peter w. - Groton, CT 06340 (25.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have worked with teenagers, young adults and older students returning to college. I work especially well with students who have a lack of confidence about their academic or intellectual abilities. May students have told me years after taking my courses that they would not have made it to graduation without my help. I also served as a drama director at one of my colleges and produced 4 highly successful full-length plays. Ten years after one of the productions the entire cast planned a surprise reunion for me at a local restaurant. I could ask for greater 'applause' for my teaching efforts.

Amanda C - Peconic, NY 11958 (2.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $50.50/hr.
I enjoy helping others to better understand a wide range of subjects. Every student has unlimited potential and I believe I can help them to reach it. I can patiently and effectively teach students of various ages and disabilities, while helping them to reach their academic goals. Every student learns in a unique way and my goal is to help a student to discover that way so that he or she may apply it to their future endeavors. A good teacher can make the biggest difference in a student's life and I want to make that difference. I have been a volunteering mentor with my collegiate honor's program for years in various elementary subjects with students with learning disabilities. I also worked in the university's computer lab in the work-study program for 3 years helping my professors and peers with their computer difficulties. I also tutored my fellow students in English, science, ma

Ulysses L - East Marion, NY 11939 (5.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $53.50/hr.
I specialized in poetry studying under one of the top T.S. Eliot scholars. As a literature major we studied a wide range of topics from early english to post colonial literature. This has given me a great appreciation of the english language. Having grown up abroad in Amsterdam and Switzerland has also made me enthusiastic about the barrier between conversational and written language. I am currently working part time as a ski instructor with children. This has taught me to be patient with the development of my students. It is incredibly important to maintain an atmosphere where learning is fun. I am certified by Oxford seminars to teach english as a second language. During the classes we studied general techniques for teaching english, that can be used for native speakers as well. I am a firm believer that there are all different types of learners, and thus teaching styles should adapt t

Erica W - Mattituck, NY 11952 (6.9 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities. Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited i

Kiley S - Southampton, NY 11968 (10.2 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I am a strong believer that children all learn differently. I consider myself a visual learner, but try to teach to cater all different learning styles. I believe children learn best when able to relate to the material in some way. I try my best to discover the individual child's learning style and personal interests early on and then adjust my approach accordingly. It is then that the student becomes confident in learning, which promotes success. I also believe that learning is very active on both the part of the teacher and students and that tutoring is a shared experience. My background enables me to first develop a relationship with the child, show them support, and then dive into the academics together. I have worked with children all of my life. I earned a bachelors degree from Skidmore College in 2008 with a major in Social Work and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I

Brandi T - Flanders, NY 11901 (13.4 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $49.00/hr.
I take a fairly direct approach with my students, learning about their skill level as well as the subject matter they are involved with. I try to learn what approaches have or have not worked in the past and how I can adapt those methods to one that will allow that child to succeed. I believe that hard work deserves rewards such as verbal praise and "high-fives." All of my students will receive my utmost energy and attention. While attending Paul Smith's College I worked in the Center for Accomodative Services where I helped students in both Chemistry and French classes we were attending. I have also worked with Elementary and Middle School students as a 1:1 Teacher's Aide. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Literature with a minor in Writing. I am conversant in all modes of writing, from basic English and Grammar to the construction of collegiate level essays and papers. I am most familiar w

Edyta W - Riverhead, NY 11901 (14.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $55.00/hr.
Teaching children has been a rewarding experience for me for a long time. I truly believe that every child is capable of learning with a little bit of patience and understanding. Children, as well as teenagers, need someone who can help them believe in themselves and their abilities. No matter the subject, I strive to fully bring out my students' potential and help them succeed. I graduated from Stony Brook University and have a bachelor's degree in health science with a concentration in medical informatics. I have an extensive education in biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also well learned in english, math, and computer programs (such as Microsoft word, excel, and power point). I am fluent in both Polish and English. I have also taken Spanish for six years during which I took Spanish 3 in 11th grade for half a year, had gotten a 99 on the NYS Spanish regents exam then continued

Kelly G - madison, CT 06443 (14.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life. I have taught gifted and special needs students and find both to be exciting and satisfying. I raise to the challenges set for me and work diligently to achieve the best results in a students work. I am energetic yet very patient. I have been a one-on -one paraprofessional at the elementary school level, teaching all subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for eight years in prek-eight grade taching all subjects. I enjoy teaching all ages.
I have found the most satisfying experience in helping a student reach his/her potential and see their self-esteem grow immensely as their academic achievements grew. Every student is unique and deserves to have the best education possible. This sometimes means teaching differently

nancy b - Baiting Hollow, NY 11933 (17.2 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $44.50/hr.
As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed. It is often a challenge to ensure that the classroom climate and curriculum is supportive and responsive to all students. No matter what the subject, students should be provided with an academically challenging curriculum that includes attention to the development of higher level cognitive skills. I encourage students to share attitudes, concerns and aspirations. If students have their own views challenged, it encourages the critical thinking and reflective judgment that will serve them well throughout life. I am a professional with 16 years experience managing the accounting records and training staff of both small and large companies. I completed my BBA in Accounting while working full time and

Allison S - Manorville, NY 11949 (21 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $53.00/hr.
I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning. Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grade and

As a high school student, I was involved in inner city teaching and I helped hartford students in their studies after their school. I appreciate higher education and I truly understand what it takes to teach as I myself teach my own children with their homework from their own schools after they come home. I earned the Barbara Allen Woods Award for German Excellence at the University of Rhode Island. I taught school for four (4) years to ages kindergarten - seventh grade.

Every child can learn is my philosophy. I love teaching and learning from my students. Together we bring a wealth of knowledge to the table and build from it. I am patient, understanding and considerate. I believe in differentiated instruction focusing on all apsects of learning styles best suited for the individual student. There are two main avenues I emphasize in the classroom: Literacy and Writing. With over 7 years teaching experience, I am well versed in preparing students for the NYS ELA, English Regents, AP English Examinations and Verbal SAT along with college entrance applications. Furthermore, my teaching experience and knowledge has increased student growth for NYS High School and College Placement. Finally, I am a committee member of the RTI: Response to Intervention.

Alexandra H - Rocky Point, NY 11778 (24.1 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $51.00/hr.
I believe that the best teachers combine an extensive knowledge of their subject matter with a love of guiding others towards their own discoveries. I think that having patience, and open mind, and a love of learning are qualities that every teacher should possess. In high school, the experiences I had with tutors ended up making the difference between passing and failing in subjects such as math and chemistry, two subjects I was convinced I couldn't succeed in. I love to provide that service to others!I consider it my job as a teacher to guide students in how to be critical thinkers, look at the world objectively, ask questions, and learn how to process their experiences. During my studies at Stony Brook University, I was able to gain some experience teaching peers as an undergraduate teaching assistant. I studied literature and achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Art History and Cr
