Hilary W. - Ludlow, VT 05149 (31.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $55.00/hr.
Prescribed reading strategies are used for a reason, but when those strategies do not take into account the learning profiles of the student using these strategies, then it will leave both the teacher and student feel disconnected and frustrated. For students with executive function or cognitive deficits, challenges with reading comprehension and expressive and receptive language skills, it is key for any educator to assess student comprehension and understand where the disconnect is. Many students benefit from chunking (reading short passages and asking questions) rather than tackling 20 pages in a book without engaging in "during reading" strategies (taking notes; asking questions; highlighting vocabulary words they do not understand; putting questions marks next to sentences that are confusing; etc.). I have over 15 years experience working with students whose greatest challenge was r

Charles H - Canaan, NH 03741 (7.6 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $35.50/hr.
For the last four years I have been at Cardigan Mountain School, where I taught English, Latin, Homeric Greek, ESL, and Ancient History. I collaborated with the English Dept., providing, via Power Point Lecture Presentations, the historical background to Tennyson’s epic account of the Light Brigade at Balaklava and Shakespeare’s Henry V, and, as part of the eight grade history seminar, I delivered a forty-minute lecture on Hitler and the Holocaust. In my time here I have also played in the faculty band, directed a student rock band or two, taught beginning guitar and marksmanship as clubs, and fulfilled the duties of Medical Driver, dorm parent, and sometimes videographer. In my classroom one might observe the same material presented in various ways by means of lectures, DVD documentaries, readings, discussions, and Power Point presentations in order to accommodate the students’ differe

Susan L - Bradford, VT 05033 (22.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My career in education includes a wide range of experience. I began as a substitute teacher covering for classroom teachers ranging from preschool to the 12th grade. My innate teaching abilities became evident and I was highly sought after. Returning to college to earn my teaching certification, I gained experience in special education teaching summer school. I student taught 3rd and 4th grade, then was hired to teach 5th grade which I did for 2 years. Returning to my love of special education, my taught for another 3 years. During this time, I successfully tutored many students in language arts, math and social studies. Due to my background and experience in behavorial science, my warm personality and sense of humor, students quickly learn to trust me; thus the learning begins. My analytical insights and assessments of each student's learning style including their strengths and we

Jessica H - East Ryegate, VT 05042 (35.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $38.50/hr.
No two children are the same, and we know that this is correct, so therefore it applies to their learning ability as well. Some children need visual simulation to really ingrain the principle that is trying to be understood. While other's learn by complete repetition. My teaching style is all relative to the child and the subject area being covered. As an average person, I enjoy teaching children the values and importance of their education while befriending them and understanding where they are in relation to their social-emotional, physical, and educational development.

Brandon C - Townshend, VT 05353 (42.8 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I primarily use the Socratic Method (question and answer) as my teaching style. I believe that asking students the right questions helps them to learn the information. Also, in certain instances I believe it helps the learning process if the subject matter can be related to an area of interest. I believe this can be a key component in a student's understanding of a subject. I served as a tutor, primarily for English, History, and writing, for three years while attending Southern Vermont College. Following graduation, I worked for three years as a paraprofessional for Leland & Gray Union High School. While working in this capacity there were several one on one situations similar to the relationship that exists between tutors and their students. In addition to the aforementioned subjects I tutored while in college, I also assisted students in other areas such as basic math and general scie

Robyn C - Townshend, VT 05353 (44 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning.
I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress.
My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world. I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and adults

Gregory P - Montpelier, VT 05602 (44.6 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $62.00/hr.
I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching
mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied education,
and acquired a secondary education license while pursuing a rigorous mathematics curriculum. At Dartmouth
I have devoted myself to helping my students learn the power and utility of mathematics. I strive to help
students learn how mathematics is a relevant, useful and even enjoyable part of their lives as they become
contributing members of society. I take pride in developing strong relationships with my students, and I
am strongly opposed to the “myth of ability” in mathematics. My passion is making mathematics accessible. After high school I was underwhelmed by mathematics. However as I took more math in college, I realized how much I had missed in high school. As I learned more mathematics, I became determined to make it my busine
