Jessica P - Wheelock, VT 05851 (3.3 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have always worked with children. I have been a part of many volunteer projects surrounding children as well as direct related jobs. I have worked with children with various learning abilities and overall capabilities. I believe it is important for children to have someone to help them understand their educational tasks. I am patient and organized and feel that children can benefit from having someone explain their coursework one and one and creating various hands on experiments to able their learning. Throughout my coursework I have found that I learn better creating tricks and games to help me learn and feel that some children may benefit from this learning style but am willing to help children find what works best for them. I have earned my bachelor degree in Marine Science with a concentration in Marine Biology. I have always had a passion for the sciences and always knew I wanted

Gabriele R - St. Johnsbury, VT 05819 (6.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed teaching. I try to take into consideration the individual's learning style when teaching. Many kids learn best when a "hands on" approach is incorporated into the lecture or instruction. I am laid back, patient, have a good sense of humor, and have never had difficulties connecting with youth of all ages. Sometimes, I have used creative ways to teach. I feel it is important to hold the interest of a student and ignite a childs' natural curiosity. The majority of my experience lies within the field of Human Services/Counseling. However, I have substitute taught for about 18 months, elementary level and high school level. In addition, I have tutored foreign languages on a college level for two semesters.

David A - St Johnsbury, VT 05819 (7.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I am a patient and relaxed teacher who is interested in student success. I am able to find different ways of explaining and assisting a student based on their needs, background, and abilities. I believe that students will measure up to expectations that are set for them and are responsible for their own success. I have spent over 34 years as a senior software engineer with extensive experience in all aspects of complex software development in system software and medical devices. I have researched, developed, designed, implemented, tested and supported numerous products. I am highly organized and detail-oriented with strong documentation and training skills. In addition, I have taught algebra and computer programming classes at the college level with class sizes ranging from 10 to 250 students and I have done substitute teaching at the high school level.

Stephen C - St Johnsbury, VT 05819 (8 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have only worked with students at the 8th grade level through adult, but have been able to engage students at every level of ability. I seek to understand each student's strengths and weaknesses, as well as his or her most beneficial learning styles, and to use those styles to develop the weak areas while capitalizing on the strengths. I am very patient and have a strong ability to explain different approaches to understanding concepts. My goal is not to help the student solve a math problem, but to enable the student to grasp the entire concept, as well as to appreciate the concepts and methods in the context of logical thinking and progression. A successful student is one who not only knows how to "do math", but can exercise the same concrete and abstract thinking processes in real life problem solving. After receiving my BA in Math Education, I spent four years in aerospace engi

Mary B - West Burke, VT 05871 (8.8 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $41.50/hr.
As a Business Consultant over the past 20 years I have taught computer and business applications to over 50 business employees. I have extensive experience in fund accounting and grant administration.
While in college I tutored finite and basic math in a work study program. I have found that I have a unique ability to teach students who have learning disabilities. I have the ability to read how a student learns and change to their abilities. I began my college education majoring in Special Education and changed to Business later when I realized I was suited for one on one teaching. I believe in teaching to the student’s style of learning. If convention works use it. Picking up on a student’s interest and intergrading the educational experience is essential. In other words if a student is interested in horses, the classroom should be moved to the barn. If math is the subject in questio

David K - Concord, VT 05824 (12.5 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My primary goal is to help the student understand the material so that it makes sense. My tutoring style involves asking lots of questions. The answers to these questions enable me to determine where the student's difficulties lie and how to address them. I don't believe that telling someone a fact or algorithm or the answer to a problem has much lasting value, so I attempt to lead the student to her or his own understanding by a series of carefully structured questions. This way the student actually learns the material and can be confident in solving whatever problems are presented, so their school work goes better. When I do my job well, I work myself out of a tutoring job! My scholastic work includes a PhD in Mathematics and a MS in Electrical Engineering. I have taught and done research in mathematics for over 30 years and have tutored students at the high school and college lev

