More About This Tutor...

It's impossible to build a house on a poor foundation and I believe in establishing strong, fundamental skills of drawing and painting first. These basic skills then allow a student to branch out according to their individual interests, from cartooning to design to landscape painting and on and on. I enjoy working with students of all ages and tailor instruction to individual experience level. I try to maintain a fun, hands on approach to teaching. Artists draw and paint for the love of it and it's very important to encourage that passion while still directing it on a productive path.
I was the kid in the back of math class who was always drawing instead of paying attention. My early focus on the arts gave my parents a few gray hairs when report cards were issued but in the long run, that same focus has enabled me to build a very successful career. For the past seventeen years, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an aspiring teacher, my real passion lies in the art of reading and writing. I am eager to share my love for english with students. Tutoring is an exciting form of teaching in which I will be able to work one on one with students at all different levels, and truly see their improvement as time goes on. I believe that independent tutoring will undoubtedly benefit students at all learning levels. Molding my own instruction to the learning styles of each student will be the way I form my curriculum for them. Individualization is essential to the positive and effective learning environment I plan to create.
Having recently earned my Bachelors of Arts Degree from Assumption College in Worcester, MA, I returned home to Rhode Island to pursue my certificate in Secondary Education. With a major in English Literature, I plan to earn my english teaching certificate at a secondary level ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a mother of three adult children and a new grandmother, I adore children. Teaching Sunday School over many years has also brought me great joy. I also personally relate to a child's individual method of learning because I truly believe we all learn differently. There are no stupid or dumb children, only unique minds. Being patient, kind, and encouraging are only a few of my strengths, and I believe I can help any child reach their potential, even when they do not.
I have two adult children who have had learning disabilities while growing up, and fully understand a parent's frustration in encouraging their child over these particular hurdles. I have a BS in Business Administration and achieved my degree over the period of nine years while working and raising my family. In addition, I have volunteered as a Sunday School teacher over a thirty year period, teaching ages 2-12 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with children most of my life and have many years of experience with them, including independently tutoring two elementary students in the early 1990s. I spent two years as a substitute teacher for primarily Groton Public Schools but also Norwich and Waterford Public Schools. I am very good at teaching the foundational basics that an elementary student must know to continue on to success in later years of schooling.
I consider my style to be firm but loving. Children know what to expect from me because I'm consistent. I have high expectations of students and they have never yet disappointed me. My teaching hero was Jaime Escalante who taught poor, struggling, barrio students in Los Angeles college level mathematics in the 1980s. One of his beliefs that resonated strongly with me was "Students will rise to the level of expectation." I am passionate about teachin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts with a BA in Art and a minor in Education. I became a public librarian, and much of my career was spent helping people in all walks of life use the library's resources to better their lives. After 31 years I have retired from the library field. During my professional life I acquired many areas of knowledge, especially grammar and writing skills, researching and writing papers and reports on various subjects, and organizational and study skills. During the last two years I have tutored students in English, Arithmetic, Social Studies, Reading, study skills, writing essays, and test preparation. I am also a substitute teacher in my local school system.
I love teaching others. It is rewarding to watch someone gain mastery of a skill or concept, and become more confident and excited by the learning process. In order to learn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 enjoy doing helping others. My teaching style is somewhat laid-back, but students know that I expect them to learn to their fullest potential. I believe in using several learning styles in the classroom and being to identify which students require different ways of learning. If something doesn't work in the classroom, I will do what it takes to make each student understand.
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 ... read more

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 maintain my focus on art as a freelance artist and continually work with an artistic production company located in Providence, RI.
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 env ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 School of Education at Rhode Island College for one year, and even got in-class experience with 4th grade students, and from this experience I realized that my natural passion for language and writing could be instilled in the eager personalities of developing young people. My mastery of language and grammar has been sharpened over the past four years, and therefore I am a viable candidate for tutoring in any area of writing, reading comprehension, and English language arts.
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 man ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teacher of English as a Second Language – that was my initial BA. Being a native Russian speaker, I was able to understand nuances of learning and teaching foreign languages. After three years of experience as a school teacher I was awarded a Teacher of the Year scholarship. Then I began to practice personal tutoring. MA in Directing and Acting provided me with even deeper understanding of applied psychology. I worked as a professor and tutored both college and high school students. Plus, submission of research, professional reports and numerous articles gave me an insight into paper writing. My last ten years of tutoring include English as a Second Language, Business and Professional studies, and the arts.
As a college student I was taught various pedagogical methods. Then being a professional teacher and tutor I developed my own personal style. My main believe as an educator is t ... read more

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. Working with all ages, fields of study, and levels of need, I gained valuable experience guiding others through the writing and revision process. I also enjoyed working with those for whom English is a second language. I have been a freelance book editor and writing consultant for the past several years. My skills best serve writing, reading, and language arts, but I am qualified to tutor any subject that requires proficiency in these areas.
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" ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a University of Connecticut graduate, I was very driven by my passion for the sciences. I earned a BS in pathobiology with a minor in molecular and cell biology. I was a well rounded student which has afforded me skills in math, psychology, and English. I have worked as a rowing coach for many years and have the patience and drive to help you reach academic goals.
Teaching comes second nature to me. I believe that all students can learn, but each person requires a different style of instruction in order to fully understand the subject. I provide multiple kinds of instruction while keeping a patient and easy going mentality. It is my goal to help each student not only come to understand the subject, but be able to apply it in real life settings. This type of teaching can make a difference in each of my students' lives.
