Belief in the capability of every writer and reader.

Because of the unique style of education I have received, my idea of a great teacher is one who functions more as a mentor, working with the student through socratic dialogue and experiential exersizes. A tutor should not only help the student to progress academically in the subject area of focus, but to ignite the students passion for the subject so they will thrive independently after the sessions are over. A combination of activities geared specifically toward meeting academic goals, working through past educational blocks to develop problem-solving strategies for the student, and an ongoing exposure to culturally relevant/current happenings in the field of writing, will provide a multilayered and well rounded immersion into writing and poetics. Resect for the student and a belief in the capability of all learners are what truly set my educational practices apart.

Certified Teacher, Elementary Tutor!

My name is Bridget and I am from Cape Cod. I have degrees in both elementary and special education. I am currently a third grade teacher on Cape Cod. I love what I do! I look forward to meeting each individual child's needs, in order to help them achieve their goals and feel successful! I believe children learn in a variety of ways, and mixing up my teaching style is fun for both me and my students. I am always excited to have the opportunity to work one on one with a student!

I recently graduated with my Masters in Secondary English Education from Rivier University. I taught literacy to adults with special needs for two years, and I've been working as a substitute teacher at a high school since January. With an undergraduate and graduate background in English, I have developed a proficient grasp of the English language. I am an avid reader and writer, and I love to help others discover that they can become strong readers and writers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently obtained my Masters in Secondary English Education. I currently substitute teach at the high school level, and have taught literacy to adults with developmental disabilities. I've written for newspapers and magazines, and enjoy writing fiction and reading in my spare time. I am looking to tutor this summer two to three days per week.
I'm patient, soft-spoken and fair, but enjoy pushing my students to challenge themselves.

More About This Tutor...

I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able to draw on my extensive work and “real-world” experience, which students seem to appreciate. I have an informal manner, yet I expect much of my students. I expect them to do the work required and to have good attendance at the teaching sessions. I teach best through “hands-on” methods, allowing students to learn by doing.
I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other v ... read more

Read More About Joseph D...

I have a Bachelor of Art in History, predominantly American. I also pursued Engineering for my first year and plan to go back to College. I have completed through Calculus II and am also experienced in hands-on mechanical. I have limited tutoring experience, but I know I can listen and respond. Any experience came from helping others in classes during College.
I'm patient and listen to the student to see what they get and don't get about the premise of the lesson. Then we get to it. Careful reinforcement of the Correct method will ensure Remembrance and Results. Also, Lessons must be approached within the context of the Big Picture. Students need to realize that there are no pointless or forgettable sections. Basically, communication is key followed by practice, reinforcement, more practice. Learning can be at pace, but laziness and whining will not be tolerated.
