Lara S. - Bentonville, AR 72712 (23.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $21.00/hr.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and pre-medicine. I have experience working with children who have autism. Elementary education is important to me since it is the foundation upon which later learning is built. I believe that all students have strengths and weaknesses and that each child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school. While psychology was my primary area of study, I am excellent with reading, writing, and medical related sciences.
Being a kinesthetic learner I am familiar with the challenges a traditional classroom setup create. I know how to help an introverted child move to the head of the class and tailor their study habits to their abilities.
Reading is important at all ages and comes more easily for some than others. For any child that lags behind in this area I am passionate about moving them to the front of the class. In my opinion, allowing a c

Suzan H - 12012 East Airport Drive, AR 72732 (7.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.00/hr.
From a love of nature, I pursued a career in the life sciences, majoring in Biology as an undergraduate and exploring the plant sciences in graduate school. An interest in the organization of chromosomes led to work with a small soil nematode. I studied gene expression, energy metabolism, and immune responses in a long-lived stage of this little worm. My teaching experience began with students at the secondary level. I have taught subjects in the biological sciences at the community college and university levels, and have tutored college preparatory Chemistry. I now work with students in the public schools from kindergarten to high school levels. I enjoy helping others develop their potential and learn about the natural world. It is a pleasure to see students grow in understanding and gain confidence to solve problems successfully. My teaching style is flexible, depending upon the subjec

Michelle M - Lowell, AR 72745 (19.9 mi) - Composition 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.

John B - Bentonville, AR 72712 (22.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.50/hr.
My teaching style purposefully reflects the great teachers I have had. While I consider my subject and field of study greatly important, I realize that all work and no play kills desire. A subject, especially English, has to come alive; students have to relate. Of course grammar is always the hard part to "dress up," but that's the fun of teaching. The best lesson I have learned is that each student is different and what makes him/her tick is different. That's why I love tutoring because I can find that catalyst and really see a lot of progress. During my college career, I tutored for two years. I tutored first and second year undergraduates, consistently dealing with issues concerning reading comprehension, paper construction, grammar, and developmental thinking. I have also been teaching the last year (9th grade English) at a private school. My education (BA in English) successfully pr

Virginia B - Springdale, AR 72764 (23.1 mi) - Composition 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

Carla K - Bentonville, AR 72712 (23.3 mi) - Composition 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

Jeffrey C - Wesley, AR 72773 (24.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $35.50/hr.
While my experience as a trainer has been with adult employees, they have been a diverse group in terms of age, educational background, literacy and experience. I believe what is important in teaching is first to have a passion for it, second to have knowledge of the subject matter, and third to have the communication skills to connect with your students. I received a BA in History from the University of Arkansas in 1991. My cumulative GPA at the U of A was 3.96. I was in the Honors Program and graduated Summa cum Laude. I also received several other academic awards from the History Department and the University.
I have worked in the Commercial Construction industry for the past seventeen years. For the past five years I have been deeply involved in employee training. I have designed curriculums and provided training in safety as well as general construction knowledge such as Blue-prin

Kelly W - Bella Vista, AR 72715 (27.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Teaching and tutoring have been my life's work. Though the majority of my experience is at the college level, I love working with students of all ages. All children have the ability to learn; some need more help than others finding that one pedagogical method that really makes everything "click" for them. I am patient, am able to infuse an element of fun into my tutorials and classes, considerate, and dedicated to my students' success. Teachers and tutors have always had a postive impact in my life, and I look to share that same experience with my students. I believe in being enthusiastic in the subjects I teach and tutor; that enthusiasm is the key to getting students invested into whatever subject I am teaching. As I am a current Ph.D. student in English Literature, I have an immense interest in education--not only my own education but also the education of others. As I have been worki

Adam C - Fayetteville, AR 72703 (27.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a teacher in Ukraine, I was not there to replace the normal history and literature teachers. Instead, I supplemented their lessons and focused on developing critical thinking skills and stressed one on one interactions with the students. With history, the real teaching comes not in the memorization of facts, but in gaining an understanding of context, critical thinking, and the ability to approach the subject with a degree of relativity. I believe that the best learning comes from creating an atmosphere of friendliness and mutual respect between student and tutor. I was able to establish this relationship with my students in Ukraine. Though I have not had any experience teaching in any school system in the United States, when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine I taught both American history and American literature to high school aged students. I have a B.A. in history from

While in attendance at the University of Arkansas, I earned two degrees, a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in American Studies. In addition to these degrees, I also earned a minor in History. As I was completing my undergraduate degree, I participated in varsity athletics, maintained a part-time job, was active in student government, and volunteered through AAO. I am capable of aiding in history, geometry, algebra, and other basic courses. I love to help children learn all that they possibly can because I feel that a quality education is the great equalizer. I am easy-going, task-oriented, and very passionate about helping those who may be having trouble in learning something.
