Harry S. - Reno, NV 89506 (20.5 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I prefer a "hands on" approach in a one-on-one environment. I have had success with classrooms of up to 120 students, but I prefer the individual monitoring. It yields the best results.
I have tutored remedial reading at the Elementary level for a tutoring service out of Phoenix, AZ for the Washoe County School System in Reno.
While in my undergraduate study, I tutored fellow students who were struggling with beginning music theory. Another classmate and I taught classes in 4 levels of theory for up to 120 students while at U of P-West Chester.
I teach Music Reading, Voice production and beginning theory to individuals in my church choir as well as microphone and performance technique. I hold a BS in Mus. Ed. and an MM in Music Composition. I taught at the Elementary and Secondary level for 5 years, then moved on to teach in a Community college for 26 years. my subjects were applied m

Hannah P - Reno, NV 89523 (26.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have experience tutoring anything from phonics to college level writing. I taught preschool for a year and a half at the Lion and Lamb Christian Preschool in Reno, NV. I have also tutored at the UNR Writing Center (when it still existed) during the Fall semester of '08. Since October 2008 I have tutored at the Reno Huntington Learning Center where I teach phonics all the way up to SAT and ACT Verbal test prep. While at UNR I took an upper division English Class entitled "How to Tutor an English Writer." I also have a minor of Spanish from UNR. I am by no means fluent in the language but can read and understand it fairly well. I am comfortable tutoring anything below advanced high school Spanish. I think that kids light up life and make it interesting. That's why I love working with them. I love the intellectual stimulation of the older age groups and the academic challenge th

Janet M - Reno, NV 89523 (27.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I love helping people achieve their dreams and goals and I have high expectations for all children and adults I am teaching. As an educator I encourage my students to believe in themselves and convince them they have the ability to be successful in whatever they want to achieve. One of my students was struggling with C's and D's for grades and he was getting extra help but he was frustrated. Once or twice a week we would chat about it. I encouraged him to put forth a little more effort and I promised him his studies would get a little easier over time. Sure enough I saw the young man the following year and he came running up to me to tell me he made the honor roll. I never gave up on him and I know I played a part in his success. I started out as a Computer Science major and changed my major to education and became a certified educator and taught for eight years in the private and p

Nicole L - Reno, NV 89503 (27.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $33.50/hr.
Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one specific

KimberlyAnne D - Reno, NV 89512 (28.5 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $54.00/hr.
I have a friendly, encouraging approach with my students; I like them to feel comfortable working with me, but I also let them know that I have high expectations and that our tutoring sessions are not social time. My goal is to get students to understand the material and feel comfortable discussing and applying it, so my tutoring sessions are often very conversational. I provide a lot of feedback and will have students practice difficult concepts multiple times before moving on because I believe that practice is a key component to learning. I like to get to know my students and pinpoint their academic strengths and weaknesses so that together we can build on those things. I recently graduated from University of Nevada, Reno summa cum laude. I was also my high school valedictorian. I have always excelled in school because I love learning and have great organization and study skills.

Jason L - Sparks, NV 89431 (28.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I love to work with all children and college students. I believe that everyone can learn in his or her on way. I want your child to succeed and become better learners and get better grades. I believe in teaching with a calm voice and to be postive towards the students and not bashing. I believe that if a child or college student is motivated to work and become better he or she will be a better student and better in society. As a graduate of the University of Nevada Reno, I am driven to succeed in education. I have earned a bachelors degree in English writing, which has allowed me to understand many techniques in writing papers for different audiences. I also have a minor in Speech Communication which enables me to help students with speech writing and prepartion. Over the last year I tutored students at UNR in English composition and I am willing to expand my tutoring expertise to includ

Michelle B - Sparks, NV 89436 (28.9 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees in Business Management, shows my diverse expertise in both language arts and math. In addition, I highly enjoy science and have always excelled in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teac

Bradley G - Sparks, NV 89431 (29.2 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
A strength on which I have always prided myself is my ability to relate complex concepts with useful analogies and from different angles. I never underestimate a child's ability to learn something, so long as it's in a way in which they understand it. Curriculum development is also important. By that, I mean the creation of illustrations, tables, lists, acronyms, heuristics, and flash cards to aid a student in their thirst to learn. I am patient and fun, and working with children is something that has always animated and invigorated me. By getting a child to enjoy what he or she is learning, a tutor can open the floodgates to his or her potential and happiness. My experience in tutoring computers for the last 6 years and facilitating study sessions in college for the last 4 years has refined my skills in directing absorption of knowledge in a direction that is organized and on-task.

Jodi S - Crescent Mills, CA 95934 (38.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I enjoy helping others and thereby learning about myself in the process. I believe my teaching style revolves around communication, compassion, and finding the best way for the student to grasp the lesson or idea presented. I feel that everyone has their own way of comprehension and the challenge is for me to discover it.
I have taught primarily college and university level students ages 18+. I have tutored Math, English, Wildlife Biology, and Cell Biology. I never claim to have all the answers, only many ways of finding them. My professional background is primarily in marine mammal behavioral biology. I have 10 years field experience studying whale and dolphin habitat use, foraging behavior, and human interaction occurances. I also have a strong background in terrestrial wildlife conservation and natural resource policy.
I am a Phi Theta Kappa life member as well as a member
