I have taught history/social studies in Somers, Connecticut for the past eight years. Additionally, I have an extensive background in writing. I have taught students from a variety of backgrounds.

Thomas L - Springfield, MA 01129 (17.2 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My experience with tutoring, employee training and working with my own two children has shown me that there are many different learning styles and paces. It is exciting to find that key for each person and watch their growth and development through learning. Up front, I believe it is important to understand the goals of the student and their family and then focus on providing the support necessary to see them achieve and exceed those goals. Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I pursued a career in the insurance industry but have also spent time working as a youth group leader and worked as a part-time tutor for several years. While living in Connecticut I tutored homebound high school age children who were either out on medical leave or expelled for disciplinary purposes. I am proud to report that in addition to several other students, I provided tutoring for a

Karen O - West Hartford, CT 06107 (37.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $54.50/hr.
As a Trinity College graduate, I had the chance to experience a liberal arts education which gave me the opportunity to learn about and excel in a broad range of subject areas.

Robyn C - Townshend, VT 05353 (39.8 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning.
I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress.
My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world. I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and adults

Lucian S - Coventry, CT 06238 (39.8 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I am seeking a degree in Finance and Actuarial Sciences from the University of Connecticut. I achived a high level of proficiency in math from a very young age and finish Advanced Calc 3 and a half years ago. I have tutored a student for his entire second year of high school in all subjects with noticable GPA improvements. I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better.

Billy K - Webster, MA 01570 (40.2 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $43.50/hr.
While attending the University of Massachusetts at Lowell I work to help other students that were having difficulty understanding the material presented. I obtained a bachelor of science in Civil Engineering, with a concentration in Structural Analysis. The course work gave me a very strong understanding of Mathematics, and Physics. Also, the quantity of lab reports I have written has given me an advantage in writing non-technical reports along with technical reports. I have worked as a college math privately and through other companies. My teaching style is very simple and I believe it is effective. I have found that going through problems does not always help kids learn. I always try to tutor the basics and establish a plan for problem solving. The children need to know how to attach a problem not how to plug numbers into equations.

Louis S - Unionville, CT 06085 (40.2 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $39.50/hr.
Every student has something to contribute, and has a certain talent. It is all about harnessing that talent for me. I believe that every child can learn, it is simply a matter of how to help. I am patient, relaxed, honest, yet considerate. I utilize a discussion type of learning, in which the myself and my student discusses the problem and finds a solution to correcting that problem. I take great satisfaction in helping students succeed, and would be honored to help your child succeed and learn. As the first member of my family to graduate college, I understand the value of hard work and a good, solid education. I want to help students achieve and build upon thier education. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in History/Secondary Education, which has not only helped me to gain an understanding of the wide ranging subject matter of social studies and history, I also have extensive grammati
