Fun yet educational. Statement of Teaching Philosophy for Teaching Writing
I think that teaching writing should be both fun and educational. If you do not have the fun aspect in it you can lose students and not reach others. I believe it is important to be a positive model for my students. I want my students to know that what they write can be perfected and publishable. I want them to know that they never have to feel as if they are not good enough even if they do not know exactly how to get the words they want to say out. All it takes is practice. Even using a voice recorder to record your thoughts and getting feedback on those thoughts can make writing the best it can be.
I, personally, have never taught a class. I was, however, a Teacher’s Aide at a school for special needs kids. I have also worked at a daycare where I was in charge of writing lesson plans every week. In both j

John S. - Johnstown, PA 15902 (22.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $22.00/hr.
I began studying french in the 9th grade, became President of my high school's French Club my senior year, and then attended the University of PIttsburgh at Johnstown Majoring in Creative Writing while working on my French certification. I have 40 credits and a 3.0 but am no longer able to afford classes there. I like to cover the basics right off the bat, even if they may be familiar with them and then focus on whichever areas are most troubling for the student.

Deanna B - Patton, PA 16668 (2.4 mi) - Writing Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I love working with children of all ages and abilities and helping them with academics. I don't believe I have a specific teaching style. I know that I have to be flexible and creative with each student. Everyone learns differently, and I feel it is my obligation to find what works for each child. I do belive in providing hands on and real life scenarios when teaching. I have been very successful in academics throughout my education. I was valedictorian of my high school, and I received the top honors in English, French, and Accounting. I also maintained a 4.0 average throughout my college education.

Jeannette P - Carrolltown, PA 15722 (3.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have been employed by the Cambria Heights School District for 14 years as a Title 1 educator. I currently am involved in curriculum math and reading. My job mainly deals with helping students achieve success by developing learning skills that fit the individual needs of specific students and adapting regular classroom instruction to fit those needs. Most lessons can be taught in various styles but teachers are often faced with a curriculum guideline that they must follow. Often they do not have time to reteach the lesson and students begin to fall behind. With encouragement, guidance, and a new approach, many students can not only "catch up" but also stay succesful in that class.

Jennifer C - Gallitzin, PA 16641 (12.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a teacher, my goal is to touch and help the future. I am very creative and pride myself on thinking outside of the box, in order to instruct my students in a non-typical style if necessary. I enjoy making the classroom and learning fun, because it is easier to learn and stay on task. I truly see the potential in every student and work diligently so they too can see and capture their cown potential. As a special education teacher, I have experience in a variety of settings such as alternative education, partial hospitalization programs, and autistic support programs. I currently teach high school autistic support students in a classroom based program. I have tutored for a private facility as well as through a school district after school program.

Brittney B - Cresson, PA 16630 (13.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $31.50/hr.
As a Penn State graduate, I was motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in my teaching career. I maintained my standing on the Dean's List all eight semesters of my college career and received numerous scholarships and awards. I was chosen as one of the 56 Penn State Elementary Education majors to participate in the Professional Development School (PDS), a year long, full-time student teaching internship in collaboration with the State College Area School District. During my internship, I acquired a deep knowledge of incorporating technology into the classroom, as well as differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. I have worked as a camp counselor and maintained part-time jobs during college. As an educator, my main objective is to create a positive learning environment where my students are eager to explore, take risks, share ideas, and acquire knowledge. I

Sarah R - Altoona, PA 16602 (17.3 mi) - Writing Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed tutoring children; in high school, I actively participated in a youth tutoring program, but I also feel very comfortable tutoring older students and adults. My goal is to provide any knowledge and experience I can to help a student reach his or her highest academic potential, and through patient instruction and self-discovery, I hope to make a difference in the educational lives of my students. As a recent graduate of a private liberal arts institution with a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies and a concentration in pre-medical courses, I have a diverse and extensive understanding in several areas of study, both in the humanities and the sciences. Having completed a senior thesis as well as various essays in all disciplines, I feel that I have a commanding grasp of the English language and superior writing skills, and the proper knowledge needed to tutor in

I was raised in Latin America through age 18, and learned Spanish beginning at infancy. I maintained my native-level fluency into my professional life as a career federal law enforcement officer, during which I was assigned to posts in Latin America for a total of 15 years as a representative of the U.S. Government. Amongst my duties was the training and mentoring of foreign police officers.
I have additionally interpreted for high level public officials to include 2 Presidents of Costa Rica and U.S. cabinet members Janet Reno and Barry McCaffrey. Following my retirement from federal service in 2008 I have been employed as a contract Spanish Linguist for both the U.S. Government and Geneva Worldwide Translations, NY, NY.

anthony v - Indiana, PA 15701 (24.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Hands on, Practice based, through step by step instruction. Visual learning whenever applicable. Geometry, algebra, physics, and some calculus are in my range of teaching. I am very patient as long as the student is trying to learn and cares about the work. Mental support of students is half the battle. I am comfortable tutoring lower level math classes, mechanical design, or other engineering classes. Writing classes such as English, literature, or fine arts are fine as well. I have a BS in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering from MIZZOU. I am very proficient in technical editing, critiquing papers and writing technical papers.

Emily V - Johnstown, PA 15902 (24.9 mi) - Writing Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have experience teaching many types of students. I worked one-on-one, daily, with an autistic student during my last position, so I understand that not every student learns in the same way. I think it works well to give shorter lessons to a small group, and then work individually with the students. I like to encourage them to help one another if they feel confident in the subject. I pay great attention to verifying that each student is following the lesson. My main teaching style is "I do, you do," meaning I show them how to do a problem, or spell a word, and then they show me how. I like to work with the parent and child on any goals they have for the year, while updating the parent and child on progress, problems, and behavior. I have been working with preschool to high school age students since 2004. I have always had tutoring positions, whether it was for my peers in college, volun

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.

Codi W - Bedford, PA 15522 (33.7 mi) - Writing 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.
