Elizabeth B - Rutland, VT 05701 (10.7 mi) - Geography Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything. How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blower, Jew

Mary Ellen G - East Middlebury, VT 05740 (15.7 mi) - Geography Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I truly enjoy teaching children of all ages, as well as adult learners, and I strive to find innovative and creative ways to approach learning for each individual. I always focus on each person's abilities and interests to make the learning experience both productive and enjoyable, and I always look forward to those moments of accomplishment and achievement for each student. People have told me I'm both professional and friendly/approachable, and one of my co-workers has said that patience is my middle name. I have been a foster and adoptive parent for many years, and I have provided classroom and one-on-one instruction to students with many learning styles, both as a parent and as a professional instructor. I have worked with many students, ranging in age from young children to adult learners, including those with special learning needs. I have excellent writing, grammar, and resear

Tyler W - Waitsfield, MN 05673 (25.7 mi) - Geography Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My teaching style is an example of me as a person. I am a young energetic person who loves to teach content with passion and vigor. I have experience in teaching through Understanding by Design. Starting with a summative goal in mind and working towards whatever that goal maybe. UBD teaching allows an educator to keep a constant focus on the end result, while providing the best differentiated instruction possible through everyday learning. Besides UBD, I am open to other varieties of learning and teaching. I hold a special bond with students and my teaching style provides professional, yet motivating relationships. I give my best to challenge, provide for, and educate every one of my students'. My teaching experience includes student teaching, substitute teaching, and several years of tutoring in both Vermont and Minnesota. I have just completed a student teaching experience at Winooski

Mary C - Waltham, VT 05491 (27.1 mi) - Geography Tutor - $40.00/hr.
As a student and teacher of history, I have had the pleasure of working both in the classroom and in large, nationally recognized museum education departments. As an historian of a variety of subjects, I have extensive experience in research, working with primary and secondary sources and materials, project presentations in various formats, and writing and editing essays, magazine articles, and research papers, marketing materials. I have been a judge for several years at the state's History Day student competition, and have worked as a substitute teacher in the local schools.

Allyson K - Ferrisburgh, VT 05456 (30.3 mi) - Geography Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I love working with people, and have a lot of patience. I work hard to let the student work through problems themselves before assisting them. A lot of students I have spent time with just need a small amount of encouragement and are very capable of completing their work. I enjoy working with different types of people, and adapt my style to fit their needs. I started tutoring in 9th grade, and continued until my freshman year of college. I tutored middle school and high school students in math, sciences, and social studies. In college I tutored in Level 1 and 2 French, Psychology, and College Level Algebra. I have tutored both male and female students, and have worked with people with reading and learning disabilities.

Katie W - Barre, VT 05641 (31.3 mi) - Geography Tutor - $51.50/hr.
My creativity allows me to come up with different teaching ideas depending on the child's needs. Differentiated instruction has helped me to reach the needs of all learners and positive reinforcement has helped to motivate students to want to do well. I believe that the social aspect of a child's life is just as important as the academics. Once these needs are met, children are more apt to reach their fullest potential. Ever since I was in high school, I have always enjoyed working with children in a variety of situations. I helped out in a second grade classroom and enjoyed helping students understand their classwork. Even in college, I enjoyed helping my friends with math and writing. Last year, I taught a self-contained sixth grade classroom and this year, I taught a multi-age first and second grade classroom in the same school.

As an outdoor education instructor and program administrator I have been working and teaching children of all ages for the past 8 years. My bachelors degree is in History, but in addition to my formal education I have plenty of life experience as a coach and mentor to children of varying ages.

