Elizabeth B - Rutland, VT 05701 (10 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I fundamentally believe anyone can learn. If a student isn’t grasping a concept, it just means I have to change my style of teaching. So what is my teaching style…anything that helps a student achieve his or her potential. But the one thing I teach all my students is how to find their learning style. Once you know how you retain information you can do anything. How do I summarize teaching in my life? I guess the best way to explain my teaching experience is to tell you a story. As a young girl I wanted to be a teacher. Because of my love of learning I taught all my siblings how to read. I know it is pretty funny but it is a true story. That led to my doing teaching seminars, which led to consulting, which led to training, which led to my working with individuals as a life coach. I have been a CEO, Vice President, Consultant, Senior Broker, Artist, Photographer, Glass Blower, Jew

Kimberly C - Argyle, NY 12809 (21 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My teaching experience includes a wide variety of situations. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with children in grades kindergarten, one, two, three and four in a number of educational models, including multi-age groupings, departmentalized models and the traditional classroom. In addition to my work with younger students, I have tutored high school and college students, as well as adult learners in the areas of language and writing. My approach to teaching relies heavily on the use of modeling. Modeling is a powerful tool in the development of not only writing and language skills, but also in exposing my students to a framework which will allow them to hone their own thought processes and work habits. Incorporating a wide variety of vocabulary-building activities into daily lessons strengthens my students' understanding of the subject area and provides a fam

Susannah C - Springfield, VT 05156 (25.9 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I started out working as a Head Start teacher's assistant and the following year I was promoted to Head Start teacher and manager. I have also worked as a 1:1 instructional assistant with a high needs student. Currently I worked in a behavior school as an instructional assistant, and I have stepped in to plan curriculum and teach all the classes because the teacher has been on paid leave this year. I also have been commuting to college in Castleton State College from Springfield after work to complete my degree in education. I have been able to keep my GPA at a 3.8 which I believe demonstrates my ability to multitask effectively. I find working with children rewarding. I am patent and understanding and cater to individual learning styles. I use my artistic sense to help students visually understand learning. I believe the key to understanding and learning is to make learning fun and memo

Robyn C - Townshend, VT 05353 (28.4 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 in Mexico, Spain, Chad, Benin, Morocco and other countries. In most of those cases I was teaching English, but I also taught key aspects of health, sustainable development, lifelong skills and leadership. I taught classes ranging in size between 5 and 100.
I am an accomplished writer and enjoy tutoring in English composition, literature and grammar, as well as foreign language. I believe strongly in education and deem that it is a catalyst for growth, change and success, whether for an individual or a nation. 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 overse

Brandon C - Townshend, VT 05353 (28.6 mi) - Elementary Social Studies 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

Sherry K - Glen's Falls, NY 12801 (31.5 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I have taught many different students from all types of backgrounds, from gifted to learning disabled. The reason I have success with these students is because I make learning fun and relevant. I develop creative tools that are of interest to that particular student, while cultivating a great deal of empathy. This is based on getting to know the family the child is a member of. By understanding the lifestyle,demographics and cultural nuances, I can determine any problems that may deter from learning, and any strengths which can be built upon. My goal is to create an individual program that allows the learner to achieve their own personal best without the pressure of group age standards. My education at NYU and my Bachelor of Science degree, gave me a solid foundation because I had the knowledge and confidence upon which to build my teaching career.

Kayla S - Bolton Landing, NY 12814 (31.5 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I believe that every student has the ability to learn but through different approaches. Not every child learns the same way. I am very patient, easy going and considerate.

G Michael S - Claremont, NH 03743 (33.7 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I like to discover what my students already know about the topic and to expose any misconceptions. Brainstorming activities work well for me. I like to help define the topic in common terms, not the classic dictionary method. I use presentation, discussion, videos and hands on activities. Most of what I do is inquiry based. I have a passion for teaching but waited until I gained some "real world" experience. I found that this has helped me relate to my students since I am able to make meaningful connections to their learning.

Jennifer S - Gansevoort, NY 12831 (34.1 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $47.00/hr.
Working in the education field is a dream come true for me. I love every minute of it. I have a love of learning and I enjoy sharing that with others and helping my students turn into life-long learners. I understand that all students do not learn the same way and that one teaching approach is not going to work with everyone. I have had a lot of practice determining what techniques students need and finding the way to reach those students so that they can be as successful as possible. I am a very fun and energetic teacher. I am very creative and like to come up with hands-on activities to teach my students. I enjoy showing students that learning is fun. I find what motivates my students and incorporate that into my teaching. I have a BS in Elementary Education with a GPA of 3.86 and a MS in Special Education with a GPA of 3.93. I value education and I have had a lot of experienc

Jenifer P - Bennington, VT 05201 (35.6 mi) - Elementary Social Studies 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

Mary C - Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (38.5 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators.
I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance.
I have adopted many evidence-based practices with respect to effective teaching. I have strong organizational skills. I believe that in establishing consistent guidelines at the outset and stating the importance of every activity, I will demonstrate to my students respect for their presence and time. It is my objective that each student will learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment. I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing environment

Brian S - Wilton, NY 12831 (38.6 mi) - Elementary Social Studies Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I am cognizant of the many different learning styles of today's youth and endeavor to use each interactive opportunity to the fullest. Compassion and developing an understanding underlie my approach and I believe that students that know victory in any one arena can find it again in the academic world. I firmly believe that a path of service is a key to a greater self esteem, as I give of myself to help students reach their highest good, so often do we find it that students will pay it forward and teach what they most need to learn and learn that which they most need to teach. I love to teach and I aim to be the change I seek to see in the world. As mentor & teacher I have been a 2 year NYSPHAA student athlete,peer leader,Sr T.I.P.S educator,tutor, and most recently NYS Certified Public & Academic Librarian.
