William K. - Ipswich, MA 01938 (26.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have worked at the Salem State University writing center for the last two years. At the writing center, I work with students on papers in all subjects, from math to English. My experience at the center has helped me develop methods for helping students plan and organize papers, and also for addressing grammar and style issues. I also have a lot of experience working with ESL students. I consider myself a very laid back person and am flexible in terms of addressing the student's concerns. I primarily work in subjects related to writing. My training is in philosophy, so I tend to focus on helping students develop strong reasoning/arguing skills and a precise voice. I find that these skills, which are heavily emphasized in philosophical writing, carry over well into all forms of academic writing.

Kellie M - Nashua, NH 03060 (40.8 mi) - ACT Tutor - $32.50/hr.
As a teacher, I bring passion for both creativity-based and logic-based subjects. I don't subscribe to the right-brain/left-brain paradigm. I believe students can be strong in both mathematics and writing, and it is my desire to help students realize this, because so few people do.
My basic tutoring practice is to let the student do most of the talking. I believe this keeps the student engaged in the subject and demonstrates whether or not he or she really understands. I believe that language facilitates thought, that being able to explain something in words helps us to understand concepts better. I often have the student teach me back, meaning that I have the student explain a concept in his or her own words. I believe this helps the student solidify his or her understanding and to identify and fill in any gaps in comprehension. For over three years I worked as a writing tutor f

Robert S - Chelmsford, MA 01824 (42.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I like to get to know my student. Being a little older, I find it easier to do this. This getting to know the student, includes understanding their needs and what they know. Once I get to know the student, learning can progress. I am good at summarizing the information they need. This summery is short, specific, and most important, clear. Its explaining material clearly and at the rate the student can understand, that makes a good tutor. The students are happy to learn, and this good feeling make learning even better. I have been tutoring for many years. I started at Sylvan Learning Centers, where I was there for two and one half years. I am proud to say I was successful in that I helped many students and that I was able to do this over a wide range of student needs. Some of this included teaching the SAT preparation course, both the English and math sides.
I have also had students who
