Brooke L - Castine, ME 04421 (3 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $40.00/hr.
As a writer, I spent my early years refining my grammar skills and continued on this path in college, graduate school and in my professional life. I am a published poet and was accepted to attend the 2003 Breadloaf Young Writer's Conference. I
I enjoy teaching students of all abilities and specialize in working with gifted and talented youth and youth who are interested in exploring the world in an experiential way. I am the kind of teacher who takes time to get to know a child's individual interests and teach using the student centered model in the classroom. I believe in teaching children to gain confidence in them by reinforcing the positive strengths. I do believe that teachers have a real opportunity to make a difference in students' lives. As an educator, I hope to meet with students and teach them to recognize their own unique gifts. While attending Bates College, I was motiva

Jill L - Stonington, ME 04681 (12.3 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $34.00/hr.
My passion is the arts. I have explored a variety of areas including fibers, painting, drawing, 3-D, mixed media, collage, clay, graphic design, etc. Skills from all academic areas are used in the arts from math to history. An arts educaiton has been proven to increase learning in these areas and raise test scores. I was a K-8 art public education teacher for three years. For the past three years, I have worked with special needs children in a private school. Other areas of interest include psychology, English, and history. Teaching for me is a calling. My reward is watching my students grow academically and socially. As a lifelong learner, I seek to ignite a spark for self-discovery in my students' lives. I have experienced firsthand how the arts have helped children grow, providing them with academic and personal success. I know that with the right evironment, structure, and guid

Valerie S - Bucksport, ME 04416 (14.9 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a music therapist, I learned to apply my creativity to design instruction that allows the learner to be actively and successfully engaged in learning.
As a special educator, I learned to quickly problem-solve if a support strategy is not successful. I've worked with students with all levels of learning challenges (those with and without formal disability labels) and can help each learner become confident in their abilities.I understand how teachers are trained, keep current with research, and know how schools function structurally, which helps me think about where things may break down for the individual learner. FInally, learning should be enjoyable at least part of the time-another critical lesson from music therapy! I first determine the student's learning style so I have an idea what works for him or her.
Learners who have experienced repeated failure need successful experie

Johanna S - Trenton, ME 04605 (16.8 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Through my studies in Environmental issues and Landscape design, I have taken many writing-intensive classes, science courses and geography courses. As a graduate student, I spent significant time writing and focusing on grammatical topics of technical writing. Also, I have several years of experience working with young students as an educator. As a senior in college I worked as an America Reads volunteer in an inner city school system, assisting elementary school students improve their reading skills. After college, I worked for four years as an educator in a natural history museum, teaching school children topics related to ecology, biology and including math and critical thinking. Children learn in different way, and have different levels of enthusiasm for different subjects. I think that the way to encourage a child's success is to identify the ways in which the students learns best,

Margret H - Ellsworth, ME 04605 (17.5 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My primary experience in my over twelve years of teaching has been teaching students with special needs, working mostly with younger students with difficulties with reading and writing, or math. When I taught in Virginia my position was split between two K-2 schools, and I became very interested in working with that age group and its particular needs. Because of my background in special education, I am very familiar determining what educational needs students have based on assessments and observations in order to make interventions as effective as possible. Besides the Woodcock Johnson III, I have been trained in using Qualitative Reading Inventories, DRA, and Running Records, and am familiar with Guided Reading, Dibles, and the Spire program. As a Special Education Teacher I have had a lot of experience working with other teachers and specialists to be able to help the students as m

Kristen S - Bar Harbor, ME 04609 (25.4 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $33.50/hr.
While my experiences have encompassed many disciplines and languages, among them German and Russian, my education from Columbia University has provided me a strong background in the liberal arts and humanities. I have strong analytical, compositional and grammatical skills as a result of writing papers, participating in peer edits, and teaching grammar in an English as a Second Language program. In the past seven years, I have tutored basic GED subjects, taught English in both New York City and Yaroslavl, Russia, and excelled in my degree program, gaining a great deal of knowledge in many different subjects. My teaching experiences have had me in classrooms with age groups ranging from preschoolers to adults. I have been able to adapt my teaching style to suit every group and individual I have worked with, as I recognize the importance of an individualistic approach to education. As

Deanna K - Bangor, ME 04401 (26.4 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
As a current graduate student I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal about the effective techniques and skills it takes for one to succeed within the classroom. I have so far earned my BS in Clinical Psychology and am currently working on my Masters in Business Administration, which have both given me a much greater appreciation and understanding of the importance of organization, promptness, and communication as each pertains to being a successful student. During my time as an undergraduate student I was able to tutor my peers in a variety of areas, all pertaining to English-related materials, which in turn allowed me to enhance my own skills as a student and tutor. Working with people, particularly children, has always been a passion of mine. Through the psychology program at Husson College I was able to gain a better understanding of human interaction, interpersonal relation

Jennifer D - Whitefield, ME 04353 (39.5 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a literacy-based educator, I have served 12-years as an elementary teacher, including 5 years as a literacy coach/consultant supporting, guiding and modeling on behalf of new, veteran teachers and support staff to improve all students' learning outcomes. I consider myself an excellent communicator and lifelong learner as well as a committed, caring educator. I prefer working as a collaborative team with teaching staff/specialists. I believe most of my success comes from continued conversations and ongoing discussions about best practices during staff meetings and professional development workshops. I believe if we can integrate content with cross-curricular themes and skills such as writing across the curriculum in all subjects, not just during the language arts block, All students can access prior knowledge and reframe their thinking when appropriate. Once we establish accountabilit
