Tim
Veteran teacher of Humanities
- $60 / h
- Coventry , Rhode Island ( 02816 )
- 15 miles
High school teachers have a lot they can learn from elementary school teachers. Too often, at the high school level, content seems to trump the needs of the students. Curriculum, benchmarks and "where I need to be" often overpower the need to reach students where they are and helping them get to where they need to be. This is a philosophy I have battled with over the year as I have always tried to see each of my students as individuals. What I love about tutoring is that it allows me to fo... Read more

Teaching gives me hope for the future of the world. I have been teaching and tutoring in diverse environments for over three years, and during that time I have continually been inspired by the students I work with, by their dedication and their curiosity, which keeps me coming back. When I teach, my goal is to help students accomplish their goals, but not just the immediate, easily quantifiable goals, like getting a certain grade on a paper. Rather, in accomplishing these immediate goals, I ... Read more

- Providence , Rhode Island ( 02906 )
- 15 miles
I never thought I'd be a teacher; yet here I am, a Bachelor's in Speech Therapy, pursuing my Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language. People always told me I had the makings of a great educator, but it wasn't until I sat across from a student, who possessed next to no verbal language when I first met him, as he said his first complete phrase that I realized they were right. I know that with patience, individualized lessons and passion for seeing my students succeed I can truly make ... Read more
