Nathan N. - Sandy, UT 84070 (11.4 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $27.00/hr.
I am an extremely patient person. My teaching style stems from that. I encourage those I tutor to set goals for what they want to learn or accomplish and then assist them in working towards those goals. I am a culinary school graduate and a full-time chef. As part of my chef-ly duties, I regularly find myself teaching cooking techniques and helping people become more comfortable in the kitchen. When it comes to writing, that I do more for my own amusement, but I have always considered myself more of a writer than anything else. I have experience and enjoy training youth in resume writing and goal setting.

Catherine v - Riverton, UT 84096 (5.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I love seeing people learn. I love the look in a student's eye when they think about something in a way they've never thought about it before. I love to facilitate that type of learning because it brings me great satisfaction. I especially love to work with children because they are so willing to learn and they absorb information so quickly. I am grateful for amazing teachers and dedicated parents who helped me with my education when I was young, and I want to pass that on to other children. Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved learning. This passion for learning new things has given me the motivation to earn my Bachelor's degree in Humanities (emphasis: Music) as well as my Master's degree in Comparative studies. Through the writing and publication of my thesis, I have gained valuable experience editing, researching, and proofreading as well as learning analytical and critical th

Rachel W - West Jordan, UT 84088 (10 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I discovered my teaching techniques while working as a tutor and have perfected them for the past seven years as a mother of four young children. My main goal when tutoring or teaching is to guide the student to the answer through their own knowledge. I have found that by sharing the necessary tools for learning has been so much more beneficial than just offering the easy way out.
I have also discovered that by applying the dilemma to the student’s life, the answers seem to appear more easily to them and become applicable in more ways than just an answer on a test. I was lucky enough to spend four years doing what I love: reading and writing. I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a BA in English, with an emphasis in literary studies, and a minor in Humanities. I spent 2 years tutoring students in the BYU-Idaho reading center. My experience ranged from beginning readers to college level spee

Samuel H - Salt Lake City, UT 84118 (10.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $40.50/hr.
Education has been a major goal in my life and as I achieve that goal I find my self transitioning into helping others with the same goal. Aside from 10 years experience in my industry I have a Bachelors degree in Business Finance and an MBA in Finance and Financial Planning. During my career I have always played a service role of educating our clients and customers on finance, banking, trading, computers, economics, and other areas. Aside from teaching my own children ages 5, 3 and 2 I am constantly involved with youth programs. Between the youth programs I participate in and my volunteer work I have gained excellent communication skills allowing me to communicate with different ages, backgrounds, languages, and disabilities. My teaching style utilizes multiple methods. One of my talents is the ability to recognize when the light goes on and people understand what is being taught.

Julie N - Salt Lake City, UT 84117 (15.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $39.00/hr.
The hallmark of my teaching style is patience. If students do not immediately grasp a concept, I accept and relish the challenge of finding a way to reach through the barrier. I have found my greatest success is achieved when foundational concepts are built or re-built. A step-by-step approach usually works best, but I have developed great flexibility from working with students who function across a wide range of learning challenges. The early years of my experience were in the junior high setting. I taught sixth through ninth grade during this time, drawing heavily on my background strengths in theater, literature, grammar, creative writing, and my years as a legal secretary. I developed curriculum for the English department and was instrumental in launching an exploratory study system for alternative, creative learning.
For the last twelve years, I have taught basic writing for the

Mittie L - Cottonwood Hts., UT 84121 (15.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I received an award for classroom management, and work well with students who are learning English as a second language. I believe all children have the potential to excel if given the opportunity. I believe that attitude and approach create the climate in a classroom. I believe that learning is growth and not accumulation. I also believe a student must believe a teacher cares before they will care what a teacher knows. It is also important for a teacher to help a student develop positive self-esteem. I taught in a bi-lingual charter school and worked with students from many diverse ethnic backgrounds I also substituted in my off-track time for ESL instructors and Special-Ed students with learning disabilities. Each year I taught I attended special seminars on reading development and literature.

