Florence M. - Saint Louis, MO 63114 (36.4 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $32.50/hr.
Students learn best when they feel safe to explore and learn from past mistakes. In fact, 'mistakes' should be viewed as opportunities to improve skills and learning strategies. I use 'play therapy' most often to teach skills and strategies. Multiple studies have demonstrated that children learn best through play. I have 30+ years of experience helping students with a variety of disabilities which include language disorders. My experience encompasses Early Childhood Special Education, Elementary, Middle, High School, and post-secondary. I have helped students with ADD/ADHD, Autism/Aspergers/PDD-NOS, learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, medically fragile, language impaired and ESL (English as a Second Language).

Kyle S. - St. Louis, MO 63139 (40.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I believe that each student has a unique learning style of that must be discovered in real-time. Therefore I tailor the lessons towards an open, organic, collaborative process. I focus on small incremental steps designed to build momentum and flow states, which is the best way to start anything. The goal of any lesson is to bring the student to a place where they can learn on their own. The purpose of learning is fun! I worked in the financial sector for 10 years and have a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance. Since then I have focused my efforts into freelance teaching, and have worked with students in a variety of subjects: chess, math, finance, language arts, history, piano, and writing, among others. Other subjects I’ve studied informally: literature, language, history, politics & government.

Taylor D. - Saint Louis, MO 63124 (40.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I like to nurture my students without enabling them. I tend to ask my students pointed questions about the subject at hand to inspire critical thinking and push them to arrive at their own interpretation of the correct answer. I feel that this best prepares them for college-level work. I graduated from Princeton University with a BA (cum laude) in History and will be starting a Ph.D. program in History in the fall. I served as a tutor at the middle school level during my college years and have worked with High School students on History, English and ACT/SAT prep for the past year.I have also served in various other academically-related positions, including as a research assistant and library assistant.

Tony S - Godfrey, MO 62035 (21.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position. I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path.

Kyle M - Edwardsville, IL 62025 (29 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I like to teach by using examples (as many as it takes) and by breaking down difficult concepts into relevant, manageable information for the person I'm assisting. Positive reinforcement is a major part of how I teach. I am a fun, patient person that enjoys helping others, and I am confident that I can help your child meet and exceed his/her education goals. I am a recent graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a BS in Business Administration - International Business and a focus in Chinese. Because this program is relatively new, a degree in International Business required multiple Finance courses, which allowed me to learn many advanced statistical and mathematical concepts. In these classes, I often assumed an informal tutor role and helped my fellow students understand difficult points. In addition, I trained new employees during my tenure as Lab Manager of

Lani M - Jacksonville, IL 62650 (29.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I am very passionate about teaching. I am a very hands-on type of teacher that really likes to get the student involved in their learning. I like to set goals for learning, but also find it important for students to set their own goals as well. I believe that all children can learn, no matter what. It is just my job as a teacher to be able to help figure out their best way to learn as well as bring those resources to that student for their success. I graduated National-Louis University with a 3.7 GPA, and am also in the Kappa Delta Pi honors society for teaching. I have had many years of experience in the classroom, and with many different programs. I also have tutored previously for Sylvan tutoring. I am a Golden Apple Scholar, which is a prestigious award for teaching scholars that I won my senior year of high school. My experience has mostly been with younger students but recently I h

Robert D - Florissant, MO 63031 (30.6 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Learning should be fun. I strive to make a point of this when ever I teach. I do this in both lectures and tests. I find a little humor takes the edge off test taking and allows the student to concentrate on the subject matter without being nervous. I have taught Accounting courses at a JC and Business College in the St. louis area. I also taught Accounting and Finance courses at a Business College in Raleigh, NC. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing.

I understand that students learn at different speed, but this speed can be improved with time and constant practice. Everybody have the ability to learn if given the opportunity, and this is what I am always willing to do. I enjoy teaching because I know I can bring out the best in my students I have four years teaching experience in all levels of education. I have been involved helping students improve their learning skills. Students need a teacher that can break complex problems to simple forms for better understanding, and this is my role.

Kiley U - Springfield, IL 62703 (35.2 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I was a very shy child, and have been able to find comfort within to obtain success in not only the classroom, but in life. I am good at drawing students out of their shell, and figuring out how they can be most comfortable with academics to benefit the most from their education. I believe that my success in a tutoring situation is as dependent on the student’s style of learning as it is on my method of tutoring. I recognize not everyone learns the same way. I am a believer of asking the student where they are struggling and what they feel the problem is, so I can mold the tutoring session to best benefit him, or her, based on personality and comfort. This approach has found success whether I was coaching, guiding, or teaching. My entire educational career has been based on my innate drive for excellence. I was valedictorian of my high school class, graduated Summa Cum Laude as a triple

Joni L - Maryland Heights, MO 63043 (37 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Adaptation and flexibility are the keys to teaching and tutoring. Children have varying styles of learning and each requires a different teaching style. My goal as a tutor is to identify the learning style of the student and adapt to it. I believe that all students have the ability to learn if they are provided with the right environment. I believe in making learning fun. I am a patient; kind and highly-energetic individual who would love to help children obtain their learning goals. Throughout my school experience, I have been a top performer. I attended a "gifted" program in elementary school. I was the Valedictorian at Hagerstown Junior/Senior High School in Hagerstown, Indiana. I received a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. There, I majored in Economics and was a tutor for Micro- and Macroeconomics students my junior and senior years

Bertha W - St. Louis, MO 63133 (37.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Patient but result driven. I try to adapt by teaching style to the needs and personality of the student. Some children are more responsive to games and visuals while others are able to read and digest the information with just a little assistance. I spend the first session getting to know the child and discussing their likes and dislikes about school. I also review the area(s) that they are experiencing difficult and solicit a response from them about why they feel they are having problems in those areas. I take the feedback from the session and devise a teaching strategy that best suits the child's learning style and personality. I have over 10 years of Elementary Education Experience, working as a long-term Substitute Teacher,a Parent Educator, Community Recruiter, Grant Writer, and Tutor. I love helping children explore and develop their potential through learning. My speciality
