Vivian $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vivian and I am currently 18 years old as a senior in highschool at Beaver Country Day in Brookline. I have been working with children for many years now. Starting at the age of 11, I became a mothers helper for some of my neighbors. Along side my babysitting jobs, I have had lots of professional experience with children as well. When I turned `13, I became a Conselor in Training at Beaver Summer Camp and for every summer since, I have been a Camp Counselor for campers ages 3-6. Futhermore, when I was 14-16, I volenteered everyday at the Pine Manor Child Study Center as an assistant teacher. This past winter, I also worked as an assistant teacher with children ages 6-9 at the Boston Community Center for Youth and Families. Please feel free to reach out!!

Lori $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a tutor who thrives on helping k-8 students work more successfully in reading and writing. Special Education and literacy are my background with a solid foundation in The Science of Reading and Guided Reading, remedial reading and writing. I have 20 years of experience and a very nurturing manner. I prepare 3/4 year old with readiness skills for school also. I have several parent and teacher references. My skills include working with beginning, intermediate and advanced learners, mostly special needs learners, mild to moderate and English language learners in reading and writing. I also do childcare with ages three to ten. We work on creative play, storytelling, books, language, behaviors, sports, exercise and more, whatever your child's interests are is okay with me. My fees range according to service providing and number of students/children. I work mostly afternoons and evenings for the school year according to my primary position. I like to work all summer days too. I like to be flexible for you.
