Meghan

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +28 Subjects

A small-town girl from Connecticut, I attended the University of Rhode Island, where I achieved my Bachelor's degree in Writing and Rhetoric, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and although it is not for everyone, I believe that passion is contagious.I first began tutoring in my college's Writing Center during my senior year, helping students of all ages improve all different aspects of their writing. As I loved tutoring others so much, I began to tutor professionally, working with students from kindergarten to graduate school. Writing, Reading, Grammar and Elementary Math are the cornerstones of a solid education, an education that leads our upcoming generations to success.In my freetime, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our dogs, exploring the city of Boston, traveling New England and spending time outdoors. I like to spend my time reading, exploring the world of gluten-free foods, capturing life through photography and enjoying a good cup of coffee.

I am an elementary school instructor who enjoys going to school every day and seeing the eager faces of my students. I entered the teaching profession to give back to the community that I have come to love, and to share my passion for learning with its young residents. I believe that every child is teachable-build a relationship with your student, and the two of you can achieve milestones. The gradual release model of teaching (I do/we do/you do) has served me well in working with elementary and middle school students.I earned my Bachelor's Degree from University of North Carolina (Film Studies/Creative Writing), and later became a Certified Educator in the state of Texas. I am certified to teach Core Subjects to grades EC-6; English/Language Arts and Social Studies to grades 4-8, and; Theater Arts to grades EC-12. As an experienced actress, my favorite subject to teach is English/Language Arts as I am an expressive person, and I enjoy writing.When I am not teaching, you will either find me viewing a new movie, taking a road trip, or baking special treats for my loved ones.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. As an educator, I believe it is my responsibility to help them get there. Every child has a different learning style, whether that be verbal, visual, or hands-on, and with their learning style comes the opportunity to help them specifically meet their learning need.

Marine

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am currently a student at Georgia State University; I will have my Bachelor's degree, with a major in English with a concentration in Literature, in May of 2014. In September 2014, I will begin my Masters of Arts in Teaching through the University of Southern California. I have had multiple experiences teaching at the informal level, and have most recently completed a Secondary Education internship. This internship allowed me to work with students in on-level Freshman English, and Senior AP Literature. I was also allowed to observe classes at the Sophomore and Junior levels.My favorite subject to teach is Writing. I have a passion for literature, and I greatly enjoy writing my analysis and conclusions down, manipulating the English language to reflect exactly what I mean.I believe in cognitive learning; that is, I believe students should always have the opportunity to voice what they have learned. That way, I can understand the way each student grasps concepts, and it allows me to see exactly where a student has trouble with a concept.Outside of academia, I work with an animal rescue and service dog training program. I take part in the rehabilitation process for dogs who need to learn how to live in a home, and I assist in training the service dogs. As the Director for Public Relations for the branch, I also oversee the public aspect of the organization.

I am a graduate of Rollins College in Winter Park, FL with a BA in Critical Media and Cultural Studies and Studio Art. Throughout my time at Rollins I was highly engaged with my local community and committed to service. I have a range of tutoring experiences from mentoring 3rd to 5th graders in Title I schools through the Read2Succeed program to being a peer tutor for college-age students at the Rollins Tutoring and Writing Center. I believe education is a keystone for success. My training sessions at the Rollins Tutoring and Writing Center have shaped my teaching methodology, which is to make the learning process inclusive and collaborative at the forefront. Outside of education, I am also passionate about photography, art, and traveling! I will also be continuing my education to receive my Master's degree at University College London (UCL) in September 2022.

Academic Coaching Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a longtime educator who has taught in both public and private school settings in California and Vermont. As a middle grades public school teacher and administrator for 16 years in California, I specialized in English/Language Arts and Social Studies/History but also taught at various times, mathematics, drama, and physical education. Working in a grades 6-12 private school in Vermont for 12 years, I continued to teach middle grades English but also taught grades 9-12. I received my undergraduate education at the University of Maine where I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science. I pursued my teaching certification at San Francisco State University and later earned a Masters in Educational Administration Degree from that same university. As part of a long career in education, I have always taken the time to work with students in need of additional help and support, believing that we all learn in different ways. My main area of expertise has always been reading comprehension, written expression, grammar, spelling, vocabulary development, study skills, research, and homework help. I have worked extensively in that role with English Language Learners, students with IEP's and 504's, and many others seeking to improve their comprehension and communication skills. I have found this type of individual work the most rewarding of my career.

Hello and thank you for considering me as your tutor! A little about myself...I am a 2009 graduate of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. A degree from USNA is unlike any other. Though I was an English major, my degree is a Bachelors of Science. All Midshipmen (what students at USNA are called) take classes like Calculus, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, and more to help them prepare to be well-rounded Naval Officers. You better believe I have developed some really useful study skills from all those classes! After graduation I attended flight school in Pensacola, FL and put those study skills to good use, graduating first in my class. I then served as a Naval Flight Officer (or NFO) aboard the Navy's P-3 Orion aircraft. P-3s use a combination of techniques and technologies to fulfill their mission of hunting submarines and providing reconnaissance information. This may not sound like it relates to tutoring, but my previous career taught me three things that make me an ideal tutor: I think quickly on my feet, can approach a problem from many different angles, and I value excellence, precision, and effort above all else!After leaving the service, I pursued my graduate degree in Diplomacy from Norwich University. Having always been a bit of a foreign policy "nerd," I enjoyed learning about the history of modern diplomacy and the international system, modern methods of conflict management, and theories on the future of international relations. I am a member of Sigma Iota Rho (the honor society for international studies) and graduated with a 4.0. Norwich helped me sharpen my writing and editing skills significantly. I've always been a strong writer, but my professors at Norwich helped me take my skills to the next level. I'd love to help you do the same! Currently, I write and edit for the Center for International Maritime Security. Topics of interest to me are NATO and the Arctic.My work has been featured by CIMSEC, the US Naval Institute, and Real Clear Defense.So, after all that, why should you allow me the opportunity to tutor you or your child? First, I exercise what I like to call "Educational Empathy" at all times. I get it. I SO get it. I have been a student, and nothing quite matches the frustration of being confused by a topic or working hard and not seeing results that are commensurate with your effort. That's where I come in! By attacking the problem from a place of understanding and with plenty of enthusiasm, I'll work with you or your student to nail that tough subject, write that perfect essay, or get those top scores. I believe all students are capable of understanding and progression, and that frequently the issue is not with the learner themselves, but the approach to learning.I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my statement and letting me share a little about myself and my approach to learning. Don't hesitate to contact me at any time if you have any questions!

Learning to speak another language is scary for students. I want to create a comfortable atmosphere that enables students to speak the language they wish to learn: naturally, with confidence, and no barriers to impede them from achieving that goal. I have two years of experience as a teacher with emphasis on ESL education. As a native Spanish speaker, I take Spanish learners of all levels and French students up to level 3.
