Keith M - Old Town, ME 04468 (20.4 mi) - Reading Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I graduated from the University of Maine "with distinction" and as a memeber of the Kappa Delta Pi National Honor Society. My teaching experience began with the Upward Bound Program where I taught Language Arts and provided in-home tutoring in a diversity of subjects.
I then worked for the Penobscot Job Corps Program, a program designed to provide vocational training to “culturally and economically disadvantaged youth." During my 23 years there I held a variety of direct service and administrative positions including teaching the following classes: World of Work, Intergroup Relations, Exit Readiness, Leadership I and II, and workshops of job preparedness. My experience suggests that students must participate to fully benefit from the teaching and learning experience. This implies that they must be interested in the subject. Therefore it is, in part, the teacher's role to engage the

I am patient, easy going and compassionate.

Deanna K - Bangor, ME 04401 (30.1 mi) - Reading Tutor - $35.00/hr.
As a current graduate student I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal about the effective techniques and skills it takes for one to succeed within the classroom. I have so far earned my BS in Clinical Psychology and am currently working on my Masters in Business Administration, which have both given me a much greater appreciation and understanding of the importance of organization, promptness, and communication as each pertains to being a successful student. During my time as an undergraduate student I was able to tutor my peers in a variety of areas, all pertaining to English-related materials, which in turn allowed me to enhance my own skills as a student and tutor. Working with people, particularly children, has always been a passion of mine. Through the psychology program at Husson College I was able to gain a better understanding of human interaction, interpersonal relation

Elisha H - Parkman, ME 04443 (35.1 mi) - Reading Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Teaching children of any age is something that I truly enjoy, particularly learning about each child and their interests and manner of learning. I encourage the children I work with to think for themselves, to search for new ideas and meanings, and to always consider others' perspectives in making decisions. I believe that everyone learns by different means, and in tutoring others, I try to find the most motivating way of learning possible. I would describe myself as a calm, good-natured person with a wide variety of interests and a passion for working with children of any age. I am a naturally curious person who has always loved words, and spends a good deal of time reading and writing. Throughout my educational career, I have gained experience in reading, analyzing, and writing about various literary works; I enjoy debating the meaning of any written work, and writing about nearly any

Valerie S - Bucksport, ME 04416 (40.7 mi) - Reading Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I first determine the student's learning style so I have an idea what works for him or her.
Learners who have experienced repeated failure need successful experiences to help build self-confidence; I start with what they can do successfully already.
Knowing the individual's interests and talents helps me tie the topic to something important to the student, and to help them understand how the topic relates to their present and future lives.
Finally, helping the individual understand how she or he learns is the key that will allow him or her to take control. I help the student identify strategies and systematic ways to problem-solve so that she or he can develop independence. As a music therapist, I learned to apply my creativity to design instruction that allows the learner to be actively and successfully engaged in learning.
As a special educator, I learned to quickly problem-solv
