Julia T. - Danbury, CT 06811 (10.7 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I focus more on individual progress than grades. I think it's important for tutors to help students work at their own pace, develop stronger study skills, and build confidence in order to achieve academic success. Currently, I work as a Museum Assistant at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture in Oneonta, New York. As a museum assistant, I perfect my verbal communication skills, anticipate others' wants and needs, and take initiative in assisting museum visitors. I've also lent my creativity and excellent writing to The Mommy Dash and Hilltops, or Hartwick College's newspaper. From my employment history, I've built strong leadership skills and gained a strong need to work and constantly better myself. I believe these traits qualify me as a strong tutor, as I've learned to communicate effectively with children, discern their strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them to progress at their ow

helga n. - Easton, CT 06612 (11.2 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $32.50/hr.
My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.

Kevin M. - Greenwich, CT 06831 (11.9 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $75.00/hr.
I have been a teacher in Stamford Public Schools K-12,a United Nations correspondent, published a novel, and have a BA in Literature from Purchase College. I have experience with teaching large classes or individual tutoring, and I'm great at presenting ideas that the student can identify with. I get people I'm working with to realize they can do more than they think they can. I like to get students to comprehend the material and then have them push themselves and use what they have learned.

erin h. - Stratford, CT 06614 (19.8 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $125.00/hr.
20 years of freelance writing has proven a solid foundation for pretty much any kind of writing. Assisting kids with complex essays associated with college applications is an area of particular expertise. College has become increasingly competitive and the essay component is critical. The ability to communicate effectively will immeasurably help us all. Colleges use the essays as an initial introduction to the applicant and first impressions matter.

Catherine L. - Hopewell Junction, NY 12533 (21.2 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $40.00/hr.
With each new student comes the opportunity for a new teaching style. Each child learns in a different way. I have been a tutor at a local elementary school where my students were very successful. As a future teacher, I am learning and growing in the skills necessary to now take on and help educate children in the common core. I have been an assistant teacher, a teacher's aide and an after school teacher. I have worked in many different settings including pre-school, elementary and middle school. My degree also focuses on special education, so I have acquired skills to help focus in that area.

Linda J. - Yonkers, NY 10703 (24 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Throughout my years of teaching, I have witnessed and helped assist in new and exciting educational program implementation in day-cares and school systems. With my real world and in class learning I have realized the importance children’s primary academic instruction plays in their growth and development. I find it fortunate that I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level, and those who were exceptional. These opportunities have helped build my classroom management abilities and communication skills. My philosophy of education has been centered on differentiated instruction and the importance of individual learning styles and effective evaluative measurements. From March 1st, 2010 till June 30th, 2011 I have had the opportunity to be both a full time grade one and grade four teach
