Jon P. - Hull, MA 02045 (40.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child or adult who wants to learn. I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to really con

Susan V - S. Yarmouth, MA 02664 (11.1 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able to draw on my extensive work and “real-world” experience, which students seem to appreciate. I have an informal manner, yet I expect much of my students. I expect them to do the work required and to have good attendance at the teaching sessions. I teach best through “hands-on” methods, allowing students to learn by doing. I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other venues

Elizabeth S - Eastham, MA 02642 (22.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $45.00/hr.
Having earned my college degrees as an adult, I am particularly interested in assisting adults in achieving their educational goals.
I taught GED Preparation courses for seven years at the local Adult Education Program and assisted approximately 30 students in obtaining their GED. English and math were the main subject matter for these tests and study/test taking skills were reviewed.
In my current position as the Executive Director of a local human service organization, I have flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of a student. Teaching comes naturally to me in that I love to work with people (i.e. my professional career) and I love to encourage and inspire others to advance their lives through education. I create a comfortable atmosphere for students so that their stress level is reduced and they are able to focus on learning. At the same time, I make lessons fun yet s

Nicole L - New Bedford, MA 02740 (23.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.00/hr.
During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6th grade public speaking skills. I have applied the skills I learned to my current job as a home tutor. I tutor elementary to high school students in all subjects. My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them

Thomas R - Fall River, MA 02723 (32.9 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have been a high school teacher of Latin and ancient Greek, for three school years, and I spent an additional school year as a high school librarian and study skills course teacher. I also have a year of college Latin instruction experience, and a year as a TA for an ancient history professor. Over the years, I have had at least three permanent clients as a tutor, working with ancient Greek, Latin, and German, and I have done other ad hoc tutoring and professional translation work. I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent material i

Kathleen C - Swansea, RI 02777-4509 (36.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting. As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.

Margaret M - sharon, MA 02067 (42.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Because I've worked with students who have various learning differences, I have a vast array of teaching strategies. What works for one child doesn't always work for another. I encourage auditory learners to always read the instructions back to me. It helps if they can explain the material as if they were teaching the subject. Visual learns tend to respond to charts, graphs, note-taking, powerpoint- anything containing shapes and color. Tactile learners have sensory needs. If at all possible, this type of learner should be given a "hands-on" task to help them assimilate the material. I believe that my patience and relaxed nature builds confidence and trust in each student. All children can be motivated to learn, because all children want to succeed in life. As an educator, I have 10 years experience in public education for grades k-12. While my main focus has been in the field of Special

Edward S - Hyde Park, MA 02136 (45.3 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.50/hr.
After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University. In 2000, I became a teacher and a tutor. Since that time, I have taught children of all ages and adults in a wide variety of subjects. From 2002-2003, I designed and taught my own courses in physics and Calculus at the Academy at Charlemont. From 2004-2006, I completed a two year graduate program in physics education at the University of California, Berkeley. I gathered extensive experience student teaching at urban schools in the Bay Area and participated in two research groups. For my Master's thesis, I developed a curriculum to teach modern physics at the high school level using computer technology and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities. Since the fall of 2006, I have been working in public schools in Bo

Alison L - South Boston, MA 02127 (47.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $61.50/hr.
I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore I adapt my style to suit the specific needs of each student. As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level, as w

Brian G - Charlestown, MA 02129 (48.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.00/hr.
Even though I have been in the financial services field for over 16 years, I have tutored students both in college and after college.

Matthew H - Brookline, MA 02446 (49.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My core teaching belief is that anyone is capable of learning any subject. For advanced topics, it is necessary for students to master the fundamentals first and this is the primary job for most teachers. Frankly, mastering the fundamentals can be boring, but I strive to teach in a way that constantly engages the student. I am patient and positively support students as they work through material. I also incorporate a historical perspective on topics because it puts them into a human framework which is often more intuitive. I enjoy working with students of all ages and think that a good education can start at any time. It gives a person the tools to succeed as an individual and make positive changes in the world. As an undergraduate I had the privilege of experiencing an elite liberal arts education. I obtained a double degree in geology and physics, through which I learned mathem
