Marc P - Camp Meeker, CA 95419 (5.7 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I was a community college English teacher for 12 years at Vista Community College in Berkeley, CA (now Berkeley City College). I taught in a special program tailored to working adults who had returned to school in order to earn their Associate of Arts degrees. This was not an academically confident population. They required enormous encouragement, personal attention, and coaching. I was very successful in this position because I was willing to talk with students on the phone, meet with them after class, and even respond to their essays at length on cassette tapes--my own idea! My approach to teaching is to provide what is needed, and sometimes that is not limited to the explicit task at hand. As an English teacher/tutor, I have often found that, rather than merely showing students how to recognize a complete sentence and use correct punctuation and grammar, the more important thing is to

Donna R - Agwin, CA 94508 (31.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Since I have worked students with a wide variety of learning issues; I feel that I am well prepared to assess and deliver educational materials and instruction to any student. I understand that each student has his learning style and prefers specific modalities such as: games & puzzles, logical sequential, the arts, naturalistic, etc. Although those would not be the only modalities I would use to educate my students, I feel that I must acknowledge this and respond with a portion of the lessons directed at personal interest. Also, the student's learning environment is important. My students are the recipients of a positive climate where tangible rewards/awards are delivered along with praise, emotional support and encouragement. I have been in the field of education for approximately 14 years of which the last 8 years have been special education. I have worked with students of all ag

Kathy R - Richmond, CA 94804 (41.3 mi) - Literature Tutor - $48.00/hr.
My Teaching Style is to build a relationship with the student and their family. That is based on trust, confidence and a great deal of praise. Everyones performance is driven by the encouragement that they get on a daily basis. So a very important part of my teaching style is to include the whole family. As well as to encourage them to praise my student daily.
Also they must provide activities that challenge their mind and build there confidence. This allows everyone to be a part of their success. For example: If they are working on reading skills. They must allow the child to read to them nightly. I love to tutor because it gives me an opportunity to help students build their skills and to teach them that they have the ability to learn anything,they want to learn and are willing to put their mind, determination and dedication into. I strongly believe that most if not all students are c

Karen R - El Sobrante, CA 94803 (41.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $45.50/hr.
My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able to quickly recognize students' learning styles and fashion my teaching style to what works best for each student. I employ a great deal of Vygotsky's research when teaching; that is to say that I fully understand Vygotsky's notion of how students' learning curves require a variety of sources to pull from such as media, books, music, and other people with whom to discuss their learning experiences. My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical significance

Clifford K - Morris, CA 06763 (42.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.00/hr.
As a recent graduate from the University of California Riverside, I have earned a bachelors of science degree from the institution. During my time at UCR I developed a passion for the sciences which was taught by dedicated professors who served as my mentors. After being exposed to many professors who have a passion for teaching, I want to also give back to the community in this way. I really like working with all sorts of people. There is no satisfaction greater than when I can see the spark in a person's eye when they comprehend materials they had not before. Everyone can learn any material they set their mind to if they have the motivation and the proper learning environment, and of course the right teacher. It is my desire to be a great teacher, educator, and mentor.

Julie G - San Francisco, CA 94122 (43.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I believe that being truly successful as a teacher requires patience and understanding, My greatest success has come from targeting individual issues and trouble spots. Working on these areas first, while cementing general principles for a subject. Most often pupils get stuck on a problem, that will hinder their success later. Being constructive and firm with your students creates respect and results, while at the same time being compassionate and open encourages questions and confidence. These skills allow me to relate well to my pupils and be a successful educator. I have been a tutor since my freshman year in college, when I fell in love with teaching. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Spanish and BA in Journalism. This allows me a great understanding of both Spanish and English Grammar. I affluent in editing and revising, as well as conversation and grammar practices. Over th
