Hilary W. - Ludlow, VT 05149 (38.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $55.00/hr.
Along with being an English and Special Education teacher and teacher for gifted and talented students, I was a writer for The New York Times for six years, specializing in feature and human interest articles on individuals in the arts. My teaching style is based on student-centered, social-emotional learning, where my core values are focused around differentiated, individualized instruction based on the learning profiles and interests of my students. NO two students learn the same and it is extremely important for me as an educator to meet the student "where they are," and utilize techniques and strategies that motivate learners to be invested participants in this partnership. Ever since I was in Honors English in high school back in the seventies (yes, I am a "well seasoned" teacher versus "an old teacher"), I knew that I wanted to dedicate my college years to taking every writing and

sarmad m. - Worcester, MA 01603 (45 mi) - Composition Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I'm 21 years old, and I have worked as a tutor for 3 years. I can teach english even for students who don't speak my language. I'm from Iraq and I have studied in the American university of Iraq. The university is in a Kurdih region, Kurdistan of Iraq, so I had to work with many students who don't speak Arabic. I found out that it's better to teach a language without using your native language.

Mark M - Brattleboro, VT 05301 (4.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Some people learn by talking, some tactically by doing, some visually by example. It depends on the student, or I devise a presentation that involves all three ways of presenting the information. I believe that learning and understanding the value of what is being learned is as important as the content. I am a doer who has shared his knowledge and experience in a variety of ways. When I worked as a photographer and filmmaker, I taught those subjects at many different institutions, from an after-school program for elementary school kids to NYU Graduate School. For many years now, I have worked as a science writer and editor. I mentor many newly minted Chinese scientists and engineers who work for IBM in Beijing, teaching them both English grammar and the proper form and style for peer-reviewed scientific papers they are writing. I developed and taught courses in Communications and Technic

Brandon C - Townshend, VT 05353 (18.3 mi) - Composition 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 (18.4 mi) - Composition 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 (27.5 mi) - Composition 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

Tiffany M - Bennington, VT 05201 (32.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.00/hr.
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 generations.I always feel rewarded when the day ends because I was able to help students get a better grasp on life. I also believe that the student is the teacher as well. Through my experiance, a student can teach an instructor just as much as the instructor can teach them. I am very laid back yet can still hold the fine line of being direct and rigorous at the same time. I am excited to teach anyone and everyone. It is with out question that my education will still continue as I apply to graduate school. 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 excelle

My undergraduate degree as an English major has enabled me to excell at writing research papers during my medical science career, as well as help my students with research projects and papers.

Jenifer P - Bennington, VT 05201 (33.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I believe that all children are capable of learning, but many experience barriers that inhibit the learning process. My strategy is to identify these barriers, remove them whenever possible, or otherwise embrace them and work within the circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome. My background in counseling and psychology has proven invaluable in the classroom and in collaborating with parents and educators. I am looking into the process of becoming a certified teacher, and will strive to make a difference in your child's life, helping them become more successful and enthusiastic learners. I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-12 since 2001 and worked as a tutor for Siena's Higher Education Opportunity Program. As an educational consultant for 3 years, I coordinated college fairs, campus visits, and taught workshops on Writing the College Application Essay. I won sever
