four, and most recently have taught post-secondary medical assisting students at a post secondary institution as well as teaching night courses in adult education in medical terminology and medical t

Robert D - Standish, ME 04084 (24.8 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I love helping others learn and reach their personal goals. My greatest satisfaction is the success of my students. I am an easygoing person and sensitive to my students’ needs, concerns and interests. While practice makes perfect, I help students use the best methods to learn more easily for their continued lifelong success. I teach students but in doing so I learn about them individually so that each experience is adjusted to the particular student. I am a creative thinker and continually work to improve myself and offer more to my students. Education never ends for me and I enjoy helping others continue with their own progress. Working smart and using the best study skills makes learning easier and more fun. I worked with the US Department of Education for over 30 years investigating civil rights complaints from kindergarten to graduate school. I know how education works and how to he

Virginia Z - South Berwick, ME 03908 (25.3 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Consistent and clear expectations. I am strict, but not overly so, and encourage as much problem solving as possible while asking questions that prod the student into creative search for answers as independently as possible. I have been a Mainstream Coach for the past 8 years as my daughter was entering middle/high school and I wanted to be on a school schedule for her. I have been teaching Special Needs students, modifying the curriculum and assisting with their transition into the mainstream. I have been involved in the Homework Club after school for 2 years, tutoring students in need of support with home work.

Danielle C - Lebanon, ME 04027 (27.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and use a variety of different methods. I incorporate different activities into each lesson to reinforce what we have learned. With my younger students I also incorporated a lot of music into the class that helped them with their verb conjugations, pronouns, etc.
To keep the students' attention I am always keeping them moving, whether it be with an activity or just simply writing phrases on the board. I encourage them to be speaking in French constantly throughout the class. I have been teaching at the Community College. I have students that range in age from 17 years old to 55 years old. I am enjoying teaching very much and would like to add to the teaching I do. I also taught for one year at the Tri City Christian Academy in Somersworth, NH. In that class I had students ranging in age from 11 years old to 18 years old.
I have a BA in French from the Univer

Cassandra B - Dover, NH 03820 (29.2 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $55.00/hr.
Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statistics and economics. Relating the ephemeral to the practical is important, and later allows for the information to be used in a real world setting much, much easier. I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics m

John W - Eliot, ME 03903 (29.3 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extends well beyond their formal schooling. Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work extensiv

Joseph H - Dover, NH 03820 (29.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I am an experienced educator who has a wide variety of experience in diverse school settings; public, private, alternative, and adult
education. I am NH state certified in Social Studies (HQT) and Special Education. I also earned a masters degree in educational counseling at Southern Connecticut State U. I believe this combination of training and work experience works together in a way that I am able to work in a variety of settings and with a variety of student types. I am a holistic teacher in that I believe the student (and his/her needs) comes first and the subject comes second. I can tutor most subjects, offer behavior mentoring,and personal and college admissions counseling. Know the student first, then teach the subject! I believe most students learn most effectively when teaching is aimed at their personal learning styles, interests and abilities wherever possible. I always try

Kenneth B - Portsmouth, NH 03801 (30 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I like to take the dry facts and rules of a subject and engage the students -- primarily through Harkness Mehtod discourse -- on the relevance of the subject and text to contemporary life, whether to absorb material or simply for the learning experience of deconstruction. Having the students write accomplished papers -- essay, research or argumentative -- is always a rewarding experience for myself and my students. I began teaching high school Drama while still in college in 1982, and went on to win four state championships. I began tutoring SAT students and teaching prep classes for the Princeton Review in 1989. I have taught GED prep for Rockingham County Services. In 1992, I began tutoring special needs students and teaching summer school social studies at Portsmouth High School (1992-1997). That year, I returned to college and earned a degree in English.

Jonathan S - Portsmouth, NH 03801 (30.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $45.00/hr.
Over the past several years I have helped students achieve their potential in a wide variety of educational settings. I have taught several different subjects including social studies, math, reading, and French to students ranging from kindergarten to seniors in high school. Although my undergraduate degree is in history and my teacher certification is in social studies, I am fluent in French and am very good at mathematical subjects including geometry, trigonometry, and algebra. I am very comfortable working with students of all ages. I am extremely patient and easy-going with a good sense of humor. I believe in enabling students to become proficient life-long learners. I try to encourage my students to look beyond the textbook in order to achieve greater enrichment in their lives. Learning should not stop at the school doors. In order to be successful in life, students need to learn ho

Charles E - Milton, NH 03851 (31.8 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Teaching requires empathy for the learner's situation above all other things. This means looking at things from the student's perspective and communicating effectively with the student to determine where help is needed and how to provide it. Learning is most effective when the student is respected and is provided the appropriate means for that individual to discover and absorb the subject matter. For the last three years I instructed K-12 students in environmental science and outdoor recreation programs, as the executive director of a nonprofit educational partnership. This involved designing and presenting lessons in collaboration with public school teachers. I received a Commissioner's Award from the Maine Department of Education in 2007 for my work with at-risk students. I also serve as the part-time Service Learning Coordinator for a local school district. In years past, I have
