Dave K - San Rafeal, CA 94903 (31.6 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.00/hr.
As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I have a unique way of helping students make meaningful connections between academics and their lives. I have taught world history, U.S. history, geography, psychology, study skills, health and core English. I have traveled to 53 countries, been a professional singer, a collegiate national champion in crew, and a triathelete. I have taken a one year leave of absence from my high school and moved to Lighthouse point in order to write a book. I look forward to helping inspire students to achieve great things. "No on

Marlon R - Fairfield, CA 94533 (37 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty. I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.

Lynda V - Vacaville, CA 95688 (38.2 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I possess a Bachelor of Arts degree and have been employed as a private tutor and as a substitute teacher. I am able to work with a wide variety of students. I have been employed with the Travis, Fairfield-Suisun, and Vacaville Unified School Districts. I have assisted students who were experiencing difficulty at the elementary school level with reading comprehension, decoding and phonetic skills. I have privately tutored students who were considered "at risk" students and helped them elevate their reading and math scores. I have also privately tutored high school students who were experiencing difficulty with reading comprehension and writing as they prepared to take the California High School Entrance Exam. As a goal oriented educator, I demonstrate to my students my enthusiasm for the subject matter. I am a commanding, authoritative presence, but never dictatorial. I use lots o

Nahrain A - Berkeley, CA 94704 (44.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I honestly believe that creativity is the guiding means of teaching techniques, resources, and assignments. All students require different things and creativity allows for an agility and flexibility that works with different students and keeps the teaching dialogue sustainable. This creativity is of course contingent on lesson plans, subject knowledge, and an array of resources. I am working toward teaching at the university level and have, of course in the process, taught students at the university level in literature and Arabic. But I enjoy tutoring and teaching students at a variety of levels because the different levels require different creativity and different techniques that create an ability to think on one's toes that feeds the classroom energy and enthusiasm.

Terra W - Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 (47.1 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $49.00/hr.
My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both the academic level and the temperament of each student are necessary before I establish a particular style. Some students are comfortable with a quieter, more formal tutor, while others are successful with a more casual, animated tutor.
In every situation, I look for opportunities to give positive reinforcement. For example, I usually warm-up with material the student feels relatively confident about, then add new or more challenging concepts, and end with the student feeling successful practicing on his or her own. I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taug
