peter w. - Groton, CT 06340 (28.5 mi) - Drama Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

John F - Sag Harbor, NY 11963 (3 mi) - Drama Tutor - $52.00/hr.
Teaching is where I belong. I am passionate as well as creative about teaching young people how to think, learn, develop, and grow. My efforts and skills surpass simply the subject matter and reach to character, learning strategies, becoming successful, and understanding strengths and how to improve weakness.
People say that teachers don't make much. On the contrary, I make a big difference in the lives of my students.
My approach is realistic. With regards to classroom management, I simply deny the student the opportunity to be disciplined. I look for students doing something right and reward them immediately. I ask my students to get caught doing something right.
I teach outside of the status quo box. If they are not learning in traditional formats, then I come to understand how EACH student learns and develop my plans and approach specifically to that student. Tha

Kiley S - Southampton, NY 11968 (4.4 mi) - Drama Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I have worked with children all of my life. I earned a bachelors degree from Skidmore College in 2008 with a major in Social Work and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I also fulfilled the core curriculum classes in math, science, English, and foreign language. I went on to receive a masters degree in Social Work from Boston College in 2009 through their advanced standing program. With my education, background, and work experience, I have extensive knowledge of child development and special education. I have taught and run social skills groups in preschool and elementary classrooms. I am a strong believer that children all learn differently. I consider myself a visual learner, but try to teach to cater all different learning styles. I believe children learn best when able to relate to the material in some way. I try my best to discover the individual child's learning style an

Ulysses L - East Marion, NY 11939 (11 mi) - Drama Tutor - $53.50/hr.
I specialized in poetry studying under one of the top T.S. Eliot scholars. As a literature major we studied a wide range of topics from early english to post colonial literature. This has given me a great appreciation of the english language. Having grown up abroad in Amsterdam and Switzerland has also made me enthusiastic about the barrier between conversational and written language. I am currently working part time as a ski instructor with children. This has taught me to be patient with the development of my students. It is incredibly important to maintain an atmosphere where learning is fun. I am certified by Oxford seminars to teach english as a second language. During the classes we studied general techniques for teaching english, that can be used for native speakers as well. I am a firm believer that there are all different types of learners, and thus teaching styles should adapt t

I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life.

Deborah L - Waterford, CT 06385 (25.1 mi) - Drama Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching children, students of all ages and those willing to learn. As a high school student, I was involved in inner city teaching and I helped hartford students in their studies after their school. I appreciate higher education and I truly understand what it takes to teach as I myself teach my own children with their homework from their own schools after they come home. I earned the Barbara Allen Woods Award for German Excellence at the University of Rhode Island. I taught school for four (4) years to ages kindergarten - seventh grade. I also tutored inner city children ages 5-12 for two (2) years. For the last eight (8) years I have been tutoring ages kindergarten- third grade. I took courses in psychology and children.

Gauthami Y - groton, CT 06340 (26.8 mi) - Drama Tutor - $54.00/hr.
I have been in a school environment as my favorite pass time was to spend with children. Math is my favorite course. I helped students achieve good grip on calculations and solving problems. In Short- Teaching kids gives me peace and satisfaction in life. Math is fun. Teaching math is more fun. I love playing with numbers and helping children also play with numbers and solve problems in the most easiest manner. I really wonder why does the clock move fast when I am in a math class.

I hold a Master's degree in
Education and am certified to teach Literacy Education in New York State. When I was living in Buffalo,NY I substitute taught several different subjects for over two years.
I also took a job as a personal assistant/nanny to a family in Great Neck allowed me the opportunity to
familiarize myself with Long lsland while continuing to work with children tutoring them for a year. Since then I have been subbing in South Country and Sachem school districts for all subjects. Dynamic and stimulating teaching
environments motivate students. I am confident in my ability to create such an environment, utilizing a
variety of current teaching philosophies and techniques to encourage my students to involve themselves in
the learning process. .

Marissa M - Hamden, CT 06514 (39.4 mi) - Drama Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I believe that teaching is a great challenge, and even though some types of learning are best conveyed in a traditional fashion, for most other types of learning, a non-traditional form of is more enjoyable. As a future educator, I will have a whole classroom full of individuals with different learning styles, different strengths, weaknesses, attitudes, lifestyles, and different motivations, and because of this, I will have to make sure that my students feel connected to what they are learning. I am a dedicated educator eager to resume tutoring. I offer a proven track record of commended performance teaching and assisting students in grades preschool-12th, with a passion for education and a commitment to optimizing student and school success.

I understand that children (and adults) have differennt learning styles and try to tailor my approach to the specific needs of the student. The bilingual students I teach have a unique challenge in that the letters of the alphabet represent different sounds in English versus Spanish. I have a great rapport with the children and because they are receptive to my teaching style have been very successful. Although I have taught, coached and tutored aorking professionals I only have one year experience actually teaching. Since I have been unemployed (July, 2008)I have been volunteering in a bilingual second grade at Hill Central Music Academy in New Haven, CT

Nathaniel A - Middletown, CT 06457 (40.8 mi) - Drama Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no excuse for not trying very hard in school because the main path to success as a young adult is a high school diploma with excellent grades. I am very patient and friendly with students of all abilities. A diverse education at Wesleyan University has prepared me to tutor many high school subjects. I earned my BA at Wesleyan in Music but I almost double majored in Environmental Science. The high expectations of professors at Wesleyan pushed me to greatly improve my writing ability, with my music thesis e

Ann L - Stratford, CT 06614 (42.2 mi) - Drama Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort. I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.

Gina E - Stratford, CT 06615 (42.2 mi) - Drama Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way. I was an Aide in the resource center at Pollard Middle School in Massachusetts and interned as a floating substitute at Elias Howe School in Bridgeport. I student taught fou
