David B. - Glen Burnie, MD 21061 (22 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have been teaching children younger than myself since I started teaching Sunday school classes and became a adolescent influence in my previous youth group. I new all along I was going to be a teacher. I have been tutoring my younger nephews since they are now in grade level courses. I have also had experience in the classroom as observing mentor teachers and assisting them in lesson plan creations. I will be enrolled in methods course this coming fall for my Elementary Education Professional Teaching program. I teach in the way of Scaffolding. I give the learner all the assistance they need until they no longer need it any more. I start by giving a lot of cues and help with each step. Then I slowly take the training wheels off and each time, I let them show me more and more what they can do with out the help. I hope to create leaders.

Sean C - District heights, MD 20747 (17.6 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I am Paine College graduate. I earned a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2006. While at Paine College I took variety of science classes including organic chemistry, atmospheric science, and cell biology. Since graduating, I have spent two years as a high school math teacher. I have also tooken graduate work in mathematic and math education. For the past eight years I have also work or volunteered as a personal math tutor. Teaching is something that is not meant for everyone. I am fortunate to say that my academic success is due to my ability to break down any material to a basic ideal and teach the materials in mutiple ways. The most important thing I do is make the material appeal to any individuals. Once these things are established, I believe student can effectivly learn and grow.

Victoria G - Greenbelt, MD 20770 (19.9 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I have taught college writing and literature at the University of Maryland for the last two years while completing my M.A. in English Language and Literature, and I will continue to teach writing there this fall. I also did peer tutoring in English and Philosophy when I was an undergraduate. I believe that teaching should be as student-centered as possible. This means primarily two things. First, it means students should be as active in their education as possible. I see myself as a guide, who will teach students the skills they need to discover knowledge in the future, rather than as a provider of knowledge. Second, it means that I always take students interests, learning profiles, and abilities into account when planning lessons or tutoring sessions. More generally, I am a teacher who is extremely organized but also very creative with my lesson plans. Through making lessons interactive

Peter E - Waldorf, MD 20602 (20.7 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $46.00/hr.
As a coach, I pay close attention to pedagogy as well as to the needs and learning styles of my students. With a very interdisciplinary background education in materials science and engineering physics, I bring rich applications to the classroom and thereby place the teaching of mathematics and physics into context for my students. I integrate technology into students’ learning experiences - using PowerPoint presentations and/or handouts from my lecture notes and outlines, requiring students to fill in some intentional blanks during class or their private study thereby keeping them engaged on the content. I ask appropriate leading and probing questions to explore the student’s lower and higher order thinking skills – cf. Bloom’s taxonomy. A multi-lingual professional educator and research scientist with 20+ years of experience, I majored in engineering/energy physics and materials scie

Sherrell T - Oxon Hill, MD 20745 (21 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option. I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized

Adrin D - Laurel, MD 20708 (22.9 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $46.50/hr.
As a graduate of The Ohio State University, I had a passion for closing the achievement gap that exists between minority students and their counterparts. Therefore,I chose to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in English and another Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Therefore, I am able to provide my constituents with the pedagogy and the motivation to help them achieve their educational aspirations. Since I am a lifelong learner, I have also obtained my Master's in Education. I recognize that each child brings a certain type of diversity to their learning environment. This diversity ranges from their background knowledge, to their life experiences and ultimately their learning styles. After I create a learning style profile, I begin to create and implement strategies that will help students acquire and retain the skills that are necessary for them to master the subject area. I am very patient, o

Audra M - Alexandria, VA 22303 (26 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I truly enjoy working with all ages of students. I feel that one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Most of my lessons are built around the central idea of conversation and questioning. I find it very effective to lead the student to their answer through asking questions and making them teach the information to me. I am there as support for their discovery. I also use a lot of active learning. For younger students, I do my best to keep them engaged by movement, music, and using their hands. When students are actively involved, they not only increase their understanding, but also gain the chance of remembering the lesson and information. I strive to make learning fun and active for all ages. All of my work experience and higher education has been based around my passion for education. My educational successes showcase an MS in Adult and Technical Education: Teaching English as a Forei

MaryBeth G - Baltimore, MD 21217 (31 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As a graduate of an Ivy League institution, I was able to earn an excellent liberal arts education, earning a Bachelor degree in Spanish and in Urban Studies. Throughout college, I tutored Math, Writing, and Spanish. In addition, I have concrete teaching experience. I taught Spanish part-time for .5 years to second grade students, and I taught full-time for one year in the Baltimore City School System. I attended Johns Hopkins for 1 year, and have completed part of the MAT program in teaching Spanish. I think that all students are unique, learning in different styles and at different paces. As a tutor, it is important to tailor instruction to meet the needs of each individual student. All students have the ability to learn, bringing their own struggles and successes to the table.
