John S. - Johnstown, PA 15902 (41.7 mi) - Writing Tutor - $22.00/hr.
I like to cover the basics right off the bat, even if they may be familiar with them and then focus on whichever areas are most troubling for the student. I began studying french in the 9th grade, became President of my high school's French Club my senior year, and then attended the University of PIttsburgh at Johnstown Majoring in Creative Writing while working on my French certification. I have 40 credits and a 3.0 but am no longer able to afford classes there.

Sarah R - Altoona, PA 16602 (18.7 mi) - Writing Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed tutoring children; in high school, I actively participated in a youth tutoring program, but I also feel very comfortable tutoring older students and adults. My goal is to provide any knowledge and experience I can to help a student reach his or her highest academic potential, and through patient instruction and self-discovery, I hope to make a difference in the educational lives of my students. As a recent graduate of a private liberal arts institution with a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies and a concentration in pre-medical courses, I have a diverse and extensive understanding in several areas of study, both in the humanities and the sciences. Having completed a senior thesis as well as various essays in all disciplines, I feel that I have a commanding grasp of the English language and superior writing skills, and the proper knowledge needed to tutor in

Jennifer C - Gallitzin, PA 16641 (23.5 mi) - Writing Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a special education teacher, I have experience in a variety of settings such as alternative education, partial hospitalization programs, and autistic support programs. I currently teach high school autistic support students in a classroom based program. I have tutored for a private facility as well as through a school district after school program. As a teacher, my goal is to touch and help the future. I am very creative and pride myself on thinking outside of the box, in order to instruct my students in a non-typical style if necessary. I enjoy making the classroom and learning fun, because it is easier to learn and stay on task. I truly see the potential in every student and work diligently so they too can see and capture their cown potential.

Phyllis B - Spring Mills, PA 16875 (24.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I teach students in an informal manner. My individual students call me Phyllis. I welcome questions, and if I do not have an immediate answer, we will look up the answer together. I am a positive, patient teacher. I use creativity to help students learn. Often I will introduce an idea, and then have students explore how to use the idea. Then the student and I evaluate the result together. If I give a student practice examples to reinforce the ideas we have covered, then I am prompt in returning those materials, and will not move on until the student is satisfied with his own proficiency. I do not believe in standardized student learning. I have always desired to be a teacher. I graduated from Penn State in 1981 with an English degree and a music minor. I have since continued to take classes in both English and Music Education. I have taught all grades, tutored individuals and g

Brittney B - Cresson, PA 16630 (26 mi) - Writing Tutor - $31.50/hr.
As a Penn State graduate, I was motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in my teaching career. I maintained my standing on the Dean's List all eight semesters of my college career and received numerous scholarships and awards. I was chosen as one of the 56 Penn State Elementary Education majors to participate in the Professional Development School (PDS), a year long, full-time student teaching internship in collaboration with the State College Area School District. During my internship, I acquired a deep knowledge of incorporating technology into the classroom, as well as differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. I have worked as a camp counselor and maintained part-time jobs during college. As an educator, my main objective is to create a positive learning environment where my students are eager to explore, take risks, share ideas, and acquire knowledge. I

Deanna B - Patton, PA 16668 (26 mi) - Writing Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I love working with children of all ages and abilities and helping them with academics. I don't believe I have a specific teaching style. I know that I have to be flexible and creative with each student. Everyone learns differently, and I feel it is my obligation to find what works for each child. I do belive in providing hands on and real life scenarios when teaching. I have been very successful in academics throughout my education. I was valedictorian of my high school, and I received the top honors in English, French, and Accounting. I also maintained a 4.0 average throughout my college education.

Jeannette P - Carrolltown, PA 15722 (27.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have been employed by the Cambria Heights School District for 14 years as a Title 1 educator. I currently am involved in curriculum math and reading. My job mainly deals with helping students achieve success by developing learning skills that fit the individual needs of specific students and adapting regular classroom instruction to fit those needs. Most lessons can be taught in various styles but teachers are often faced with a curriculum guideline that they must follow. Often they do not have time to reteach the lesson and students begin to fall behind. With encouragement, guidance, and a new approach, many students can not only "catch up" but also stay succesful in that class.

Abigail M - Roaring Spring, PA 16673 (29 mi) - Writing Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a recent graduate, I have the unique skill of relating to students on their own level. I love listening to their needs and assessing the situation with great care and concern. There are different learning techniques and all students are different. Once I learn the proper needs of the student, I will be very successful in helping them reach their goals. Everyone has the potentional for greatness, one just needs the right person to inspire. As a graduate of a sound Liberal Arts College, I've learned that the greatest asset I took away with me was the art of communication. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus in Creative Writing and Spanish. I have written essays upon essays, from creative short-stories to my fifty-page senior thesis, and would love to continue working in a position which allows me to use my hard-earned tools.

Codi W - Bedford, PA 15522 (39.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have earned a bachelor degree, BA in Communication/Journalism, which fuels my passion for reading. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and articles. In understand the power of reading and what it holds to the child. When I was in high school, I was a regular tutor to children at the middle and elementary schools who needed help with their homework. I love helping children. I believe that each and every child should have a chance in this world. I'm also a firm believer that not every child learns the same. I am here whenever a child may need the help and will sit with them until the given task is understood.

Mary E - Mifflintown, PA 17059 (40.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As a junior and senior in college, my research papers consistently received the highest grades ever awarded by a certain professor with a reputation for being the toughest on campus. I subsequently became a successful trade journalist and marketing communications writer with in excess of 150 feature articles to my name. In addition, the last eight years, during which I've been a homeschooling mom, have allowed me to hone my teaching style and become more aware of the barriers students typically have and effective methods of overcoming writing difficulties. I enjoy helping students find the writer within them! For example, a few of my own children were reluctant writers, so I developed a daily routine of assigning them to write a full page about anything they desired. The creativity surfaced with a vengeance, let me tell you! Showing the most resistant student how to grab the bull by its

Emily V - Johnstown, PA 15902 (43.9 mi) - Writing Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have been working with preschool to high school age students since 2004. I have always had tutoring positions, whether it was for my peers in college, volunteering for the Salvation Army, or running after school programs after graduating. I am a PA certified tutor, with conflict resolution, mentor, and CERT training (Community Emergency Rescue Team). It is important to me to have a profession where I feel that I am helping other people to progress in their lives. I genuinely care about the well being of each person I come into contact to and want to help in any way I can to make life easier, and more fulfilling for all of us. I have experience teaching many types of students. I worked one-on-one, daily, with an autistic student during my last position, so I understand that not every student learns in the same way. I think it works well to give shorter lessons to a small group, and then