Dianna T - Montpelier, VT 05602 (31.9 mi) - Geography Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a graduate of The Kings College the professors taught me the value of working with children on an individual basis. They taught me that there are many different learning styles a student may have. This is what got me interested in the Title 1 Program. As a tutor in this program my focus was Reading and Math at the elementary level. My job was to help students with dificulties in reading and math to get up to the next grade level and beyond with confidence! I am happy to say that this is the most rewarding job there is!
As a member of The Professional Association of Innkeepers I have many years in Marketing, Communications and Business. I am prepared to help any high school student in these areas with great success! My strengths are in identifying a students weaknessess and giving them the tools needed to succeed. I provide the best that I have to give and know that the student will r

Stephanie W - Montpelier, VT 05602 (32 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As an undergraduate at MIT, I have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, and have complete master of those taught at the high school level. I have also completed several advanced courses in chemistry, biology, and physics, but am still young enough to remember the techniques I used to learn those subjects when I myself was a high school student. I have prepared many students (privately) for final exams in biology, geometry, and algebra. I have a knack for creating analogies and mechanisms to help students remember things for exams, as well as strategies and ways of thinking that may be a little different than what was taught in class (but still gets them to the final result). I really want to help kids succeed in school and be in charge of their learning even after I am no longer their tutor. I like to inspire them to learn.

Sherian V - Middlesex, VT 05602 (32.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have a BA in English with a minor in history and have worked as a freelance copywriter and indexer. As the mother of both a teenage son and a daughter, an occasional substitute teacher, and as a long-time Girl Scout leader, I have had the pleasure of working with children of diverse ages and personalities in a variety of situations. My resulting teaching experience has varied from the purely academic to the hands-on. I have assisted younger students in reading and reading comprehension, and older students in essay writing and research techniques. I have also had extensive experience in writing and editing, and have tutored college students in English literature and essay writing. I am very relaxed around children, and I try to create a patient and encouraging learning environment. I will often answer a question with a question in order to teach students to approach subjects with i

Gregory P - Montpelier, VT 05602 (33 mi) - Geography Tutor - $62.00/hr.
My passion is making mathematics accessible. After high school I was underwhelmed by mathematics. However as I took more math in college, I realized how much I had missed in high school. As I learned more mathematics, I became determined to make it my business to find and implement better methods of educating people on mathematics in a way that does not overwhelm them, but simultaneously makes their learning experience more useful. I studied teacher education as an undergraduate, and attended graduate school at Dartmouth where the program in mathematics has a specific focus on preparing one to teach mathematics. I look forward to continuing making progress on my goal of making mathematics more useful, and more accessible to more students. I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching
mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied education,

Susannah C - Springfield, VT 05156 (34 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I find working with children rewarding. I am patent and understanding and cater to individual learning styles. I use my artistic sense to help students visually understand learning. I believe the key to understanding and learning is to make learning fun and memorable. I'm a strong believer in constructivist learning and believe that children need to explore to learn. I started out working as a Head Start teacher's assistant and the following year I was promoted to Head Start teacher and manager. I have also worked as a 1:1 instructional assistant with a high needs student. Currently I worked in a behavior school as an instructional assistant, and I have stepped in to plan curriculum and teach all the classes because the teacher has been on paid leave this year. I also have been commuting to college in Castleton State College from Springfield after work to complete my degree in education.

Kimberly C - Argyle, NY 12809 (37.3 mi) - Geography Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My teaching experience includes a wide variety of situations. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with children in grades kindergarten, one, two, three and four in a number of educational models, including multi-age groupings, departmentalized models and the traditional classroom. In addition to my work with younger students, I have tutored high school and college students, as well as adult learners in the areas of language and writing. My approach to teaching relies heavily on the use of modeling. Modeling is a powerful tool in the development of not only writing and language skills, but also in exposing my students to a framework which will allow them to hone their own thought processes and work habits. Incorporating a wide variety of vocabulary-building activities into daily lessons strengthens my students' understanding of the subject area and provides a fam

Due to my background and experience in behavorial science, my warm personality and sense of humor, students quickly learn to trust me; thus the learning begins. My analytical insights and assessments of each student's learning style including their strengths and weaknesses, guides my teaching approach. While each student is held accounable for their best efforts, I create a supportive learning environment, emphasizing their achievements. As I guide the student through newly acquired skills and knowledge, they also develop responsibility for their own learning. My career in education includes a wide range of experience. I began as a substitute teacher covering for classroom teachers ranging from preschool to the 12th grade. My innate teaching abilities became evident and I was highly sought after. Returning to college to earn my teaching certification, I gained experience in special
