Carrie M - Warfordsburg, PA 17267 (10.8 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, very easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best understanding and education possible for your child. I believe there are different ways in which a student will learn and I am a huge believer in the constructivist approach to learning. I strive to make a difference in all my students' lives and to create a better future and understanding for them. As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed this

travis d - Hagerstown, MD 21742 (15.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Not every method works for every child; with one exception, patience. I demonstrate and exemplify patience. If a child feels as though they are in an atmosphere where they are safe, free of ridicule and bias, then they are willing to perform. This process can be a give take scenario however. So, some flexibility is required as well, but eventually the student will become more comfortable with themselves and confident in what they are capable of. With all of my experience and education, I have had the opportunity to work with all facets of children; from those who require a great deal of help, to those who might just need a little more challenge then what their work was providing them. Having worked with large and diverse groups of children I have assisted in English, math, science, and social studies from grade school to high school.
I am very dedicated and passionate about what I do;

I have greatly enjoyed my past few years of tutoring. I love being able to give other students the tools and the self-confidence they need in order to succeed. I am a very patient person and dedicate a lot of time into helping students understand the process of learning and studying in a way that will seem less stressful and easier for them to accomplish.

I believe that encouragement and guidance can go a long way. I am currently attending West Virginia University to attain my Masters Degree in Human Nutrition.

I love teaching and working with others. I follow the motto that "practice makes perfect", and enjoy running through various exercises in order to make sure that the concept is learned.

Kelly M - Fairfield, PA 17320 (26.8 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way. Tutoring should be a joint process of discovering a student's learning style and tailoring information so that the student is able to learn and thrive. In my opinion, teaching should focus on the individual strengths of the learner and not just their challenges. The student should learn to use their strengths to not only overcome their challenges, but also to fall in love with learning and gain self confidence. As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper writi

Eliza J - Fairfield, PA 17320 (31 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I believe that learning through hands-on experience is the best way to fully comprehend material. I want to interest students in academics. To accomplish this, a teacher must show how math, or reading is useful; how anything can be exciting. I want to make learning fun. And I use a variety of tactics to accomplish this. I recently graduated from Bard College, a selective liberal arts school in New York. I have taken classes in a variety of subjects including biology, french, history, and writing. I recently completed a 90 page thesis. I have excellent critical thinking and writing skills, which have served me well as a student. As a tutor, I strive to engage my students in thinking complexly about the topic at hand. I have experience tutoring middle school aged children in music, math, and writing. I also have experience working with preschool aged children.

Codi W - Bedford, PA 15522 (31.5 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I love helping children. I believe that each and every child should have a chance in this world. I'm also a firm believer that not every child learns the same. I am here whenever a child may need the help and will sit with them until the given task is understood. I have earned a bachelor degree, BA in Communication/Journalism, which fuels my passion for reading. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and articles. In understand the power of reading and what it holds to the child. When I was in high school, I was a regular tutor to children at the middle and elementary schools who needed help with their homework.

Abigail M - Roaring Spring, PA 16673 (34.2 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a recent graduate, I have the unique skill of relating to students on their own level. I love listening to their needs and assessing the situation with great care and concern. There are different learning techniques and all students are different. Once I learn the proper needs of the student, I will be very successful in helping them reach their goals. Everyone has the potentional for greatness, one just needs the right person to inspire. As a graduate of a sound Liberal Arts College, I've learned that the greatest asset I took away with me was the art of communication. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus in Creative Writing and Spanish. I have written essays upon essays, from creative short-stories to my fifty-page senior thesis, and would love to continue working in a position which allows me to use my hard-earned tools.

Ingrid P - frederick, MD 21702 (34.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I enjoy working with younger generations.
I believe stimulating intelligence and creativity in younger people sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Following instructions and completing homework certainly is a priority, as that prepares for adulthood. Going beyond that creates a desire for knowledge, and instigates entrepreneurship at a younger stage by developing desire for leadership and hunger for success.
I often tutor my granddaughter and together after completing her school assignment we explore ways to learn more then required. I am a 60 year old Financial Manager, Creative Writer, Sales Executive with many years of Professional experience in several careers.

Andrea L - Frederick, MD 21703 (36.8 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
My teaching style is simple. I start with the basics, then build on that each time I meet with the student. In addition, it is critical that the tutor is doing age-appropriate practice exercises with the student. In addition, there has to be a lot of variety. Students do get bored. I don't like to constantly use a worksheet. I would prefer to enhance the lesson with some hands-on activities, or games. It really makes a difference, especially with the younger students.
I also believe in review, review, review. I don't want to move on unless I feel confident that the student has mastered the concept. I began tutoring for a company called ClubZ back in January of 2008. This was a Title I program in Frederick County, and only a Title I school could participate. I had three students; a student in kindergarten needing reading assistance; a student in third grade needing math assis

Kirk L - Marana, AZ 85138 (37 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $42.50/hr.
When I was in the classroom I prided myself in "getting the educational job" done while at the same time having some fun. I have always had a strong rapport with students and believe I am adept at transferring my knowledge and educational talents. I consider myself to be a strong motivator without being overbearing. I started my college education at Stanford University but finished up Cal State Stanislaus University with a degree in physical education and biology. I then taught primarily language arts and science at the middle school level for three years. After satisfying my educational wanderlust, I am now re-entering the educational field. I consider myself to be an extremely strong teacher, particularly in the language arts field.

Johnny John B - Frederick, MD 21701 (40 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the ABC Network. I love tutoring all ages, and find that adults, while a bit harder to reach in the beginning are usually the most enjoyable to work with. I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into its sep

Jacquelyn M - Carlisle, PA 17013 (43.2 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $40.00/hr.
First, in order for the students to best understand the material, I break it down to their level. For subjects like math, it is simple to develop a step by step method for the students to write down and follow. Once the students have mastered the steps they are motivated to continue with the material because it seems straightforward. It is also important to have the students connect to the material; if they understand how the information is used in every day life then they will become more excited and motivated to learn. Once the students have a firm understanding of the information, they are assigned independent problems. These problems will help the students begin to think on their own and in turn own the material. In college, I tutored grammar school, high school and college students in various math and science courses. Subjects included algebra, calculus, chemistry, and physics