Wendy S - Grantsville, UT 84029 (16.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I understand the different learning styles and how to appropriately apply them. I enjoy teaching young people and am passionate about their way of discovery into their educational goals and outcomes. I realize that some students become frustrated or distracted; however, I believe once they understand how they learn and how to stay focused, they often achive well above expectations. As a Clemson graduate, I understand the importance of education. I have written many technical reports and research papers relevant to both of my degrees and my professional career. I have actively tutored High School students on a volunteer basis in my communities. I often filled in as a substitute teacher in the residential setting for at risk youth. I have tutored and taught, English, Social Studies, Math, and Science. I have worked with children and adults that have been mentally and/or physically challeng

Peter M - salt lake city, UT 84101 (16.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $42.50/hr.
Being a recent graduate of the University of Portland with a degree in International Business and Finance, I have already had the opportunity to use my skills by working in Financial Services in London. During my four years of study at the University of Portland, I spent two semesters in Salzburg, Austria and one semester in Perth, Australia. I have received top-tier education and plan to use this to my full potential, especially through teaching others. I have been very involved throughout my college years with tutoring (mainly Math and English) and continued tutoring Elementary level students part time while I was working in London. My teaching style incorporates an initial understanding of the student. I believe that it is crucial to understand the needs, wants, and habits of the individual to get the most out of each session. I am able to create an atmosphere which makes the work see

Andrew B - Salt Lake City, UT 84103 (19.2 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Teaching is a personal act. Though I have enjoyed being in the classroom and seeing students develop as a community of learners, I have seen the most progress by addressing students' individual needs in a one-on-one situation. I see literature as one of most effective ways that people come to understand one another, the act of reading being a fundamentally unselfish and inquisitive act, an attempt to make sense of and relate to another person’s perspective. Writing is reading’s reciprocal act—a kind of reaching out in hopes of being understood, in adding somehow to the volumes of human perspectives. These are keys to democratic living. It is a great thrill for me to see these discoveries take place within the students I teach. Having recently graduated with a master's degree in Literature and Writing, during which I also taught two college-level freshman writing courses, I am well versed

Linda G - Lindon, UT 84042 (23.2 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have a daughter that is hearing impaired and has a langauge processing disorder. I also have a teenage son that is extremely bright, but a little lazy at school work. Teaching and watching them learn has shown me all children can learn, but they do it in different ways and at different speeds. I am a kind tutor, but diligent in making sure all the work gets done and we are moving forward as quickly as the child can. I want them to meet or surpass grade level and feel good about themselves and the work they are doing. As a college tutor I worked with ESL students in writing. My English and MLIS degrees help with reading developement, research, literature selection, and writing quality. I have also home schooled my elementary age children in all academic subjects. Currently, I am volunteering at a local elementary school in the STAR program tutoring young children in reading.

Whitney M - Provo, UT 84601 (25.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I want to help those who may not otherwise speak, vocalize their own narratives and cultural idiosyncrasies through discovery of literature and language.
Empathy, which is vital to tutoring, is as vital, if not more, to teaching. I not only do my best to usher students gently through the writing process, I shut up and listen to their stories. To see a student light up at that moment of realization when they finally understand a concept, or to watch their fear for English melt just a little bit, is, for me, an immeasurable honor.
I like making people laugh, and I like when students feel I am there as not only a gentle voice of authority, but as a friend, too. I have served as a Writing Tutor with UVU for five years now, tutoring in all genres. In April I will graduate with my BS in English and Creative Writing. I worked as a tutor of writing at Austin Community College in TX fr

Amber R - Provo, UT 84606 (28 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As a former English major and editing minor at Brigham Young University I helped many students write and edit research and English papers. Along the way I also had the opportunity to edit an engineering Master's thesis. I have tutored in paper writing in various subjects as well as specifically tutoring in creative writing. I have worked with and on over thirty papers. I work very well one-on-one with students and am able to explain and teach what is necessary for better papers for the present and for the future. All of my students have received A grades on their papers. I am able to help students build their papers from the bottom up and go through completed papers and give assistance. I feel that I am able to teach and explain the elements that are required in a paper so that students may write better papers in the future. I greatly enjoy the one-on-one experience.

Katherine W - Provo, UT 84606 (28.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $61.00/hr.
My experience at Brigham Young University instilled in me a desire to pursue lifelong learning and to assist others in their own quest for knowledge. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in English Education and took advanced courses in Math and Spanish (I taught English in El Salvador). During my time at BYU, I fine-tuned my writing skills and also helped other students do the same, especially as I worked as an editor of a university journal. I have had the chance to present scholarly papers at professional conferences.
I have taught ACT preparation classes relating to all areas of the test (math, science, English, and reading comprehension). I have also been a private English, history, and science tutor. I strive to help your child achieve academic and personal success.
In my student teaching, I saw first-hand the need for students and teachers to have a relationship where
