  • Massachusetts Physics Teachers are Great Tutors!

    Physics teachers are very special individuals. They have a passion for a topic and class that most adults look back on with disdain.
    If you are like me, physics was one of the most challenging classes of my educational  experience. I struggled with problems every night and was so nervous before every test. I had friends who helped with my studies, but I probably could have benefited from a tutor.
    The goal of My Town Tutors is to provide parents and students with qualified teachers who tutor. We are very fortunate to have number of qualified physics teachers who tutor on the South Shore. Currently, we list three Physics tutors from three different schools. If you need a Physics tutor on the South Shore, we have some great options.
    Dr. Anthony DeFranzo, Hanover High School. Dr. D as he is affectionately know in the halls of Hanover High is an extremely motivated teacher who has the ability to reach students of all different learning abilities. He has been teaching Honors and AP physics for longer than he can remember.
    Dr. DeFranzo is an ideal tutor for the Rockland, Abington, and Norwell area.
    Ms. Rebecca Roy, Holbrook High School. Rebecca was one of our most popular tutors last year. She has tutored high school and college students from the Quincy and Braintree areas.  She has an undergraduate degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The feedback from the parents and students who have worked with her has been tremendous.
    Ms. Roy would be a great resource for students in Quincy, Braintree, Avon, Holbrook and Weymouth.
    Mr. Kenneth Magno, Marshfield High School. Mr. Magno has been teaching Physics at Marshfield High School for the past several years. He has taught AP Physics C: Mechanics (Calculus-Based), Honors Physics, and College Prep Physics. Mr. Magno has worked with students on most math courses from K-8 through Calculus. In addition to his teaching duties, he is the advisor for the MHS FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Team.
    Mr. Magno could help students in Hanover, Scituate, Plymouth, Duxbury, and Marshfield.
    These three Physics teachers make My Town Tutors a great resource for parents, students, and guidance counselors on the South Shore. We currently list over 230 teachers who tutor in Massachusetts. We are currently using twitter and direct mailings to contact schools and PTOs.
    Please visit My Town Tutors and share this information with other teachers and parents in your area.

  • My Town Tutors: It's as Easy as ABC

    My Town Tutors has a goal of being the number one resource for Massachusetts parents looking to connect with teachers who tutor.
    We have one simple belief:  Massachusetts “Teachers are great tutors!”
    My Town Tutors started in Hanover, Massachusetts and currently lists 225+ teachers who tutor. Parents on the South Shore now have an outstanding resource when they are looking for local tutors. We can field the majority of tutoring requests for all grade levels.
    Our challenge now is to reach as many teachers and parents in the other areas of Massachusetts. We are using several different methods. This post will explain how we are using the ABC method to reach every high school in Massachusetts before the start of the 2012-2013 school year.
    It’s as Easy as ABC
    We have a listing of all the Massachusetts High Schools. In addition to contacting teachers, parents, and administrators by athletic leagues, we will be contacting 4 people in each school starting with all the “A” high schools.
    We will contact:
    1. A Math Teacher – Many parents and students are interested in having math tutoring. One math teacher per school will be contacted with a note and a few business cards. We are asking these teachers to share the note with other educators.
    Tutoring is a great way for teachers to make extra money. It only costs a teacher $12 to be listed as a tutor for over 2 years (until September 2014). The teacher keeps all other fees. If they decide to charge $75 an hour, they keep all $75 dollars. There are no hidden fees.
    The membership is from now until September 30, 2014, a very low cost to have the ability of making $50 – $200 a week.
    2. A High School Principal – We feel our service can benefit an entire school community. Higher grades and SAT scores can be a great reflection on a school system. Confident and motivated students have less behavior issues and more self-esteem.
    A principal also has the ability to share information with an entire school district. A principal communicates with parents, students, teachers, guidance counselors, and so many other members of a school community. We are asking the principals to simply share a letter and article with their school community.
    3. A High School Guidance Counselor – As a veteran educator, I know how challenging it is to find qualified tutors. My Town Tutors has solved this problem. We only list teachers who tutor. Teachers from other schools who live in a town can be a great resource.
    We are asking guidance counselors to post a flier in their office to share information with parents and students. We also would encourage them to list our service on the school guidance page. Guidance counselors have extremely challenging jobs. Eliminate the time spent looking for tutors can free up time for them to spend on the so many other tasks of a guidance counselor.
    4. The High School PTO – Parents have the most important job in America. My Town Tutors values the time and effort that our parents commit to their children. Teaching morals, values and work ethic are best taught at home.
    But …… Physics?… Chemistry?… Calculus?… Geometry?… French? This is beyond the abilities of so many parents. The goal of My Town Tutors is to provide parents with a great resource to find a qualified local teacher who tutors.
    We have just started to send out letters to all the “A” schools. Please understand, My Town Tutors is committed to being the #1 resource for tutoring in Massachusetts. We are very well-established on the South Shore. In Abington, we currently list 83 tutors within 15 miles of 02351.
    Even though we currently do not yet list any tutors in that Athol, we hope with our direct mailings, to be able to some great tutoring options for Athol parents.
    We ask that teachers have faith in our service and sign-up. It only takes one teacher to start us off. We are committed to teachers and parents. Please have a little faith and patience as we work to be the best resource for parents and teachers who are interested in finding a tutor.
    If you are teacher or parent, please help share this information with others.

