Kristen C - Brunswick, ME 04011 (9.5 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I think it is important to understand that everyone can learn, however it is just a matter of how long it takes. Kids learn at different paces. They may need to be shown a different way to learn. For example, I believe that children learn to read by understanding the book,through meaning. It's important to discuss what is happening in the book. I have a guided reading lesson plan that tells me exactly what I need to work on with that student. Is the student looking at the pictures to help him/her with a word? etc.. I am very patient and kind. I love working with kids and seeing their faces light up when they have achieved certain goals. To whom it may concern,
I have taught as a classroom teacher, a Title I teacher, and as a special education teacher. All of these experiences have given me skills I use as a teacher. I have a love of books and enjoy sharing them with children.

Allison T - Portland, ME 04101 (13.4 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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 a strengths perspective. As a result, I am able to quickly assess a young person's assets and skills that will help him or her access education in the easiest way possible. I think it is important to cater to each individual's learning style, whether that be visual, audio, or hands-on learning. It is my goal to help youth of all ages realize, and gain the tools to reach, their full potential. 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 a

Jaime P - Portland, ME 04103 (13.8 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My teaching career began at Lyndon State College in Vermont. During my time at Lyndon, I was able to participate in many internships. Lyndon put me into the school systems/districts as early as my sophomore year. While obtaining my education degree, I also became very interested in psychology due to the nature of some of my students. Along with Education, I also obtained a Liberal Studies degree with a concentration in Psychology. I graduated Lyndon with the "Most Outstanding Senior" Award in the Education department. After graduation I received a job teaching sixth grade. I love learning and so while teaching I enrolled at the University of New England to work towards my Masters degree in Education. After 2 years I received my degree and also obtained a job teaching 4th grade in Windham, which is where I am currently teaching 5th grade.

Hillary P - Lewiston, ME 04240 (14.2 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a University of Southern Maine graduate, I look forward to having my own classroom where I can touch many students' lives. I have earned my BA in General Science with a concentration in Earth Science. I tend to use the many experiences that I have learned from in my own classroom and with students that I can help. I have not been a tutor before, but have had several teaching experiences. I was thinking that tutoring would help me solidify my philosophy of teaching: "Allowing kids to explore the possibilities. Anyone can do what they put their mind to." I love teaching and working with children. There is nothing better to me then seeing a student discover something new and being excited to learn. I am a new teacher and my goal will be to include several hands-on experiences in my classroom. Part of my philosophy is to give students choice when it comes to producing a product.

Christopher C - Portland, ME 04101 (14.6 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Teaching is both a skill and a passion that runs in my family. Both my mother and my brother are experienced teachers in English grammar and literature, while my father is a respected lawyer.
My style is easy going and helpful. I make sure that if a student is not understanding something one way, I take a different approach to that particular subject until the student really and truly understands. I believe that every student has the potential to excel when they find the motivation and joy in learning. I'm there to help them find that joy. I am a Cum Laude graduate of Marist College with a degree in Communications. I am a television production professional with a background in writing and English. I speak to corporate and educational institutions on a regular basis on subjects ranging from journalism to communications. My grammatical skills have been reinforced by a family of well ed

My teaching style is student centered based upon their individual learning styles.

I have tutored both in and out of an academic setting, both in schools and at the students home.

Robert D - Standish, ME 04084 (18 mi) - Elementary School Reading 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

Kerry G - Greene, ME 04236 (19.4 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I graduated from Wheelock College with a double major in Human Development and Elementary Education. Working with children has always been an interest of mine and something I enjoy doing. Over the past six years I have had a variety of experience teaching children of all ages. I have taught third grade, Kindergarten, and Pre-Kindergarten. I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated person that enjoys being challenged and working with children. I take great pride in being a teacher and being part of a child’s life. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the life of a child. In my experience working with children, I have seen the value, benefits and the importance of including other colleagues, administrators, parents, and the community into a child’s learning. I can encourage each child to achieve their highest level of success by includi

David G - Mechanic Falls, ME 04256 (20.2 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $35.00/hr.
When I teach writing, I emphasize -- and ensure that the students practice -- rewriting. Not even professional writers get it right the first time. I also encourage students to enrich their writing by reading as often as possible. Young people who take writing seriously are preparing for a successful college career. Post-secondary students who learn to write effectively are more employable than those who view writing as a technical obstacle. One of the most common complaints I hear about college graduates in the workplace is that they cannot write clearly and get to the point. I view writing as an extension of a conversation that I hold with all students. We talk, then we write. As a journalist and teacher, I've always enjoyed getting the most out of the English language and passing that knowledge on to students of all ages. I base my teaching on the axiom that "writing is thinking," tha

Colleen R - Scarborough, ME 04074 (20.7 mi) - Elementary School Reading 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.

Brittany H - Naples, TN 37207 (26.5 mi) - Elementary School Reading Tutor - $52.00/hr.
While in high school and college I have always held a passion with working with children. While enrolled in college I volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club near my university. When volunteering I assisted kids with Reading, Writing, and Math homework they may have after school hours. Upon graduating, I worked as a Reading Tutor. My job was to provide skills to improve reading and comprehension skills. When working with children one on one or in groups, I personally like to get to know the child on a level that will help me understand which type of teaching method to use. All children learn on different levels and different ways.
