Jesse M - Waukee, IA 50263 (38.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching with individuals of all ages. I believe that every person should learn something new everyday and to succeed in doing this all that is needed is a common link. My patience and determination show to my students that I am there to help them. Coupling this with a view at the big picture helps a teacher better understand which ways a student learns. Since all students do not learn in the same manner it is pertinent to establish a game plan in the first meeting and help them work through any difficulties that they may learning the subject manner. Once your teaching style is on the same page as their learning style, everything should work out in the end. Not only are you a tutor but you should also be a role model. As an Iowa State graduate, I was very driven to not only achieve a great education but to actually learn the material set forth by my professors. At Iowa Stat

Kathryn W - Clive, IA 50325 (39.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I've always loved interacting and working with children (through nannying, volunteering, and tutoring) but after finishing my master's degree I believe it is even more important to give children the right tools for learning early on so that they have a real chance for success in life. I believe each child has strengths and weaknesses and that both positive reinforcement and constructive feedback are necessary for success. I am easy to relate to, kind, and give students the time they need to think through what they are doing. I believe in offering guidance and support but ultimately letting students work things out for themselves--this gives them a sense of accomplishment and ensures they will be able to complete the same task in the future. I have always had a passion for literacy and working with children. After graduating summa cum laude with a B.A. in English, I began working at an ed

Kristen M - Grimes, IA 50111 (44 mi) - Writing Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have discovered that every individual no matter what age has the ability to learn and adapt. It is how the learning occurs and in what way the individual finds success that is the focus of my teaching styles. My personal style of educating is focused around a person centered philosophy and the knowledge that every individual has different ways of learning. I have utilized the following methods in my previous teaching and training experiences; basic paper materials, models, photo book, modeling, hand-over-hand, graphs, charts, and a mix of visual and auditory reading materials. I am excited to continue gaining knowledge through the learning of other individuals. I am currently the program counselor for a Federal Grant through the Department of Education. My role as counselor is centered on individuals with various skills and abilities who are working to gain basic community and emp

Dennis S - Urbandale, IA 50322 (44.5 mi) - Writing Tutor - $54.50/hr.
I am patient, easy going and considerate. I understand that students learn in different ways, so I try to adapt my style accordingly. For example, perhaps one student learns best from oral instruction, while another prefers hands-on experience. My goal is to shape my teaching approach to best fit the needs of the student. I have an extensive background in the mass communications field. My formal education includes a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degeee in mass communications, both from Drake University in Des Moines. Professionally, I have written for daily newspapers and for the public relations and marketing efforts of major Iowa corporations.

Virginia C - Johnston, IA 50131 (44.7 mi) - Writing Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a twenty year veteran of the advertising agency business, I have had significant training and experience in communication skills. I am both a talented writer and presenter and have gained teaching experience through volunteer programs and as a guest lecturer.
I have spent the past several years running a media planning business from my home, using the flexibility this arrangement allowed to complete my Masters Degree.
I have extensive writing and research experience with superior grammatical skills. My teaching philosophy mirrors my learning philosophy.

Knowing that not all students learn in the same way necessitates an understanding of individual facilitation as well as group facilitation. I believe in creating an environment that creates curiosity and engagement that will result in
