Micaela Q. - Burlington, VT 05401 (33.8 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $20.00/hr.
My teaching method includes:
• lessons tailored to individual ability and temperament, drawing on a personal library of resources
• games to promote memorization
• laptop presentations to assist in learning grammar, vocabulary, places and dates, and to promote interaction
• approachable style and friendly disposition
• fun activities which incorporate daily life, like cooking, planning (fictional) travel, watching Youtube clips, and discussing current books, movies and television Many factors have combined in today’s society to make it difficult for some people to thrive in our traditional school systems. Increasing class sizes, parents’ or students' busy work schedules and technological distractions have created an environment in which students can easily fall behind. I am a qualified, dedicated personal tutor which can assist in achieving good academic standing, lessening frus

Gregory P - Montpelier, VT 05602 (1 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $62.00/hr.
I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching
mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied education,
and acquired a secondary education license while pursuing a rigorous mathematics curriculum. At Dartmouth
I have devoted myself to helping my students learn the power and utility of mathematics. I strive to help
students learn how mathematics is a relevant, useful and even enjoyable part of their lives as they become
contributing members of society. I take pride in developing strong relationships with my students, and I
am strongly opposed to the “myth of ability” in mathematics. 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 busine

Dianna T - Montpelier, VT 05602 (1.5 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My strengths are in identifying a students weaknessess and giving them the tools needed to succeed. I provide the best that I have to give and know that the student will respond with his or her best as well. My goal is to achieve a level of motavation so that the student will be proud of his/her achievements in reading and math. I believe that each student learns at a different pace and I have the tools necessary as their tutor to help them achieve their stated goals. I feel it is a privilage to teach and to learn myself from the students! As a graduate of The Kings College the professors taught me the value of working with children on an individual basis. They taught me that there are many different learning styles a student may have. This is what got me interested in the Title 1 Program. As a tutor in this program my focus was Reading and Math at the elementary level. My job was to hel

Stephanie W - Montpelier, VT 05602 (2.5 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have a knack for creating analogies and mechanisms to help students remember things for exams, as well as strategies and ways of thinking that may be a little different than what was taught in class (but still gets them to the final result). I really want to help kids succeed in school and be in charge of their learning even after I am no longer their tutor. I like to inspire them to learn. As an undergraduate at MIT, I have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, and have complete master of those taught at the high school level. I have also completed several advanced courses in chemistry, biology, and physics, but am still young enough to remember the techniques I used to learn those subjects when I myself was a high school student. I have prepared many students (privately) for final exams in biology, geometry, and algebra.

Sherian V - Middlesex, VT 05602 (4.3 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I am very relaxed around children, and I try to create a patient and encouraging learning environment. I will often answer a question with a question in order to teach students to approach subjects with inquisitiveness and reason. When this approach is not appropriate to the question being asked, I encourage logical thinking, taking the question and its answer step-by-step to their rational conclusion. Additionally, because my love of literature is supported by my interest in history, I try to present ideas across disciplines whenever possible to give a more complete picture. In this way, I strive to empower students to think clearly, organize their ideas rationally, and express themselves effectively. I have a BA in English with a minor in history and have worked as a freelance copywriter and indexer. As the mother of both a teenage son and a daughter, an occasional substitute teac

Katie W - Barre, VT 05641 (6.5 mi) - Grammar 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.

I love to work with children and helping them learn and explore is a passion of mine. Seeing that lightbulb click on for a child and the excitement they get from discovery and understanding is a thrilling experience everyone should share. As an outdoor education instructor and program administrator I have been working and teaching children of all ages for the past 8 years. My bachelors degree is in History, but in addition to my formal education I have plenty of life experience as a coach and mentor to children of varying ages.

Mary C - Richmond, VT 05477 (20.6 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I began my professional career in land surveying. After the birth of my two sons I revised my goals toward an educational experience at the elementary level. I completed my practicum in Elementary Education and performed a year of substitute teaching in both the elementary and middle school levels. Since that time I went on to complete a secondary degree in mathematics with a certification in secondary level education. I have been teaching at the elementary school, middle school, and high school levels for a private high school for students with learning differences for the past eleven years. I prefer to have a working relationship with my students that is based on mutual respect and understanding. Beyond this I employ more than one type of teaching in order to reach a variety of student learning styles. For example, if the student requires alternate learning opportunities such re

Jessica H - East Ryegate, VT 05042 (24.8 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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. 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.

Gilbert M - Cambridge, NY 02138 (26.3 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I think Math is the most beautiful subject and the highest form of human expression. A lot of times people are turned away from it due to a high school math experience that they perceive as dry and boring. When I tell people I love math, I too often hear "well, better you than me!" I think part of the high school math experience should include turning students on to mathematical discovery. Confronting confusion and working through to develop an understanding that feels personal and thorough. I believe that everyone must learn in an individual way at their own pace and I am prepared to put in the necessary effort to give my students that opportunity. Sure, there is certain material that just needs to be learned, but even what seems dry can be presented in such a way as to generate enthusiasm and interest in the subject. I think inspiration and excitement about mathematics is the mo

John P - Williston, VT 05495 (27.2 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My experience as a tutor is somewhat limited, but I was involved as an ESL tutor for a short time during college. I've had more experience training my coworkers or employees to better understand their jobs or to improve their job skills, but I feel that the experience would be relevant to a tutoring job. I have had years of sales and customer service experience, which has consisted of spending a vast amount of time educating people on products and services. I enjoy working with both children and adults. I would say that my teaching style involves having an inexhaustible supply of patience which allows me to identify a student's strengths and build on them. It also allows me to identify areas where assistance is required and encouraging growth in these areas. I am also very easygoing and I have a good sense of humor which helps at times to put people at ease.

Susan L - Bradford, VT 05033 (27.4 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Due to my background and experience in behavorial science, my warm personality and sense of humor, students quickly learn to trust me; thus the learning begins. My analytical insights and assessments of each student's learning style including their strengths and weaknesses, guides my teaching approach. While each student is held accounable for their best efforts, I create a supportive learning environment, emphasizing their achievements. As I guide the student through newly acquired skills and knowledge, they also develop responsibility for their own learning. My career in education includes a wide range of experience. I began as a substitute teacher covering for classroom teachers ranging from preschool to the 12th grade. My innate teaching abilities became evident and I was highly sought after. Returning to college to earn my teaching certification, I gained experience in special
