Christine C - Northampton, MA 01060 (19.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Throughout my life, I have always had an ability to talk with and to listen to adolescents. Regardless of a student’s academic aptitude, socio-economic status, or learning differences, I honestly believe that each student has the ability and the right to learn about the world around them and to be helped by adults in their life-path and individual growth. As a teacher planning lessons, I deliberately infuse the learning with opportunities for student choice, intellectual growth, and explorations into interconnected themes, ideas, and questions. I know that all students can be highly successful, if provided the opportunity to interact with engaged and thoughtful teachers. As a person who truly values learning, I have continuously engaged in being both a student and a teacher in academically rigorous studies. With over 14 years of professional education experience, including high scho

Casey S - Spencer, MA 01562 (33.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons. I helped students with a variety of subjects such as science, math, social studies, geography, and even organizational skills. I worked with children from all walks of life, including kids with disabilities.
During my time at Breakthrough I also spent two days a week tutoring mentally disabled adults. I helped them with basic math and reading skills, as well as life skills. I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I truly

Sheryl K - Hampden, MA 01036 (34.3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with all students- elementary to college-age. I have experience tutoring and mentoring children of all ages, including special-needs children. I gain great satisfaction from knowing I am helping students succeed. Knowledge is power. As a graduate student at Bay Path College in Longmeadow, MA I have mastered the fields of finance, accounting, technical writing, and computer skills. As a paralegal, my attention to detail has allowed me to master all rules of grammar and language format. While attending undergraduate school in Colorado I tutored classmates in Spanish, Italian, and writing. I also volunteered as a law clerk and taught Greek Mythology and Sociology to middle and high-school students expelled from school and placed in the Boulder County Juvenile Justice Center.

William W - Leominster, MA 01453 (35.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $43.50/hr.
Regardless of the demographics of the student population in the classroom, I have learned that it is as important to listen as it is to present information. I encourage participation in classromm subjects yet maintain control and functionality of the class so that the lesson is not lost in the discussion. It is rewarding to see the improvment of self esteem and knowledge when people become heard and are understood in a positive environment. The miracle of comprehension is akin to nurturing, encouraging and challenging an individual to blossom and bear fruit that can be enjoyed and savored by many. I have spent a lifetime educating myself and participating in professional development and then giving back my knowledge and skills to those that may benefit. I have found that I frequently learn as much from those that I teach as they learn from me. My History degree is not only a passion but

Harrison K - worcester, MA 01609 (40.1 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed both the humanities and sciences. At Virginia Tech, I majored in Philosophy and Minored in Statistics and Business. Since graduation, I have worked primarily in an engineering setting performing statistical analysis and other tasks typically performed by a test & validation engineer. Next fall I am starting a masters program at Northeastern University for Industrial Engineering. I have substitute taught for the Hopkinton Public School system and the Auburn Public School system. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I feel that I excel in putting myself in the student's shoes. By trying to understand their thought process, I can best teach by making sure the student follows the logic of the subject. I have always believed that allowing the student to reach understandings through subtle guidance by the teacher is the best process. This method allows students

I later tutored in statistics for the premedical office at my school. I love teaching because it provides an opportunity for both teacher and student to learn new things. I also believe that by applying appropriate teaching styles, the most difficult subject can be very easy to the students. I believe in getting students involved in their studies by making it fun. A child needs to study but must have fun whilst studying. My objective is to provide good educational approach to ensure that my students are the bes

I am currently a graduate student at Tufts University. I also have a B.S. in Geological Sciences/Biology from Brown University where I graduated magna cum laude. I am most comfortable tutoring in the areas of math, science and writing, but also feel comfortable with language arts and social studies for elementary/middle school aged children.

During my college years, I worked as a Calculus tutor and teaching assistant for a Geology course. I have worked extensively with special needs students, as well as students with behavioral issues. What I enjoy most about education is determining how to explain more complex ideas to students who have difficulty grasping these concepts. I enjoy watching students become engaged in learning some

Shauna K - Sutton, MA 01590 (47.4 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I always want students to feel relaxed in a tutoring session. I adapt my teaching style to each student and encourage them to practice, explore, analyze, and learn from any mistakes. As a tutor, I will create an environment of comfort, and answer questions without causing any embarrassment. I want to restore a student's confidence in learning. I've tutored at inner-city schools and in one-on-one environments. I have also tutored numerous Russian-speaking adults, children, refugees, and asylees in English through a non-profit organization. This assistace helped them become self sufficient and learn English and American culture. I thoroughly enjoyed that tutoring, and have since become a teacher.
