Angel A. - New Orleans, LA 70124 (33.8 mi) - Elementary School Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I inspire students to explore their interests and to expand their horizons. As an international educator, I have taught in many different countries, many different subjects to a wide range of students of all ages. This experience has allowed me to develop a unique perspective and presentation style of materials. My primary focus has been in law and business; particularly, entrepreneurial arts and intellectual property. One must have excellent English language skills and a strong grasp of the social sciences to be successful.

Christy B - Ocean Springs, MS 39564 (33.6 mi) - Elementary School Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I believe learning should be fun and creative and that children should have an environment that is friendly and caring to learn in. I think teachers should be patient with their difficulties and take time to give them the one on one attention that they need. I like thematic units and hands on activities. I like to teach reading and english. I like to use whole group, small groups, paired reading activities. I like to use magazines, newspapers, children's books and other materials that interest the students to teach reading. I greatly enjoy seeing the students achieve their learning goals and their yearly progress
In 2000, I began to teach special education and teaching special needs children with learning disabilities. I taught grades 3rd-5th in a self-contained, reading, math, and language skills and middle school grades 6th- 8th.
After Hurricane Katrina, I moved to Pensacola, Fl.

Lillian W - Merairie, LA 70002 (38.4 mi) - Elementary School Social Studies Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put together

Christie D - New Orleans, LA 70118 (38.9 mi) - Elementary School Social Studies Tutor - $52.50/hr.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning anything. I believe that it is up to the teacher to make the subject at hand interesting, and relate it to the real-world needs of the student. It is important to instigate an open dialogue, to understand the student to then formulate a plan that fits with the student's learning style. Open communication and patience are the cornerstone to getting any student to open up and begin the learning process. I have a passion for learning, would love to help any student become aware that learning can be fun and productive. I am a completely dedicated person, who is focused on strengthening my life skills and my knowledge base to continue to grow as a stronger and more well-rounded person. My background in psychology, public health, and social work have heightened my sensitivity to all ranges of people and cultures, and the needs they possess. My passi
