Ashley F. - West Boylston, MA 01583 (43.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the

Brandon C - Townshend, VT 05353 (15.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I served as a tutor, primarily for English, History, and writing, for three years while attending Southern Vermont College. Following graduation, I worked for three years as a paraprofessional for Leland & Gray Union High School. While working in this capacity there were several one on one situations similar to the relationship that exists between tutors and their students. In addition to the aforementioned subjects I tutored while in college, I also assisted students in other areas such as basic math and general science. I primarily use the Socratic Method (question and answer) as my teaching style. I believe that asking students the right questions helps them to learn the information. Also, in certain instances I believe it helps the learning process if the subject matter can be related to an area of interest. I believe this can be a key component in a student's understanding of a subj

Robyn C - Townshend, VT 05353 (16.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning.
I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress.
My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world. I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and adults

Kristen M - Gardner, MA 01440 (27.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $59.50/hr.
I enjoy working with students of all ages and I am looking forward to a life long career as an educator. With two years experience, I believe I am building a strong foundation to help students succeed in education. I am a dedicated worker who is independent, helpful and patient with children of all ages and learning styles. My experience in Special Education has taught me that all students learn differently and at their own pace and this has made me a more patient and caring educator. I am a dedicated worker who loves helping students learn and grow. During the 2009-2010 school year, I worked as a long term substitute teacher in a reading class. In this class, I taught students with low level reading skills the basic skills needed to become advanced readers. Responsibilities included making individual lesson plans for twelve students, quizzing students on current spelling words and test

Michelle S - Fitchburg, MA 01420 (33.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $47.50/hr.
My tutoring experience consists of friends over the years, however it has always been something I was very good at. I decided to make a career change after working at Fidelity Investments for five years now to something I have a passion for, teaching children. I passed the MTEL exams and am working towards my license. I'm very excited to begin this journey and would be extremely appreciative for an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience. I believe my MBA in Business, BA in Management, minor in Leadership as well as my HR Cert has provided me with the level of education needed to tutor. Every subject I can tutor: Economics, Finance, Math and English, I received honors in College for as well as completed MBA coursework in the subjects. I am a very well organized person who can multitask and prioritize extremely well, however to me this important but yet secondary aspect of t

Jillien G - Manchester Center, VT 05255 (35.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $53.00/hr.
As a graduate of Bard College, where I earned a degree in English literature, I have acquired an excellent background in the discipline of writing and composition. I have built upon this experience by earning two Master's degrees, one in Special Education and the other in Library Science. I enjoy and excel in the field of research as evidenced by my career choices, for example, Lead Librarian for an IBM Research project and School Media Specialist at two high schools in Fairfield County Connecticut. I have tutored students in English throughout my tenure as a media specialist.

Kathryn B - Milford, NH 03055 (35.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I believe every student deserves a quality education and every student has gifts and can be challenged to succeed with those gifts. A teacher can positively impact each child with thoughtful dedication, perseverance, creativity and hard work.
My goal is to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can encourage such traits in the students as well.
I provide my students the following: explicit instruction, creating an encouraging and friendly classroom climate, offering a variety of reading materials.
Discerning and teaching curriculum that resonates with my students and helps them to learn the building blocks for their successful academic future is my goal. “Excellence Award” from Educational Testing Service for Elementary Education (K-8): Content Knowledge for exceptional score in top 15%.

Christine C - Northampton, MA 01060 (35.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Throughout my life, I have always had an ability to talk with and to listen to adolescents. Regardless of a student’s academic aptitude, socio-economic status, or learning differences, I honestly believe that each student has the ability and the right to learn about the world around them and to be helped by adults in their life-path and individual growth. As a teacher planning lessons, I deliberately infuse the learning with opportunities for student choice, intellectual growth, and explorations into interconnected themes, ideas, and questions. I know that all students can be highly successful, if provided the opportunity to interact with engaged and thoughtful teachers. As a person who truly values learning, I have continuously engaged in being both a student and a teacher in academically rigorous studies.

Kelly M - Townsend, MA 01469 (36.7 mi) - Literature Tutor - $42.50/hr.
As an early childhood teacher, I have had several opportunities to help children (school age), to do homework. I also was a tutor in high school to a boy for just Algebra, which then turned around to being all of his subjects and helping him keep on track. The hardest thing for me was that he had only lived in the U.S. for four years, and had trouble speaking English. After each session of tutoring, I would grab the Scrabble board, which encouraged him to use more words, learn new words, and have fun while doing so. I like to get to the point of certain problems, such as reading the child/student when I see them, ask them some questions about the subjects they need help in and why they need help. I have worked with Infants-School age for over 5 years, and enjoy being there to help someone in need. I believe in giving back, because so many of us are blessed already.

David P - Leominster, MA 01453 (36.7 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By reaching out to the student and engaging with them as an individual, I am able to help them develop and understanding of the content which works best for them. If my student can walk away knowing not just more about their subject, but more about how they function as a learner, then I've done my job. As a 2008 graduation of Westfield State College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education I have enjoyed being a high school English teacher for two years. My training prior to my career involves experience

Tiffany M - Bennington, VT 05201 (37 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.00/hr.
As A recent graduate from a Liberal Arts School, I found it easy to connect with teaching as my calling. I have always driven for high levels of excellence in and outside the classroom and work force. Having an English and Philosphy background, I find it easy to critically think and annotate extensively works of literature. And from that I find that my skills are up to par due to writing research papers and annotating other people's work. My experiance as a student teacher at a private school in rural VT, allowed me to expand the pupils' minds to outside their comfort zone in order to learn about the world we live and the connection it has to literature. Teaching is not for everyone, but I knew it was for me when I started student teaching and felt the adrenaline rush of 25 eyes staring up at me for guidance. I feel the need to spread as much knowledge as possible to the up and coming ge
