Amy B. - Fairview, NC 28730 (8.9 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong. I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's.

Yvonne B. - Hendersonville, NC 28792 (15.4 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Over twenty years success in teaching, including homeschooling my own four children, has made me an exceptional tutor. I love children, care about their lives and academic progress, and have the experience of classroom teaching to help me relate to students' needs. I am equally at home in the classroom, in groups, in person one-on-one and online. Caring, concerned, earnest, fun, relaxed

Mikal H. - Hendersonville, NC 28739 (20.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I am a very hands-on teacher. I try to help students by showing them how it is done and then letting them practice. I have experience in all of the fields that are listed. Most of the skills I have acquired were either through learning them during my time at school or through doing personal research because they interested me. I have done some tutoring in the computer/i.t field as a side job. Chess has been one of my favorite things to learn. My experience with chess has been a regional tournament where I made it to the last-round of the semi-finals.

Carol F. - Duncan, SC 29334 (43.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $87.50/hr.
I have tutored writing at the college level since 1985 when I finished a formal course in tutoring methods. Since then, I have tutored writing and other subjects for people as young as 12 through college-age. For 15 years, I also taught college writing courses including basic writing, English composition, research composition, creative writing, and advanced poetry writing. I am the recipient of a Nation/Discovery award for poetry, and my poems have appeared in many literary magazines and some anthologies. I recently put out a novel. Additionally, I scored 198 out of 200 on the literature Praxis examination, which is a national teacher certification exam.
In addition to teaching writing, I ran an interdisciplinary learning center for 11 years. There, I hired, trained and supervised tutors in many disciplines--usually at least 90 per semester. The Center normally made about 5000 tutori

Megan S - Asheville, NC 28801 (0.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I believe in a direct, hands-on approach to learning. The main issue many children (and adults) face with learning new material is understanding how the information is applicable to them. I believe in contextualizing information to fit a student's interests and passions so that they are capable of learning a concept that they can then apply to other areas of their life. I engage students through questions, examples, and open conversation. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort with a BA in English Language and Literature in 2008. Since then, I have worked as a tutor both in-school and online. During the spring of 2009, I worked as a 5th grade tutor in Language Arts and Math at a Title 1 elementary school in North Charleston, SC. Since the fall of 2009, I have worked as an online writing lab tutor for Smarthinking, Inc. I review and make editing sugg

Naomi U - Asheville, NC 28801 (0.9 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I am a strong proponent of self-directed learning. The best retention of material and new skills comes when a student finds the subject engaging and is able to relate the subject to their own experiences, passions, and goals. All people learn differently; therefore, it is helpful when a student is able to learn particular methods and study skills that will continue to benefit their future learning. I love asking questions that allow a young person to reach their own conclusions. As a child, I felt very much empowered when teachers and mentors supported my own explorations and created the spaces for me to learn in my own way. I graduated from Stanford University with two bachelor degrees, BA in English Literature and Creative Writing and BA in Art and Art History. I am extremely competent in reading comprehension, composition, editing for grammar and content, and in constructing crit

Melissa B - Asheville, NC 28801 (1.1 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My teaching style is based on the needs of each particular student, and, in cases where ability levels are varied, I find ways to use the strengths of each student to help the group as a whole. In my experience as a tutor, I have found that children often just need extra attention to thrive. Some of my most difficult cases, as a result, have become the most rewarding. My focus is on the natural abilities and creativity of each individual child and on fostering those abilities through well-organized and thoughtful instruction. The ability to learn and thrive is innate in everyone; it is the teacher's task to bring those qualities to the forefront. As a participant in a bilingual tutoring project, I thrived in connecting with my students and tailoring the lesson plan to their specific needs. I accompanied my students in the classroom, translated assignments from English to Spanish, and pro

Marcianna C - Asheville, NC 28801 (1.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As an undergraduate student, I became a substitute teacher for Fulton County Schools and taught in this capacity for four years K-12, focusing on primary grades. Prior to that I taught in adult private, health related programs for another four years. Since 2000, I have taught high school and undergraduate students in the subjects of wellness education and English (as a second language, writing, and reading). My teaching style is holistic, relying upon the philosophy of Dr. Parker J. Palmer who attempts simultaneously to maintain humility, keep the focus less on himself and the students, and more on the subject. With the subject at the center of the room, I prepare myself beforehand to fan the flames of interest as needed to keep the students engaged. This works by first encouraging students to focus on themselves and using their own experience or questions as the best approach to the

Shelly G - Asheville, NC 28805 (1.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national government program that provides learning opportunities for preschool children from disadvantaged families. I have worked with children as young as three years old; at the same time, I have taught 30- and 40-somethings returning to the classroom for the first time in 20 years. Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount of wo

Richard L - Asheville, NC 28806 (1.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have Bachelor's Degrees in English & Spanish, a Master's Degree in English, and am rated 'advanced low' on the Arabic Oral Proficiency exam. My Spanish training includes 42 college level credit-hours, as well as a semester studying in Mexico. I have tutored language for native and non-native speakers on high-school and college levels. I also taught the high school curriculum, including Social Studies, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Science, English and Geography to a class of JobCorps candidates who had been failing students, many with special learning needs, and helped all of them to graduate with diplomas within 5 months. I am self-taught and proficient on all MS applications, plus HTML-, CSS-, PHP- and Java-based design. I'm most interested in tutoring on the high-school or college level, but I do have experience teaching young children as well. I believe that the big
