Sculpting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Westford, MA

Sculpting is a great medium in that it can be done in so many different ways: clay, paper-mache, found objects, recycled materials, wood. I have done several of my own sculptures in college and out, and teach children different sculpting projects throughout the year. I go as fast or as slow as the student needs. I encourage students to try new techniques and ideas so they are self-aware of the process and learning experience that leads to self-improvement and development. During the school year, I work as a curriculum coordinator and art teacher for an after school program in Lexington, Ma. This is my 6th year of teaching stimulating and unique art projects to children in grades K-5. I have interned as a graphic designer and also had jobs as a wedding photographer. During the summer, I work as an assistant director to a summer enrichment program in Winchester, Ma. Outside of work- I am

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.

I am firm and consistent always asking for the students' imput. My style will vary with the assignment at hand, also. It is important to me that I achieve expectations of me through collaborative efforts. It is important that I help each child reach his/her potential motivating them to plan their work carefully and to strive for success. My tutoring involves following classroom plans in Reading, Writing, English, and related skills and subjects. The goal is to support my students in their academic work that needs remedial attention as well as to enhance and enrich their homework, supporting them in every way possible. I mainly teach grades Kindergarten through six and have worked for over three years with older students at the middle school level(s).

I earned my degree in newspaper journalism at Syracuse University, one of the finest schools in the country for this program. Since that time, I have worked as a writer, editor, journalist and reporter for several major organizations, most recently as a content producer for Monster.com's Career Advice. This position involved working with freelance writers to mold their work into a better product. I believe that helping young people with their writing is essential to getting them to properly express themselves, as well as get them ready to compete in the world of work and school. I love working one-on-one with students and showing them how to improve their writing. I am a tough editor but believe that constant practice is the key to becoming an effective communicator.

My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes. I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!

My experience as art instructor provides me the opportunity to witness the valuable role art plays within the lives of children and young adults. As art students gain confidence in their skills they gain confidence within themselves. My goal is to encourage students to express themselves creatively while generating a life-long enthusiasm for art. Each student is a valuable and unique individual, and my teaching style reflects this. As art instructor I am a valuable resource of technical skills. However, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to make art. I have set lesson plans and objectives-- but students are encouraged to create art according to their artistic vision. This gives students the ability to further pursue their artistic goals. Art and education has always played an integral part in my life, as witnessed by my college degree and professional career.

As a college student I was taught various pedagogical methods. Then being a professional teacher and tutor I developed my own personal style. My main believe as an educator is that every child needs individual approach. Patience, tolerance, and dedication are integral parts of productive teaching. I try to understand the child’s inner world; it helps to unfold the student’s potential more fully. Depending on the age and background of the student I combine instructions, repetitions, special assignments, and making learning fun in different proportions. I give you and your child my best practice and knowledge; it leads to achieving excellent academic results. My goal is to cultivate a conscientious student and successful person. Teacher of English as a Second Language – that was my initial BA. Being a native Russian speaker, I was able to understand nuances of learning and teaching foreign

I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I truly enjoy doing helping others. My teaching style is somewhat laid-back, but students know that I expect them to learn to their fullest potential. I believe in using several learning styles in the classroom and being to identify which students require different ways of learning. If something doesn't work in the classroom, I will do what it takes to make each student understand. I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons. I h
