Jeremy
History and Social Studies Tutor
Hello, my name is Jeremy. I am a certified secondary Social Studies teacher in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. As a historian, I like to think of myself as a ‘general practitioner’--to use a medical term--I focus not on just one area but I enjoy studying and teaching U.S. history, medieval history, the ancient classics, civics, world history, economics, and modern events. During my time at USM I earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science with a minor in history. When I finished c... Read more

Jasmin -- Undergraduate student wanting to give back to the community
Currently an undergraduate student, I am pursuing a degree in Music Education in the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College. My coursework at Gettysburg has allowed me to create and run an after-school program at a local elementary school, experience working with and assisting local students in their music programs, and getting the chance to observe many teachers in the area teach. Next year I will be a PLA (peer learning assistant) for the Musicology I course at the college, where I wi... Read more
Janice
Janice Q. Reading, Vocabulary, Core Subjects
My teaching style is encouraging, caring, and flexible. In my 21 years of teaching, I have learned how to take children from what they know to what they want to know. I feel that developing a positive relationship at the beginning is crucial to any child's success. Children need to feel valued and accepted. I feel that children can achieve anything they believe they can achieve. My passion for teaching comes from working hard to achieve my own goals and helping a classmate graduate from ... Read more

Michelle
English & K-8 Education major ready to tutor!
Working with children & helping out children younger than me has always been my passion. I grew up on a dead end street where many large families lived. Growing up, I always played teacher with my sisters and spent most of my middle school and early high school years babysitting all of the children younger than me on my street. Even at a young age, I showed that I was meant to teach by helping everyone out with their homework when I babysat them. When I started to out grow my babysitting ... Read more

Mary
Comprehensive Writing Instruction Made Easy!
My interest in teaching lies in my desire to empower anyone who is in a learning environment. Over the years I have tutored college students, I often encounter students who are struggling with their self-confidence as much as they are with where to place a semi-colon. By meeting the learner where they are in the process of writing, I learned that it is much easier for a student to grasp a concept, exercise their knowledge and master a challenge when they felt supported. Perhaps more importan... Read more
