Kristen S - Bar Harbor, ME 04609 (18.6 mi) - Tutor - $33.50/hr.
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 every individual learns in a different manner, one-on-one studying with an attentive and adaptive tutor can make a significant difference in a pupil’s performance. My goal is to adapt the learning tools that I possess to the needs of each student, thereby facilitating their excellence in their academic endeavors. 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 pape

Rachel B - Trenton, ME 04605 (24.5 mi) - Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have experience as a Reading Recovery Teacher, a K-4 Title I Teacher, and as a classroom teacher of a K-2 multi-grade classroom. In each of these positions, I have had the opportunity to highlight the individual strengths of learners, and to focus on their specific needs. In reading instruction, my personal teaching style is to mesh phonetics, whole language instruction, and the integration of reading and writing as techniques to address individual needs. I believe in the ability of every child to be a successful reader and writer through focused, individualized education I am a motivated, creative teacher with seven years experience in multi-age education and one year as a reading tutor for a first grade student. I hold a current Maine certificate in elementary education and have extensive training in remedial reading instruction. I am skilled in integration of special needs educ

Richard B - Mount Desert, ME 04660 (24.7 mi) - Tutor - $51.50/hr.
I taught with the Bangor adult education program in the early 1980's as a graduate student in educational psychology. I taught adults a variety of subjects math, English and GED preparation at that time.
I also taught English as a Second language with them.
I also hold a masters in education at the University of Maine at Orono that I have not listed in the formal education section. I reserved that section for relevant finance and accounting information. But having said that, I have a broad psychology and education background (I was a clinical counselor for 12 years)that goes along with my knowledge of finance and accounting theory. I believe that you must approach education by meeting the student where he or she is rather having the student conform to your style. Therefore I embrace an eclectic style. Each student will present with some king of dominant learning style. They will

Johanna S - Trenton, ME 04605 (25.9 mi) - 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 (26.2 mi) - Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have found that most children with reading difficulties learn by reading well-written stories and by writing from their own experiences. However, they also have to have the necessary tools and knowledge to do so, and that is where phonics comes in. I believe that children should be taught through their own interests at their own individual levels, and that children should be given choices when possible so they feel in control of their own learning. Based on my experience, I believe young children learn best through games, and that even necessary drills can be taught in a fun way. As a native of Iceland I do have an accent, but I have been very successful helping native English students improve their reading. My accent also interests many of my students in knowing more about Iceland and the world around them. My primary experience in my over twelve years of teaching has been teachin

Eddie P - orono, ME 04473 (43.2 mi) - Tutor - $36.50/hr.
All of my teaching experience in chemistry comes from my teaching General Chemistry Labs while pursuing Graduate Studies. This experience relates to my issuing pre-lab lectures prior to lab starting and this basically was designed to summarize the lab and work through example problems or demonstrations. My teaching style is structured with my following a pre-determined outlined agenda which ordinarily would have an area designated for issues that the students wish to raise. Here is an example of my preferred prelab lecture:
call class roll/roster
my name
course name and number
priorities of the course
problems I recognized while grading previous assignment
give floor open to students for questions or issues
the lab concept for today's lab
demonstrate lab techniques/relevant calculations if necessary
give floor open to students for issues/questions
start lab

Jill L - Stonington, ME 04681 (43.3 mi) - Tutor - $34.00/hr.
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 guidance, a child is able to reach for and exceed their potential. I tailor my teaching to draw on each child's strengths and strengthen areas in need of improvement. There are no mistakes only learning opportunities. 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

Ryan P - Old Town, ME 04468 (43.6 mi) - Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Working with younger children and teens has always been fun for myself. I think it's good to get to know the student on somewhat of a personal level. This allows for you to understand how the student thinks and learns, since every student learns differently. I am a very patient person and I try to find the best possible learning approach. I recently graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in Civil Engineering in December 2009, which has given me a very strong mathematical background. I have completed courses through Calculus III, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I have worked with children at the local boys and girls club, which included children in grades 4-10.

Keith M - Old Town, ME 04468 (44.1 mi) - Tutor - $35.50/hr.
My experience suggests that students must participate to fully benefit from the teaching and learning experience. This implies that they must be interested in the subject. Therefore it is, in part, the teacher's role to engage the students and guide them in a manner that engenders their interest.
Beyond this I have found that students respond best when their strengths are recognized and their efforts rewarded. To maximize effectiveness it is also necessary for the teacher to determine the learning style of each particular student and to provide lessons that allow students to learn in the manner most comfortable and effective for them. I graduated from the University of Maine "with distinction" and as a memeber of the Kappa Delta Pi National Honor Society. My teaching experience began with the Upward Bound Program where I taught Language Arts and provided in-home tutoring in a diver
