My name is Michael Meara and I am an artist, animator, and illustrator living in Braintree.

As a Visual Arts Teacher and Special Educator, I am a resourceful, energetic person with a commitment to fostering lifelong learning in students. I am positive, outgoing, and approachable, with a talent for drawing out young people and putting them at ease. My philosophy in education is that all children are capable of being successful in school and life and their experiences and accomplishments should feel both enjoyable and rewarding through their own desires and perseverances. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I have come to realize that students can access much of the information needed to be successful in life. With this in mind and given the ever changing classroom philosophies around methods and instruction, I believe teachers’ curriculum and lesson plans can also include ways to support their roles as facilitators in a classroom where the teacher then guides student

I find that my interactions with children, or even young adults, always involve establishing a personal, familiar connection on which we then build a relationship of mutual growth and education. I possess a calm, patient manner in conjunction with an impassioned enthusiasm for reading and writing. I believe that reading comprehension and writing competency are two of the hardest, as well as most important, skills that kids of this impending generation need to become passionate about. My best language arts teachers always made sure that students were invested in the material, and therefore my strategy with children definitely involves engaging their interests as well so that they learn naturally. As an English major, I have graduated with exceptionally strong skills in written and verbal communications, as well as an analytical mindset. I was in the teaching program at the Feinstein Schoo

My tutoring practice employs the Socratic method to help students help themselves become better writers, self-editors, and critical thinkers. I do not take a red pencil to their work and "fix it" for them. I do not put words into their mouths to then put into their pens. Their voices remain their own. A strong tutor welcomes and encourages this ownership and self-expression while teaching at the same time. A strong tutor also provides steady, patient guidance and gentle correction, but true learning takes place when students "see the light" for themselves -- a direct result of the collaborative effort involved in the tutoring experience. I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center. After graduation, I was asked to continue as a tutor/writing consultant for eleven more years.

My teaching style is that of the constructivist approach. I believe that with the proper tools and guidance, students should be allowed to think independently and creatively. Ideally, I believe that when students are supported appropriately, they have the ability to learn to problem solve on their own, ultimately preparing them for the world, both inside and outside of the classroom. I feel strongly that students excell within a comfortable and nurturing environment, therefore, I strive to create that inside my classroom. I am certified K-12 in Art Education. I have worked outside of the public school system as a tutor and summer art teacher since graduation. I have also worked for a non-profit women's health foundation, where I created and implememnted educational programs for women in transitional shelters.

I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel! My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.
