Marc B. - Brandywine, MD 20613 (31.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspi

Keiona C - Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 (37.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and cultures. I adopt a hands on approach to learning and have extreme patience for slower learners. My main goal during teaching is to help one have a better understanding of the subject by relating to the material. To reach this goal it is imperative that I am resourceful enough to provide my students with vital and accurate information. During high school I interned in a first grade classroom for one year in which I planmed/taught lessons. I also have young siblings and family members which I help with assignments on a daily basis. In college, I tutored students taking various Psychology courses. I enjoy conducting research, reading scientific articles, analyzing and interpreting data.

Sherrell T - Oxon Hill, MD 20745 (43.6 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized tests and helped the students that I have tutored in the past and currently tutor advance in the subjects of Math (Algebra, Geometry and Basic Mathematics) Science, Social Studies and English from failing to grades that show proficiency. I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique

Candace A - Federalbsurg, MD 21632 (46.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I believe students, regardless of their individual learning style, can be successful in their academic pursuits. My approach to teaching focuses upon the individual student and his/her needs. Education is the key to opportunity and advancement. I pride myself on helping students recognize the importance of reading and writing as a means of their own advancement and the platform to achieve their academic and professional goals, whatever they may be. I am a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University, earning a BA in Public Health Studies. During my time at Johns Hopkins I interned in clinical research at the School of Medicine, where I served as research coordinator for a study in adolescent women's health within the department of pediatrics. My academic pursuits and experience in clinical research required solid writing skills and the ability to compose academic research papers, laborato
