Patricia H. - Harrisburg, PA 17112 (23.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I have taught for many years in all levels of secondary school, alternative schools, and tutoring centers.I eat, sleep, and drink tutoring as I tutor every day during the school year and do lots of research to help my kids in whatever academic subject is causing them difficulty.
I began my teaching career for the first five years as a high school English teacher and taught regular college prep English courses.The next five years I taught English at the middle school level.Next, I got married and resigned from teaching when our first child was born. For the next twenty!!years, I raised four children and tutored kids sporadically.
After all the kids had entered school, I began substituting in our school district and substituted everyday in the high schools and middle schools. During some of the summers, I taught secondary English for the district.
In 2009, I left the school distri

Jaime T - Wyomissing, PA 19610 (24.9 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $41.00/hr.
My undergradute years at Kutztown University have truly prepared me to be an educator. I earned a BS in education with a specialization in English. This degree has given me a great "bag of educational tricks." In other words, I am well versed in different teaching strategies for all learning styles. I have taught all genres of literature, as well as, writing techniques and grammar. I have also run an after school tutoring program and taught night school. I truly enjoy teaching. It is life-long passion. I have spent my eleven teaching years working with 9-12 grade students, and I have loved every moment. I am patient and easy going. I do not mind trying to think of many different ways to explain a topic. In my classroom, I have created an environment where all my students feel safe and are not afraid to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process. I believe all

Jameson B - West Lawn, PA 19609 (25.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.00/hr.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Geneva College, I spent time developing my skills with working with children and young adults as a soccer coach. My first experience in the educational field was working as a paraprofessional at a private school for children with autism. I continued my work in education working as a caseworker with my primary focus being truancy and juvenile probation. I am currently in the process of enrolling for a Master's of Education degree which will enable me to teach history at a high school level. My educational skills are especially strong in the fields of history, government, and english. My background with history and english has led to skills in research writing and grammatical skills. After several years of coaching and working with children I have learned that my true life calling is to teach children and young adults. I am easy going and friendly and

Caitlin R - Reading, PA 19604 (27.9 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on their writing. Through this individualized tutoring style, I developed an appreciation for working one-on-one with students and peers, and began to develop a highly personal, creative style of tutoring. Over the course of my teaching experience, I have found that students learn best when they are comfortable yet appropriately challenged. It is my goal to distinguish the learning style of each individual student that I work with and from there, develop a plan to meet their goals. I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard Coll

AudreyAnn H - Reading, PA 19606 (32.9 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I tend to employ a quiet but direct approach to learning. Q and A sessions begin each session. We review the homework and past experiences of the student. I encourage students to write down their concerns and mark the areas of confusion at the time these arise. That way the students don't forget to bring them to my attention. I like to break down large projects into smaller components. The success of the student is the primary goal. A feeling of accomplishment is a close second. I back step and reteach as necessary. Praise is given often. I enjoy the teaching experience and interaction with each student. My background experience includes classroom teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching,ESL,Title I,and GED training. My classroom experiences included Pre-K to College students. It also included training nursing staff. In Pennsylvania, I hold undergrad degrees which focus mainly on math, c

Christina C - Birdsboro, PA 19508 (34.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I received my BSE with a specialization in English from Millersville University in December of 2009. Shortly after, I became an extended day substitute at Boyertown High School. During this time, I assumed the role of the teacher, taking on all of her responsibilities. When she returned five weeks later, I became a daily substitute filling in where I was needed. In addition to teaching, I also work part time at local center where I tutor elementary students, and high school students. I help prepare high school students for the verbal portion of the SAT tests, and help elementary students with reading, phonics, vocabulary, and math skills. I like to implement a variety of different strategies in order to keep students interested in the material. These strategies include discussions, projects, writing assignments, etc. I also believe that enthusiasm, no matter what the subject, is the key

Yvonne B - Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 (35.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams. I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, whe

Jeremy D - Dover, PA 17315 (40.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have always been driven by a desire to help others succeed in subject areas that I love. Shortly after college, I began a volunteer-driven, grant-funded literacy tutoring program in two elementary schools. I have an earned Bachelor's degree in communication arts with a minor in English. I have two full years of teaching experience, and I am currently working on obtaining my PA teacher's certification in secondary language arts. I have experience in tutoring/teaching students from 1st grade through 12th grade in English, reading, and writing. Children learn in different ways. No one teaching style will work for every student. My teaching style revolves around the needs of the student. I love to help determine what methods will work best for each individual. I have an extremely laid-back personality, and my wife will tell you that I am very patient. I do not believe in failure, a

I am currently an undergraduate student enrolled at Harrisburg University. I will be graduating in December 2010 with a BS in Biotechnology. I have extensive composition skills which I have acquired through writing research papers, laboratory reports, and essays in multiple fields of study. I have a passion for chemistry and am currently working on a biosensor project. I am a hard working, driven student and currently hold a 3.9 GPA. I have tutored students in English, psychology, chemistry, biology, anatomy, Spanish, biotechnology, genetics, and calculus. School is my passion and my goal is to help students reach their maximum potential. It has been my experience that students often dislike subjects in which they do not excel. It is my goal to help students overcome their learning challenges and find the same passion I do in education. I am patient, considerate, and have a sense of humo
