Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (42.5 mi) - Logic Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I consistently did well with logical proofs, as well as analogies and statements, throughout the K-12 and college levels. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

mindy m - kingsport, TN 37660 (19.8 mi) - Logic Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Each person learns at an individual pace. I use the Gardner system of multiple intelligences to facilitate individual learning style. I do not believe something is impossible to learn, or unteachable. Patience is a moral and ethic rule with my personal professional style. I have worked with different levels of mental health and emotional maturity for several years. I have spent much of my spare time working within the community at youth centers, soup kitchens and veteran administration homes. I feel that working with many different types and levels of human functioning has enabled me to be more able to adjust my teaching and assisting styles to better serve my community.

Michael K - Mats Hill, NC 28754 (23.9 mi) - Logic Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My passion is teaching mathematics. After a single year of retirement I missed teaching so much that I now either teach or tutor at three locations. In the classroom I have a casual, informal style that is more like a conversation with my students than a formal lecture. After presenting a problem for students to analyze and solve, my most common tactic is to ask a series of scaffolded (rather than Socratic) questions-designed to lead students to their own method to resolve the situation. I believe that all students can learn mathematics, and that determining how each student best does it is my prime objective. I taught secondary mathematics for 35 years, with 28 years experience teaching AP Calculus. I've also worked for the College Board, 'reading' AP Calculus Examination results. I also have 29 years experience teaching undergraduate mathematics part time, mostly for the University

Dan M - Morristown, TN 37814 (26.3 mi) - Logic Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have a somewhat relaxed teaching style that does not compromise the distinction or respect between student and teacher. This teaching style results in a classroom atmosphere where students feel comfortable responding to my questions and asking for further clarification about complex topics. Many students have told me that my teaching style is refreshing and they feel comfortable in class. With my numerous experiences in education, I think I could be a great asset in helping students become more knowledgeable. I have worked as a Tutor, Assistant Teacher, and did a short placement as an Interim Teacher. I can easily adjust to changing environments that will best suit the student’s potential. I was a Tutor in an after school program, and was an Assistant Teacher in a Special Education classroom. I finished an Interim Teaching placement in a middle school A.P. English classroom.

Joshua W - Morristown, TN 37813 (27.4 mi) - Logic Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am blessed to have attended a college that prepared me for real world situations and classroom circumstances. I have achieved two bachelor's degrees, a BS in bible and a BS in elementary education. I have also achieved a master's in holistic education. These degree programs provided me with a grasp of all subject areas in the elementary portion of schooling. I have also had the pleasure of tutoring many athletes at both the college and middle school level. I have tutored in subjects ranging from math and science to history and literature. I am a discussion based teacher. I prefer to engage the students higher level thinking with a questioning approach. I do not think that lecture or rote memorization are proper ways to educate a child. I believe that teachers affect a students learning not just through the subject but also through the real world examples that should be the core

Bridget M - Asheville, NC 28804 (32.7 mi) - Logic Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I hold a bachelor degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I majored in Elementary Education for two years before I switched majors. I started a master degree program in International Relations in 2009 and decided to return to school in the fall for a master's degree in social work. I have experience in private school and public school systems. I completed course hours for college in public school systems as well as working for public and private schools. I have experienced various types of teaching styles while in school. I have learned a long the way every student is different and learns in a different way. In high school and all even through college math had always been my hardest subject. My second year in college I had a math professor that had a different approach to teaching math and for the first time in my life I finally understood math!

Scott C - Asheville, NC 28804 (35.3 mi) - Logic Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I think that in today's public education system, with ever-growing class sizes some students get thrown to the wayside. These students need a more personalized learning plan that offers them head-to-head or small group discussions. I can relate to the child who remains silent because he doesn't think his question is smart enough. Subsequently, that child starts getting left behind little by little until they feel completely lost and abandoned and become disillusioned with the whole education system. My hope is to convince some of these children that they can make their educations work for them and maybe even become the child in class that begins to want to help others learn and grow. As a high school student, I was very active in extracurricular activities. I participated in the rotary club, volunteering at local soup kitchens. I was also a member of the Newspaper, Quiz Bowl, Robotics Te

Jenna N - Asheville, NC 28804 (35.3 mi) - Logic Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching students of all ages and academic experiences, whether it is the high school student who doesn't want to attend school anymore or the most avid learner in the university setting. I truly believe that every person is capable of learning if they are presented the material in a way which can motivate them to internalize the value of an education. I do not think that assuming a superior role in the situation of teaching or tutoring is helpful, and I strive to instill confidence in every student whom I encounter. Attending UNC Asheville helped me to realize the irreplaceable value of a passionate, knowledgeable, and empowering teacher. After I received my minor in Mathematics, I applied to become a math tutor for a high school student. I have tutored this student for a year and a half now in Math, writing, and Spanish. Also, throughout this last semester of my undergraduate c

david k - asheville, NC 28804 (35.5 mi) - Logic Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have worked with a large spectrum of skill levels & motivations, & have developed skills to meet all levels. I have extensive experience working with learning disabled children, & many of my strategies are geared to diverse learners. I have mainly tutored upper level/motivated students, but I try to fuse my methods together. I discuss problem solving techniques, word problem approaches, patterns, non-calculator skills, & vocab in order to promote self-confidence and understanding of their weaknesses/strengths. I encourage them to ask questions, interrupt for clarification, & to feel comfortable with me. I am known amongst peers as having excellent rapport with students of all social groups, and being respected by them, not just liked. I graduated Brandeis with degrees in Psych. & Engl./Amer. Lit, with a Sec. Ed. minor; I also was a TA for a humanities course as a senior. Though I

Norah B - Asheville, NC 28804 (35.9 mi) - Logic Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I have dedicated the last six years to studying chemistry at the College of William & Mary, first as an undergraduate student and then as a Master's student. I obtained a BS in Chemistry in the spring of 2009 and, having finished my graduate research, have moved back to Asheville to finish writing my thesis in order to complete my Master's in chemistry. In addition to my extensive coursework, I have three years of chemical research experience. Over the past three years, I have successfully tutored a number of students in high school and college in a wide-range of chemistry related subjects, from general chemistry all the way through physical chemistry and more advanced subjects. I believe that one-on-one instruction is extremely important in the educational process. The large lecture format currently utilized in both high school and college often discourages students from asking quest

Robin D - Asheville, NC 28804 (36.2 mi) - Logic Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My teaching style is based on patience and the understanding that not everyone understands mathematics the same way. As such, I attempt to explain mathematics slowly, simplistically and by focusing on the general concepts. I believe this enables the student to understand the material at their own pace. This also helps foster an environment where the student is given sufficient opportunity to ask questions and stay actively involved in the learning process. I have had extensive experience tutoring in group settings as well as tutoring individuals. While attending community college and working, I tutored for high school students preparing themselves for college in group settings. Since graduating to the university level, I have been tutoring students and individuals from the community on a one-to-one basis. Thus, I am able to understand the dynamics of what each person needs most in order