  • Massachusetts Patriot League Schools Have Great Tutors!

    My Town Tutors is a great resource for Patriot League schools. The schools in this league are like so many others in Southeastern Massachusetts. There are many great coaches, teachers, and student-athletes .
    My Town Tutors helps parents and students in these communities find teachers who tutor. My Town Tutors started in Hanover, MA (02339). We are sending letters to each school in the state to make teachers aware of this great opportunity. This week we sent letters to 5 teachers in each of the schools. We are hoping to list many more teachers who tutor in these communities.
    We believe Massachusetts “Teachers are great tutors!”

    We are confident if a parent needs a tutor, they will find a qualified teacher in each of these communities to meet their needs. If you are having trouble finding a specific subject area or grade level, contact us and we will recruit a teacher to meet your needs.
    We want to be the #1 resource for Patriot League parents looking for tutors. Please help us spread the word!
    If you are teacher in the area, we are always looking for qualified tutors. Register now. The cost is $12 t be listed until September 31, 2014. That is the ONLY cost. A teacher sets the hourly fee and keeps 100% of it.

  • Massachusetts Teachers are Great Tutors!

    My Town Tutors believes Massachusetts “Teachers are great tutors!” We make it easy for parents to connect with local teachers who tutor. We currently have over 230 Massachusetts teachers registered, but we need so many more.
    We have two simple beliefs.
    1. Teachers are great tutors!
    2. Parents want great tutors for their children.
    The idea for My Town Tutors was conceived while walking the grounds of the Marshfield Fair the week before school started. Another teacher was working fourteen straight, 18-hour days for $10 an hour as a security guard. Many other security guards were teachers who needed extra money to make it to the 1st pay check and working the Marshfield Fair was the best, and for some, only, part-time job available.
    I suddenly realized that creating MyTownTutors could solve two major problems for teachers, students, and parents:
    1. Teachers can use their education, experience, knowledge, and training to do what they do best – help students achieve academically. At the same time, these teachers could have the flexibility of selecting their own hours and own rate of pay (definitely more than $10 an hour).
    2. Parents can find qualified, professional teachers, with unique skills to work with a child. Parents can have complete confidence that the every tutor we list has experience and training working with students who have a variety of learning abilities and styles.
    My Town Tutors firmly believes teachers who tutor are a much better alternative for parents than the national tutoring franchises. Many of these companies rarely employ teachers, and if they do, the teachers are grossly underpaid. The national franchise tutors are usually college students who have little, if any, training or experience working with students. Additionally, the cost of these services for parents is insanely high.
    “Teacher are great tutors!”
    Massachusetts teachers know the curriculum, content, and state standards. More importantly, teachers know children. They understand the learning process and the challenges faced by many students. They speak regularly with other educators and have been trained to use strategies to reach many different learning styles.
    The goals of My Town Tutors are really simple.

    1. To make it easy for students and parents to connect with a qualified, local teacher who tutors.
    1. To help teachers who tutor earn additional income with a flexible schedule that fits their needs.

    Last fall, My Town Tutors was tested successfully in the towns south of Boston. Parents and teachers loved it! We now list over 225 teachers who tutor.
    Over the summer we added some great new features, including updates to our profile page (Tutor Profile: Mark Molloy) and we are reaching out to teachers across the state.
    My Town Tutors would love to have any Massachusetts (or U.S.) teacher who tutors join our national directory. With our special promotion, teachers can register until September 31, 2014 for only $12. There are no other fees for our service. If a teacher charges $50 an hour, the teacher keeps all $50. It is that simple.
    If any teacher or parent has a question about our services, please email – mark@mytowntutors.com. I would appreciate any feedback.
