Carla K - Bentonville, AR 72712 (10.2 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $60.00/hr.
My teaching style is highly creative to borderline eccentric! I have extensive training in the various learning styles and instinctively target the student's learning style in order to make the most progress. I am a firm believer in kinesthetic learning activities and of using a hands-on, mnemonic-driven approach to teaching.
My varied background and life resume offers life experiences that I can use to expand students' varied situations. I have enjoyed substitute teaching since 1991; it was a part- time occupation that worked well as I re-entered the college scene in order to advance my AA degree to a BA in Political Science. Life and destiny urged me to earn a teacher's certification in Texas, where I later worked as an ESL 4th-5th grade teacher in the Waco (Texas) Independent School District for three years. A move to Kentucky to be closer to my aging mother resulted in si

Michelle M - Lowell, AR 72745 (16.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I am an award-winning journalist and editor with 10 years of experience. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in journalism. I also concentrated on English, political science and history while in school. While in college, I was the teaching assistant for advanced reporting and advanced editing, two capstone classes for a bachelor's degree. In those positions, I mentored students one-on-one, and I helped them improve their writing and editing skills. Since graduation, I have volunteered as a teacher for religious school, and I also freelance as an editor for several professional publications. I earned a 31 on the ACT and a 780 on SAT II: Writing. I absolutely love learning and helping others accomplish their goals (just ask my husband, who I've helped hold down a full-time job while going back to school). I also love studying for tests and make exam prep fun.

Virginia B - Springdale, AR 72764 (17.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I have taught either French or English, either in the classroom or as a private tutor, since 1989, when I was recruited as an undergraduate to teach Elementary French. For the next 5 years I taught all levels of French grammar and PhD readings, as well as first and second semester English Grammar and Composition courses while pursuing my MFA in Literary Translation (French and Spanish). I’m passionate about both French and English and have a strong desire to bring a love of and competence in both subjects to my students.
My teaching, even in the classroom, is focused as much as possible on the individual student. Most recently, in the summer of 2009, I taught French in the Upward Bound program at the University of Arkansas. My teaching philosophy involves connecting with individual students. One of my strengths is identifying strong points in a student’s performance and teaching him

Leslie C - Fayetteville, AR 72704 (18.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Throughout college, I held myself to a high educational standard, and maintained a 3.92 GPA.

I also tutored many students with learning disabilites such as autism and ADD/ADHD. I firmly believe that every student can learn, given the proper environment and instruction. I make it a point to listen to my students and try to see intellectual confusion and impas

Michael L - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (21.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I graduated from Henderson State University with a BA degree in sociology and since then I have worked in residential treatment facilities as a therapist, a teacher, and tutor or councelor. I am currently a CASA volunteer in Fayetteville, assisting children who need advocacy in the court system. I have been a freelance writer here in Fayetteville for many years and have had much of my writing published.

I have tried to apply a balance of patience and diligence to my teaching. I am always hoping for maximum results but, realize that learning is up to the individual and each person has a different learning experience. Being sincerely interested in a student's progress and success has no substitute. It is one of the most powerful resource

Patricia J - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (22 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.00/hr.
In a nutshell, I taught high school English for eleven years. I am passionate about all facets of education in the classroom and the real world. I have much to offer my students whether it be a love of literature, grammar and vocabulary or life itself! I love to teach. My teaching style is one of discipline and at the same time hands-on. Students must feel the relevance of the world around them in order to gain an understanding of what's being taught. I work with the individual but never let the focus off of the competition that's waiting. Students must understand that learning is an every day, every moment experience. It's all about how they see the world around them. I love teaching and working with children. The "aha" moment is what I live for. I believe that EVERY student can achieve what they set their mind to with guidance and persistence.

Renee H - Tahlequah, OK 74464 (35.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I find it rewarding to teach children and adults the necessary skills that allow them to obtain full English literacy. One of the greatest accomplishments in the course of the educational process is the acquisition of full, quality literacy; it is the foundation. Consequently, I prefer a step-by-step, pragmatic method of teaching English language skills: phonics, words, syllables, consonants, verbs, sentences, punctuation, grammar, etc. As a long-term adjunct instructor, I have successfully cultivated an effective set of best teaching practices relative to the English language and Communications. I make every conscious attempt to relate to my students as individuals and to meet their educational needs. Additionally, I exert much effort with students to impress upon them the importance of education in their lives and the fact that learning can be totally fun.
