I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with two bachelor's degrees. One degree is in Spanish and I consider myself completely fluent, especially having spent a semester in Costa Rica. During this time I volunteered at a school teaching students ages 5 through 18 English at different levels. My other degree is in Social Thought and Political Economy which required a lot of writing, generally 15 to 25 page papers per class. It is a major dedicated to social change and I learned subjects in all areas including History, Current Affairs, Politics and Political Science. I have been a gymnastics instructor for about eight years which has helped in shaping my teaching style. I love to push children in a supportive manner so that they can believe in themselves and truly get the most of their education. On top of teaching for the semester in Costa Rica, I also worked fo

I use a variety of teaching styles and methods for children. I use various styles of music, composers and performers in lesson plans. Currently I am using books on music and musicians as part of my lesson plans. I believe literature is extremely important in teaching children. I am direct with children in my classroom. I give them expectations, I set goals, and I follow through. It is important for an instructor to state exactly what is expected of the student in order to help them achieve their goals. I have been teaching children of all ages for over 25 years. My primary expertise has been in music education. I have been employed in public, private and parochial schools throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Not only have I created traditional lessons for children in the classroom, but I have also gained experience as a musician, performing in a variety of ensembles, bands and mus

I have been working with children as a baseball coach and softball umpire for over 25 years and often parents have told me that I must be a teacher as I worked so well with children. Five years ago I decided to change careers from management and go into education. I went back to school and completed a masters program in elementary education with a 3.8 G.P.A. I am certified to teach in Massachusetts and I will receive my Virginia license in a couple of weeks as I have just relocated I believe that all children in this country have a right to a world class education. I also believe that education is a partnership between the teachers, parents and students but, understand that due to economic and social conditions not all parents are as active in their child education. I have tutored children in Reading and Math and I have often been told that I try to make learning as easy as possible by r

Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though it is important to engage all different types of learners and to make them feel as if the classroom is a place where everyone is safe and included. I have worked extensively in the past with children that have Autism. I believe that all children, despite any disability, are capable of being successful students as long as they are given the right tools and the support that is necessary. Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter. I hold an Associates of Applied Science in Community Service and Leadership and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduated Summ

I have recently finished my Master's program in piano performance. I am an active teacher as well as a performer in the Boston area. Though primarily trained as a classical musician, I am a versatile pianist and have various experiences playing for and directing musical productions and cabaret concerts. I have also been studying voice for the past 6 years and have participated in numerous opera workshops and vocal ensembles. As an undergraduate at Wellesley College, I majored in art history and have extensive research, writing, and analytical skills. With my liberal arts and musical background, I feel confident in tutoring students in English, history, mathematics, physics and needless to say, the arts. I think one of the most important qualities for a teacher is to have a radiant enthusiasm for the subject you are teaching. After all, how can you get the students excited to learn, if

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!

As a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, I have been teaching and performing music prolifically for the last 5 years. I have worked with 15-20 students weekly, as a Tutor at Berklee, helping them complete their coursework to the best of their abilities. I have also had significant experience working with children between 6 to 15 years of age as a Teachers' Assistant. I helped children understand their assignments, reviewed homework and provided feedback to parents. Also, as a private guitar instructor and music teacher for the last 4 years, I have been giving lessons in Traditional Harmony, Jazz Harmony, Sight-Reading, Music Theory, Arranging and Composition as well as Guitar Lessons. Having worked with a huge number of beginner and intermediate music students, I believe in getting to know the student and his or her aspirations, and then devising lessons to address the indivi

I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I would do better: I would give her some “tricks” to succeed: how to read a text, what “turns” to look for, how to call them (those parts), what for, what do they support, and so on... If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focu

I am firm and consistent always asking for the students' imput. My style will vary with the assignment at hand, also. It is important to me that I achieve expectations of me through collaborative efforts. It is important that I help each child reach his/her potential motivating them to plan their work carefully and to strive for success. My tutoring involves following classroom plans in Reading, Writing, English, and related skills and subjects. The goal is to support my students in their academic work that needs remedial attention as well as to enhance and enrich their homework, supporting them in every way possible. I mainly teach grades Kindergarten through six and have worked for over three years with older students at the middle school level(s).

Having just graduated last year (May, '09) from Tufts University with a Bachelor's degree in music, I have an extensive, solid knowledge of both music theory and music history. Also, as a piano player myself, I spent my last year at Tufts working with the Community Music Program, giving piano lessons to classes of children ranging in age from 4 to 13. Additionally, after graduating, I successfully completed the MTEL (Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure) exam in Music. Having spent a year living in France in high school and a summer during college, I am very comfortable with both French conversational, writing, and grammar skills. Although I believe in some degree of structure, I am very flexible in my teaching style. Every student is different - I work with each one individually to determine their goals and then develop an appropriate, unique program. Children learn best by activel
