Tutoring Opportunity

Posted on by

I am looking for a tutor/tutors for my two children, ages 10 and 13 (they are in 5th and 8th grade in the Somerville public school system). 

For my 10 year old girl, we are looking for someone to reinforce math skills with her. She gets flustered during class time and would like a little extra practice/reinforcement. We would like to start meeting 1x week, Tuesday or Thursday anytime after she gets out of school (2:30 PM) until 4 or 4:30. 

My 13 year old son has ASD1 and ADHD and is often behind on school work. He could use some supervision/guidance getting work done (ELA and SS are particularly tough for him but sometimes he needs help in math as well). He also could use some assistance making schedules and routines for himself. He enjoys computer programming so someone with a knowledge base in that would be a plus, but not necessary. Tuesday or Thursday are also ideal, 1 hour at a time. 

Ideally this would be the same person, who would work with my daughter for an hour, then my son for another hour. We can start with one day a week and possibly work up to two if it feels right. I can offer $30/hr.

We live on Willow Ave in Somerville, between Davis and Ball Sq.

ELA and Math Tutor for 6th grader (Somerville, MA)

Posted on by

A family in Somerville is seeking an ELA and math tutor. See the message below for details:

I am looking for an ELA and math tutor for my 11 year old son, who is a 6th grader at the Kennedy School in Somerville. It can be two separate tutors, or a unicorn who can do both! My son has an ADHD/ASD1 diagnosis. He learns easily one on one, but has a hard time focusing in a classroom setting, so we are looking for weekly sessions to consolidate what he has learned in class. Ideally it would be 2 hours in math and two hours in ELA. Time and days is flexible- anytime between 3 and 5 PM on a weekday. We can pay $30/hour. If interested or would like more information please contact me at afolland@gmail.com. My name is Alison. 

Literacy Coach for 2 Early Elementary friends with ADHD

Posted on by

We are two families seeking some fun literacy/phonics coaching over the summer for two girls, ages six and seven.  Both children are around the same reading level: learning the letters, the sounds they make, and beginning stages of sounding out words.

Our goal is to give these two friends a cooperative learning opportunity that appeals to their interests and also gives them many movement breaks. Both children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and so lessons that can be in the form of outside games, art projects, theatrical performances, neighborhood hikes, and phonics scavenger hunts would be ideal for engaging these enthusiastic, creative adventurers.

These two kiddos have known each other since they were babies. They share many of the same interests, including performing arts, dance, nature, playing in sand and water, arts and crafts, fantastical imaginative role playing, cats and tigers, Pokemon, legos, vampires, superheroes, and cooking. They have been known to put on a good puppet show together, and have also recorded some vampire-themed podcasts.

Applicants must be LGBTQ+ friendly.

We live fifteen minutes away from one another in Medford and Arlington. Both home spaces are available for sessions with indoor work and play spaces as well as backyards. Both families live walking distance to playgrounds.  We can also provide transportation to a third location if needed. Note that both homes also have cats in residence.

We are hoping for three or more sessions a week with availability on most weekends as well as weekdays after 4:30.
If the summer works well, we would be excited to continue sessions into the fall with availability weekends and weekdays after 3:00.

Compensation: $35-40 per hour depending on level of experience. Supplies and snacks will be reimbursed.

References and background check required.

Interested applicants should email Anne Marie Darling at at annemarie.darling@gmail.com or call 617-583-3109.
