I have tutored students with a wide range of abilities and realize that they have different and unique learning styles. As such, I use a wide variety of teaching methods to reach as many students as possible. By the time students are in their 3rd and 4th year, my teaching style is based more on discovery learning. I provide a framework and act as a guide as my students search out solutions for themselves. I try to encourage my students to be critical thinkers and not passive consumers of information. I draw a connection from the material discussed to current events in the news, and place the material in a historical and cultural context so the students have a broader understanding. I often reflect back on the teachers I have had - the ones who made a positive impression - and what I liked about them. They had a sense of humour, presented material in an interesting way, neve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to encourage and reward students for their efforts. I want what I teach to be fun and become something they want to learn rather than some thing they have to do. I will put together a plan that will entail all the required learning objectives while including ways to relate what we are studying to every day life situations. My style is to let the student have the freedom to expand their own imagination, I want my students to feel what they read and understand the content in a way they can speak open about the story or subject. I am a good public speaker and have been very successful in motivating people. I know I can make a great difference in a students life and I want to make a difference in our future leaders.
I hold a degree in Business as I have been in this field for over 30 years. I have been an engineering assistant for ten years and worked in sales and marketing. Up ... read more

My gift is my teaching ability. My family, friends, and associates all tell me so. My style is marked by patience. I strive to stimulate in students the joy that comes from discovery. I put a human face on the subject matter by introducing students to the giants in the field. You can sample this approach by viewing the blog I published for my science talk to 8th graders at: http://bit.ly/iAVaEB. “If I have seen further, it is from standing on the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton This worked for Newton and it sure works for me. It can work for your student too. “The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.” Kahlil Gibran?

Even though I have been in the financial services field for over 16 years, I have tutored students both in college and after college. I was a volunteer freshman basketball coach at North Cambridge Catholic for 3 years. I was a volunteer tutor every Saturday morning for the Steppingstone Foundation where I mentored middle school and high school students. I currently work for Education, Inc. as a tutor for students who are unable to make it to school for a variety of reasons. I am a volunteer tutor at the Edwards Middle School and the Harvard/Kent Elementary school both located in Charlestown. I have tutored students in English, math, science, history, Spanish, etc.
I have found that I have a passion for teaching children of all ages. For that reason, I am pursuing a career in teaching. I have taken the Communications and Literacy MTEL and will be taking the Elementary Math MT ... read more

For the past three years, I have been working as a senior lecturer in freshman composition at Suffolk University. In addition to my teaching experience, I also volunteer regularly with 826Boston, a non-profit tutoring and writing center in Roxbury, MA. From week to week, I supervise middle school student’s homework and also writing projects in which they are engaged at the center. Also I have run weekend story writing workshops, and I am on the editorial board for a forthcoming book of student writing called Bedtime Stories. I come to the classroom from a career as a freelance journalist for such publications as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Runner's World, Budget Travel, and Poets & Writers magazine. Prior to heading out on my own, I was an award-winning producer at WGBH in Boston, creating web sites and DVDs for such for well-known PBS programs such as American Experience and ... read more

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 ... read more

In addition to working for many years as a writer and editor for newspapers, Harvard Law School, and as a freelancer, I have volunteered as a writing tutor and ESL classroom tutor. I have worked with students on a wide range of skills, from bolstering the English-language ability of students from other countries to helping advanced students craft sophisticated academic analysis and college essays. I enjoy using my editorial skills to help students improve their writing and succeed in school.
I believe in constructive criticism and positive reinforcement, steering students to find their own voice and style. I recommend simplicity in writing and the importance of making arguments in a clear, concise manner. For many students, writing is deeply personal, and I'll always respect their choices while guiding them to improve their presentation.

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated educator (or at least learning to overcome failure). We each benefit from someone walking with us while we learn on the journey.
My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of stu ... read more

My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.
I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!

I am very interested in seeing kids prosper through the obtainment of knowledge and learning new ideas. I think that it is crucial for students to be taught in accordance to his/her own personal needs, which hopefully while working with the same tutee, I would be able to pinpoint. I am patient when it comes to children having particular difficulty with a certain subject matter or concept, and I love when things finally "click" for the child. I hope to facilitate the learning and education experience in the lives of the tutees I work with and to make education more painless and fun.
As a Boston College graduate of both the undergraduate and masters in accounting program, I feel as though I am extremely proficient in many areas of business, including writing and math skills as well. The math skills are from my first year and a half as a math major at Boston College, and the writin ... read more

I believe anyone (this means you!) can learn to write well and enjoy it. I can help you conquer writer's block, say what's in your heart and mind, make yourself understood ... and get good grades. It can be hard work, but I'll make it fun. Perhaps most important I can explain grammar to you in a way that makes sense so it will stick with you. Once you know why, it's much easier to remember what's right. The great thing about writing is that you often end up amazing yourself with your creativity, insight, and ability. I know you can do it!
For the last 15 years or so, I've worked as a professional writer in the travel industry. I've also published a few newspaper articles. Currently, I am studying for my Master's in Journalism at Harvard University Extension School. My professors there will vouch for my excellent grammar skills. As a writing tutor with 826 Boston, I have help ... read more

I have high expectations for all of my students. They know it, and when we're done, they're proud of what they've accomplished. I teach SAT, for example, and expect all of my students to earn at least a 9 out of 12 on the essay portion. I coach each one on employing his or her strengths to produce a good essay. With beginners, I focus on organizing the presentation, clear declarative sentences, and effective use of transitions to keep things moving. Then we progress to varying sentence types and common vocabulary (for example, don't say "very" all the time; use "extremely", "powerfully", "excessively", "dramatically". Same with "nice", "bad", and the perennial favorite "awesome.") Analyzing other students' essays provides a model and some metacognition (without the jargon) for students. Everything is scaffolded, and advanced students can move up the steps rapidly. But every stude ... read more

I have gained valuable experience in the classroom while studying Leadership: the importance of effective communication, listening skills, and persuasion. I am a calm and caring person, and am patient and creative while teaching. My students feel comfortable with me and I am able to bring out the best in them because of their comfort level.
As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Northeastern University, I have gained experience in persuasive writing, research papers and presentations. I have tutored on a volunteer basis for English as a Second Language.
