Alicia B - Hunlock Creek, PA 18621 (19.9 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I come from a teaching family, and continue to learn from teachers myself. I feel that because I am still eager to continue to learn new things, I can appreciate a good teacher. I myself need good teachers, and I would not provide a student with anything but that. I am a hard worker and give 110% for every job that needs to be done. While at college, I was a member of the Americorps program in which I completed over 300 hours of community service. During that service, I had roles as both a student and a teacher. I have the experience of working with all types of people and children, and sincerely enjoy working with people in a teaching setting. I am confident that I have what it takes to be the teacher you need. As a recent graduate of Lock Haven University, I have obtained dual bachelor's degrees in both Accounting and Business Administration. Throughout the course of my college career,

Mark J - Linden, PA 17744 (30.4 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I believe in Constructivism, whereby rudimentary skills are continually built upon; a combination of rote learning and discovery-based learning built upon a mastery of previously-learned concepts, plus testing in real-world scenarios to activate within the student the ability to apply learning through analysis and thought coupled with experimentation. As one who holds a Bachelor's and Master's in the arts, I believe in the power of exploratory learning. However, as one who has spent considerable time working in computers and networking, I value the attainment of hard knowledge. When the two are combined according to a student's particular learning modality(ies), then learning become meaningful and accelerated.
In my professional career I was largely self-taught. My success depended upon my ability to learn new concepts based upon my current knowledge set, and to continue growing on th

Lauren C - Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702 (30.6 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a writer, I have a great passion for the English language. I have experience in both literature and writing through my Bachelor's degree. I am currently an MA candidate in a Creative Writing program.
As an undergraduate, I minored in Studio Art.
I have been a church organist for the last 8 years. I have played the organ for 17 years. I also play the clarinet and saxophone (12 years). I have a firm grasp of music theory. I believe that students can educate teachers just as well as teachers can educate students. I try to remain on-the-level with students in order to make them comfortable. I am very animated; yet, at the same time, I know how to get my information across. I try to be a fun and creative person, and I strive to get that across to students.

William C - Kingston, PA 18704 (31.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $55.50/hr.
While a student at Luzerne County Community College, I was recommended to be a tutor by mathematics professor David Wasilewski. I tutored college students primarily in the fundamentals of algebra and English composition. In 2005, I was awarded the Student Support Service Award for tutoring. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from King's College and went on to earn a Juris Doctor. In addition to social science courses, I have completed extensive general education courses throughout my college career. My teaching style depends completely upon the level of the student. I will tailor each session to the student's needs. I am a believer in mastering the basics before moving on to the advanced. I also divide (and encourage the student to divide) materials into more manageable steps, making schoolwork much less overwhelming. My goal is for every student I tutor to bec

Carri N - Scranton, PA 18504 (38.4 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $35.50/hr.
My most recent experience was as apreschool teacher. Despite the fact that the children were all the same age, whatever developmental or cognitive delays a child might have, is not being addressed, therefore making the teaching environment, very stressful. Prior to the preschool classes, I taught as a substitute in the school district where I attended college. To this day, I am involved in my newphews schoolwork, and help him to write book reports and research papers. That is my specialty area. I have scored perfectly in the grammar section of my college writing exam and also have experience editing works for private papers. It is very important to let children know that there is no wrong or right way of doing their work, as long as it is done correctly. They also need to know that their methods are their own. Children needs reassurance. When A childs' work is not done to one's

Heather F - Kelayres, PA 18231 (39.8 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My lessons are creative and are formed in alignment with the PA standards to provide my students with significant progress in the classroom. I believe it's important to understand the different learning styles and strengths that students bring to the classroom. As my teaching career continues, I am becoming more flexible in my teaching strategies for example, when it comes down to having two or three subjects to teach in one period, I still manage to make it a great learning environment for all. It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your program. I am a recent 2006 graduate from College Misericordia where I student taught third, fourth and fifth grade learning support and regular education in a first grade classroom. I then worked in the Pine Grove School district

Joshua A - Elmira, NY 14904 (40.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $46.50/hr.
My teaching style is to draw connections to what the students are trying to learn with what is happening today that they might be interested. When I am able I like to show them where the event happened [if it is history] so that the student does not just hear names and dates but can picture it in their head. As someone who loves history I discovered my passion for helping others understand history. Because of this love I pursued a degree in museum studies. I have over 6 years experience in volunteering my time at history museums in order to educate today's youth about the past.

Desuri A - Vestal, NY 13850 (41.6 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $52.00/hr.
I love teaching and working with all age groups. I am patient and easy going. I believe all children can learn, but each does so differently. My goal is to find the best way for each individual. This often entails different approaches at times. I provide mainly a constructivist and sometimes "expert" (focus on facts) approach to learning. However, I have found that a variety of styles may be needed to help a student learn. I believe in using a variety of learning materials to help reach students: such as audio, visual or other technology available that may help them be successful. If students have the appropriate atmosphere and materials they need, I believe they will be successful. I've always highly valued education. As a former teacher, my quest to achieve high levels of excellence in education continued. For the past nine years, I've taught several levels of science courses

Silas G - Selinsgrove, PA 17870 (42.2 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I was employed as a Writing Tutor at my university, giving me the experience necessary to know how to direct and assist peers on an individual level. To obtain this position, it was required that I show a high level of proficiency in the field, both with my major GPA and the quality of my writing portfolio.
Further along this line, I graduated from Susquehanna University with both a degree in Creative Writing and considerable experience in the writing and publishing world. I have worked in detail on the design and development of numerous journals, magazines, and chapbooks and have a keen eye written detail and quality. I always tried to keep my approach as grounded as possible so that even my least talented tutees could grasp the task at hand. For instance, I feel it important to always sound out the words on a page, making sure the words flow smoothly off the tongue and not just in th

Helen C - Pine City, NY 14871 (43.1 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with people to help them succeed. I am patient and easy going. I am able to assess a student's level of proficiency and tailor the content of training and my teaching and communication style to the level of the student. I believe in teaching through discovery, real-life examples and hands-on work. When one approach seems to not be working, I adjust. All children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I earned a bachelor degree in Mathematics and have worked in Information Technology for over 25 years. I have strong technical skills with an excellent understanding of Microsoft tools including MS Office SharePoint. I worked extensively with employees in my last position training and educating them on the use of SharePoint. I have also trained, mentored, and coached new employees and have recently

Amanda J - Binghamton, NY 13905 (48.6 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I love to teach and see the ideas light up the eyes of the person who suddenly got a concept. I think teaching should be adaptable and should fit the learning style of the student. Visual tasks, memory games, and hands-on-learning are, in my opinion, the best way to help someone truly learn (versus rote memory). I think that with the right guidance and put in the right environment, anyone can learn. I look forward to being that "right guidance." I attended several schools to achieve my undergraduate degrees, both of which I worked hard to excel at the University level. Attending graduate school at Binghamton University truly prepared me for academia, requiring many research papers and essays as well as honing my knowledge in psychology, the arts, human development, english, and biology. I have tutored, un-officially, all during my college years, forming study groups to better help