James E - Barton, VT 05822 (13.8 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have eight years experience teaching Math at Lyndon State College in Vermont and at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio. I was also a writing tutor at The Writing Center at Lyndon State. In addition, I tutored students there in English,Math,and Economics for a program called Project Excel. I
also attended tutor training sessions as part of that job. Additionally, I tutored college students privately while earning my degree at The University of Rhode Island. As a full-time instructor at Lorain, I was required to schedule 10 office hours per week to be available to students, so I gained a lot more experience in the tutoring process during that time. I think that teachers need to be flexible, and be willing to adapt their teaching style to suit the needs of their students. This is especially true for tutors who are often involved in a one-on-one relationship with those the

Jessica H - East Ryegate, VT 05042 (20.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra 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.

Keven J - Lancaster, NH 03584 (22.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I currently teach at a small K-12 school where I taught business classes. My current course load includes Introduction to Career, Business Management, Business Math, Accounting, and Work-based Learning. I am also the director of the Stratford Alternative Education Program. This program allows me to help students complete courses such as Chemistry, Biology, and Algebra so they may receive a state diploma. Working in a K-12 environment has helped me gain a better understanding of the cognitive development and thought processes. I have enjoyed working with the students not only in the academic realm, but also behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. I believe all students have the ability to succeed. In my experience, the most important thing to remember is that all students learn differently, and sometimes what seems like an impossible task just needs to be presented differently for b

Dennis S - North Montpelier, VT 05666 (24.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $34.00/hr.
My best contribution has always been coupled with my crossover between practical, "real-world", skills and academics. I have always had a desire to share things that interested me with others, starting with Karate as a teen and continuing onward through more complex academic disciplines. I tutored Chemistry, Math, and Philosophy all through college. This has expanded to media and communication, practical business, and technology. I currently operate an experiential educational program targeted towards outdoor skills for search and rescue personnel, and community building enrichment. One of the most interesting aspects of teaching is how different people process information. Oft times it is difficult to find a teaching style or method that can be equally useful to people of different learning types. I have found that teaching methods common to experiential educators, common practice

Jennifer W - Newport Center, VT 05857 (26.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Accounting since that is what I enjoy the most about business. In the many years that I have been working since high school, I have always been a trainer for each company I have worked for. I have also been a Sunday School teacher for over 5 years. I have taught various grades and ages, from 3rd grade to 7th grade and am capable of adjusting my teaching style. I have tutored high school math students in the past, and am looking forward to being a tutor again. I enjoy teaching and helping others understand and learn. I believe that if the basics are understood first, then it will be easier to learn the more difficult material. I am patient, easy going, and adapt to each student's learning style. I will bring my real-world experience to showcase how the subject matter applies in an actual work place setti

Katie W - Barre, VT 05641 (30.1 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $51.50/hr.
Ever since I was in high school, I have always enjoyed working with children in a variety of situations. I helped out in a second grade classroom and enjoyed helping students understand their classwork. Even in college, I enjoyed helping my friends with math and writing. Last year, I taught a self-contained sixth grade classroom and this year, I taught a multi-age first and second grade classroom in the same school. My creativity allows me to come up with different teaching ideas depending on the child's needs. Differentiated instruction has helped me to reach the needs of all learners and positive reinforcement has helped to motivate students to want to do well. I believe that the social aspect of a child's life is just as important as the academics. Once these needs are met, children are more apt to reach their fullest potential.

Gregory P - Montpelier, VT 05602 (30.1 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $62.00/hr.
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 business to find and implement better methods of educating people on mathematics in a way that does not overwhelm them, but simultaneously makes their learning experience more useful. I studied teacher education as an undergraduate, and attended graduate school at Dartmouth where the program in mathematics has a specific focus on preparing one to teach mathematics. I look forward to continuing making progress on my goal of making mathematics more useful, and more accessible to more students. I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching
mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied education,
