marlan S. - Vineyard Haven, MA 02568 (24 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Deep knowledge of poetic composition and comprehension. Undergraduate Thesis focused on 21st century Postmodern Women's Poetry. Because of the unique style of education I have received, my idea of a great teacher is one who functions more as a mentor, working with the student through socratic dialogue and experiential exersizes. A tutor should not only help the student to progress academically in the subject area of focus, but to ignite the students passion for the subject so they will thrive independently after the sessions are over. A combination of activities geared specifically toward meeting academic goals, working through past educational blocks to develop problem-solving strategies for the student, and an ongoing exposure to culturally relevant/current happenings in the field of writing, will provide a multilayered and well rounded immersion into writing and poetics.

Judy S. - South Easton, MA 02375 (44.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I have been a paraprofessional at a high school in Randolph Ma for five years assisting special education (inclusion) students in all academic areas. These students have psychological and emotional issues. Some students just need extra attention to focus and reach their full potential. Some have low self esteem and I give them extra help whenever necessary Iam patient and understanding. I work at a pace that works with each individual student.I praise the student when they try their best and make them feel important. I try to make them realize they are important and can achieve anything they want by working hard and practicing at all times

Joseph D - Pocasset, MA 02559 (15.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College. I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.

Savannah B - Wellfleet, MA 02667 (18.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I have taught several French for Beginners adult classes. I substitute teach at the local schools, and cover all ages and subjects (some of which I am more qualified for than others, and in the event I am less qualified, I let the students teach me what they know). I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials fo

Erin B - New Bedford, MA 02746 (31.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a degree in English. I take pride in my ability to properly spell and use grammar efficiently. My experience writing reports and technical writing (grants and proposals) helped me come to the conclusion that people have a hard time expressing themselves. Thus, I decided to help people in their writing so they could explain how they were feeling, or just to get the great ideas they had in their minds down on paper. Using my creativity and skill for writing I have been able to use my knowledge and persuasion to write eloquently and convincingly. Working with people has developed as a passion in my life. From an early age I have found myself looking for ways to improve the lives of people around me. I believe that everyone should have an equal chance to reach their academic potential no matter how far away the

Erin P - Dartmouth, MA 02747 (35.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning. I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, private scho

Nancy H - Hingham, MA 02043 (45.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $47.00/hr.
Teaching involves a passion for one's subject, and this passion should be infectious. My style would be described by my former students as democratic and encouraging. I believe that all students can learn, given the proper instuction and parameters. I believe in the Seven Principles of Effective Teaching: therefore, I believe children learn the most when they are actively engaged in their work. My goal is to keep my students engaged in a learning environment predicated upon respect. I have devoted my life to teaching English, reading and history, but primarily English. I have taught in both urban and suburban schools. I have taught Advanced Placement English Literature for over 15 years. I have also taught accelerated, college preparatory and basic levels in both middle and high school, but the majority of my career has been at the high school level. Throughout my career I have tuto

As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level, as well as several years of individual tutoring experience. I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore I ada

Peter G - Boston, MA 02130 (54.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I am an art history enthusiast holding a degree in that subject area. I have a lot of experience working with youth in both academic and athletic settings. I genuinely enjoy young people and all the imaginative things they have to say and do. This is why i have spent so much time working with the youth. However, for the purposes of this service, I am only interested in working with high school students. I am definitely stronger and more versed in Humanities generally than for example math and science. I write myself and am highly interested in both creative and analytical writing. I am adept at interpreting literature and art and I have a knack for phrasing language in an effective manner. Primarily, I write musical lyrics but also I do some prose writing. Due to these qualities, my teaching style is more interpretive than technical. I encourage the student to explore the academic territ

In graduate school and my subsequent work, I have developed a high degree of proficiency in writing.

I also have expertise in conducting oral histories and in photography including digital editing.
